Yeah, TRIMC 95 does have a point there. Iago and Anastasia, while they were villains, were more like minions than the actual main bad guy. Probably the closest we've gotten to an actual main bad guy getting redeemed in the films was with Maleficent in the film of the same name, and that's not really the same thing since they basically altered everyone's characters (everyone except possibly Aurora, and even that...). Disney hasn't gone so far as to actually redeem a main bad guy since... well, since they started long-term animation with Snow White.

I think the closest Disney has actually gotten to redeeming a main bad guy is with Pete in the Magical Quest series, where the third installment has him repenting his evil ways in the end, and those are video games.
