I just realized that Disney villains tend to die in extremely gruesome ways in those "nice kid's films". I guess it's a credit to Disney that they think that much of their audience, but it's still chilling.

Let's look back at several of these horrible undoings. Obviously, these are how the stories end, so if you don't want them ruined, avert your eyes.


SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES (1937):
The Witch falls off a crumbling cliff after it's struck by lightning.

PETER PAN (1953):
The crocodile chases Captain Hook, trying to eat him. We don't find out if he succeeds.

SLEEPING BEAUTY (1959):
Maleficent is slain by Prince Charming when she turns into a giant dragon. He lunges it straight through her heart.

101 DALMATIANS (1961):
While maniacally trying to run the Dalmatians off the road (who are in a moving truck that isn't even involved), Cruella De Vil's car is run off the road by Jasper and Horace, who were trying to crash into the moving truck. She's fine, but otherwise ruined.

THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967):
Mowgli ties a flaming stick to Shere Kahn's tail to make him run away after he almost killed Baloo.

THE ARISTOCATS (1970):
Alfred the greedy butler is locked in a small trunk and shipped to Timbuktu, presumably with no air.

THE RESCUERS (1977):
Madame Medusa clings to her sinking houseboat while it's being destroyed by fireworks, wailing for her diamond.

THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE (1986):
Rattigan plummets off the top of Big Ben, dragging down the hero, Basil, with him. Basil survives by pedaling what's left of Rattigan's bicycle-powered blimp back to the clock tower.

OLIVER AND COMPANY (1988):
Sykes is run over by a train while chasing Oliver and his gang across the Manhattan Bridge.

THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989):
The enormous Ursala is skewered in the stomach by the jagged bow of a large ship being steered by Prince Eric. She commences to explode and drown.

THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER (1990):
McCleach falls down a large waterfall after fighting off a bunch of crocodiles.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991):
Gaston is thrown off the top of the castle and plummets screaming down a huge chasm.

ALADDIN (1992):
Jafar doesn't actually die in this one, but when he becomes a genie, he's tricked to being imprisoned in a lamp. He dies in the sequel, THE RETURN OF JAFAR (1994), when his lamp melts and he's painfully destroyed.

THE LION KING (1994):
Scar is devoured by hyenas that he thought were going to save him. We see him writhe around in a large silhouette cast on Pride Rock as hyenas jump on him and gnash into his flesh.

POCAHONTAS (1995):
After Governor Radcliffe wounds John Smith, the English colonists mutiny and wrap him in chains. He presumably doesn't die, but he's going to be at the mercy of 17th century English justice when he gets back.

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1996):
Cluade Frollo stands on one of the gargoyles, prepared to run a sword through Quasimodo and Esmerelda, when it comes to life (as you recall they do) and they both fall off Notre Dame to the burning streets below. I don't remember that clearly, but I think that Frollo's moral turmoil were represented by vivid visions of terror, so his fall into the flames might have taken on a much more infernal nature as he fell.

HERCULES (1996):
Hades the God of Death is sucked down the bottom of the River Styx by the souls that he torments. Since he's immortal and can't drown, I assume he's pretty unhappy down there.

TARZAN (1999):
Clayton is fighting Tarzan in the forest, when they both fall. Tarzan gets away, but Clayton is strangled by vines wrapping around his throat.

THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE (2000):
Actually one of the more amusing ends of the villains, this being a more lighthearted Disney movie than usual. Yzma is just turned into a small kitten and can't turn back.


After this, I stopped paying attention to Disney movies. Maybe you know some other horrible fates for the Disney villains, which could have gone a long way to traumatizing their child audiences, but in a good way. ;)

huh, that kind of puts it in perspective

Quote from: m16;1402446huh, that kind of puts it in perspective

Puts what in perspective? How Disney films can have really horrifying moments even though they're "for children"?

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402448Puts what in perspective? How Disney films can have really horrifying moments even though they're "for children"?

well, when you throw them all together in one place like that, most of which i haven't watched in years, yeah it's kind of interesting.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402434PETER PAN (1953):
The crocodile chases Captain Hook, trying to eat him. We don't find out if he succeeds.

We do, in Hook he caught the crocodile and put it on the town square for show.

Quote from: Asshatclock;1402455We do, in Hook he caught the crocodile and put it on the town square for show.

fuk hook

Quote from: Asshatclock;1402455We do, in Hook he caught the crocodile and put it on the town square for show.

Hook is Disney canon? :p

Well, in that movie, the Crocodile statue or whatever then falls on him and finishes what it started. ;)

But there's a Disney sequel to Peter Pan with Captain Hook in it, which implies that he got away. Still, seeing him swim maniacally in the water while the crocodile snapped at him was pretty jarring.

Quote from: m16;1402458fuk hook

Hook is awesome fuck you.

edit:
also you forgot

can't remember how she ended either.

Quote from: Asshatclock;1402461Hook is awesome fuck you.

nothing in hook really happened unlike the disney movie which was for real

so fuck you

Quote from: Asshatclock;1402461can't remember how she ended either.

Fuck you're right. I was thinking about that one while driving home from the mall today. I'll pop that right in.

cruela just slaps those 2 guys for being imbeciles didnt she?

Quote from: SouvlakiClock;1402468cruela just slaps those 2 guys for being imbeciles didnt she?

No. Watch the movie sometime. :grumpy:

There are some people with moustaches you just need to respect.


like him.

Growing up watching disney movies, none of the deaths bothered me until the clayton one.

Quote from: FloundermanClock;1402474Growing up watching disney movies, none of the deaths bothered me until the clayton one.

Yeah, that was pretty terrifying. We don't see the villains smash on the ground a mile below, but we did see the camera keep going down past Clayton while he was gagging.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402434PETER PAN (1953):The crocodile chases Captain Hook, trying to eat him. We don't find out if he succeeds.

Yeah I got scared at that part when I was a kid. I used to be afraid of death so every time a cartoon character died I'd start feeling weird.

Did Lilo and Stitch have a villain to get killed, or was it less of a villain-driven story?

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402496Did Lilo and Stitch have a villain to get killed, or was it less of a villain-driven story?

Nobody really died in that movie, and the villains were less "villains" and more like "guys following orders to do shit". Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakely lived happy lives on Earth, and Gantu was "retired." Although what that means i do not know.

The only person who was the closest to dead was that guard after Stitch did the "DNA in your spit" trick to bust out, but then you see him duck under his hat and have the plasma bursts miss him and blow open the door.



Heck, the only thing that was really seriously damaged were a few ships and several ice cream cones, along with a house. Looks like plasma is surprisingly nonlethal.

:this: I never saw the movie, so all that is kind of flying over my head. Maybe I should see it at some point, but I don't know if it's worth it.

I liked it, the show is horrendous though.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402434SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARVES (1937):
The Witch falls off a crumbling cliff after it's struck by lightning.

I don't remember this one.

Quote from: FloundermanClock;1402474Growing up watching disney movies, none of the deaths bothered me until the clayton one.

I agree, I really reacted like "hey what--- WHOAH. Whoah... whoah." It was a bit disturbing.

I never made a recompilation of their "deaths" until now you mention it. I think my favorite is
the one in from Aladdin. This one was one of the first ones to grab me at the edge of the seat and Jafaar kept doing douchebaggery with the rest of the characters.

OH! Hey you forgot Hades from Hercules. He fucking got pulled down to bottom of the Styx.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402505:this: I never saw the movie, so all that is kind of flying over my head. Maybe I should see it at some point, but I don't know if it's worth it.

Its good but as Flounderman said, the series are shit. The movie did a good job and had a funny campaign interfering with other Disney classic scenes.

 Still is not what happens of course.

Huh, I guess I never really thought about Disney deaths being so gruesome.

Quote from: TequilaClock;1402515OH! Hey you forgot Hades from Hercules. He fucking got pulled down to bottom of the Styx.

WHY AM I FORGETTING THESE ONES?? SHIT!

Added.

i never looked at the disney movies that way really before

Remember the fight scene between the tramp and the rat in Lady and the Tramp?  That scared the crap out of me, even though it doesn't really qualify as a villain death.

Let's not forget TRON, which includes animated electro-blood and exposed brains when Tron hits Sark in the head with a disc and splits his head open:
The headshot itself was also left in the Kingdom Hearts II re-enactment, if not the brain. :D

Drag to 0:30 to see the hit:

Not original audio, obviously.

In the DVD commentary, someone says "And there's your PG right there!" (otherwise it probably would've been rated G.

Quote from: RomanCollarClock;1402527Remember the fight scene between the tramp and the rat in Lady and the Tramp?  That scared the crap out of me, even though it doesn't really qualify as a villain death.

No. I never saw Lady and the Tramp.

The only scene I remember from it was that one where the dog that looked like Peggy Lee, singing about the Tramp.

Didn't you find it odd that one of the characters had the legal name "Jim Dear"?

This isn't a Disney movie, but the Villain in We're back! (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108526/) dies in a pretty gruesome way.

Quote from: Plug-In;1402666This isn't a Disney movie, but the Villain in We're back! dies in a pretty gruesome way.

He gets enveloped by crows. That weird little gasp he does right before they swoop down on him still haunts me.

There's also "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Commander Rourke turns into some stone monster thing and then is killed by the balloon's blades.

Drag to around 1:36.

Also, I agree on what's been mentioned about the death in Tarzan being a bit disturbing.

:this: One of the more bizarre deaths, I should think.

Quote from: Anne Robinson;1402709Also, I agree on what's been mentioned about the death in Tarzan being a bit disturbing.

Seeing the guy actually die is a little more upsetting than seeing what will cause him to die.

First time i saw Rourke in that form, i almost shat my pants.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402710Seeing the guy actually die is a little more upsetting than seeing what will cause him to die.

You'd think a fall from that height would have cut his head off or broke the vine, not hung him.

Quote from: Wind-up Clock;1402499Nobody really died in that movie, and the villains were less "villains" and more like "guys following orders to do shit". Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakely lived happy lives on Earth, and Gantu was "retired." Although what that means i do not know.

Gantu had to find a new job, which in the Lilo and Stich Show, he works for a hamster thing named Dr. Jacques von Hämsterviel (Used Wikipedia for that btw) with his partner 625 where he resides in a crashed ship under a waterfall.

Quote from: The Hero of Winds;1402730You'd think a fall from that height would have cut his head off or broke the vine, not hung him.

I don't think he fell that far, and maybe the vines were only strong enough to strangle him rather than take his head off.

But that would have been pretty nasty, too.

Tarzan's death scene was horrifying.

Alice in Wonderland can be disturbing to a child in it's own right.

Quote from: ampm;1402749Tarzan's death scene was horrifying.

Alice in Wonderland can be disturbing to a child in it's own right.

I know a lot of the weird scene, emo and punk kids I talk to claim it as one of their favourite Disney films.

Quote from: SnakeClock;1402745I don't think he fell that far, and maybe the vines were only strong enough to strangle him rather than take his head off.

But that would have been pretty nasty, too.

If they weren't strong enough they'd break and he'd fall to the ground like tarzan. If they were strong enough a fall greater than 10 feet would most likely cut his head off.

They actually had to watch out for this when they hung people back in the day.

Not really relevant, but I never got heartbroken or something about Bambi's mother getting shot because I was too young and stupid to understand the movie. I haven' seen it since I was around 3 years old.

I didnt thought it was disturbing, I thought it was really funny.

A classic tragedy in the world of cinema. :(

The leader of the huns in Mulan is shot with a firework and knocked into a room full of fireworks which explodes.

I saw that movie, but I forgot how Attila the Hun met his timely end. That one was certainly a good one.

That looked like it was from "An Extremely Goofy Movie", and I never remembered any racist subplots in it in the least. It didn't have the attention span for it. I have a feeling it's a bad fan dub or something.

Mulan{

A bunch of fireworks explode in the guys chest. Yucky.

I can't remember what happens to Rasputin in Anastasia

Oh sorry

Not sure if it's Disney (I think it is) but there was a movie called Help I'm a fish about a bunch of kids that turn into fish, and the fish start getting smarter and smarter untill like big fish are busses and it was very cool seeing a fish city.

Anyway, the bad guy fish at the end starts evolving really quickly and looks more and more human, and in the end he finally becomes human and for a few seconds is scary as fuck but then he drowns and it was really creepy

They used the Dialogue from an Episode of Static Shock. The guy that does the voice for Max from the Goof Movie does the voice for Richie in Static Shock apparently.

Good Heavens, that does sound pretty weird. Apparently, though, it's an animated movie from Denmark, so I'm not that surprised.

Also,
THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993):
Oogie Boogie gets a loose string on his sack-like body unravelled, and it turns out that he's made of hundreds of bugs that break apart when he's split open.

It's a fusion of clips from Max and a Static Shock character, according to the comments.

Never saw the sequel, disney sequels are never good. Except for the aladdin and lion king ones.

Quote from: RomanCollarClock;1404197Too bad the sequel sucked dick.

Is like making a sequel of the French Revolution. There just can't be a sequel.
