Disney villains are well known for their devilish
personalities and dark motives. And fittingly enough, these evil characters
typically meet their end in rather gruesome ways. But which of these deaths are the most gruesome? Which ones got taken out quickly and which
ones met the most screwed up and agonizing ends? Iām Brad with WickedBinge, and today, weāre
taking a grim look at how these Disney villains leave their mortal coil... These are Disney Villain Deaths: Least Gruesome
to Most Gruesome. Now, as far as the rules goā¦ The villains must die in some way. They canāt have a fake out death or just
be left for death. So that means villains that arenāt confirmed
to have died or are said to be alive by the directors wonāt be here. Also, weāre only counting actual Disney
movie villains; no Pixar villains or Disney TV show or TV show movie villains. But let us know if we should do those in the
future. And finally, only one villain death per movie. Now letās get started! First up, we have The Fallers. These are villains that died in the most standard
way possible by Disney movie standards: Falling to their doom. The bottom of this chain has the rat, Ratigan. After a battle on Big Ben, he ended up falling
off the clock tower to his death. Thatās, really about it; falling off of
a tower is a painful way to go, but really not that flashy or painful. What is painful is that Ratigan falling off
was due to him thinking that he had won and outsmarted Basil, only to be duped by the
very same trap he set up for him. What ultimately puts him down this low is
that, well, he pretty much died on impact. There wasnāt much time for any real pain
to set in. Thatās going to be a problem for a lot of
these falls. No one fights like Gaston, nobody falls to
their death like Gaston. Yet another faller, he meets his end during
the fight with Beast. After almost being mauled, Gaston begs for
his life to be spared, to which the Beast agrees on the condition that he leave him
and Belle alone. Of course, no one disobeys orders like Gaston,
so seeing him hug Belle sets him off and leads to him literally backstabbing the beast. This would prove to be a mistake, as thanks
to the Beast staggering around in pain, he was accidentally knocked off into the moat
below. While this still definitely hurts, itās
above Ratigan for just how less likely for an instant kill, and if that doesnāt take,
the drowning will. Regardless, there are still plenty of other
villains that can die slower than Gaston. For our second to last faller here, we have
King Runeard. While he may be dead before the film officially
started, he certainly did make an impact on the world, namely by creating that damn dam
to block the power for the Northuldra people and their magic. He definitely brought his own demise upon
himself, as he was the one who started the conflict between them and Arendelle, attacking
the Northuldraās leader while they were defenseless and starting the war against them
properly. While he did die in the war, it wasnāt due
to a slice of the sword or a gunshot, but rather by, you guessed it, falling to his
death. Percival McLeach of the Rescuers Down Under
is up next, or rather, down next. After trying to get Cody to be eaten by crocodiles,
he ends up falling into the river, thanks to Joanna. With him in the river now, heās now the
one targeted by the crocodiles, and not Cody anymore. However, this does nothing to slow him down,
as he just fights them off with his rifle with no bullets. However, this would eventually be for naught,
thanks to a waterfall at the end of the river. Despite trying to get out of the river, he
ends up going over and falling down. He may have had a brief moment of triumph,
placing him lower than others, but itās still definitely a way we wouldnāt want
to go out on. The next least cruel death goes to Zira, our
first villain death from a sequel. The writing was on the walls that she wasnāt
long for this world, with her threatening to kill Vitani, causing her entire pride to
essentially give up on her and go join Simbaās. Now being all alone, she decides to just go
with her plan of killing Simba, only for Kiara to fight her, with both of them falling over
the cliff. While Kiara is capable of getting back up
herself... Zira, not so much. She needs Kiara to help her up. While she was willing to help Zira despite
her misdeeds, Zira was less than willing herself. Despite thinking it over, she decides that
she would rather die than live with Simba. Now, falling into a river and dying definitely
isnāt that pleasant; what puts her down this low is that she purposefully did it. Itās a choice she was willing to make, and
while we are positive that it hurts to die, this willingness is kind of makes her demise
especially grim. With that, we are now in the āMore Than
The Fallā territory. These villains all perished by falling, but
had something else going on that made it all the more painful. Okay, Scroop from Treasure Planet gives us
a little twist on the falling to oneās death trope. After trying to send Jim skywards by use of
gravity on the ship, getting caught up in the shipās rope would cause him to be the
one sent skywards. Thatās right; itās another falling death,
but this time, theyāre going upwards instead of downwards. And itās not just falling onto a surface. He gets launched into space, where he will
have to deal with the very painful death of running out of oxygen. He may not have to deal with the impact, but
a worse pain is definitely there for him. With his lungs being destroyed by space, he
wonāt be saying hi to Arrow anytime soon. First up, we
have Mother Gothel. What kind of death would be befitting for
someone who wanted eternal youth? Well, how about age catching up to her? Thanks to Flynn cutting off Rapunzelās hair
to free her from being stuck with Gothel at the cost of his own life, thatās exactly
what happened. Without Rapunzelās magic hair to keep her
young and youthful, she ends up quickly aging and becoming old. In anguish, and thanks to Parcel tripping
her, she ends up falling out of a window. However, unlike other villains, she doesnāt
make it to the ground. Instead, she just vanishes into dust before
her body hits the Earth... Aging so fast that her body became dust. Thatās right, Flynn Rider managed to turn
someone to dust before Thanos made it cool. Next up we have the evil sorceress Maleficent. Not including the controversial live action
films, Maleficent is definitely evil through and through, and at the end of the film, definitely
dead. Turning into a dragon by using all the powers
of Hell to fight off Prince Phillip, she ends up chasing after him to a cliff side, and
just as she was about to finish him off, gets her heart stabbed by the prince throwing his
sword at it. Even this doesnāt deter her however, as
while falling, tries to eat the prince, only for him to call upon the noble art of simply
dodging to get out of the way and letting her fall to her death, right into the very
same flames she created, as her form disappears into a puff of smoke. All that is left of her now is just her cloak
with the sword stabbing through it. A classic end for a classic villain. We have the original Disney villain death
next, thanks to The Evil Queen. Itās a tale as old as time, for a death
as old as time. The Evil Queen transforms herself into an
old hag to trick Snow White into taking a bite out of the poison apple, only to flee
once the dwarves come to murder her. During her escape, she spots a giant boulder
on the edge of a cliff and tries to unlodge it to crush the dwarves, only for a bolt of
lightning to strike her instead and cause her to fall to her doom. Standard Disney villain death affair so far,
but then the boulder rolls backwards and falls onto her body instead. If she wasnāt dead before, well she is now. If that didnāt take, then her body being
eaten by the vultures certainly didā¦ Which is what got her death some extra morbid
points. If this was a list of ironic deaths, or frankly,
awesome death scenesā¦ Our winner would have to be Judge Claude Frollo. But weāre ranking based on gruesome points. As the self appointed judge, jury, and executioner
of all things involving the religious world, he takes great pride in boosting his own morality
over others. Even when heās about to kill Esmeralda as
she is trying to save Quasimodo, he boasts about how God is going to see them as guilty
of sin and corruption. Well, it looks like God heard that, and decided
to let Satan take charge of his fate, and Satan decided to take Frolloās words of
āand he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pitā to heart. The gargoyle Frollo was standing on broke
as he uttered those words. Dropping a terrified Frollo along with himself
into the fiery pits below. A nice combination of falling and burning
to death. Onto the living pipe organ, Maestro Forte. Given that he is, well you know, stuck upright
by chains, it looks like he is pretty safe from falling to death. But, no, not at all. After getting tipped off from Fife that in
order to stop Forte you need to destroy the keyboard, the Beast channels the rage of every
gamer losing a match of Fortnite and smashes the keyboard, ripping it off the pipe organ. Keep in mind that Forte is that pipe organ,
and if he was a human, this would be the equivalent of the beast tearing at his stomach. Angry that his friend, at least a friend in
his eyes, would betray him, Forte manages to free himself from the wall, no longer being
stuck there. However, this leads to him just falling to
his death instead, toppling over and dropping onto the floor, messing up more of his parts
and permanently getting destroyed. Our next villain to fall is Morgana from the
Little Mermaid 2. Now, given how Ursulaās crazy sister is
stuck out in the sea for most of her time, trying to fall in the ocean is definitely
harder than normal. But, is there any way to do it? Well, yes, and in Morganaās case, she experiences
one of these deaths. With Triton angry at her, he decides to cast
her off into the depths of the sea by use of a small iceberg, trapping her in ice and
letting it sink to the bottom of the ocean. People have tried to preserve their bodies
in ice to hopefully revive themselves in the future. Needless to say, the bottom of the ocean isnāt
one of these places. With her last thoughts being that she failed
to impress her mother, she definitely isnāt long for this world. Tritonās claim of her not being able to
harm his family again looks pretty sound to me. Now, before we move into the next section,
full disclosure, there is one more falling death that we havenāt listed yetā¦ Strictly because we felt that itās one of
the most gruesome deaths there is. But weāll get to that last one laterā¦ That said, finally, we have the most cruel
ways of dying. These are demises that make the sweet instant
release of death that comes from the impact of falling off a building seem desirable. Weāre now at the Cruel Deaths. Our first entry here is Shan Yu. Now, the writers were deliberately trying
to avoid yet another death by the villain just simply falling, so, what was their solution? One of the most pretty deaths someone could
go out with. Fireworks. Launching a rocket at him, Shan Yu is taken
for a short ride before he and the rocket crashes into the tower filled with fireworks. You do the math about what happens next. If your answer was āexplodes and puts on
a brief light show for everyoneā, well you would be right. Still a pretty quick death, but a lot more
fiery. Not to sike you out, but up next is the villain
from Oliver and Company, Sykes. Now, despite being only human, he still looks
extremely imposing and threatening, but not even a powerful looking human like him can
match a speeding train. Being too distracted by fighting the animals
in his car, he doesnāt notice all the warning signs of an oncoming train. When he finally sees the speeding train coming
at him, heās too late to change course, and all he could do was scream as he collided
head on with the train. His car and himself were set ablaze as he
was knocked off into the river, or at least what was left of him. Despite just how painful it looked, it was
also incredibly short, meaning that his pain, being painful and very noticeable, was still
cut short and he was at least granted a quick death. Jafarās death is next. He may have escaped death from his first outing,
but here, he isnāt so lucky. While he was trapped in a genie lamp as a
genie in the first film, in the sequel, he gets out and is ready to start his rampage
and revenge against those that triumphed over him. However, it would be his closest ally, Iago,
that he had to worry about. After boasting how his lamp will never get
destroyed, Iago comes in to save the day by kicking the lamp off and into a lava pit. This is enough to destroy Jafar, as he ends
up not only getting electrocuted, but also exploding into a cloud of dust. While it definitely looks painful, he himself
was never attacked during the fight, as the lamp being destroyed was the only way he truly
could have died.But also it could have been worse, hence why we canāt rank it any higher. Now, weāre looking at how King Candy, aka
Turbo, got himself a game over. Being in another game means that respawning
after death just isn't possible. Very much aware of this, he tries to take
over and destroy the world of Sugar Rush by using the cy-bugs that escaped from Heroās
Duty, after being turned into a bug himself. Ralph however, willing to sacrifice himself,
creates a giant beacon of light from a mentos soda volcano to draw all the bugs toward it. The problem for Turbo is that he is part of
that group, now being part cy-bug, his King Candy side wants to fly into the light as
Turbo wishes to escape. As his King Candy side triumphs, he alternates
between being in awe at the light and just crying out in pain, realizing his inevitable
fate. Knowing that youāre going to die and that
thereās nothing you can do to stop it is definitely a horrific prospect. The death was instant, so not all that painful,
butā¦ the psychological pain however, was through the roof. If Morganaās death looks tame, then donāt
worry, Ursula is here to show everyone what a proper death is. Despite having Tritonās trident, she is
still very much vulnerable, as Prince Eric realizes. Taking control of the ship, he managed to
make his way through a whirlpool, ramming the bow of the ship straight through her stomach,
drawing blood. That would hurt anyone, but it gets even worse
when she gets zapped by lightning by the shipās broken bow... And considering that she is submerged in water,
thatās probably pretty painful. To further rub the defeat of her in, her death
meant that all her malicious magic was undone, freeing everyone that she had under her magic. A dramatic death that shows that the bigger
you are, the harder you fall. Our next entry belongs to the lion, Scar. Fun fact; the way that Scar dies was originally
planned for Gaston, but was cut for being too graphic and gruesome. Seeing it played out all the way like this,
we can see why. After losing to Simba in the fight for Pride
Rock, and failing to backstab Simba by clawing him to death, he gets tossed off and falls
to the ground from the top of the rock, but does not die. Already a painful experience, but add in everything
being on fire, and it gets even worse. However, even this isnāt where he dies. His true death is at the hands of the hyenas,
the very same ones that he used as an army. Here however, after hearing Scar trying to
pass the blame for Mufasaās death onto them, they decide to return the favor. By that, we mean ganging up on him and ripping
and biting into him. We get to see the slaughter through a shadow
on the rock, and it looks just as disturbing as it sounds. With his former allies finishing the deed,
seemingly not even minding the fact they will be burned down as well, his grisly way of
death definitely warrants him a spot this high. For a true nightmare of a death, we head off
to Halloweentown to see how Oogie Boogie is done in. If this guy bugs you, well thatās because
it is literally made out of bugs. He just hides it well by wearing a sack to
cover them all. He takes great joy in gambling with other
peopleās lives, sure, but what happens when he loses his own? Well, itās simple really. Thanks to Jack Skellington unraveling him,
he ends up losing his sackā¦ Which isnāt what it sounds likeā¦ And all the bugs he had inside him start to
drop away from him and fall out, dripping into a pool of lava. However, while one bug does survive, Santa
Claus takes care of that by stomping on the final bug. Sure he looks gross, but this could be taken
in two ways. One is that Jack just tore off his skin and
what is basically is blood is gradually dripping away from him as he perishes, and the second
one is that each bug is just one of his many conscious thoughts, meaning that he dies each
time a bug is killed. What is worse for you is up to you to decide. What matters here is that both ways are pretty
gruesome and disturbing, earning him a spot this high. For our top five, we got our last sequel villain's
death, Saāluk. While it did look like he literally fell for
the most classic villain death in a Disney movie, he comes back and manages to one-up
himself. After forcing Cassim, his former partner in
thievery, to take him to the hand of Midas, he ends up greedily demanding it. When Cassim throws it to him by the handle,
he catches it by the hand itself; a big mistake. The hand uses its powers to turn him into
gold, before toppling over and falling into the sea. Sure, he may have fallen like he did before,
but being turned to gold and realizing his fate definitely has to count for some sort
of pain. Saāluk ends up here due to the psychological
horror of becoming gold and physical pain such a transition requires. He may not have gotten the gold here in terms
of the most painful death, but he did turn into gold. That counts for something, right? Entering our Top 5, we have Lyle Tiberius
Rourke of Atlantis fame. A movie that is just as forgotten by Disney
as the city it is based on. But we canāt forget just how disturbing
of a death Rourke goes out on. With his sanity deteriorating through the
climax, Rourke decides to end Milo by use of a fire ax, breaking the Heart Of Atlantis. With the crystal fragments all around him,
Milo decides to take a piece and cut through Rourke. While he didnāt kill him, he did something
worse; turning Rourke's body into crystal instead. Even during his last ditch effort to kill
Milo, he ends up getting shattered by the blades of the blimp, cutting him to pieces. What puts him above Saāluk is that while
he was turned to gold and pretty much died after the transformation, Rourke was still
in control enough to try and force Milo to join him in the great beyond. He could have just died after being turned
to crystal, but going the extra mile like this earns him a few more brutal points, putting
him just outside our final competitors. Our fourth most gruesome death belongs to
the Horned King. Now, we arenāt going to sugarcoat it, he
was already a pretty disturbing and disgusting villain, so, just how can be even more gross? How about if we see his flesh get ripped from
his body as he is just left with his skeleton before exploding? Sounds violent, right? Thatās what happens to him. After being pushed into the titular Black
Cauldronās pull by Taran, he ends up trying to escape, physically struggling and trying
to avoid his upcoming fate. However, by being forced to grab a hold on
it, he ends up succumbing to it, his skin being pulled off his form as he is just left
with his skeletal form. If that wasnāt enough, said skeleton explodes
thanks to the cauldron. You may be noticing another pattern with these
Disney villain deaths that donāt involve falling to your doom. And just in case he somehow survives, the
castle falling over and onto him would do the trick. Just goes to show you that you can always
look and die in worse ways than you may think. Okay, Iād argue this next one is one of
the darkest Disney deaths of all timeā¦ and that is the death of Clayton. And yes, this was the one falling death we
decided to include outside of those initial falling sections. As a threat to Tarzan, itās the standard
affair of man VS nature, with him being man in this case, and losing as well. On his rage to kill Tarzan, he finds Tarzan
fleeing through some vines, while Clayton ends up getting stuck in. Now, he is already stuck above a giant gap
between him and the ground, which is his clue to tell him that maybe he should stop. However, he keeps on going, slashing at the
vines to try to free himself, despite Tarzan warning him to stop and even trying to reach
out to save him. With the final vine holding him up falling,
he falls as well. However, he doesnāt quite make it to the
ground. The only other vine around Clayton wraps around
his neck, and before he could reach the ground, snags him and causes Clayton to accidentally
hang himself. You can even see his shadow during the lightning
strike if you keep a keen eye out. This one, we decided to rank with the bronze
because it is just an incredibly grim demise. Even with Tarzan attempting to help in his
final moment, Claytonās anger is what does him in and weāre left with arguably the
most morbid shot in Disney history. The bloodied silver medal goes to the witch
doctor, Dr. Falicier. There isnāt any other way of saying this;
this man flat out gets dragged to Hell, or in this case, the other side. Thanks to Tiana using her frog tongue to snatch
the talisman, the source of his powers, and breaking it. Without his powers anymore, his friends from
the other side descend upon him and open up a portal to their world, dragging him through
it, alongside his equally startled and scared. The last we see of him is him begging and
pleading for them to let him go, to no effect. It may look like heās alive, but considering
how the portal changed to that of his screaming face, heās not only confirmed to be dead,
but with him being scared of his āfriends on the other sideā, heās definitely not
having a good time. If heās still alive, heāll be at least
wishing for death. At the very top of the chart here, we have
the ruler of the underworld, Hades. Now, we will admit that we are bending the
rules here a bit, as Hades doesnāt really die, being a god and all that. However, that just makes it even more disturbing
in our eyes. For these other villains, they do eventually
get an end to their suffering, with the possible exception of our last entry, Dr. Falicier. Hades doesnāt get such a luxury. After being knocked into the River Styx by
Hercules, he ends up getting sucked down into the river for all eternity, with nothing but
the voices surrounding him from the souls of the river. With all of this while being dragged deeper
and deeper down into the depths of the river, it looks like he isnāt leaving anytime soon. Panic and Pain even seem to think that Hades
isnāt coming back anytime soon. Itās ironic really; the most disturbing
Disney villain death is the one where they fall to their own doom. What was once just nothing more than a silly
joke is now the most violent way to die, or in this case, never die, or escape from. With that, now this video is at its end. Did we miss a death or two, or is there another
death you think is worse than the one we choose for any film? Donāt forget to hit that notification bell

in your favorite cartoons, shows and movies. But most importantly, stay wicked.
