Narrator: The only thing more satisfying than seeing a hero rise is seeing a villain fall.
(Ratigan screaming)
Welcome to WatchMojo.com
and today, we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Satisfying Villain Deaths in Disney Movies.
- Tarzan: Clayton, don't!!! - (Clayton grunting) AHH!
- Tarzan: Ugh! - (Clayton screaming)
Narrator: For this list, we're taking a look at the most despicable baddies
from movies produced by Disney and Pixar who all got what they had coming to them.
Also, a Spoiler Alert is most definitely in order.
Frollo: And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!
Syndrome: Turns out there are a lot of people, whole countries who want respect
and they will pay through the nose to get it.
Narrator: Some people take rejection with dignity and move on. Others just can't let go of their grudges.
Despite not having any superpowers,
young Buddy Pine dreams of becoming Mr. Incredible's sidekick.
- Buddy: I can fly! Can you fly? - Mr. Incredible: Fly home, Buddy.
Narrator: After getting turned down by his hero,
he decides to take the supervillain route, and becomes Syndrome.
With an arsenal of destructive toys at his disposal,
this megalomaniac aspires to crush his enemy.
Syndrome goes too far though, when he targets Mr. Incredible's family.
Syndrome: Oh, don't worry. I'll be a good mentor: supportive, encouraging... Everything you *weren't*.
Narrator: As brilliant as Syndrome is, he's essentially a bratty child trapped in a grown man's body.
Syndrome: I knew you couldn't do it. Even when you have nothing to lose!
You're weak!
Narrator: It's only appropriate that he's destroyed by his massive ego, as well as his poor fashion sense.
(Syndrome panting)
AHHH!!!
(explosion)
Sykes: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...
Narrator: Big, bad, and ruthless, Sykes views himself as untouchable.
So, it's kind of ironic that a petty thief, a little girl and a bunch of cute animals cause his downfall.
(train approaching)
(Sykes screaming, crash)
In the climax of "Oliver & Company", Sykes sets out to turn our heroes into roadkill.
Sykes: But the party is over. (Honk, honk)
Narrator: Behind the wheel of his dominating Cadillac,
this loathsome loan shark seems like an indestructible force.
Sykes takes the highway to hell though, when he drives his car onto a third rail.
Confronted by a towering train, Sykes meets his demise on a bridge.
It's far from the first time a gangster's body has ended up at the bottom of the Hudson River,
but it's not like he didn't have it coming.
Facilier: This is just a... minor setback in a major operation. (shrieks)
Narrator: Disney villains have a tendency to destroy themselves with the very power they seek.
The Shadow Man is a prime example.
As cool as they come, this witch doctor has complete confidence in his master plan.
Facilier: You and I both know the real power in this world ain't magic.
It's MONEY!! Buckets of it!
Narrator: He puts a little too much faith in dark magic however, which results in his doom.
Unable to pay his debt after his voodoo charm breaks,
Dr. Facilier finds himself at the mercy of his friends on the other side.
With no more tricks up his sleeve,
he's dragged out the shadows and down into the underworld.
Facilier: I promise I'll bring y'all back!! I PROMISE!!!! (screams)
Narrator: The petrified face on Facilier's gravestone only makes his death more satisfying.
- Facilier: No! I'm not ready at all! In fact, I've got lots of more plans! - Spirits: ♫Are you reeeeady?♫
Mother Gothel: Now, wash up for dinner. I'm making hazelnut soup!
Narrator: Every person is eventually reduced to a pile of ashes.
Mother Gothel learns this the hard way.
Kidnapping our long-haired heroine as a baby,
this villain manipulates Rapunzel into believing that she's a caring nurturing mother figure.
Mother Gothel: Rapunzel, let down your hair!
Narrator: Deep down in her shriveled-up heart,
it's possible that Mother Gothel has some affection for the young lady she calls her daughter.
When push comes to shove however, all she cares about
is using Rapunzel's magical hair to preserve her own youth and beauty.
Mother Gothel: We are going where no one will ever find you again!
Narrator: When Rapunzel's golden locks are chopped off, Mother Gothel's age finally starts to catch up with her.
Mother Gothel: What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!
Narrator: Unable to look at her decaying face in the mirror,
she tumbles out of the window and reaches her inevitable expiration.
Mother Gothel: Ah, AHH!
(screaming)
Maleficent: This is a pleasant surprise...
Narrator: Maleficent walks a fine line between being a villain we love to hate and a villain we hate to love.
Maleficent: (cackles) Away with him!
Narrator: Either way, she's definitely one of Disney's most dastardly villains
placing a deathly curse on an infant princess.
Maleficent: Well, here's your precious princess!
Narrator: And to think, Maleficent only did that because she wasn't invited to a party.
She breaks out the big guns in the film's climax, taking on the form of a fire-breathing dragon.
Maleficent: Now, shall you deal with ME, O Prince
and all the powers of HELL!!!!
Narrator: While Maleficent throws everything she has at our heroes,
Prince Phillip ultimately drives his sword through her dark heart.
Good may triumph over the mistress of all evil,
but at least Maleficent went out on a high note.
(crashing)
Queen: Bring back her heart!
Narrator: It's impossible not to fall in love with Snow White.
Snow White: Hello there. What's the matter?
Where's your mama and papa?
Narrator: You'd have to be completely heartless to harm such a kind pure soul.
That's exactly why we despise the Evil Queen so much.
Queen: A formula to transform my beauty into ugliness.
Narrator: When her huntsman can't get the job done,
the jealous queen uses her dark magic to transform herself into a hag
and "kills" the innocent princess with a poisoned apple.
Queen: And now, a special sort of death... for one so fair.
Narrator: The wicked queen comes close to crushing the seven dwarfs with a boulder as well.
- (cackling) - Fortunately, a bolt of lightning intervenes
and gives Queen Grimhilde as the witch her comeuppance.
After which, vultures make sure there's nothing left of the queen's body.
Meanwhile, the dwarfs preserve Snow White's body
so she may be awakened by true love's kiss.
Ursula: Now, sing!
Narrator: Ursula is a villain of many different faces.
She can be quiet and subtle using her magic to steal Ariel's voice and Prince Eric's heart.
This sea witch can also be booming and bombastic.
Particularly, when she gets her hands on King Triton's all-powerful trident.
- Ariel: You monster!! - Ursula: Don't fool with me, you little brat!!!
Narrator: Growing to a monstrous size, Ursula nearly sends the little mermaid to a watery grave.
Ursula: The sea and all its spoils, BOW TO MY POWER!!!!
Narrator: Prince Eric storms in at just the right time though, and impales her with a ship.
This scene gave us all nightmares as children,
but we can all take comfort in knowing that Ursula is now sleeping with the fishes.
- Scar: I see. - Narrator: Scar is a royal S.O.B.
In order to claim the Pride Lands, this devious lion murders his older brother.
Scar: Long live the king.
Narrator: As if that's not appalling enough, Scar also plots to kill his nephew, who's only a cub.
Slipping through his uncle's claws, Simba runs away into exile.
Some time later, he returns to show Scar who the true king is.
- Simba: Step down, Scar. - Scar: (nervous laughs) Oh, I would, naturally.
However, there is one little problem.
You see them? (hyenas growling)
Narrator: Despite his unforgivable deeds, Scar is given a chance to run away and never return.
The dethroned villain refuses to accept defeat though, and an epic cat fight ensues.
Scar: As you wish,
- Scar: (snarls) your Majesty! - Simba: AAAH!
Narrator: This proves to be Scar's undoing, as he's sent to the bottom of Pride Rock
where his hungry minions greet him. It's the circle of death.
Scar: No! You don't understand! No, I didn't mean - NO! NO! NO, AH-
Gaston: You know Belle, there's not a girl in town who would love to be in your shoes.
Narrator: Gaston actually starts off as one of the more likable Disney villains.
Granted, he is rude, insensitive, and full of himself.
Gaston: ♫And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs So I'm roughly the size of a barge!♫
Narrator: While we can see why Belle ISN'T attracted to him, there is a certain charm to his pompous nature.
Throughout "Beauty and the Beast" however, Gaston goes from being a selfish jerk
to a sadistic monster that will do anything to get what he wants.
Gaston: I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if...
- Belle: If what? - Gaston: If you marry me.
Narrator: In the midst of a heated battle for Belle's hand,
the Beast takes pity on the whimpering Gaston and lets him leave peacefully.
Gaston's hunter instinct kicks in though, and he stabs his prey in the back.
As he's beyond the point of redemption, it's hard to feel bad for Gaston
when he ultimately plummets to his death after losing his footing.
(Gaston screaming)
Narrator: Before we get to our top pick, here are some Honorable Mentions.
- Milo: AHH!! - (Rourke growling)
(metal creaking)
(Rourke shrieks, crash)
(bell ringing)
(bell strikes)
Ratigan: Arrrggghhh!!!!
Hopper: Oh, no! Oh NO!!!
Oh! Oh, no! NO, NO, NO!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Oogie: My bugs! My bugs! (high-pitched) My bugs! My bugs!
(Shan Yu gasps, screams)
Mulan: Get off the roof! Get off the roof!! Get off the roof!!!
(Shan Yu screams)
(explosion)
Frollo: I was just imagining a rope around that beautiful neck.
Narrator: Frollo just might be the biggest sinner the Mouse House has ever given us.
This cruel justice minister murders an innocent mother,
attempts to drown her deformed child,
burns down people's homes,
and lusts after a gypsy he plans to either kill or make his own.
Frollo: ♫Destroy Esmeralda And let her taste the fires of Hell!♫
Narrator: Although he's broken every Commandment in the Good Book,
Frollo is still convinced that all of his heinous actions are justified.
Frollo: Gypsies are not capable of real love! Think, boy! Think of your mother!
Narrator: Before he can do away with Quasimodo, Frollo loses his balance atop Notre Dame
and comes face to face with a devilish site.
As the flames of Hell rage below, he is sent to meet his maker.
(Frollo screaming)
We'd say "May the Lord have mercy on his soul",
but Frollo has no soul to save.
- Quasimodo: (whispers bitterly) You killed her! - Frollo: It was my duty.
Narrator: Do you agree with our list? What do you think is the most satisfying Disney villain death?
(both growling)
