Magic mirror on the wall, who will get the harshest sentence of them all? That’s right,
we’re going to the beginning of the Disney Animated Canon with The Golden
Age! If you think about it, Disney didn’t pull any punches with their
villains early on. Quite a few of their early villains are truly dark and depraved,
going to lengths that some modern Disney villains wouldn’t dare go. But which of
these baddies are getting off easy, and which ones are gonna end up in the slammer, or worse?
I’m Caleb with WickedBinge and this is Sentencing Disney Villains For Their Crimes.
Naturally, we’re starting off with the one that started it all, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs!
The first baddy on the docket is The Magic Mirror. The mirror’s only purpose in the film is to tell
The Evil Queen that Snow White is the most beautiful in the kingdom and it later tells
her that she’s in the dwarfs’ cottage. This is nothing less than aiding and abetting. However,
we’re sentencing it to “death” because come on, it’s a mirror. There’s no use giving it jail time,
fines, or community service so the only reasonable thing to do is to smash it to pieces!
CRIME: Aiding And Abetting SENTENCE: “Death Sentence”
Up next is The Huntsman. He is ordered by The Evil Queen to kill Snow White and give
her her heart as proof. This immediately gives him an aiding and abetting charge.
He also commits attempted murder by almost stabbing Snow to death. We’re also giving
him a charge of providing false evidence when he gives The Queen a pig’s heart and
passes it off as Snow’s. He couldn’t bring himself to kill Snow and let her escape,
so this would let him off fairly easy, but he also almost murdered someone
who is both a child and royalty. Ultimately, we decided to give him 15 years in prison.
CRIMES: Aiding And Abetting, Attempted Murder,
Providing False Evidence SENTENCE: 15 Years In Prison
And on to the film’s main villain, The Evil Queen. Now we’re well aware she dies at the
end of the film, so we’ll pretend that she’s alive to stand trial. The Evil Queen’s first crime is
not long into the film when she alludes that The Huntsman will be sentenced to death if he doesn’t
kill Snow, leading to a death threats charge. She also uses witchcraft to transform herself into
an old woman and poison the apple, and has many other spells up her belt. And of course,
she is guilty of murder by poisoning Snow with the apple. This can also be attributed to terrorism,
since she tried to make political gains through violent means. Just like her fate in the film, we
decided to sentence her to death. In 19th Century Germany where the film takes place,
this would normally be carried out via guillotine or hand-held axe,
but considering she practiced witchcraft, we’d likely see her getting burned at the stake.
CRIMES: Death Threats,
Witchcraft, Murder, Terrorism SENTENCE: Death Sentence
Yes, this past year got us Pinocchio’d out too, but that’s not stopping us
from sentencing the villains from Disney’s 1940 version!
We start off this section with everyone’s favorite fox and cat duo, Honest John and Gideon. All
throughout the film we see them frequently assault each other, with Honest John usually on the
receiving end of Gideon’s hammer. A brief visual gag during their first interaction with Pinocchio
also shows Gideon attempting to pickpocket him. Even though Pinocchio is willing to go with them
to both Stromboli’s and Pleasure Island, we will charge them with kidnapping as Pinocchio is a
minor after all and cannot legally consent. Honest John is also guilty of impersonating a doctor
before Pinocchio is taken to Pleasure Island, as he most certainly doesn’t have a medical license.
Finally, all of their crimes are attributed to them aiding and abetting both Stromboli and The
Coachman - the former wanting a real wooden boy for his show and the latter wanting a boy
for Pleasure Island. For their crimes, and the fact that they are responsible for even worse
crimes that the other villains commit, Honest John and Gideon will both get life in prison.
CRIMES: Aiding And Abetting, Assault, Attempted Pickpocketing,
Impersonating A Doctor, Kidnapping SENTENCE: Life Sentence
Up next is the puppeteer and showman, Stromboli. Being the very definition of greedy,
he pays Pinocchio with a fake coin as payment for putting on a successful show. Not only is
using counterfeit money illegal, paying your customers with it is just as bad. He’s also
guilty of kidnapping by locking Pinocchio up in a cage as well as death threats when
he tells him he will make great firewood when he’s finished with him. With all that said,
we’re sentencing Stromboli to 25 years in prison.
CRIMES: Using Counterfeit Money,
Kidnapping, Death Threats SENTENCE: 25 Years In Prison
Now on to who is easily one of, if not the darkest villain we’ll be sentencing today, The
Coachman. Immediately, The Coachman is guilty of kidnapping, as he captures young boys and
brings them to Pleasure Island on his carriage. While there, he allows the boys to run amok
and cause trouble. Many boys could have easily gotten hurt while destroying all the property,
so he’ll be charged with a lot of counts of child endangerment too. He also recklessly allows the
boys to drink as much alcohol and smoke as many cigars as they want, adding on many other counts
of giving drugs and alcohol to minors. Finally, the elephant (or rather, donkey) in the room.
Over time the boys turn into donkeys, whom The Coachman whip and capture before they get sent
off to work in places like the salt mines and the circus, which is slavery and trafficking. We think
we can all agree that he is deserving of nothing less than the death penalty. With the film taking
place in 19th Century Italy, the execution would likely be carried out via guillotine.
CRIMES: Kidnapping, Child Endangerment, Giving Drugs And Alcohol To Minors,
Slavery And Trafficking SENTENCE: Death Sentence
For the last of the Pinocchio villains, we have Monstro. Gaining a reputation as the deadliest
whale, it sure shows. We see several sunken ships in the area where Monstro is sleeping,
so it is implied that he killed quite a number of sailors, and given all the fish that get
swallowed up by him, many of them probably got eaten, adding up the murder charges.
We’re also including kidnapping, as Geppetto, Figaro, and Cleo get stuck inside his body.
Lastly, after everyone escapes, Monstro violently chases them, almost killing them in the process,
adding an attempted murder charge. Because Monstro has a possible human body count,
he is a threat towards those that decide to go out at sea, so we’re going to sentence him to death
via harpoon. We know, it’s a sad and very gruesome way to go, but measures similar to this are often
taken in real life to particular wild animals that have a track record of killing people.
CRIMES: Kidnapping, Murder, Attempted Murder SENTENCE: Death Sentence
Now Fantasia is a very interesting case.
Our only villain here is Chernabog. It’s pretty tough to sentence a guy who’s, you know,
the literal devil, but we’ll treat him if he’s a real living person. His whole schtick is summoning
the dead along with hellfire, which we immediately recognize as being necromancy and arson. And only
a little while later he just nonchalantly throws a bunch of his demons into the fiery pit. If
that massive, evil grin doesn’t say premeditated murder, we don’t know what does. Because the scope
of Chernabog’s crimes are so massive, we’re sentencing him to death. Since he practices
necromancy, he would be put under the witch trials in 1800s Russia, and would be burned at the stake.
CRIMES: Necromancy, Arson, Murder SENTENCE: Death Sentence
Leaving Bald Mountain and to the circus, we have Dumbo!
The first characters we’ll be charging here are The Clowns. These guys perform an act where Dumbo
is a baby in a burning building and they play the parts of firefighters. They’ll first be
charged with aiding and abetting The Ringmaster (who we’ll get to in a bit) by leaving the small
house to burn with Dumbo at the top, which also adds one count of animal abuse. More counts will
be added as they splash Dumbo with buckets full of water. One of them even forces him off the
top of the building by hitting him on the butt with a block of wood, and finally has him fall
into a large tub. In the end, we’ll sentence The Clowns to ten years in prison each. This
may sound a tad bit too light, but trust us, their boss will get a much heavier sentence.
CRIMES: Aiding And Abetting, Animal Abuse SENTENCE: Ten Years In Prison Each
While not being a traditional villain, The Ringmaster is still pretty heinous in his own
right. Not long after his introduction, he whips Dumbo’s mother and forces her to be shackled up
and locked in a cage after she attacks a kid. With that said he likely doesn’t treat the rest of his
animals that well either, leading to many animal abuse charges. While the clowns are seen having
drinks, their dialogue suggests that their boss underpays them, which is yet another crime. With
all that said, The Ringmaster will be sentenced to a good 25 years in prison. His employees will
probably file a class-action lawsuit against him, so he’ll be paying them $5,000 each in damages.
CRIMES: Animal Abuse, Underpaying Employees
SENTENCE: 25 Years In Prison + Paying Employees $5,000 Each In Damages
To finish our sentencing we have to go deep into the woods. That’s right, Bambi is our final film!
Our second to last character for this video has a very brief appearance in the film who we bet you
didn’t even know had a name - Ronno. He is a rival deer that Bambi comes across and the two fight for
the affection of Faline. He commits one count of assault as he pushes Faline out of the way with
his antlers. He and Bambi then fight and we see Ronno make the first move as he throws his rival
onto the ground, adding another assault charge. The two lock horns and trade kicks and blows,
making this assault and battery. Because this is a natural thing male deer do to fight for mates,
we’re only gonna give Ronno one month in… deer jail? We’re not
sure what to call it. We’ll let the animals sort it out for themselves.
CRIMES: Assault, Assault and Battery SENTENCE: One Month In…Deer Jail?
And for our final villain, we’ve got the big one - and that is none other than “Man.” “Man”
is a hunter who’s the huge looming threat all throughout the film. We know killing animals
technically isn’t murder in legal terms, but we’re treating it as that here. He kills one
animal offscreen, Bambi’s mother, as well as a quail. His presence alone also disturbs the
peace. In the film’s climax, not only does he commit attempted murder by sending his dogs
after Bambi and shooting him, he also commits arson when he leaves his campfire unattended.
The entire forest almost burns down, and thankfully no animals died in the flames. Because
hunting is a normal sport people do, we won’t charge him for his body count,
but we won’t excuse the fact that he caused a forest fire. If it was intentional, his punishment
would be greater, but because it appeared to be indirect, “Man” will be given five years in jail.
CRIMES: Murder, Disturbing The Peace,
Attempted Murder, Arson SENTENCE: 5 Years In Jail
