McLeach - After falling into Crocodile Falls while trying to shoot the rope holding Cody (so he can fall into the river and be eaten by crocodiles), McLeach travels so far down the river that he ends up getting caught in the current, causing him to plummet over the waterfall to his death. However, while Basil manages to escape using the blimp piece, Ratigan plummets into the abyss below to his death. He catches onto and takes Basil and a piece of the blimp with him as he falls. When the bell rings upon the clock striking ten, the vibration knocks Ratigan off balance and off the hand. After crashing his blimp into Big Ben with Olivia and Basil in tow, Ratigan chases after them and engages in a fight with Basil, which takes place on the clock’s hands. Ratigan - With an almost fifty-year gap between their respective films, Ratigan is the first Disney villain since the evil queen to die by falling from a great height. The boulder tumbles down after her, crushing her body and ensuring her demise. As she tries to roll an enormous boulder down the mountain to crush them, a sudden bolt of lightning strikes the ledge of the cliff and destroys the portion holding the queen, causing her to fall hundreds of feet below to her death. As it rains heavily, they pursue the queen until she becomes trapped at a dead end cliff on a rocky mountain. After successfully poisoning Snow White with an apple, the dwarfs arrive home and see her. The Evil Queen - The first villain from the first Disney animated feature film, the evil queen is the one who started this trope when she falls off a cliff to her death. Thanks again, sis! I love you, and enjoy this new analysis! 😁😊❤️ Two fall-to-deaths occur for two Disney villains outside of WDAS, that being Queen Narissa from the live action/animation hybrid Enchanted, and Charles Muntz from the Pixar film Up.Īgain, my dear buddy and little soul sis came up with this title, and I see it as fitting since the Disney villains who die by falling from great heights perceive themselves as mighty people, with three of them being ruthless, cunning, murderous hunters/poachers, and the other five being cruel, ruthless, sadistic, murderous tyrants.

While there have been a number of main antagonists from the Disney animated canon who die, only six of them have fallen to their deaths.
