This is a list of Disney films in which a villain dies by falling, with links to watch them on Amazon Instant Video. Note that to meet the criteria for true Disney Villain Death, (a) the landing can not be shown, only implied, and (b) it has to be a villain doing the falling (natch.) Also it has to kill them, which disqualifies a surprising number of films.
Ratigan, Fidget (a bat!): The Great Mouse Detective
Frollo: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Charles Muntz (and a few balloons): Up
Scroop (by falling upward!) Treasure Planet
Percival McLeach: The Rescuers Down Under
Shaw: National Treasure
The Queen (then crushed by a boulder): Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Gaston: Beauty and the Beast
Sher Khan: The Jungle Book (2016)
I’m not sure if the Lion King counts technically, but there are so many instances and near instances throughout the entire series that what the heck, here’s the trifecta. The Lion King (where Scar falls off of a cliff but survives until the hyenas begin gathering,) The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (where several villains meet their ends through gravitational forces,) and The Lion King 1 1/2 (which playfully retcons the events of the original film so that the hyenas are distracted and aren’t the ones to do Scar in. So I guess that counts.)
I first made this list in November 2012, the 26th to be specific, which I bring up because hey, today also happens to be the 26th, Jan 2017 so 50th months later to the day. There were originally movies that weren’t up on Amazon Instant, when I first made this list, but they’ve all disappeared, been added to Disney Movies Anywhere that is, so that I could link them. All except for one: still after all this time Sleeping Beauty is nowhere to be found, which is way super weird. But here’s the fanciest Blu Ray Combo pack I could find, which does include digital HD format?:
Maleficent (in dragon form): Sleeping Beauty, Diamond Edition
