The 7 Most Terrifying Disney Movie Deaths

#3.
Gaston, from Beauty and the Beast
Gaston is the last thing you would expect to come out of France. He's a big, strong hunter that get's all the babes in Belle's town. He brags a lot and shows off his ultra-manly chest hair almost as often. He's like the leader of the whole town just because he's such a stud. He's also mildly retarded.
He ignores the gorgeous blondes that come after him all the time, instead going after a brunette that has no interest in him whatsoever. This is likely because Belle represents the modern independent woman, who shuns egotistical jerks like Gaston and greatly favors smart guys, at least in cartoons.
How He Died: Gaston, most likely jealous of Beast's chest hair, leads an angry mob (torches and pitchforks included) to storm the castle where he lives. Because the castle is full of moving, talking furniture, hilarity ensues. After an epic confrontation with Beast, Gaston is left dangling over a precipice. Beast pulls a Simba and spares his life, leading to an understanding and peaceful reconciliation between the two.
No, we're just kidding. Beast is promptly stabbed in the back, proving that, if you have your adversary at your mercy, for God's sake, finish him off. Gaston is then knocked off the tower, and is impaled on a cluster of spikes that seem to exist for no reason other than for plummeting villains to land on.
Given the baffling number of enchanted objects that exist in the castle, these spikes were probably anthropomorphic balladeers, singing a cheery tune as Gaston was (ironically, mind you) shanked in the back by them. We can't help but wonder if a sunny day's walk in the garden after Belle's and the Prince's (formerly Beast) honeymoon wasn't suddenly interrupted by the sight of Gaston's mangled corpse, left there as a warning to all who would cross them. #2.
Syndrome, from The Incredibles
In the old days, when Mr. Incredible fought crime daily on the streets, he met a little inventor kid who wanted to be his sidekick. Mr. Incredible turns him down, and the boy gets pissed. After years and years of angsty plotting, he finally lures Mr. Incredible to his island to kill him and launch his master plan to... become a superhero. Okay, then! How He Died:
Syndrome, after being defeated by a slew of superheroes in the city, escapes to steal Mr. and Mrs. Incredible's baby son. He succeeds and flies into the air, laughing maniacally. The baby, Jack-Jack, then changes into some sort of demon and starts beating the crap out of Syndrome. Syndrome drops the baby, and Mrs. Incredible catches him, leaving Syndrome without hostage. Mr. Incredible throws a car at Syndrome, and it hits his escape plane, knocking Syndrome into the engine of the jet. The jet turbines suck him up, the razor-sharp blades dicing him into dozens of tiny pieces, turning his body into salsa from the feet up.
Mercifully, the plane explodes, ending his agony with a quick fiery death. Who's the superhero now, kid! Not you! Because you're a charred and mutilated corpse! #1.
Frollo, from The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Frollo is the bigwig of the Church in Paris. He has a thing for Esmeralda, but also wants her to burn in Hell for being so ridiculously hot, as evidenced in the best melodramatic song in any Disney movie ever. He also killed Quasimodo's mother and got Quazi to live in the Cathedral, never leaving his entire life.
How He Died: Frollo finally just gets sick of Quasimodo, and wants to kill him along with Esmeralda. Quasi grabs his hand just before Frollo can stab him, and completely overpowers the old man. Quasimodo grabs Esmeralda and runs outside to the Cathedral roof, conveniently setting the scene for a dramatic final battle.
Everyone somehow ends up hanging over a ledge, with Esmeralda holding Quasi and Frollo and flames raging below. Quasimodo fails to let go of Frollo and kill him, so once more the hero is punished for that decision.
Frollo swings over to another ledge and draws his sword again. As he prepares to decapitate Esmeralda, he quotes: "...And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!"
...after which the gargoyle he is standing on (it's implied that the gargoyle is sentient, or an angel or something) breaks and sends Frollo plunging down.
Not just any death. Frollo plunges into a lake of fire clearly meant to symbolize Hell, where his flesh will be burned continually for eternity. Proving once again there is no god more cruel and vengeful than Disney. To see other lessons Uncle Walt wants to share with your kids, check out The 9 Most Racist Disney Characters.

McCleach. Eaten by crocodiles after being knockeed off a cliff and, if i remember right, savaged by an eagle...
You know I thought Ursula's was the most gruesome death Disney handed down, at least on this list. Frollo seemed more fitting than gruesome: the entire movie focused on him trying to send his enemies to Hell but instead the fate befalls him. Also the most terrifying Disney death is Davy Jones from the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movie: he impaled somebody, got the crap beaten out of him by his coral-covered father and then got his heart stabbed. Remember, it's still Disney.
Also I totally agree with that Gaston thing: if you do have your arch-enemy at death point just kill them. They're always going to try to get rid of you anyway, just kill them!
horny bastard frollo
I have a few terrifying deaths that are often overlooked.
Jafar from Aladdin, specifically the second movie. After being tormented to electric shocks which show his skeleton, he basically explodes, but more on a cellular level. At least that's how I saw it.
Also, from the third movie, that guy with the claws(can't remember his name; shame, since he was pretty kickass). His body was petrified into gold.
The Horned King from The Black Cauldron(very underrated movie btw). He had his entire freaking skin removed, right down to the bone, before being sucked into the Black Cauldron.
Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. After Jack took Boogie's sheet off, causing his "guts" to fall apart, his "brain" was crushed by Santa.
Yeah, I used to love Disney movies. But, nobody makes 2D animation anymore. Or at least not well. I kinda miss The Lion King. Although the Little Mermaid is not missed at all. Cool article, if a bit weird.
Also The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the only Disney movie I'm actually embarrassed to watch with my parents. I always remember it got a "contains sexual scenes" stamp in my local TV magazine.
I don't care what 99% of the posts below say but I f*****g love Disney. Actually I watched Mulan just this evening - it has a fist-pumping testosterone-dripping training montage to rival Rocky or Team America or something. The traditional 2D animation makes me totally nostalgic, it's filled with so much more character than anything Pixar of High School f*****g Musical has done.
On the subject of traumatising events, I always thought the demise of Hades (can't really called it a death since he's a God, and therefore as Hercules teaches us, immortal) was the creepiest - dragged down into the depths of a murky green river by the glowing corpses of the dead.
"the best melodramatic song in any Disney movie ever"
Amen brother, Amen.
i think ur taking the deaths a little too seriously. death is gruesome sometimes, but they don't show the kids. and most kids wouldn't think about the remains of the body afterwards anyway
True, I'd forgotten that. But they never got far into China, and at the time of Attila they were centralized in Europe, near Hungary.
Well, RileyHart, since you apparently know so f*****g much about the Huns you should know they come from Central Asia. They later moved to the Europe.
Pretty funny T.C, stating a historical fact, and then making another based on a cartoon.
@ jasonvorhees
what a Dbag. grade A Dbag.
get a f****n life.
scar looks darker than the rest of the lions
'"What is this, some kind of sandwich with words on it?"'
I laughed so hard.
Actually, Shan-Yu was a Hun. From Hungary. Most likely modeled after Attila. Who never f*****g reached China. The closest he got was touching India. Besides being bloodthirsty and racist, Disney doesn't understand history, either. This probably helped with the racism (i.e, Anonymous employee: "Why do we hate the blacks again?" Walt: "You know the death of Jesus? Yeah, they were behind that. And all wars ever.")
Also, Phoebus never raped Esmerelda. He did continually try to seduce her, even though he was engaged (not married with kids). Frollo was a priest and did try to rape her twice (never succeeded). Esmerelda didn't actually seduce anyone either; she was extremely naive and virginal. Also, she technically wasn't a Gypsy. She was kidnapped by Gypsies as a baby and raised by them.
PalinIsNotaMILF, "Hellfire" does appear on the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" soundtrack. I own it.
"Disney is wrong. In the movies they say that evil never wins. In real life its the exact opposite - the good die young and the pricks live forever. Jesus, Ghandi, Malcolm X, JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, and so on."
Gandhi was NOT that young. And if you watch South Park he was clearly in hell.

No, McLeach was such a badass that he fought off the crocs. He died because the river he landed in had a tide that ultimately washed him off a waterfall.
