Top 20 Terrifying Deaths in Disney Movies

[@trinaq]

Mufasa's death still scars me, pun unintended. Simba's devastated reaction is what makes it a gut punch.

[@starfilmsracing]

Feel you bro

[@vetarlittorf1807]

I laughed at Mufasa's death. I was happy to see that tyrant go.

0:13 simba having to pretend like he didn’t just sing a musical number called “I just can’t wait to be king”💀

[@hallonsylt6225]

I guess he didn't realise that he'd only become a king after his father's death

[@crypticghost21]

I never saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit as a child, and I’m so happy for that, Mufasa’s and Scar’s deaths from The Lion King scarred me when I was nine, and Oogie Boogie’s death from The Nightmare Before Christmas scarred me when I was like 12 or 13. Judge doom was creepy enough before he died, his death along with the over sexualization of Jessica Rabbit are probably some very good reasons why my parents never let me watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit when I was younger.

[@summertime6785]

Can we really consider Dr. Facilier’s fate a “death?” Seems more like a fate worse than death.💀

[@KarlSturmgewher]

Officially in the mortal world, Facilier is dead. In the voodoo world, Dr. Facilier will wish for death, but there is nothing to kill him. The spark of thought will grow dimmer... and dimmer... and then silent...

[@Starwarsfanboy0928]

Well the scene ends with a tombstone with his face and name on it, so yes.

[@formerparks]

Yes

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

He's literally dragged to hell. That's a fate worse than death

[@Starwarsfanboy0928]

The fact that they show the shadow of his hanged body is just creepy.

[@ChibiYesi857a]

Same. As a kid, I didn't see his shadow until I was 12 years old. Like holy crap. 😱 the realization. Now as an adult, still gives me chills.

Mufasa’s death hurts a lot more with the passing of James Earl Jones. Also, if there’s anything the Princess and the Frog has taught us, it’s this: Don’t mess around with Vodou!

[@Dr.Facilier_209]

VOODOO*😊

[@JulieDiana1992]

I didn’t realize as a kid that Clayton in Tarzan was hung then I watched it as an adult and was like…. Oh damn!

Nope, he wasn't ready.

[@peternguyen7530]

In the honorable mentions segment, I never notice Sabor's bloody footprints next to the corpses of Tarzan's birth parents when I first saw the Tarzan movie. And for Mr. Whisker's impalement in Frankenweenie, at least it was quick, and doesn't have blood in stop motion animation. Thank god Sora from Kingdom Hearts never got to see some of these Disney Villain deaths, except maybe Ursula's impalement.

[@xenablossom4682]

I never noticed Tarzan's parents' bodies for years, just the bloody pawprints. I must've fooled myself into forgetting the bodies were there.

[@keirarees3179]

I didn’t even realise that was Tarzan’s parents bodies until watching this! How many times have I watched that film since childhood🤦🏻‍♀️.

[@bigrudd9346]

The death of the red shoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit imo, was another scary death

[@olvialee7221]

AH! I freaking knew it! For Tarzan being released in 1999, it makes sense that Clayton’s death starts a horror franchise; Final Destination

[@chelseacanales8763]

Clayton had it coming. He was cruel and evil for kidnapping and killing the gorillas.

[@laraduff4949]

Mr Arrow’s death was even more terrifying than Scroop’s because he didn’t deserve it

[@ThomasEhrlich-fc8nj]

Also, while it has never officially happened or been recorded, it's highly possible that it would be horrible to be sucked into a black hole due to the fact that not even light can escape one (or at least the event horizon).

[@nostalgiacat5160]

Mr. Arrow’s death was straight out of a horror movie.

[@ColtonRMagby]

For those who don't know, Judge Doom's real name is Baron Von Rotten. He was an actor who had an accident, and went insane as a result.

[@bleachedstar0334]

After all of these years watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit how did I never know this?

[@ColtonRMagby]

@bleachedstar0334 That information is in the book the film's based on, but not in the film.

[@bleachedstar0334]

@ColtonRMagby very interesting!!

Fun Fact: Scar’s death was based on Gaston’s ORIGINAL death.

[@MichaelOrd-k9w]

Speaking of original deaths, Scar's was when after Simba accepted his surrender, Scar sent him flying down Pride Rock, but Simba survived the fall like Scar did in the final cut. But Scar got too cocky and laughed psychotically without realizing he's being incinerated alive!!!

[@autumbreeze1129]

Wolves, I take it?

[@beccacroce7380]

[@beccacroce7380]

@@MichaelOrd-k9w That's sort of how the Lion Guard says Scar dies. Instead of hyenas, he falls into the fire.

[@MichaelOrd-k9w]

@beccacroce7380 Yeah, they probably erased the part where Scar got eaten by the hyenas bc it might have been too grim for a kids' show, but Scar's fire spirit died bc Kion and the lions of the past made it rain on top of Scar, thus extinguishing him.

[@rebjack2]

Mufasa's death was far worse than Scar's. Scar deserved everything he got. Mufasa didn't. And watching Simba's gut-wrenching reaction gets me every time! This should have been number one.

[@jennifer_m.8613]

What always baffles mw is that Charles Muntz is still alive. If Carl was maybe 8 when Muntz was in his early 20s, he'd be over 100. ??!!

[@JacobCarpenter-u6v]

The only deaths on this list that left me horrified was the baby oysters'. I always cried for them, as they did not deserve their shared fate. It made me feel more numb towards "Alice in Wonderland" than I already was, and still am. On a side note, the Evil Queen's name was/is Grimhilde. She gets/got what was coming to her, and as Prince Florian was/is my favourite Disney character, I am most satisfied with her demise above all others' in the company's films.

[@lancesmithmusicman]

Mufasas death is so sad he didn't deserve that

Final Destination style, BEFORE the actual 2000 suspense film, Final Destination.

[@滋榎本]

As much as Disney brings our imaginations to life, they also know how to grip our heartstrings. Heart-wrenching character deaths are a common occurrence in the best Disney projects. Whether it be the inevitable defeat of a cunning villain or a character-building death of a protagonist, death in a Disney movie has always been a hard pill to swallow. Many of us at young age remember some traumatizing Disney deaths that will never leave our minds. When the conversation about traumatic Disney deaths comes up, The Lion King is one of those movies that you cannot avoid. Of course, Mufasa's death had us all in shambles. However, we tend to forget that Scar's death is maybe even more brutal. Although we don't see him actually die on-screen, Scar meets a horrifying (and deserving end) when he gets cornered by the band of hyenas, and they all swarm him, leaving us to assume he was eaten.

[@robanah]

It's a shame the modern Disney doesn't kill off villains like they used to! Nowadays, they just give them some tragic backstory as to why they became villainous

[@Compucles]

Hmm, you're right. We haven't had a Disney villain death in the animated canon since "Wreck-It Ralph," unless you count the former King of Arendale in the prologue to "Frozen 2."

[@xenablossom4682]

The Horned King's death is still pretty graphic with the flashing light effects covering up most of the gore. Even 80s-era Disney was lucky to get away with it.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Most of these deaths are so much more terrifying when you get older. They’re scary to see as a kid but then you get older and you realize what it would be like to die these deaths, what those deaths represent or just realize how truly terrifying the visuals are and you wonder how the heck you weren’t more scared as a kid

1:48 This pisses me off because this movie is part of a 5 book series i love called The Chronicles of Pydain, and the horned king was the villain of the 1st book The Book Of Three and The Black Cauldron was the second book. The horned king actually dies as soon as his real name is called because evil isn't as frightening when you can identify it. That was the point of his death it was a life lesson, and it was a point that the scariest things to people is the unknown.

[@danielvargas9231]

In my opinion, Scar has the most terrifying death. He was just swarmed by the hyenas and that was it. Then Hopper, Clayton, Frollo, Dr. Facilier, and Gaston. Mother Garbage's death was lame. But the number one death that I always tear me up is Mufasa's. It just makes me so sad. I even had a dream of that so many years ago, except it was my dad.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I’ve seen Tarzan so many times in my life. But most of it was when I was a kid. I didn’t watch it for a while and when I did was in my mid to late teens. Figuring out that we actually see Tarzan’s parents when they’re dead and knowing how they died is chilling
