Top 10 Most Brutal Disney Villain Deaths

Though Disney movies are mostly family friendly they do tend to kill off the main villian in the most brutal and gruesome ways possible.
The Top Ten
1 Clayton - Tarzan

His has to be the most brutal Disney villain death. He literally committed suicide by accident by cutting down the vines around him. That scream was blood terrifying, and the shadow of the hanging corpse was the, so called, icing in the cake.

You know who else deserves to die in the exact same fashion? A certain TheTopTens user by the name of SilverShadows92. Why? Because of a couple disgustingly homophobic comments that he/she made about both Jojo Siwa and Ellen DeGeneres on a list of celebrities who tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

2 Ursula - The Little Mermaid Ursula is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid.

Clayton's death was by hanging himself and snapping his neck and we saw the shadow. That was so scary.
Scar was mauled alive by the hyenas which was honestly a very disturbing scene.
Queen Grimhilde fell to her demise and maybe the boulder killed her. Plus to add insult to injury, the vultures eat her.
Ursula's death is the most brutal, scariest and likely to give nightmares. She was impaled by a boat, struck by lightning and to add insult, they showed her remains.

Poor, poor Ursula. Ariel kills her only friends (the eels) and then she has complete control over the ocean and dies by A BOAT! Gosh, it's like Disney didn't respect their coolest villain at all! You could've at least let her eels live.

3 Syndrome - The Incredibles Syndrome (born as Buddy Pine) is the primary antagonist in The Incredibles. He wanted to be super like the others, even though he had no powers. He was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and dubbed himself "Incrediboy," but he was rejected by Mr. Incredible. Angered after being refused, he developed an evil plan... read more

Dude literally got shredded by a jet engine. I guess that's what you get for committing genocide on an entire group of people.

Gets chopped into pieces then blows up.

4 Scar - The Lion King Scar is the main antagonist of Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King. He was the second son of Ahadi and Uru — who were, at one time, King and Queen of the Pride Lands — the younger brother of Mufasa, and the uncle of Simba.

He backstabs everyone, he kills his brother, manipulates his nephew, brings down all the species and throws the hyenas under the bus. He died by being devoured to death. Honestly, one very scary and disturbing scene.

Scar survives the battle with Simba but waiting for him are the Hyenas not happy with Scar throwing them under the bus and theu gather together to devour him.

Scar has to FLAIL in agony as every last strip of flesh is RIPPED in a bloody mess from his wretched bones and, if that's not bad enough, have to see said flesh be chewed down before his very eyes (assuming he's still alive at this point)! Then again, that's what this son-of-a-bitch gets for remorselessly backstabbing EVERYONE (even his own minions, who are the ones that eat Scar alive)!

5 Dr. Faciler - Princess and the Frog

This death was really over-the-top for a Disney film compared to the others (besides Syndrome getting sucked in by a jet engine. That was pretty brutal). I don't think any other Disney villain has been literally dragged into Hell.

Let's get this one to first place. This is definitely one of the scariest deaths of a Disney villain. He is dragged into hell by demons and his gravestone is very creepy looking. Dr. Facilier's death is way worse than Ursula's.

This wins for most colorful Disney Villain death too.

6 Claude Frollo - Hunchback of Notre Dame

He literally stared his death in the face when he fell. Was very ironic that he fell into "Hellfire". Plus, that scream is one of the scariest screams I've ever heard in my life.

He must definitely die like this. That movie is WAY too violent for young kids to view it could traumatize them for all eternity that's why I voted.

Dude fell into molten metal. Is pretty brutal when you think about it. That's gotta be extremely painful.

7 The Queen - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

If the fall didn't kill her certainty the giant boulder falling on top of her would finish her off.

8 Hopper - A Bugs Life

Death by eaten by birds, Flick outsmarts Hopper luring him to the birds nest and be feed to the babie birds as Hopper frantically screams for his life before bieng devored.

9 Horned King - The Black Cauldron

You actually see his skin literally being ripped out as he is being sucked into the Black Cauldron.

He is torn apart onscreen by his own weapon. You see his rotting skin being torn off him

10 Sykes - Oliver & Company

Death by Train, as Sykes is fighting off Oliver and Dodger he turns around just in time to be struck down flames and all by the train.

I never liked this guy, in fact I hate this guy and seeing him get what was coming to him, makes me want to stand up and cheer.

The Contenders
11 McLeach - The Rescuers Down Under

Falls over a waterfall to his death. Joanna did the smart thing and crawled onto a rock. He thought the crocodiles were swimming away from him and actually they were swimming away from the waterfall.

Death by waterfall, while busy fighting off the crocodiles McLeach fails to notice the waterfall behind him Joanna waves one last goodbye as Mcleach desperately tries to get to safety but goes over waterfall to his death.

I just love the way that Jonna just waved goodbye to that moron. "Look out for the waterfall you idiot!" is what I think she was trying to say.

12 Judge Doom - Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I love this movie, but there are two things I what to improve(1) Judge doom's death is just a cheap knock off of the wicked witch of the west(2) I'd like to see smarty, psycho, and the other weasels survive the fight.

I love this movie, but there are 2 things I'd like to improve (1) Judge doom's is just a cheap knock-off of the wicked witch of the west's (2) I'd like to see smarty, psycho and the other weasels survive the fight.

13 Oogie Boogie - The Nightmare Before Christmas

This is the most disgusting death ever.

When milo grabs a ice aka crystal shard and cuts Commander Rourke.

15 Shan Yu - Mulan Shan Yu is the main antagonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is the evil leader of the Hun Army.

22 Shere Khan - The Jungle Book

He didn't die, he was simply chased away while running from his own tail.

In the remake he dies by falling into fire.

23 Professor Ratigan - The Great Mouse Detective

Hickey dickery dock. The rat ran up the clock. The clock struck 10. The rat fell down. Ratigan your time is up.

24 Alexander Pierce - Captain America: The Winter Soldier

As director of Advanced Weapons Research for the Imperial military, Krennic is obsessed with the completion of the long-delayed Death Star project. Krennic was portrayed by Ben... read more

He literally gets struck by the strongest weapon in cinematic history.

What I love most about his death is that he was killed by his own project, his own creation
