View Full Version : Animated flicks where the hero actually kills the villain

Most animated flicks, unless the villain is just beaten but not destroyed, usually if they're extremely evil, they meet their untimely demise, but usually it's due to their own fault, or on accident of the hero attempting to save them. There are a couple instances where, even if it wasn't purposely, the hero basically, for lack of a better term, murders the antagonist. :sweat:
Pebble and the Penguin - Hubie vs. Drake. Hubie is just attempting to beat him into submission, but that last kick to the head sent Drake plummeting.
Atlantis: The Lost Empire: Milo pierces Rourke with a piece of the crystal, which was technically defense, but in the end it turns him into some kind of crystalline monster, but he dies anyway.

Slepping Beauty: Dragon, Prince Charming, 'nuff said
The Little Mermaid: Trident, Ursula, Sora...I mean that prince guy, 'nuff said
TMNT IV: Those immortal guys died right?
The Incredibles: Wasn't exactly Mr. Incredible that did him in but the force pushed Syndrome far enough. Oh, Syndrome if only you knew the law of "NO CAPES" (still waiting for that sequel with a cyborg-Syndrome. It's coming people)
Nearly every DBZ flick
Andthat's all I got for now.

How about Superman Doomsday? He DOES kill the clone, even if he's not really the namesake villain.

It's been a while, but wasn't it Beast's flailing around after getting stabbed in the side (that act having occurred after a fight ending in Beast going out of his way to spare his life) that knocked Gaston to his death?

Would Judge Doom of Roger Rabbit fame, after it has been revealed he is a toon in a human disguise, gets a dose of his own medicine (by being sprayed by and dissolving in the "DIP"), thanks to Eddy Valiant (Hoskins) count?

In Wizards, Avatar kills his brother Blackwolf with a gun making it a pretty ironic ending baised on the theme of the movie. Plus in Coonskin Rabbit blows up the mobsters, but that's an adult film.

In the new Turok DTV, Turok kills a whole LOT of people.
I'm also thinking that Hellboy Animated has no problems with Hellboy dispatching the forces of darkness, although it's debatable whether he really kills them (as in, "can a demon really be killed on Earth") and it's also borderline on the "he's only killing robots so the colossal violence and oil spurting everywhere is OK" cheat.

Rose from American Dragon (not completely a hero but pretty close) killed the Huntsclan in the episode Homecoming as a last resort.

Mulan - Brought down an avalanche on an invading horde then blew up the main bad guy later on.

The Incredibles: Mr. Incredible did sent off the motion that did kill Syndrome.
Superman Doomsday: Not only did he kill the monster Doomsday, but he also killed his own clone.
Sleeping Beauty: The prince vs. the dragon. That covers that.
In Sleeping Beauty,while Prince Phillip did fight the Dragon form Maleficent,it was actually Flora that killed her,by using her magic on the sword ("Oh Sword of Truth,fly swift and sure,that evil die and good endure"),which then stabs Maleficent in the heart...
In The Nightmare Before Christmas,Jack Skellington destroys Oogie Boogie,by pulling apart his seams,and releasing all his bugs (though Santa kills the last bug,by stepping on it)....
Mulan (with Mushu's and Cri-Kee's help) destroys Shan-Yu,by trapping him on the roof,and aiming fireworks at him...
The Little Mermaid...Prince Eric kills Ursula,by stabbing her in the side with a boat...
Even though he didn't mean to, Tarzan did kinda get Clayton killed in the Disney movie.

Santa's a murderer!!! :eek:
In The Lion King, Simba pretty much kills Scar (though the hyenas eat him)

In A Bugs' Life, Flik doesn't kill Hopper per-se, but he did lure him near that bird's nest so the birds would eat him.
Hopper still died, regardless.

In 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' the Dwarfs push a bolder on to the evil witch which, obviously kills her.
That's all I can think of for now. :sweat:

In The Return of Jafar Iago kicks Jafar's lamp into a pit a lava, which kills Jafar.
In Aladdin and the Kong of Thieves Aladdin's dad tosses the Hand of Midas to Sul'luk, which turns him to solid gold, killing him.

Um, no. Simba spared Scar and banished him. Scar specificly said, "You wouldn't kill your old unlce?" and Simba replied, "No, Scar. I'm not like you."
Simba didn't kill Scar, but like Bruce Wayne in "Batman Begins", he didn't have to save him either.
Optimus Prime dispatched a lot of Decepticons in "Transformers: The Movie" thought it's uncertain whether he actually killed them or not (as several of them were still clinging to life later in the movie). Kup and Hot Rod killed some Insecticons and Sharkitcons, and Grimlock ordered the Sharkticon drones to "execute" the Quintessons.

I think Clayton's death was one of the most horrifying in a Disney movie, at least to me. Out of all the main villains demises, you could really tell exactly how he died. The first time I watched it I actually closed my eyes.

Oliver & Company- Iirc, Dodger and the gang actually push the 2 evil pitbulls off the car while driving through the subway, electricuting them to death. They also led Sykes to the subway in the 1st place, which causes his death when his car crashes into a subway train.

Technically speaking, Rainbow Brite's villain died in her movie. Crushed to death by a rainbow. Of course, it was a 1980's cartoon for little girls, so they don't say that.
And of course, Unicron was destroyed in Transformers the Movie.

Oops...man I feel stupid.:o Sorry I haven't seen that movie in a while...but one I am (more) certain of is from TMNT 2003. In the episode 'Hunted' Leatherhead pushes the game hunter Marlin into the water while he had an explosive on him that would kill him, LH and obviously the turtles. This saved all of their lives except of course Mr. Marlin who is killed. :sad: (or atleast it's implied that)

I recall a few animated flicks/series where the hero actually kills the villain.
In the 1983 animated feature 'Fire & Ice,' the mysterious and enigmatic hero Darkwolf put an end to the evil and powerful ice-prince Nekron with his battle-ax.
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker force-crushed the techno-union leader's breathing apparatus, effectively killing the separatist in the animated 'Clone Wars' series.
In 'JLU's' episode Panic in the Sky, Supergirl dispatched her clone Galatea permanently in a rather 'shocking' way (pun not intended) by using the watchtower's power conduit and thus saving her colleagues and the space station itself.
In the 'Legion of Superheroes' animated series, Imperiex met his timely demise at the hands of Brainiac-5, snatching away the opportunity from Superman-X.

That's a good point. The thunder and lighting casting his shadow, showing how the vines hanged him, was pretty intense and creepy.

I'm sure there were some fan fic artists that drew Clayton hung, eyes rolled back and all for some sick reason. :sweat:
