How many Disney villains actually die by falling?

Looks like the LD50 for them is higher than for humans though, for us it’s 8 feet.

And two seconds later Coyote is right back like nothing happened.

[Jeff Chandler]

In real life coyotes run down and eat every roadrunner they see.

A big part of that is back then violence in movies was much more theoretical than shown on screen. So you didn’t usually see characters die on screen, it was more an implied death than a visual one.

That’s because they make the mistake of looking down. The Cartoon Laws of Physics clearly state that gravity only takes effect after a character looks down.

Together with his latest Acme road runner catching contraption.

They don’t eat the ones with switchblades

There is always a lot of villains accidentally meeting their comeuppances. It is a way of defeating the villain without turning the protagonist into a killer.

Good point. By my count, only 4 of the 18 villains are actually killed by the actions of the heroes.

I'm pretty sure Bonnie and Clyde changed that, in 1967.

The data is a bit skewed by the large number who slip and fall and bang their heads on a curbstone or some such, statistically, that counts as a fall of zero feet.

Counting Pixar? Don’t forget the villain from “Up.”

Also the Ducktails Movie.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Pixar pictures and straight-to-video/TV do not count as Disney Animated Canon.

Don't forget about Hopper from "A Bugs Life." He ended up getting eaten by some bird chicks.

Also, Jaffar disintegrated rather horribly when his magic lamp was thrown into hot lava by Llago in Aladdin 2.

I recall Ducktails Movie getting a theatrical release, though I was really young so who knows.

[UnwashedPeasant]

According to Wikipedia, you are correct.

"It was paired with the Donald Duck short Dude Duck for its theatrical release."

I do not know why it is not considered canon.
