1) Hopper's end is the one that comes to mind as the worst end to watch. A bit of a strain to watch.
2) Scar's death in "The Lion King" is pretty bad, for almost the same reasons as Hopper's.
3)I'd have to say that the third worst death is Gazeem's from "Aladdin". Actually, for a few minutes, I'd thought that the carpet was Gazeem, but that belief stopped when the Genie mentioned the carpet had been around for milennia.
Lmfao, though I'd say Hopper's end. And Scar's is very brutal so it's a tie between them two. Scar's death was much darker and gruesome though.
Not really. You see the shadow of Scar attacked, while with Hopper, you see everything. It's just gruesome to watch, since you can imagine the terror and helplessness you'd have in that position.
shareI think Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty's is worst. Phillip stabs her right in the heart, and there's blood and everything. Then she falls off of a cliff, where all that's left of her is her cape with Phillip's sword sticking in it.
shareI thought Mufasa's was pretty bad too. Scar sinks his own claws into the back of Mufasa's paws, and then rips him from the cliff to throw him into the stampede...pretty brutal. And of course, Mufasa dies knowing Scar has betrayed him.
Ursula getting run through with a broken mast - and then it shows almost like an X-ray where you see her skeleton. Yeah, she was bad, but man, that must have hurt!
"Zombies, man. They creep me out."
Syndromes death in the incredibles is pretty sick. you also fel sorry for him as he starts whimpering and panicking when he is being sucked into the turbine.
shareYeah, but Syndrome's death wasn't drawn out like Hopper's was. I mean, Syndrome's suffering lasts about 10 seconds and he only whimpers a bit. Hopper's, on the other hand, goes on for a good long while, and the entire time he's screaming and kicking - GEE, it still makes me cringe. Yeah, I'll give Disney's most gruesome death to Hopper.
People talk about finding God - as if He could get lost.

You don't need to SEE Hopper's for it to be nasty. I felt bad for the poor fellow.
Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" gets his skin ripped off as he is whimpering....thats pretty unsettling. Poor bloke.
Also, Saluk from "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" turns into gold...rather slowly. That would be painful.
STOP CUTTING CHRISTOPHER LEE FROM SH*T!!!!!

oogies is bad but that's not disney, they just brought the character rights after it became a success even though they fired burton saying his films were too gruesome even though they're remaking frankenweenie the film he was fired over, gawd i hates disney for that :P anyway worst death? i don't think hoppers was that bad in a bugs life i think the little ants play is worse with all the raspberry blood, but over all i'd say scars was a bit heavy for kids as it's amoung the most visual but a character they might have just started to feel a little sorry for

Pixar's last 3 films have been quite soft when compared to their other outings which never avoided the subject of death.
- Cars is about getting out of town to win a race. No life or death struggle. Also their weakest film.
- Ratatouille is about a rat who wants to be a chef. Yeah, there's the possibility that he may be killed by a human, but this is rarely shown.
- In Wall-E, nobody's life is directly threatened.
Compare that to A Bug's Life where the grasshoppers goal is to kill the ants. The toys in the Toy Story films are in danger of being destroyed in numerous ways. Nemo and Marlin and many other characters in Finding Nemo are almost constantly in danger. And The Incredibles speaks for itself.
I wonder why Pixar went soft. With the exception of Wall-E, it's quite evident that their films are suffering because of it.

Have to correct you. Oogie Boogie is Tim Burton AND Disney. The 3D release is under Walt Disney Pictures if you don't believe me.
"HOPSCOTCH!"
disneydid the 3d but only as a distributor and their releasing a dvd but they did fire burton for wasting studio money on the project and then it works becomes a big thing shockingly enough they buy it correction only works when someone's incorrect.

Syndromes death in the incredibles is pretty sick. Torn apart by a jet turbine. Ouch.
Ursula's in Little mermaid was pretty sick too.
Claytons death in Tarzan was awesome, yet gruesome too.
NO....... YOUR not in this episode! ~Chowder
Hopper's death may not have been the most painful but it would certainly be the most frighteneing. Not to mention imagine the pain he felt in that bird's mouth.
shareMmm, i never really thought about it, but i guess his death is kind of bad. Uh, i'm remembering it all now. The part i've always felt uncomfortable watching was the scene where Hopper is basically beating the sh!t out of Flik, and Flik's not even fighting back. They don't show alot of it, but you see him get thrown alot and you get to see the pained expression and looks of horror on the other ants faces. I always thought it was a bit brutal, but appropriate none the less.
shareI cant even remember Hoppers death but I know Ursulas and Coral (in Finding Nemo) death was I think pretty brutal.
Theres gotta be somebody for me out there - Nickelback
What about Oliver and Company? The main bad guy's death there was. . . fairly blunt.
A train hits him head-on in an explosion and subsequent bristling conflagration.
I see no one has mentioned Gaston yet... Falling down to a pit full of spiked earth... you know what happened to him even if it's not seen.
"If you should need me, tap this staff three times on a wall."
"Magic?"
"No, it's just loud."
Ouch Gaston's was sick.
shareYeah, Hopper's death seemed gruesome, but I kinda like that part. I actually found it kinda funny how the cute birds were so happy to eat the bad guy. Quite ironic actually, but it's my favorite scene.
shareCoral's death was pretty gruesome, and I agree with pretty much everybody on this thread that Hopper's was pretty bad too
By the way, to whoever said that Pixar's movies are getting pretty soft, about Cars, there was a deleted scene after Lightning McQueen and Mack got seperated, he ran into a car graveyard which was pretty scary cuz there were a bunch of dead cars taken apart and ran into trees and everything and in Ratatouille, Remy's dad showed Remy the store with the all the dead rats hanging at the window. I think they're just starting to get soft with Wall-E
And I will get him back even as he gloats. In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats!
Also, Cars was not about getting to a race. Maybe this is a part of the plot, but the theme is learning to slow down and not rushing through life. Not every film needs a villain, and the themes in this film don't require it. The threat is modern societies desire to live in the fast lane and neglect the small pleasures in life. Radiator Springs was the aftermath of cars choosing to move fast instead of enjoying the view. If you can learn to appreciate the film as such, maybe you won't view it as "weak," though that won't happen.
As for the other films, Ratatouille featured an old woman firing a rifle at the rats, had the aforementioned scene showing the rat traps and dead rats in the window, and it also had a scene where Remy is captured and trapped in a cage, believing all hope was lost. Those are some dark moments; besides, what was Pixar supposed to do in Ratatouille. As far as I know, there is no real threat in the cooking world, so the only one they could have is the possibility of humans killing rats. Pixar can't necessarily force it.
As for Wall-E, what are you talking about? There are no villains or threats in this film? What about Auto? Also, if you think this movie doesn't have any violent movies, you obviously missed the part where Auto fried Wall-E's circuit board and left him for dead. Or maybe you forgot the part when Wall-E is trying to hold up the holodeck and Auto jams it shut, crushing him. Or when the escape pod Wall-E is in blows up. Or the scene in the garbage room in the Axiom. Or when the Captain is locked in his quarters. I would still consider these dark moments. I also think him rebooting and losing his personality for a while was a bold choice. Besides that, there were plenty of slapstick moments, darkly humorous, with Wall-E getting abused in so many different ways, and Eve frequently fires her gun. Also, the movie is set in a future where the earth is filled with garbage. I don't know what your definition of "getting soft" is, but I would suggest that any of these examples prove they are still willing to include dark and tense moments.
Besides, Up has a villain and it looks to feature a real threat. Besides, it was reported that the film actually has blood shown. I don't see how this could be considered "soft." The content is just dictated by the story; that's all.
I agree about Hopper though. I can't help but feel a little bad for him as I imagine what will happen to him. At the same time, it is funny that his demise is associated with cute little chirping baby chicks. To think these are the ones responsible for the gruesome death adds a dark humor edge.
I dont know if anyone remembers The Great Mouse Detective but remember the cat that came out in that movie? Well I thought the cats death was pretty disturbing as a child being that the cat got ripped apart by a bunch of dogs and you see the cats hair flying all over the place as she is growling.

Good call on that one. It's left to the imagination and has GOT to be a damn gruesome death [and it came before Scar's in Lion King, also a devouring death]

(scroll down)
ZIG ZAG from Arabian Knights aka The Theif and The Cobbler. Not an official Disney film but its from Miramax which is owned by Disney.
Zig Zag (voiced by Vincent Price) falls down a hole where his pet alligators await him. They begin eating him starting by nibbling his butt (he cries "oh my bottom") then his penis (it could have possibly been his cock because after bottom he cries "oh my top"). Zig Zag's sidekick vulture Phido (voice of Eric Bogo-something) flys by and joins them. Phido joined them because Zig Zag mistreated him throughout the movie and earlier in the movie, Phido decided that he wants to eat Zig Zag. Now, Phido finally gets his chance. Zig Zag's final words are: "You too, Phido?, Man's best friend...For Zig Zag then,...this is..., THE END!!" (he says this as Phido begins chomping down on his head). Afterwards everything fades to black. R.I.P. Zig Zag.
