Eight Disney villains have fallen to their deaths: the Evil Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), Ratigan (The Great Mouse Detective), McLeach (The Rescuers Down Under), Gaston (Beauty and the Beast), Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Clayton (Tarzan), Charles Muntz (Up), and Mother Gothel (Tangled).

omfg that gif. xDDDD

I don't know which is my favorite. I really like Frollo's. I think the visual symbolism in that scene is striking (that whole damn movie --- I hadn't seen it since I was a kid, and I watched it a few months ago and couldn't even believe how risky/ambitious it is).

That shot of Mcleach is making me giggle like an idiot, I've obviously got to watch the Rescuers Down Under again since I've partly forgotten how he winds up as Croc-chow.

THIS. Exactly what I was going to say!

McLeach. It's weirdly poetic to be going over a waterfall.

Runner-up: Charles Muntz. There's something cruelly funny about him being tangled in balloons not strong enough to support him, unlike everything else in the movie.

Also my Disney Story Rule No. 14) Violence. Go crazy. There are few limits to violence as long as you're implying more than you're showing, AKA don't leave a mark. Obviously no gore and limited blood letting. If you're going to kill a villain you can't leave a corpse, so have them fall from a height, get blown up, or magically disappear post mortem.

Most Dramatic: Clayton's, hand's down. That gave me chills when it first came out. Runner-up would probably be Gaston. (And I just realized he'd be so annoyed about that. XD)

Most Humorous: Frollo, purely because of him tempting fate immediately before he fell. Runner-up is McLeach.

Related; someone posted a comment on a YouTube video of Gaston's demise, and I felt it needed to be shared.

"No one falls like Gaston,
No one screams like Gaston,
No one dies in a hole or ravine like Gaston."
