deaths your walls and armies have fallen
and now it’s your turn for this list
we’re taking a look at the most
memorable or iconic deaths in movies I
guess so but why do I have to know
you’re gonna be with me I’ll be with you

moments warning this list contains major
spoilers and the final moments of heroes
and villains alike number 10 coral
Finding Nemo where did everybody go
animated mothers seemed to have the
worst look Pixar’s award-winning
undersea adventure opens with both joy
and terror as Nemo’s mother risks
everything to save the life of her
newborns from a hungry Barracuda just
get inside you right now while her death
was quick and the sacrifice she made
only saved one of her children there’s
no question this was a hell of a tearful
way to open the flick number 9 Ursula
the little mermaid
while you almost always want the bad guy
to get their comeuppance this is
probably the closest to overkill we’ve
seen in a Disney film insignificant fool
after stealing Triton’s Trident and
growing to an enormous size
Ursula ends up meeting her match when a
very gutsy Eric and pales her on the bow
sprit of a ship
we’ve heard of death at sea but this is
ridiculous and yet it works number eight
Charlotte Charlotte’s Web I’m Dan for
Wilbur in a while I’ll be dead
most of us wouldn’t shed a tear of a
spider died in fact some of you would
probably feel relieved oh come come now
Wilbur let’s not make a scene
chin up remember well even arachnophobia
wasn’t enough to stop kids and adults
alike from crying their eyes out when
this little spider kicked the bucket
Charlotte your children is safe
Charlotte I’m thinking of your life
Wilbur nothing can harm you now after
Charlotte saves a piglet named Wilbur
from certain death with her webbing the
cycle of life takes its toll the
talented multi legged creature fades
away after giving birth are you all
right Charlotte you don’t sound like
yourself well I’m a little tired perhaps
but I feel peaceful maybe next time
you’ll think twice before squashing that
arachnid you see Oh
very special Oh oui for just a moment
number seven
Clayton Tarzan I can use a challenge
because I’m trying get rid of you
rounded up your nickel a Tammy will be
all
easy when hunting you really should be
careful what kind of target you’re
dealing with go ahead shoot classy
Huntsman Clayton played the odds and
lost when he took on man ape Tarzan on
his home turf after losing his firearm
and getting strung up by vines he makes
the foolish decision of trying to cut
himself loose
bad idea Clayton the law of the jungle
always wins out number six
buddy pine syndrome The Incredibles
sometimes a single piece of clothing can
mean the difference between life and
death you took away my future
I’m simply returning the favor this
Pixar villain learned this the hard way
when he tried to escape
via plane so this happening what’s
happening to things syndrome 1 never
threaten a member of a superhero family
and to be very aware of jet engines
sounds like Edna was right after all no
Cates met the man express elevator
dinah guys snag on paper splashdown
sucked into a vortex nuggets
number five the Iron Giant you are what
you choose to me you choose this just
goes to show that you don’t have to be
human to make a heroic sacrifice you
stay sent to earth as a tool of mass
destruction this Vin Diesel voiced
machine learns what it means to care for
others and even overcomes his original
programming is unbelievable this is the
greatest discovery since I know
television or something when a rogue
missile threatens to kill an entire town
you are only chose today the iron giant
gives up his life for his friend
and chooses to die a hero’s death
number four Optimus Prime the
Transformers the movie he may have been
the leader of the Autobots but he gave
up his life for the freedom of all races
the Decepticons are retreating I didn’t
gain a guide needless to say we were all
shocked when Optimus bit the dust
I fear the rules are fatal
a fatal confrontation against the
Decepticons Megatron leads to its death
relatively early on in the film and sets
the bleak tone for what follows do not
grieve soon I shall be one with the
matrix but at least he went out with one
heck of a speech
r.i.p big guy until that day till all
one
number three Bambi’s mother Bambi mammy
quick the thicket there are probably
very few people who haven’t been scarred
by this moment
you would have thought that a movie
about a cute little deer growing up in
the woods would be cheery and all fun
and games but nope
in this Disney classic we get treated to
one of the most famous animated deaths
in cinema after Bambi and his mother
tried to escape a hunter only for her to
be gunned down and never seen again it
may have happened over half a century
ago but we’re still reeling from it
Romanian mother
mother
number two Mufasa The Lion King no
surprise here in what many consider the
quintessential Disney death the king of
Pride Rock is betrayed by his jealous
younger bro and thrown right into a herd
of stampeding wildebeest scar brother
it’s powerful unexpected and certainly
upsetting
no live that King how can you not get a
little teary-eyed when Simba tries
unsuccessfully to wake his deceased
father get up damn it has the tissues
cool before we reveal our number one
pick here are a few gloomy honorable
mentions
shall smite the wicked and slip into the
fire
and you lean like that too
number one
hey I don’t bite le Fredrickson up you
and me we’re in a club now it’s in no
way the flashiest or most tragic death
but this makes our number one because it
has something the others lack you know
you don’t talk very much I like you
after watching Carl and Ellie grow up
together and fall in love we find out
that Ellie dies as an elderly woman
after living a full and happy life it’s
a peaceful passing away but it’s also
natural and while it’s sad to see or go
especially as it leaves her husband Carl
completely heartbroken this is the big
screens most realistic animated death
and it hits closer to home than any
other
do you agree with our list what do you
think is the most memorable cartoon
death of all time that’s your heart
guide you it whispers smooth Austrey
