In a random conversation last night I found myself making the unfounded generalization that Disney villains all but universally fall off cliffs. Since this is, in fact, a topic I return to fairly frequently, I decided to do some actual research to back this sweeping statement up. It turns out that it's very close to entirely accurate -- or at least,
of the Disney villains who die, falling from a height is by far the most common fate.
This little study accomplishes nothing, save that now when I make this generalization, it will not be unfounded.
