Disney Death: Difference between revisions

Not to be confused with [[Disney Villain Death]], which refers to a villain falling from a very high place, such as a cliff. Also not to be confused with [[Walt Disney]]'s actual death.<Ref>Unless he comes back.</ref>

** In the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''[[Discworld/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', Gaspode the Wonder Dog apparently makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save the Disc from the Things from the Dungeon Dimensions. In the first draft he was [[Killed Off for Real]], but this was rewritten following reader feedback, and Gaspode went on to become a recurring character. And, given the theme of the book, and the method used to revive Gaspode... possible [[Lampshade Hanging]]?

** In ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]'', it looks like Granny Weatherwax has given her life to help defeat the Queen of the Elves. When Nanny Ogg and Magrat go through Granny's personal affects, they find an envelope with a piece of card in it: Granny's old "I ATEN'T DEAD" sign. Nanny realizes this means Granny wasn't dead, but off Borrowing (in this case, a swarm of bees).

** Maurice and Dangerous Beans both die in the finale of the first ''Discworld'' children's book, ''[[Discworld/The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents|The Amazing Maurice and Hishis Educated Rodents]]''. Maurice survives because [[Cats Have Nine Lives]], and Dangerous Beans survives because Maurice offers ''two'' of his lives to [[Balancing Death's Books|Balance Death's Books]].

* In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Harry is struck by a Killing Curse, but {{spoiler|does not really die due to unknowingly becomingbeing an extra Horcrux. However, his friends back at Hogwarts do not know this at first and fear that their hero is gone for good.}}

** Ginny also gets this toward the end of ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'' via [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|being imprisoned in the Chamber and having the life force sucked out of her]]. Harry manages to undo that by destroying {{spoiler|a Horcrux}}.
