Line 39:
* Subverted in ''[[Bambi]]'' where Ronno actually survives being pushed off a cliff and into a river by Bambi while they are both fighting over Faline.
* In ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', Willy the Giant falls to his death, just like in the original story. However, in its theatrical release (As part of ''Fun and Fancy Free'') and at least one television rebroadcast, Willy is shown to have survived...and made it to Los Angeles somehow...
* A strange thing happens in ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]''. Lady Tremaine and Cinderella's step sisters [[Karma Houdini|don't really get punished at all]] ([[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Unless you count Birth By Sleep]]). But their [[Right-Hand-Cat]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Lucifer]], who [[Cats Are Mean|is mean even by Disney cat standards]], terrorizing the [[Empathy Pet|mice]] and basically doing horrible things when Lady Tremaine isn't available, falls from the window of Cinderella's tower. (The comics and sequels, however, show him still alive, [[Cats Have Nine Lives|minus one life]]).
** It's best to take the sequel's word for it. Cats (a) can right themselves in midair, and (b) go limp upon reaching terminal velocity, at which point their legs splay out and their skin stretches into a makeshift parachute. This means that they can actually survive very long falls.
** The third movie has the Stepmother and Drizella both get turned into frogs after a spell they try to cast on Cinderella, the Prince, and Anastasia is reflected back onto them. When they are turned back, it is implied that they will be servants in the castle. Anastasia does dodge punishment, but then she actually is a lot nicer and decides to help Cinderella in the sequels.
Line 502:
* In the ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|New Batman Adventures]]'' episode "[[Mad Love]]", [[The Joker]] mock-subverts this trope. He jumps from one rooftop to another but falls off and lets out a horrified scream as the camera cuts away. Cut back to him standing on the roof of a train that had been passing under him and yelling: "MADE YOU LOOK!" After a fist-fight with the dark knight atop the train, he does, however, fall into a normal false death.
** The Joker actually gets this a lot. He has fallen off trains, rooftops, roller coasters, and pretty much everything else that is more than ten feet off the ground. Besides him, most of the other Batman villains have suffered this fate at least once. Bane fell off a boat, Freeze fell in [[Batman and Mister Freeze Sub Zero|SubZero]], and Two-Face nearly fell off a building to save his coin (but was saved by Batman). However, these villains were shown to have survived every single time.
** Inverted in "Over the Edge". Scarecrow knocks [[
* In ''[[Superman: Doomsday]]'', the Evil Superman drops Toyman to his death. In front of the whole city.
* In the ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "North by North Quahog", [[Mel Gibson]] suffers this fate after falling off of George Washington's nose on Mount Rushmore, because Christians don't believe in gravity.
