Line 84:
* '''BOING!'''* }}
* The Evil Jack-In-The-Box from the "Steadfast Tin Soldier" segment of ''[[Fantasia 2000]]'' is a half-example. He charges the soldier, and is flipped over by him off the table falling into a hot stove.
* ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'': The
{{quote|'''Whitmore:''' What happened to Helga?
'''Cookie:''' Weeeeeell, we lost her after a flamin' zeppelin come down on her - * WHACK* Uh, missin'. }}
* Averted somewhat in ''[[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]]''; Gantu does fall after being tossed out of his own ship by Stitch, but he just lands on another one.
* A neat variation occurs in ''[[Treasure Planet]]'': the truly nasty Scroop dies by falling ''[[Gravity Sucks|upward]]'' when the ship's [[Artificial Gravity]] gets turned off. This is obvious [[Karmic Death|payoff]] for his murdering the [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|kindly-though-gruff]] First Mate Mr. Arrow (one of the few ''heroes'' who dies by falling -- [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|into a black hole]], no less) through similar means.
* Syndrome of ''[[The Incredibles]]'' subverts this by getting [[Turbine Blender|sucked into a jet engine]]. Note that Mr. Incredible ''meant'' to kill him as it was a result of ''chucking a car at him''... just not in that particular way. [[Brick Joke|This is actually made somewhat humorous when one remembers earlier in the movie when Edna Mode was giving her reasons for refusing to give Mr. Incredible's new outfit a cape - Stratogale - one
* Subverted in ''[[Kim Possible]]: [[The Movie|So The Drama]]'', where Kim kicks Shego into a building, where she gets electrically shocked and the entire thing falls on top of her. She survives, and is perfectly fine, though.
* And fitting an [[Affectionate Parody]] of other Disney movies. In ''[[Enchanted]]'', Queen Narissa falls off New York City's Woolworth Building... after, yes, going [[One-Winged Angel]]. She explodes into glitter on impact.
Line 102:
* GO-4 gets a messy one (for a machine) in ''[[WALL-E]]''.
* Charles Muntz in ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]''. Those balloons tangled to his feet don't seem to have helped him any.
* Averted in ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]''. Dr. Facilier is very creepily dragged by the ankle of his shadow into the open mouth of a giant mask before it is closed,
* ''[[Tangled]]'' gently plays with this trope. While Mother Gothel did fall from the tower, she was already dead and turned to dust by the time she (or rather, her cloak) hit the ground. She suffered death by [[Rapid Aging]] rather than death by falling. Also, she didn't just cause her own fall, she was actually intentionally tripped by ''[[Team Pet|Pascal]]'' of all things.
* Averted in ''[[Tron: Legacy]]''. [[Big Bad|Clu 2]] does not lose grip and fall to his deresolution. Rather, his creator Kevin Flynn reabsorbs his program and [[Heroic Sacrifice|blows up]] as [[The Hero|Sam]] and [[Action Girl|Quorra]] make it to Flynn's Arcade in the real world. A tragic inversion with Tron himself who falls into the abyss after remembering who he is and his purpose. His [[Heroic Sacrifice]] only managed to buy the party a little extra time.
* In one album of the Italian ''[[Paperinik New Adventures]]'' comic series, Ethan dies this way by falling from the top of a dam. The man who is the closest thing he had to a father tries to extend his hand to him, but Ethan declines and says "Sorry pa, not this time."
* A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example actually happens during the first fight scene between Finn McMissile and the Lemons at the very beginning of ''[[Cars 2]]'': As McMissile is attempting to escape the Lemons' oil rig, a Gremlin can be seen being thrown off a balcony and into the ocean beneath.
