Do any of the villains have fears or aversions because of their deaths? Does Cruella get anxious around cars, is Gaston scared of heights, etc?

Love this question! The villains that were resurrected DEFINITELY have some residual trauma that Disney couldn’t care less to acknowledge!

(Also I’m to excited to start answering questions, so here’s an early treat)

Disney Villains and Their Fears

———————————————————————

Since cars are so different now than they were in the 50’s, Cruella doesn’t have much of a reaction to them. A Honda civic doesn’t illicit much fear. But if someone revs their car loudly or an engine sputters, she’ll definitely take a few steps back. Depending on how one views it, since the villains are prohibited from leaving the park’s grounds, it’s fortunate that Cruella hasn’t had the opportunity to travel in a car. She will secretly avert her eyes if the other villains are watching a show that depicts a car accident.

Some of the villains fears don’t seem as prominent unless they’re in very specific situations

For the villains with fear of heights, it won’t really show since there aren’t many situations in the Disney parks where they’d be up high

Not only does Gaston have a newfound fear of heights, he’ll also get anxious during rainstorms/lightning. It ALWAYS storms in Florida, so this doesn’t bode well for the Frenchman. If a park member tells him to go outside, he’ll make an excuse to avoid it. Probably something to do with not ruining his hair….

This goes for Ratigan as well. He’ll also flinch whenever he hears a clock chiming, it’s such a subtle gesture that most people wouldn’t even notice. I like to think that goes for most loud noises now or anything that shakes him off balance.

Frollo isn’t scared of heights, but DO NOT let him near open flames. That’s a one way ticket to seeing the ex-judge have a panic attack. Actually, that goes for heat in general. You will seldom see him outside on days above 75 degrees.

Bill Sykes has a pretty bad reaction to the sound of train horns, and trains in general. You will not see his ass near the monorail.

You’ll never see Clayton in his once iconic ascot, or anything around his neck in general. Even the feeling of his own hair against his neck makes him choke, it’s why he demands a haircut biweekly. The company can complain all they want about wanting him to remain “recognizable”, but nothing is going to make Clayton’s neck concealed again.

Both Maleficent and Ursula avoid sharp objects. You’ll probably be yelled at by Maleficent for holding a pair of scissors near her.

Even though he didn’t die in the film, Honest John wants to keep himself and Gideon as far away from the Coachman as possible. The fox will go through hoops just to avoid being in the general area of the Coachman. Guilt is something Honest John rarely feels, but he regrets meeting the “man” every day of his life.
