10 More Movie Heroes You Didn't Realise Probably Died Horrible Deaths

1. Chip - Beauty & The Beast

Chip Beauty And The Beast
Disney

In one of the most mean-spirited plot points in any kids film, the curse that befalls Beast because he's a bit of a douchebag ruins the life of everyone who works in his castle, regardless of how saintly they are. For some reason, Beast also employs children - he's really not a very nice guy - and Chip is turned into a cup. But then Belle manages to see past the fur and meanness and falls in love with her captor, breaking the curse and freeing everyone to go back to being servants (at least now they might be paid). Everyone, by all accounts, lived happily ever after, including little Chip.

But Wait...

Look at his head: it's got a gigantic bloody hole in it. Though he's shown to be a perfectly functioning child at the end when the enchantment drops, there is clearly something massively wrong with the little boy's skull, and he can't be long for this world. How did he even get the injury?

He's able to jump around (including from Belle's hand) without smashing, and he seems robust enough... Perhaps it has something to do with the unspoken attrocity that haunts the castle - the genocide of former staff and servants that clearly happened when Beast first changed...

Look at all of those poor, dead people who will never have a chance of living thanks to Beast's selfish emotions. That chair man deserved to live!
