10 Movie Villains Who Actually Got Away With It

1. Every Villain In The Movie (Pinocchio)

For all of its efforts to explore the concept of the human conscience, Disney's Pinocchio has some strange ideas about justice and morality. There are several evildoers in the movie, the vast majority of whom get away with everything.

Firstly, there's the ironically-named Honest John and his cat companion Gideon. While they're more dodgy than evil, they sell Pinocchio first to Stromboli and later the Coachman, and the only fallout from that is their profits from these transactions.

The Coachman is more of an out-and-out bad guy. He turns scores of children into donkeys and sends them to work in salt mines, for Pete's sake. For all we know, he's still doing that somewhere within the Disney universe.

Cruel puppet master Stromboli is also cut from the same cloth as your traditional Disney villain, yet after Pinocchio escapes from his clutches, he's never seen again. Without the star attraction in his puppet show, it's likely his business went under, but he walked away unpunished for his crimes nevertheless.
