Cut His Heart Out With A Spoon / Animated Films

Go To

  • In Ratatouille, Skinner catches Linguini messing with the soup, and threatens to have him drawn and quartered, "after you take him to the duck press to squeeze the fat from his head!" Duck presses do squeeze the fat out of ducks. However, they're usually not big enough to stick a person's head in; but Linguini is obviously NOT familiar with kitchens, thus it could still be a very formidable threat. And, of course, Skinner's just going apoplectic at Linguini 'rising above his station' by fixing the soup (possibly a Kick the Dog moment to reinforce the fact that Skinner's an evil little man, bent only on dominating the frozen food market by sullying Gusteau's good name?)
  • Lilo & Stitch: Nani has been locked out of the house, and screams to Lilo that if she doesn't let her in, she's going to purée her in the blender, bake her into a pie and feed it to the social worker... just as said social worker arrives.
  • In Stitch! The Movie, when Hämsterviel calls Pleakley demanding the other 624 experiments as ransom for Jumba:
    Hämsterviel: Wait for my phone call. I will then tell you the ransom exchange location, and call you many nasty names!
  • Madagascar: Alex threatens Marty with "I'm going to strangle you, and bury you, and then dig you up and clone you, then I'm gonna kill all your clones, then I'm never talking to you again!"
  • In Pinocchio, Jiminy snarls to Lampwick "I'll take you apart and put you back together again".
  • In Cars, Doc's first lines consist of ranting about how he'll throw Lightning in jail for so long the jail will rot on top of him, then build a new jail and let that one rot — considering the characters are cars and the jail is an open-air impound lot, this would be impressive, to say the least.
  • Disney's Mulan:
    • "I'm gonna hit you so hard it'll make your ancestors dizzy!"
    • When Chi Fu questions Mushu disguised as an official riding a panda:
      Chi Fu: Who are you?
      Mushu: [disguised as an official] Excuse me? I think the question is, who are you? We're in a war, man! There's no time for stupid questions! I should have your hat for this, snatch it right off your head! But I'm feeling gracious today, so carry on before I report you.
  • In Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, Avatar explains to the newly-reformed Necron 99 (now renamed "Peace"), that if he betrays the party, Avatar will do something that will, "Take twenty years to kill you, and you'll be screaming for mercy in the first ten seconds."
  • In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma's initial plan to kill Kuzco is as follows:
    Yzma: I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea. Then, I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself. And when it arrives (Evil Laugh), I'LL SA-MASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
  • The animated film Bébé's Kids has Robin making this humorous black-themed threat to one of the kids:
    Robin: If you don't tell me where your little brother is, I'm gonna beat the BLACK off you, and you're gonna look lighter than Michael Jackson!
  • In An Extremely Goofy Movie, when Tank tries to hurt Bobby, PJ threatens to hurt him with a biscotti... somehow, though all he says on the subject is "I'm not afraid to use it!" This threat is nullified when Tank bites the biscotti right out of his hand.
  • Eve from Alpha and Omega loves these. When one of the wolves in the pack is hurt, she wants to track down the attacker, tear his tail off, and shove it down his throat. As if that wasn't bad enough, when her daughter goes missing, she gives this little speech to the other pack:
    Eve: If any of you wolves have hurt my daughter, I will personally RIP out your eyes, and SHOVE them down your throat so you can see my claws TEAR YOUR CARCASS OPEN!
  • Shrek gives a string of threats of this kind to the villagers who hunt him, after correcting them that it's giants who grind your bones to make their bread rather than ogres.
    Shrek: Ogres will make a suit from your freshly peeled skin, shave your liver, squeeze the jelly from your eyes... actually, it's quite good on toast.
  • In Heavy Metal, Hanover Fiste is brought on as a Character Witness to Captain Sternn for numerous crimes. Having been bribed earlier, he initially gives the man glowing praise but the influence of a mysterious orb causes him to angrily blurt out all of Sternn's guilty actions before eventually Hulking Out and declaring:
    Hangin's too good for him! Burnin's too good for him! He should be cut up into little bitsy pieces and BURIED ALIVE!
