Should Yzma die?

I saw the film for the first time last year and when seeing Yzma jump to catch the potion and falling heaven knows how high up, I was sure she'd be another of the so many villains to fall to their deaths, but I was annoyed that she didn't die. I wish the trampoline wasn't there, then I'd be thrilled to see her die. Should she die? I say yes because she doesn't deserve to live and it would serve her right for being evil. I wish all the female villains in the Animated Classics, them being the Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine, Aunt Sarah, Maleficent, Cruella De Vil, Madame Medusa, Ursula and Mother Gothel could fight her in her normal self and kill her. Whenever she speaks, I say all the other female villains's names as mentioned because I wish they could fight her and kill her. Is the Evil Queen still the only female villain to fall to her doom?

Fantasizing about death isn't normal.

she wasn't that much more evil than most of the other villains. it was odd that she didn't die though

This was basically Disney's answer to a Looney Tunes cartoon. Having a character die would kind of bring the mood down. It was funnier to have her live and still be evil in her new cute form.

She was a kitten, disney wouldn't do that to a little kitten.

They let Tim Burton do it in Frankenweenie.

But... if there was no trampoline and she went splat, Kuzco would basically be stuck in his llama form forever. Yzma caught the vial as she ascended upwards.

NO. Yzma was the best part of this movie. She's my favorite character out of all movies

Maybe if this was a "traditional" Disney film but a major character's death wouldn't fit in this movie's overly comical tone.

Disney animated movies recently have stopped giving the villians a death scene

Frozen, Big hero 6 ect. The latest one was with a villian death was wreck it ralph now they stopped doing it

Falling to one's death is a typical death of Disney villain's as it represents them "falling" from power and grace. This movie ended with a type of "everyone got what they deserved" type of thing.

This movie was like a long and very well-animated Saturday morning cartoon, and Yzma was only 'villainous' in a zany, comical fashion. For her to die would've totally broken the tone of the film.
