Fidget was forcibly thrown from an aircraft by Professor Ratigan and last seen plummeting into the River Thames, to his presumed death.
Fidget's Demise During the Climax
During the intense final confrontation in The Great Mouse Detective, the one-winged bat, Fidget, met a dramatic and unfortunate end at the hands of his ruthless boss, Professor Ratigan. As the villain attempted to escape, he made a cold decision regarding his henchman, discarding him without hesitation.
The sequence of events leading to Fidget's presumed death unfolded as follows:
- Forcible Ejection: In a moment of strategic cruelty or exasperation, Professor Ratigan threw Fidget out of the aircraft they were using for their escape.
- Desperate Plea: Despite being a bat, Fidget was unable to fly properly and desperately cried out, emphasizing that "he can't fly" as he was cast out.
- Plummet into the Thames: Fidget was last observed falling rapidly towards the River Thames below, disappearing into the water. This fall indicated his presumed demise.
This severe act highlighted Ratigan's villainous nature and the fact that Fidget was ultimately expendable in his master's pursuit of escape.
