Saddest Disney Moments Ever!!!

Bambi....totally blocked that one. That was bad.


I think Tuck Everlasting was Disney. Haven't seen it mentioned. I can't even listen to the music. They were playing the music in Epcot or somewhere once while we were eating... just a mix of Disney music and that one came on and I started crying because I remembered the mother crawling into bed with the grandma while she died. My son loves the movie but we usually turn it off around that part because it is just too intense.
 
The start of Up gets me every time I watch it.

Dumbo being rocked by his mother, Bambi's mom being shot, and Bing Bong being left behind all get me a little watery eyed. Some parts of Meet the Robinsons are sad, too.
 
I realized reading this that I've never seen Tarzan in full. We made it through the initial loss of his parents, but when the father gorilla was killed, my daughter turned off the VCR and declared that she'd never watch the movie again. I haven't either. I think she was around 6 at the time, and she's almost 23 now.

I know when I watch UP that I am in for full on sobbing several times.

I watched Toy Story 3 in the theater and was thankful for the 3D glasses. My older son who watched Toy Story constantly when he was little was finishing his first year of college, my daughter was going to enter her senior year of high school, and my "baby" (who watched Toy Story 2 with the same intensity that my older son watched Toy Story) was going into middle school. I pretty much lost it at the end.

And I can't actually remember the plot of Brother Bear 2 now, but I do know that it traumatized me as an adult to the point that I decided I'd never watch it again.
 
No matter how many times I've seen Dumbo, the Baby Mine sequence gets me every time. I start crying before it even starts. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. Also the scene where Dumbo's mom is giving him a bath. It's so incredibly sweet that it touches my heart in not a sad way, but still gets my tear ducts going.

I've definitely cried at most of the scenes mentioned here at some point or another, but man...Dumbo. Phew.
 

Bing Bong
Dumbo Scene
Mufasa Scene
Homeward Bound
Fox and the Hound

I cry just thinking about them (Old Yeller and Ray from Princess and the Frog) they get me every time to.
I can't watch the Quasimodo scene to this day, makes me physically nauseous

I think I have a 'trend' with animals.
The last scene in Toy Story 3 when Andy leaves his toys with that little girl makes me bawl to. We have Buzz, Bullseye, Jesse, Woody and the race car at home from Toy Story
My kids have been willing to donate them for years and I refuse :)
I won't let my kids get rid of their Toy Story toys either. You can't put Jessie in a box!

I cry at them all. Heck, I've seen them all so many times I start crying before the actual scene. Most recently was Finding Dory when she sees the shells. Oldest DD and I were a mess and my ten year olds were looking at us like we're were nuts.

The one that makes me tear up the most just thinking about it is The Fox and The Hound when they're told they can't be friends anymore. Oy! :sad::sad::sad: I had that happen to me as a kid so it goes straight to my heart.

Yep - I just answered a thread yesterday as to my fav WDW character and it was Copper. Even as a child their story was so profound and honestly shaped me. I love how in the end no matter what they were taught or how they were raised. Doing the right thing and friendship prevailed. I love that story. I saved all my Fox and the Hound memorabilia and gave it to my oldest DD who loved the movie at 3. I walked into the room and she was silently crying watching the widow tweed part, giving up Tod, I lost it. Just tears rolling down her little cheeks.
 
Up. The wordless montage tops the list of sad Disney moments for me. The movie came out a couple of years past my late miscarriage.

Such beautiful, heartbreaking, wordless storytelling. One of the best movie scenes ever.
 
I probably have teared up at most, the most recent I can think of was in the Good Dinosaur when Arlo finds more humans for Spot and has to make him to go them.
 
Not a Disney movie, but Disney related. This is pretty sad.

When Jim Henson died in 1990, Disney Imagineers sent this drawing of Mickey consoling Kermit to his mourning company

This scene reminded me of the end of Cheetah. I was six when Cheetah came out, I have refused to ever watch it again.

ETA
I see why there's no Ol' Yeller or Cheetah, it's only animated movies.

;)

I cannot wait. Not sure how I'll be able to live until that day, it's gonna be so damn hard.
 
The end of Mulan gets me.
Dumbo when he visits his mother.
Wreck it Ralph when he's diving towards his doom.
Toy story 3 is the big one though. I know it's been said but man when he looks back one last time and sees them all it hits me like a truck. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
