Saddest moment in a Disney film?

Poll question: Saddest moment in a Disney film?

[TZ]

1. Mustafa's death in the Lion King...

[OmahaBlueDog]

2. I don't believe I overlooked that one

Thanks!

[trof]

3. I cried like a baby when Bambi's mother was shot.

I WAS a baby.
;-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. I was such an idiot...

One day, about 15 years ago, the little girl down the street stayed at our house while her mom ran errands. I thought Bambi would be great entertainment for her. I never stopped to think she'd be upset. It made her cry, and I felt like total scum.

[trof]

10. My mom took me to see it.

I bawled until half way through the movie.

[blondeatlast]

4. Other: "Baby Mine," if you are a mom. Otherwise, Old Yeller, by far. nt

[siligut]

5. Had to choose Old Yeller for two reasons.

Because I was just an impressionable kid.
Because it wasn’t animated.

[swishyfeet]

9. Same for me

Probably the first movie I cried at.

[Mutley]

6. When Simba's dad died.

Man, I still cry a little when I watch that movie.

[jobycom]

8. The saddest moment in Finding Nemo to me is the "I don't want to forget" scene

between Dory and Marlin. I tear up every time.

[kimmerspixelated]

11. When the cat died in Thomasina.

[no_hypocrisy]

55. Yes! I couldn't stop crying even AFTER Thomasina "woke up".

That movie was devastating. Beats the pants off of Dumbo and Bambi put together.

[mitchum]

12. When Mary Poppins refused to get naked and have hot nasty sex

C'mon, I know the guy was just a chimney sweep, but she was so snobbish in her refusal

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. This scene from Mary Poppins always makes me tear up:

[mitchum]

17. Just a spoonful of viscera...

[JVS]

46. +1

[csziggy]

51. But she showed her tatas in "S.O.B."!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083015/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8kCLn-6mQU&feature=related - this does not show the actual boobs shot.

[astonamous]

13. It is a tie between Old Yeller and Bambi...

I chose Bambi's Mother because that was one of the first movies I saw in the theater and I remember crying as a young child.

[gblady]

35. I agree about the tie....

I couldn't decide....
they were both soooo sad.

[azmouse]

15. Would you believe of all those movies

I've only seen Nemo? :shrug:

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

16. Mustafah's death.nt

[Graybeard]

18. When Dumbo's mother is in jail.

She is wrongly caged as a wild animal. She tries to reach out with her trunk (through the bars) to caress Dumbo who is outside but just out of reach.

[Auggie]

22. That 's mine as well

[annabanana]

29. mine too. . . n/t

[Scooter24]

30. Another for Dumbo...

that scene is just heart-wrenching :'(

[seemunkee]

34. Yes, one of my favorite scenes

Always loved Dumbo. The colors and backgrounds are amazing.

[Muttocracy]

37. yeah, have to agree (though I wish I'd forgotten it!) :(

[blondeatlast]

44. As I metion above, "Baby Mine" is the most gut-werenching song ever written.

Pass the Kleenex, please.

[poiuytsister]

45. She was only trying to protect her son.

Now that I have 2 boys myself that is the one that gets to me.

[Lyric]

52. Yep, that's mine too.

I sobbed watching that as a kid, imagining how *I* would feel if that was *my* Mom.

:cry:

[TommyO]

19. Bumbie's mom.... WAAAAAAHHHHHH

Oh, wait, that was Slappy and Skippy Squirrel...

added for the uninitiated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzIKoZdWQn8

But Bambi's mom definitely takes it.

[Shell Beau]

20. Not sure if this is Disney or not, but I teared up in Homeward Bound.

And it had a happy ending. But the possibility that Shadow didn't make it.... :cry:


And Eight Below. Not sure if Disney either, but I boo-hooed!!

[Muttocracy]

38. I took my niece and nephew to 8 Below, and cried too!! nt

[Drunken Irishman]

21. I remember bawling when Bambi's mother was shot.

The ending of The Fox and the Hound was extremely sad, then happy.

But still pretty sad.

[fizzgig]

36. the fox and the hound makes me bawl

:cry:

[Bucky]

23. When Gepetto started to carve Pinocchio a smaller nose, only he'd already turned into a real boy

Man, talk about your senseless violence.

Mufasa's demise didn't bother me at all--Frankly, with his sanctimonious attitude throughout the first half of the movie, I think he got what he had coming. The way he treated his younger brother... he was practically begging for it.

[Shell Beau]

28. Say it ain't so!

Mufasa left a poor wittle ole Simba! :cry:

[WildEyedLiberal]

24. I always cry during Jessie's song in Toy Story 2

The other scenes don't actually provoke tears from me, so I'm gonna have to go with that one.

[OmahaBlueDog]

39. "I will go sailing no more" from Toy Story ranks right up there

...that depressing Randy Newman.

[mainegreen]

25. When the fox in the Fox and the Hound realized they could no longer be friends.

Saddest moment in any disney film.
It's a genuine sadness almost all of us can relate to, opposed to many films which may be technically sadder at times, but really don't have a sadness that we can all easily relate to our lives.

Of course, I think the Fox and the Hound is by far the best Disney movie ever made.
:D

[realisticphish]

41. it's kind of a crappy message, though

"we're meant to hate each other, but we were friends so we'll compromise by not tearing each other into ribbons"

Couldn't they, you know, BE FRIENDS ANYWAY?

[FedUpWithIt All]

26. The opening scene of Tarzan. I cry every single time. n/t

[sarge43]

27. Dumbo's mother being taken away from him. n/t

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

31. when I reach in my pocket and give them

money?

[OmahaBlueDog]

40. That's how I feel when I go to a Coen Bros flick

:P

[RiffRandell]

32. Bambi's mom. n/t

[arcadian]

33. The part when the alien embryoid launches through that guys chest.

[Midlodemocrat]

42. The part where Zac Efron broke into song. I will never be able to watch that scene without crying.

[OmahaBlueDog]

43. The part where Zac said he wouldn't do any more HSMs is when the Disney execs cry

[Mad_Dem_X]

47. Bambi's mom. But Dumbo's mom is a close second.

Parts of "The Fox and the Hound" also made me cry.

[MajorChode]

48. The priest who got a boner in the Little Mermaid

Or so Pat Roberson would have you believe.

[Richard Steele]

49. The first time DisneyCorp released a film "direct-to-video". nm

[baldguy]

50. Sarah Palin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6urw_PWHYk

[applegrove]

53. When they put Dumbo's mom in jail and she cradles him with her trunk. I always used

to cry there.

[timtom]

54. Dumbo with a big tear in his eyes

as the song, "Baby Mine" plays...He's just been led by Timothy the Mouse to his mother, who is chained up in a cage. As their trunks touch, Dumbo's eyes well up with tears.

<on edit> Just skimmed through the other posts. Glad to see I'm not alone.
