Tell me the saddest animated films you've ever seen and what scene got to you.
-
The only one I can think of that actually made me cry was PokÈmon 8: Mew and the Wave-Guiding Hero. The scenes of both Aaron-sama's and Rukario's deaths made me cry. Aaron-sama moreso, due to his monologue about life (it isn't as cheesy as it sounds, believe me). The Land Before Time made tears well up in my eyes, during Littlefoot's mother's death scene. Um. Bambi made me have nightmares, but ah...hmm. That's it, I think. It's pretty hard to make me cry.
-
Hmmm....tough one really. I think the cake taker in my book had to be the first time I watched Watership Down (the film) and Hazel died. That got to me, don't ask me why since I had read the book and I knew how it ended so I should have expected it. Maybe its just the way they animated that scene....yes he's gone, but his spirit lives on. You don't often see a spirit rise out of a lifeless body.
Ratiasu, that's a sad moment for sure, but I guess the only reason it didn't tear jerk me like WD did is because we knew it was coming the moment Rukario said he realized what would happen if he tried to revitalize Mew. Maybe just the sense of knowing that he wasn't going to make it changed the perspective.

Saddest animated film? Hmmm, tough one...
The death of Bambi's mother really got to me, pretty sad scene.
Brother Bear's ending got to me as well, when Koda and his mother told each other goodbye after Kenai turned back into a bear to take care of Koda. And of course the confession scene, the way Koda looked when Kenai told him the truth about his mother being dead, it really got to me how broken up he got and ran off, the background song also deepened the emotion there.
Mufasa's death in The Lion King was another tear jerker, I cried during that scene but my cousin came out of the theaters in tears XD
I believe that's all so far that I can remember.
-
My List:
1. Bambi (for obvious reasons)
2. The Lion King (its based on Shakespear, enough said)
3. Princess Mononoke (where to begin? the star is a prince searching for the cure to his curse that will kill him, the other main human chracters for pulverizing an ancient, secred forest for so they can make bullets, and its gets worse from there)
-

Oh yeah, that was a pretty depressing movie, especially when the Forests's Spirit was transforming into the Nightwalker and Lad Eboshi shot off its head. But at least it ended on a happy note. Somewhat.
-
Old Yeller. ending made me cry.
-
"Old Yeller" isn't animated, but yes, that was easily one of the more depressing children's movies I've ever had to sit through.
-
Fox and the Hound(Most depressing Disney movie I have ever seen in a really long time)
All Dog's Go to Heaven
Bambi
-
Here's my list:
Plague Dogs: The ending with "Time & Tide" :cry2
Watership Down: Fiver's vision to "Bright Eyes"
Land Before Time: You guys should know this.
and a lot of the Disney classics.
-
Geez! This is tough for me based on ONE simple fact... I've never cried during a sad scene on animated films.
I downloaded the torrent for Watership Down and Princess Mononoke and can agree with both of those being quite sad for their respective reasons that were already mentioned.
Spirited Away is also a sad one. The way the girl nearly lost her parents by them turning into pigs. She also nearly lost her name. That's really sad.
"Bestest Friends" from LBT 10. One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. It was even more emotional with the possibility of Littlefoot leaving. That one really choked me up.
I could go on with the list of sad films. In the end, I just can't choose. -_-
-
Oh, and might I add "Charlotte's Web" as being one of the most tearjerking cartoons of all time? Just thinking of the song "Mother Earth & Father Time" reduces me to tears. :( :cry :cry2
-
I also agree with you guys about Mew & The Wave Guiding Hero. Just now saw it, and it's quite sad. :(
-
I gotta say that the saddest animated film would have to be the original land before time when Littlefoot's mother dies and Bambi was pretty bad too. That's one reason I don't really watch those movies anymore.
-
I hope I didn't read that as "I don't watch the original LBT film anymore because of Littlefoot's mother's death scene."
-

That would have to be mine as well because of the lack of animated movies i've seen.

Arn't that many I can think of...It's mostly non-cartoons or an animated series...but for those selections I would say...
Non-animated film
* Bridge to Terabithia
* Titanic
Animated TV series
* The Animals of Farthing Wood. I welled up when Badger met Mole's family and didn't know what Vixen meant by "Mole isn't with us", and when Badger died. As sad as those were, I am most saddened by Sinuous' murdur :cry2 ...even sadder when Adder came looking for him and when she found him :cry . Poor Adder and Sinuous.
AH! Here we go!
Animated short film but...
*The Origin of Mewtwo. If you don't know about it, it's a short when Mewtwo was...basically a baby (and very cute too at that!) and he made friends with Amber, who was Fuji's deceased daughter and he was trying to bring her back to life. So, apart from Amber and Mewtwo, there was a Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur being cloned. The sad part about this is that Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur failed (died), and then Amber did too. She and Mewtwo were just becoming friends and Mewtwo cried when she went.
Here's a clip that was not in "Mewtwo strikes Back". You'll understand why it's so sad!

*Nausicaa...that poor baby Ohm :( !

OMG! AH D: You ruined the series for me </3 Badger AND mole die? Well I have no reason to watch that >.>
Anyways, OMG! I love the uncut mewtwo's origin <3 *hugs and clings* I was just gonna post it myself :p
-
Just a couple.
-The wedding video scene from The Simpsons Movie
-Raphael's lament from TMNT 2007
-Tommy and Dil in the storm in The Rugrats Movie
-Kenai's confession in Brother Bear
-
...even sadder when Adder came looking for him and when she found him . Poor Adder and Sinuous.
On the bright side, she did go on a killing spree as revenge.

Bwaaaahahaha *evil grin*
Here's more:
*Phesant's death...that poor thing!
* The hedgehog's death...she wouldn't leave him :cry
* The "Goodbye may seem forever" bit in The Fox in the Hound...I had never gotten so close to crying in any movie...and I'm not that big of a fox person!
We don't see Mole die...his mate just says that...it's in the second season...and Badger was old and he lost the will to live because of grumpy old Fox :angry: ! (I loved Badger and Mole when I saw the American tape in 4th grade...now if you go on the Farthingwood.net, I am all about Adder and Sinuous :lol: ). And that was in the second season.
Have you even seen the 2nd season (The best, but I hate it because of the overuseage of foxes and Bold's story :mad )
-

-

-
I also must add both Grave of the Fireflies and When the Wind Blows. :cry
-

-
*Also uses Kehaar-ish voice* Yes, many foxes! Too many...need more snakes *puts a fake arrow on head*
Hai! >=O
<------ Fox
Anyway, here's my list
Bambi
Land Before Time 1,10
The Lion King
and a few more I cant remember right off the top of my noggin =P
....
Foxes forever!
-
Foxes <3
are we doing this?
Pokemon: First Movie - sad enough for a bit
Lion King
Land Before Time, of couse
I haven't seen many animated films I guess XD
if it was all movies I'd have a far longer list I'd imagine
-
You can also add a few of the sadder PokÈmon movies to the list (Mewtwo's always had a troubled life, Latios got it bad, and the Lucario thing was perhaps the saddest of the bunch :( ).
-
meh, I like Mew more, but the problem I had moreso is the fact that that's like the 7th movie or something, 1 movie per 4 years is alright, but jeez... not to mention the soundtracks went downhill after the first one, the second one only had one good song... but I digress... I only watched 1-3, and I don't really remember any but 1... in extreme detail
I think this should be made into just saddest movies though
-
I'm a sensitive little Artie, I cry at so many movies XD I just cannot stand people in mourning or in denial (about death), it just tears my insides up! So, needless to say, the list of animated movies that have made me cry is looooong. Here are the big ones though:
(Highlight the quoted portion for spoilers)
The Lion King. Sure, when Mufasa actually dies is sad, but it's the part right after that, where Simba is shaking him saying "Please get up, we have to go home" that gets to me. I cry every time, without fail XD
The Land Before Time, when Littlefoot's mother dies and when he mistakes his shadow for his mother =(
All Dog's Go to Heaven at the very very end when Charlie explains to Anne-Marie he has to go and they look into each other's eyes and she says "I love you" =( it really hits me because it makes me think about my own dog dying (he's still alive but I dread the day he'll go. I love the pup so much).
The Fox and the Hound is very sad, and the main characters don't even die. It's just a big depressing movie about lost friendship.
The original Charlotte's Web, when Charlotte dies =( heartbreaking
There are so much more but I won't list all of them XD
-
Put me down for almost all of those. LBT, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Lion King, Charlotte's Web...the list goes on.
Interestingly, the last animated thing I cried at (come to think of it, any media) was an episode of a TV show called Static Shock.
SPOILERS FOLLOW
There was an episode which started with a monument being unfurled to health workers who lost their lives curbing a riot. The main character's (Static's) mother had been shot fatally when he was little while she was saving lives of many. In the episode, Static and his friend Gear met another hero who had the unstable power of being able to travel through time. Using a machine, she inadvertantly took them and a bad guy back to the day of the riots, where Static immediately thought of his mother and took her away, telling her of what would happen and warning her to stay away. She was conflicted, unwilling to let others die, but very proud of her son. He then left her in a safe place, and went to rescue his friends. At the end, the machine started to short out, and took them back. As they began to leave, the last thing Static saw was his mother emerging from the ambulance, having returned to save others. He shouted after her, but it was too late. When he got back to the present, he ran home, to find nothing had changed (And the time travelling person went back and prevented herself from being in the area where she got her powers). I watched this and found myself in tears, and I was quite surprised, but it completely tore me up.
-
I see Plague Dogs has already been mentioned!
Hands down the hardest I've ever cried at an animated film. The whole thing was just a downer, and then the end... yeesh.
I even cried about it again the next day!
The Fox and the Hound always makes me cry. I think I've cried at every Pokemon movie ever :lol
Except the Manaphy one. That one really wasn't very good. And neither was the Darkrai one, at that. I haven't seen the Giratina one yet, so I don't know about that one.
Also pretty much every movie mentioned in this thread. I'm very easily moved :rolleyes
-
Static Shock was a good show. :yes
But how come nobody has mentioned the Iron Giant?
-
Don't the plague dogs survive and live happily ever after in the book?
-
Of those listed I've seen and would agree with: All Dogs Go To Heaven, Charlotte's Web, Land Before Time, Lion King. I've not seen the others mentioned and do try to avoid movies with such elements, especially ones with such at the ending.
-
You can also add a few of the sadder PokÈmon movies to the list (Mewtwo's always had a troubled life, Latios got it bad, and the Lucario thing was perhaps the saddest of the bunch :( ).
Don't forget the Jirachi one
-
Let's see...the saddest animated films I've ever seen are:
*The Land Before Time
*The Fox and the Hound
*Charlotte's Web
*Bambi
*The Lion King
This may sound strange, but the animated story of "Frosty the Snowman" used to make me cry as a kid. The part where he melts was just too much for me back then :!.
I can't recall the title, but there's this short animated Christmas film about an orphanage full of children who wake up on Christmas mornin' and excitedly start playing with their presents, only to have their presents fall apart like a ton of brick, causing them to start bawling. The show ended happily with Santa Claus appearing and making new toys for the children, but seeing these kids with no parents or adults celebrating Christmas with them, in addition to their toys falling apart and them being sad, has always been very sad to me. Just thinkin' about the program still makes me tear up to this day. That's just me, though. I've always been terribly sensitive, and even if it's animated, to see others (especially kids) who have little to nothing makes me very sad :cry.
-
Don't the plague dogs survive and live happily ever after in the book?
Yes they did. That's not what's implied in the film (especially if you watch the uncut version). Its pretty apparent the dogs don't survive.
-
There were several scenes in Kung Fu Panda that I found rather sad.
One of the biggest had to have been Tigress telling the story of Tai Lung. Shifu found him as a baby. Shifu raised Tai Lung like a son and trained him in Kung Fu. He mastered the Thousand Scrolls of Kung Fu; but he wanted the Dragon Scroll. But when he was refused the scroll, Tai Lung went on a rampage in the village and tried to take the scroll by force. Shifu had to destroy what he had created, but how could he destroy one who had been like a son to him?
Shifu hesitated, thus having Tai Lung swipe him out of the way. Oogway, Shifu's mentor, managed to use several nerve strikes on Tai Lung, incapacitating him. Tai Lung was then locked away in prison.
"Shifu had loved Tai Lung like no other person... or since."
Another flashback shows a younger version of Tigress doing several forms of Kung Fu similar to ones a younger Tai Lung did. But instead of being praised for it, Shifu only corrected her stance and walked off.
It's even more sad when you watch the Secrets of the Furious Five side movie. There, it explains that Tigress was orphaned as a child; and that Shifu adopted her.
