+Brionatic I sure did. The scene where he's holding the balloon in the church after Ellie's funeral was just so raw and unadorned. I dare say that few other scenes in the history of cinema come close to conveying its sense of true loss.
+Brionatic The first 20 or so minutes of Up were probably the saddest, most beautiful story I've seen rendered by fictional characters. Everyone should watch that movie at least until Carl lets loose the balloons and takes off!
@RJ's Gaming Channel, be happy you got to spend time with your grandmother bc life is limited. Not everyone get thoses magical memories. I never knew my grandmother, she died when I was 3 and don't remember her. Be happy you loved her and she loved just as much
Up will always be number 1 in my mind. I can still never get past those first 5 minutes without starting to cry. Whenever you need that good cry, you watch those first five minutes or when Carl finds the back of Ellie's scrapbook.
Oh yeah, that's another superb, emotional film with sad, touching moments... Especially the photo album scene and the first five minutes of the film! 😢
I don't cry because Ellie dies. I cry because she can't have children. Literally... every time I watch it. How that must hurt. That's probably one of my biggest fears..
Understandable. For me that was definitely the first part where I started becoming saddened. I was 15 so I didn't know the type of emotional impact it has now, but I still knew enough to really feel devastated by that. Pixar did... well, honestly, there are really no words to describe how amazing they did with those first 5 minutes, let alone the whole film.
Agreed. I think it's because of the fact that the first couple of minutes are so uplifting. It simply makes for a devastating emotional drop (the miscarriage hit me the worst). I get a catch in my throat just hearing that soundtrack.. Great list though.
pixelbear 64 yes but I think lion king is sadder because it’s a symba losing his father and then being blamed for his fathers death. Where as up the death is natural and she lived a long happy life.
10. Daawww... kitty... 09. Yeah that was sad. 08. Oh Optimus... 07. God I love this movie! 06. OH GOD NOT THIS SCENE! WHY ABANDON A DOMESTICATED FOX INTO THE WILD! ITS TO SAD!!! And from here on out, the tears wouldn't stop rolling.
No. Nope nope nope. Considering Disney's reputation with sequels and box office failure, and the Iron Giant is sort of a one-movie experience, as the sacrifice thing and all would be pointless with the story continued.
As much as I love the iron giant, a sequal might ruin the entire series. I suggest you watch it again, it's still a great movie and it has a lot more depth than I noticed when I was a child. I must confess that I still watch it every few months.
@@jarword5294 there are many animated short flicks shorter than the start of Up which can also get a lot of people to cry, but they are not as widely recognized as Disney movies.
The scene where Todd gets dropped off in the woods by his owner always broke me, especially as she says "I needed you, too". Pretty much all of The Fox and The Hound broke me. It isn't always listed among the Disney greats, but it's such a poignant film that accurately depicts the loss of innocence, true friendship, and companionship.
Hey, I know I'm one of the Disney Princesses but even I cried badly when watching some of these sad moments: - Mufasa's death - Baymax sacrificing himself to free Hiro and Abigail from the portal - Seeing my ex-husband Eugene die in front of me 😢 - Hiro in tears after seeing his brother Tadashi's various attempts to "kickstart" Baymax, his science project - Optimus Prime dying after that epic fight with Megatron (not from any of Michael Bay's movies, btw) - Woody uttering "so long, partner", when seeing Andy drive off after he and his friends were left at the cute girl's house
I forgot to mention those beautiful, emotional scenes in Up - the first five minutes of the movie, as well as the part where Carl flips through the photo album...
Transformers, the storyline and cartoon is entirely American. It was created to help market the Japanese transforming toys to American boys. Watch "The Toys that Made Us" on Netflix.
"up" should definitely be first. The way they sum up life from childhood, dreams, happiness and loss of a loved one and then the loneliness is brilliantly put together.
So true. I think the death of Mufasa is overrated. I find Bambi's mom's death more horrifying tbh. It took a few years for me to watch Up because I just saw the opening of the movie at school once and I was like "nope, never, wtf is this, satan made it". It's so beautiful but so sad at the same time. Also, Kerchak's death was quite sad too when you see what his death implied for Tarzan
This might sound cliche but the whole "Do you want to build a snowman" scene in Frozen is a real tearjerker. What makes it even worse is the fear that me and my sister will end up that way.
Hmm... I never considered Frozen, but now that I've thought about it your right, the idea of a sibling forced to cut there own brother/sister out of there life for the fear of losing control is sad.
These scenes might be a bit traumatising for children, but I still think kids' movies need moments like these. It's the best way to teach children that life's not only about joy and happiness.
When Wall-E didn't recognize Eve, and then when he did. Hard to tell if the kids were crying harder than I was. I remember watching that, and my youngest niece (who hates being wet) spilled a cup of milk all over her and didn't even notice. She was too wrapped up in it. I didn't notice either.
CHi That movie had me crying too, perhaps because I related the story's protagonist, being bullied often throughout my childhood and struggling to form friendships. It's much better now, though, it's a fact of maturing and developing.
CHi I know, right? This moment always has my little brother in tears. It's definitely sadder than Beast almost dying. Seriously, how did that moment get on the list? The song they play and the way that Dumbo and his mom don't want to let go of each other is the perfection combination of sadness.
I actually found the reunion of Bolt and Penny in Bolt to be a real tear-jerker. I agree with the list, I'm just sad they didn't do any honorable mentions with Flynn's death scene from Tangled, Ralph wrecking the kart in Wreck-It-Ralph, and (I know this was a terrible movie overall, but) Chang's supposed death in Mulan II. They got the expressions down in that scene, I thought. :D I would also add Anna's "death" in Frozen, but this video was made before the movie came out, so that one couldn't have been in there....unless they can see the FUTURE!! XD
I swear i almost cried on 4 -1. i cried so hard when the lion almost died in narnia: the lion the witch and the wardrobe aswell as when ash was turned to stone in pokemon the first movie. btw hi river!
Little Foot’s mom dying actually scarred me as a child. That and “Witches,” ... and the Botalair children. Parents dying in movies created a childhood fear in me holy shit. I couldn’t sleep a single night away from my parents until sometime after age 14
***** Well, the cars movies were really successful and kids love them. Even though they aren't as deep and good as the others, you can't deny that when you're making children's the most important thing is that you make movies that children like. Cars are great in their own simple way.
You ALWAYS miss one. What about the scene on Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron where Spirit and Little Creek hug each other? Or when Spirit stays with Rain when she's injured, and he gets taken away? Srsly...
***** The moment when Spirit is in the train is the saddest scene in the movie, even if there are a lot of sad scenes in this movie. This is one of my favorites. It's so underrated...
Before you click play; “alright, I’m up for some nostalgia!” After the first entry; “this was a terrible mistake...” After the second entry; “... suuuuiciiiide is painleeeeesssss”
+TheOakAsWay YES! So much. Growing up without my mom, that scene killed me. Then the scene from The Fox and the Hound kills me because it makes me think of my wonderful grandmother.
Up made me cry, imagine a 20 year old man crying beside a group of girls. up was masterfully done and shows Pixar's ability in creating not only a compelling story but a story that holds a lot of relevance to us.
Not only that, but Pixar, the incredible company that it is, just made one of the saddest stories I have ever seen, in a matter of 5 minutes. Pixar, I solute you.
I feel like i'm one of the few that didn't tear up at Up. I guess i thought positivly that they had like 60 years or something. If she died at like 20 i might've been more sad but all i want out of love is to spend 50 years or so with my love and Carl got to do that. I felt bad they couldn't have a kid though.
My #1 saddest movie moment will forever be from the movie "grave of the fireflies" That movie made me and my brother just feel the feels, making him cry and the two of us hugging each other
true about the mufasa thing but i always like always cry at scars death (also i know that scar was not evil but filled with jealousy and rage so kinda wasnt his fault if u didnt know his father like literally disowned him so i got the feels for scar man de feeeeeeellllllssss)
UP was by far the best for the following reasons: The most realistic. You felt this could happen. Death shown in a slow way, not trying to be shocking. A silent film portion. More effective at emotion then dialogue. The music was good for the scenes. Really relates to the the rest of the film and not forgotten.
+kotosqopos Oh my god, I was a blubbering mess when EVE was trying her damnedest to restore WALL-E. She even had panic in her voice while she was trying to fix him, denial when she did but he didn't remember her, and sadness when she came to terms with the fact that she had lost him. Holy fuck, how did this not even get an honorable mention?
I can't stand toy story only because i never play with my toys and it makes me sad thinking what if they were alive and they were sad i never play with them i know this sounds stupid but does any one else relate?
+Yet Another Gaming Channel no u don't. on may 18 '14 i went 2 toys r us & got woody cuz i love him as much as andy does! i used 2 take him with me everywhere in my house but i now i usually keep him on my bed. i didn't care if i was 19 & still don't if i'm 21
This is why Toy Story forever scarred me as a child. I have spent years of my life terrified of saying goodbye to my plush animals all because of this!
*Spoiler Alert* After watching Inside Out they have to re due this list and put BingBong dying, that shit wrecked me when I was watching it in theaters I couldn't hold my tears back
koopakiid16 I mean it has been out in theaters for nearly a month now so you have had time to see it. Also you could of said it nicer but I have put spoiler alert as per your request.
+Mariam Black it's okay to cry.. my both brothers laughed to see me crying "it was just a movie"... but that SCENES can't go away from my mind.. and also that short movie clip before the start of the film.. so i cried thrice..
The Fox and the Hound makes me cry every freaking time. i don't care if i see just a little bit of that part like this video shows, i still cry my eyes out.
aww poor thing *hands you a tissue and pats your shoulder* it'll be okay eventually. soon you'll be like me who cries so much you won't have anymore tears to shed. (not sure how that was encouraging, but imma roll with it XD) Sylvia The Dog
Join the club. My dad fell asleep 15 minutes in, so it was just my mom, sister and I. At the ending we just started sobbing. Toy Story was my sisters childhood.
Emma Buenaga sinister kiid Same... The incinerator part gets me every time too. Am I the only one out there who literally watched these films JUST so I have an excuse to cry my heart out and get it over with?
Personally, I feel that the saddest moment in Toy Story 3 was when they were about to be incinerated by that inferno and held hands, but your moment works too. I guess.
Oh yea... I got it for us to watch... I put it on before everyone got home... Ya know to check great Blu-ray pic... Jeeeez, I cried like a baby!!! Then sat there chewing my lip, when we watched it later!!!
landronics It was moving, therefore it should be top of the list XD Like can't say The Iron Giant was particularly thrilling, but it had one 'moving moment' and made the list :) PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A 50 REPLIES ONLINE ARGUMENT ABOUT TROLLS AND OPINIONS AND BULLSHIT. Just saying XD Also Doug from Up is my fav cartoon dog ever :D
My mum died two days after I turned 18. She poured gasoline over herself and lit a match. I discovered her body when I was at home alone and I saw something weird outside. When I found her I freaked out and went mental. My dad was at work, my brother Christian was at the movies, my other brother Christian was at a Slipknot concert, my sister Amy was out at the mall and my other sister Sophie was out walking the dog. I immediately phoned my dad and he raced home. Christian, Amy and Bruce didn't get home until late but Sophie got home right when I got off the phone. When she saw Mum's incinerated body she was devastated and immediately started crying. Dad picked up Bruce, Amy and Christian and drove them home. We were all devastated but Amy and Sophie where the only ones who were crying however Amy only cried a little bit but Sophie was bawling her eyes out
don't worry, I'm 20 I havne't seen the fox and the hound for years until last time I was watching it with my 7 year old niece, I made her cry because I started tearing like a crazy old lady, my aunt was laughing her ass of as she walked in the two of us crying like babies (well...my niece has an excuse, she's 7 xD I don't)
Screw animated. It's possibly the saddest film ever. It has that hearbreaking parent death that's in so many of these entries, but it also has child death
Ah, you guys also forgot an earlier part in Toy Story 3 where each of the toys held each others' hands thinking they were going to burn in the furnace. That got me going as well!
Well, the original stories that each are based on are even worse so it makes sense that they be sad. "The Fox and The Hound" is only a hunt for Todd, and if I recall correctly, "The Lion King" is based on "Hamlet".
That is exactly why I didn't watch the last movie. I found out what happened from a friend of mine. I said hell no, I am not going to watch that because I WILL cry.
Me too. Though, the moment that really got me was when the toys were in the garbage incinerator and they all grabbed hands and prepared to die. I literally said "WOW", when I got choked up by this moment and was amazed by Pixar having the guts to end it that way...then it didn't. Still a great ending/movie however.
Ryan Kwong seriously, I was only six when I saw the lion king and my room turned in a facking aquarium when Mufasa died. Good thing timon and pumbaa could cheer me up after that
