Saddest moment you've ever seen in a cartoon/animated movie?
"Bambi is a given, but at the time....Pokemon the First Movie.Okay, first rule: NO ONE can answer Bambi.
THAT SHIT IS SAD WHEN YOU'RE 5-7!!"
Aww i was gonna answer bambi..
Dont watch many animated stuff xcept Family guy etc.
But if you've ever see spirit, about horses, theres some sad moments there, but nothing special.
"The end of Snow White and the 7 Dwarves: When the handsome prince breaks the spell by making out with her corpse thus reanimating her."
First amusing thing you've ever said.
"This is what sparked this topic.Dude, that is a great movie.Personally, I think the list is PURE CRAP for one reason . . . The Iron Giant isn't on it. I thought the scene where the Iron Giant flies in to intercept the atomic bomb was incredibly sad. I still tear up when I see it. It's also the exact moment that made me realize that The Iron Giant is one of the best movies ever made.Yours?"
"Fry's dog, Seymour, from Futurama. That's all that needs to be said."Yes, I was initially going to say Ed leaving the crew on Cowboy Bebop, but Seymour from Futurama does seem to edge it out. On the topic of Futurama and sad stories, there is also Fry's brother naming his only son Fry, and Fox's serious finale of Fry trying one last time to get leela by learning the holophone. Ok that last one was more of a general touching moment.
"Fry's dog, Seymour, from Futurama. That's all that needs to be said."Oh Christ. Any time I turn over and that episode is on, I turn off right away. Nothing more embarrassing than being caught unawares by a touching moment. WALL-E definitely needs a place in this list too.
To expound a bit, I thought Seymour on Futurama was heartbreaking. That show had some real layers and heart.
Optimus Prime dying in Transformers the movie killed me when I was a kid. "Prime! You can't die!"
Lilo and stitch.
" Oh my god the first ten minutes of Up was the most soul crushing thing I've seen in a long time. "Why this hasn't been said sooner baffles me. I'm a total hardass (a prick) when it comes to films but this was really sad.
Also the end of Toy Story 3.
" TeflonBilly said:This is the correct answer. How many other animated movies *SPOILER TABS AREN'T WORKING FOR SOME REASON* end with the main characters... who are young children based on real people... starving to death in each other's arms?"Grave Of The Fireflys you uncultured swine!"Yep. I cry every time I see Grave of the fireflies. "
" @MattyFTM said:I think an episode of The Magic Roundabout ended like that. I could be wrong though." TeflonBilly said:This is the correct answer.

""Grave Of The Fireflys you uncultured swine!"Yep. I cry every time I see Grave of the fireflies. "
" that episode of pokemon where pikachu almost left ash for a bunch of other pussy pikachus. "Yep, that one and the episode where Ash let his Butterfree go.
A couple episodes from Code Geass R2 made me tear up.
In Angel Beats!:
Nearly every story arc in Clannad where they reveal a character's past made me cry.
Ushio asking Tomoya about what mommy was like.
Ushio getting the same sickness her mom had.
Ushio dying in Tomoya's arms.
There are more examples, but these are the most prominent in my mind at the moment.
TOY STORY 3 has two CRAZY SAD endings. The fake-out WHERE THE Bear was all "Where is your kid (i.e. God) now?" and then THEY ALL HELD hands before the FIERY INFERNO of fucking TOY hell! For a second I THOUGH THAT'S where it was GONNA END, and Disney was totally MOMENTS AWAY from being both incredibly ballsy AND DESTROYING millions of CHILDHOODS.
Then it turned out to BE FAKE AND THEY HAD the real ending which WAS PRETTY SAD, but still.
@DarkGamerOO7:
Also the REAL ENDING to Calvin and Hobbes IS ONE OF the most FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL things ever conceived. So AMAZINGLY bittersweet.
I didn't not feel sad for Iron Giant, but I did love that movie.
For me, the beginning of Grave of the Fireflies, in retrospect, is sad as fuck.
" @weaponxxx said:Pretty much any Pixar film has at least one sad moment. For me, though, the most powerful and heavy moments were in the final 15 minutes of Toy Story 3. I force myself to not cry in movies, but the end of Toy Story 3 almost pushed me of that edge. Damn, that was, and continues to be, a great work of art." Oh my god the first ten minutes of Up was the most soul crushing thing I've seen in a long time. "Why this hasn't been said sooner baffles me. I'm a total hardass (a prick) when it comes to films but this was really sad. Also the end of Toy Story 3. "
" This is what sparked this topic.When I was a kid, some stuff hit me hard. Recently? I can't think of any. I can appreciate the emotional attempts...it's just that animation makes it hard to really lose yourself. Suspension of disbelief is hard to keep.Personally, I think the list is PURE CRAP for one reason . . . The Iron Giant isn't on it. I thought the scene where the Iron Giant flies in to intercept the atomic bomb was incredibly sad. I still tear up when I see it. It's also the exact moment that made me realize that The Iron Giant is one of the best movies ever made.Yours?"
