Saddest Moments in Pixar Movies

These moments make us break out in tears. Let us share them.
The Top Ten
1 Ellie Dies (Up)

Inside Out is the saddest Pixar movie because it's sad throughout. The saddest Pixar SCENE, on the other hand... the rest of the movie is so cute, but this is just depressing.

It shows the ups and downs of a couple's life so beautifully and also the background music matches the scenes and makes it even more perfect!
Kind of thing you can't find in movies easily let alone animations...

I don't think I have ever seen such a sadder moment in Pixar movies than Ellie's death. I don't think even Inside Out (though it is a sad movie as well) comes as close as to how sad that scene was. I almost cried the first time I saw it. :'(

Personally I think that this scene is one of the best-crafted scenes of any movies...Ever

2 Andy Gives Away His Toys (Toy Story 3)

This part is very sad

3 Riley Can't Be Happy and Runs Away (Inside Out)

This is sadder then toy story 3 because this is a girl who is not yet a teenager but is depressed. I got sad at this part.

The part when she returns home made me cry TWICE! Those were the ONLY times I cried in a form of media.

4 Sulley Says Goodbye to Boo (Monsters, Inc)
5 Jessie's Backstory (Toy Story 2)

The ending of Toy Story 3 is kinda overhyped compared to this scene. Yes, that was emotional and sad, but in the end it was still a happy scene. Jessie's backstory is nothing but tragic

6 Opening Seen (Finding Nemo)
7 Miguel Sings Remember Me to Mama Coco (Coco)

God this is sad.

8 Buzz Learns He is a Toy (Toy Story)
9 Wall-E Doesn't Remember Eve (Wall-E)
10 Bing Bong Dies (Inside Out)
The Contenders
11 Doc's Story (Cars)
12 Merida Rips the Family Tapestry (Brave)
13 Hector Fading Away (Coco)

I cried so hard in this scene this is the first pixar movie to make me cry three times

14 Dory Finds Her Parents (Finding Dory)
15 The Incinerator (Toy Story 3)
16 The Story of Radiator Springs (Cars)
17 Anger Asks If He Can Swear (Inside Out)
18 McQueen's Crash (Cars 3)
19 Mufasa's Death (Lion King)
20 McQueen Helps the King (Cars)

Sad. Just hearing him say "it's just an empty cup", a powerful message that we should always play fair.

21 Woody and Buzz are Separated (Toy Story 4)
22 Carl Looks Through Ellie's Adventure Book (Up)

Her death was sad but this moment, feels like a train hit me.

23 Kitty Has to Go (Monsters Inc.)
24 The Toys Almost Die in a Fire (Toy Story 3)
25 Arlo and Spot Part Ways (The Good Dinosaur)
