Top 10 Saddest Disney Movie Moments

Oh my god, it was so sad. They couldn't even have kids, and that moment when she passes the book to Carl - oh my god, that was the saddest part.

This is the scene at the beginning, people. The scene where the first ten minutes of the movie make you cry? Yeah, that's it.

I dare you not to get emotional during this scene. You can't do it. It's just so sad!

This is so sad I can't even read about it, let alone watch it, without envisioning Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Voldemort, Darth Vader, Osama Bin Laden, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, Ingrid Newkirk, and Cinderella's stepmother all crying hysterically at the same time over it!

This is so sad. This should be number one. The problem is, who is Man, the villain? People think it's Gaston or Judge Doom. I just want to know.

I personally think this is one of the top saddest moments in Disney history. Why isn't it in the top 5?

It's a pity Dumbo had to leave his mother right after she finished singing her lullaby to him. Apparently, it isn't absurd enough that he was put in both the worst circus act ever (a blatant disaster involving every elephant in the herd except his mother) and the worst clown act ever!

This should be number one. In this scene, Dumbo goes to see his mom after she gets locked up for trying to protect him. Though he can't actually see her, the only part he can see is her trunk. She rocks him back and forth, all while tears fill his eyes.

Ok, it might sound weird, but remember when Prince Florian took her to the castle in the clouds? Well, wouldn't it make sense that she died and went to Heaven? Yeah, most likely that's what Walt was representing, and she's my favorite Disney character, so yeah, this is just sad, y'all.

I can't believe it. This scene was so sad!

This scene almost made me sob. Seeing the dwarfs crying silently while bowing their heads down in shame at Snow White makes me want to tear my heart out.

Truly heartbreaking. Coral valiantly tries to save the eggs from a barracuda. Marlin tries to help but gets knocked out. When he awakes, he finds Coral and all of the eggs gone. Upset by it all, he starts crying, then he finds the only surviving egg, which he names Nemo and vows that he will always protect him.

Marlin gets hit and falls to his anemone. Coral tries to save the entire egg colony but ends up getting eaten by the barracuda. Marlin grabs Nemo's egg and says, "It's okay, daddy's got you." That's so sad.

I always tear up a bit at this scene, seeing someone as kind-hearted as Geppetto weeping inconsolably over Pinocchio's dead body. Imagine poor Geppetto's reaction when he woke up after escaping from Monstro and found Pinocchio dead.

It's not just Geppetto's sobbing for his son that gets to me. Seeing Jiminy Cricket, Cleo, and especially sweet Figaro crying for Pinocchio is just heartbreaking. At least we get a small, funny moment when Pinocchio awakens from the dead as a real boy, and Geppetto says, "Lie down, Pinocchio, you're dead."

It is sad because it was perfect. No dialogue, just slow, sad music and nothing but a man walking to what is supposedly the end of his life.

Okay, okay. This scene is VERY forgotten, but it makes me cry a lot. In my opinion, it's sadder than "Baby Mine." I wish I could include it on this list.

In this scene, Dumbo ends up being a clown. After his first performance, people already love him! But Dumbo is still not happy. While the clowns are celebrating Dumbo, he's outside with Timothy Mouse, who says, "Look! They love ya so much, they're celebrating you, pal!" Dumbo is just sitting there, so lonely and sad, sniffling and crying. Timothy says, "Oh buddy, don't be like that! You're a sensation!" But Dumbo still sits there, sad and lonely.

It makes me feel bad for him every time. So that's my opinion for the #1 saddest Disney moment.

It is sad, but at least he came back to life as a human.

Everything else on this list is "just" a cartoon. This is as real as it gets. Everyone loved that ol' Yeller dog!

I have not seen this in years, but I still remember when Old Yeller is killed. I cry because I think of my dog being killed or taken away from me.

Watching an innocent young girl asking for a way back home is heartbreaking, especially the flashback scene where she says, "Hi, I'm Dory, can you get me home?" (or something like that) to a couple of fish. Then after she turns around, she asks the same question, not knowing she already asked.

"Take her to the moon for me." - Bing Bong. That scene was so sad!

This is the saddest moment of any movie ever.

I cried. It was very sad. I wish I could say more.

I know that he got it back at the end of the film, but I still thought that losing it was pretty sad.

After almost being burned at the stake, Quasimodo saves Esmeralda and later sets her on a bed. But then, he runs back, happily shouting, "WE WON! Come and see, Esmeralda!" But Esmeralda does not wake up, and Quasimodo starts to sob.

The reason why I didn't include the Feast of Fools is because, when you see how good of friends they've become, and then suddenly one is just gone out of nowhere, it makes you want to cry!

I can relate to this! Losing a family member can be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. My grandfather died of brain cancer, and I didn't know he was even in the hospital, so I cried my eyes out!

I saw the movie in theaters...
And this is heartbreaking when Hiro's brother dies from the fire that caused the campus explosion. Again, very sad.

*SPOILER ALERT*
Hiro lost his parents, and now his brother... When he died, I almost shouted, "Disney, what do you have against happy families?"

This reminds me of my little stuffed duck I've had since I was born. Now, he's all torn up and has no stuffing.

It reminds me of growing up. You have to grow up someday, kids.

This got me crying because I grew up a wee boy playing and watching Toy Story, to the point where I have collectibles today.

That heartbreaking part made my heart hurt. Imagine what would happen if your brother or sister wasn't around you.
