Top 10 Saddest Pixar Movies

Saddest. Ten. Minutes. Ever.

Even the house on balloons couldn't make me happy. My heart melted and exploded when Carl leaves Paradise Falls with the two chairs for him and Ellie.

Please stop for an ice cream break. When Carl gives the grape soda bottle cap that Ellie gave him to Russell, it was almost as emotional and sad as the first scene. But nothing beats the first ten minutes.

The fact that Pixar movies are so sad makes us love them even more (especially Up). I give Up an A+. Pixar has the ability to create intensely emotional moments, like the five emotions. Cars 2 is literally underrated because, as Bobsheaux says, Cars 2 can be emotional.

Oh my god. Where do I start?

There are five emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear. After Sadness touched Riley's memories, Joy and Sadness went on a journey with the core memories that form five islands: Goofball, Friendship, Hockey, Honesty, and Family Island. With the core memories, Joy and Sadness try to get back to the emotion tower, but they run into Riley's imaginary friend, Bing Bong. The three of them team up to focus on Riley. Riley was always in a bad mood because Fear, Disgust, and Anger were in charge of her emotions.

Anyway, back to the three musketeers. Four islands crash because of the three in the tower, and there is a lot of crying because of the memories. Joy tries to get back in time but falls into the dungeon, followed by Bing Bong, where all the forgotten memories are. Joy cries because she misses all the forgotten memories Riley had. Then she has an idea. She decides to get back up by the rocket, but Bing Bong is too big to fit, so Joy goes by herself. As she exclaims, "Bing Bong, we did it!" Bing Bong magically disappears in the dungeon, leaving Joy crying.

Meanwhile, Riley hates San Francisco and decides to run away back to Minnesota, her original home. Joy must do something fast, so she finds Sadness for help. Sadness is on a cloud, and Family Island is about to crash down. There is a trampoline, so Joy bounces on it, grabs Sadness, and they make it back to the tower. Sadness is the only one who can bring Riley back to her parents. Riley gets off the bus and sadly runs back home. Her parents run to her and ask if she's alright. Because Sadness touched the core memories, Riley thinks about all the memories and begins to cry about her original home and all the fun she had. Her parents tell her that they miss Minnesota too. Crying, she hugs her parents.

At the end, there is a little happiness. More than five islands form, and they are new. There is also a hockey game, and Riley scores a goal, just like... more

The whole idea of the Toy Story movies is finding friendship with each other while also being there not only for the other toys but for Andy. These toys were Andy's lifelong friends who would do anything and go to great lengths to be with him. The scene where they are in the trash burner and realize there is no way out, and see that this is the end, is heart-wrenching. They all grab hands for what they think is one last time, and that made me tear up thinking about all the adventures and good times they went through. If that didn't make you cry, they then get saved and get back to Andy. Andy makes a decision and sees someone who would enjoy and make more use out of his toys because he feels he has neglected them for too long. He gives up his lifelong friends.

When Andy starts pulling out the toys and sees Woody at the bottom of the box, it is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. It takes him a second to look at his very best friend and make his final decision. Not only does he give up his lifelong friends, but he plays with them one last time like he used to, which means the world to these toys. When this part is done, we get one last goodbye from Andy. As Andy drives down the street one more time, Woody looks down the road and says, "So long, partner." Most sad movie ever, hands down. I cry every time.

I have no words to express the beauty of this film. It's heartbreaking and amazing, and I bawled almost the whole time. Of course, I found Up to be much sadder, but I felt that Finding Nemo deserved a little more credit. The lines about how "Daddy's got you, it's okay" and the goodbye at the end, all combined with the brilliant score from Thomas Newman, are just fantastic.

Finding Nemo is a really beautiful movie. I love seeing Nemo and his father finding him and doing everything to find his son.

Immediately direct this to 4th place over the good but not sad Monsters, Inc. and overhyped Wall-E. Tie with Toy Story 3. Up and Inside Out are right.

The saddest scene in the movie is not WALL-E's death, but the scene where AUTO plays an old message showing Shelby Forthright ordering Directive A113 (Do Not Return to Earth) to AUTO.

WALL-E is sad but in a more tragic than sentimental sense. Humans have left Earth, becoming super fat and lazy, and reliant on technology. It reflects a very possible future, and it is not only sad but terrifying.

Just the thought of saving your friend and destroying your life is sad.

Not necessarily depressing, but Miguel's feeling trapped and unable to pursue his dreams, Hector's motives for getting his photo put back, and the idea of being forgotten had me pretty much tearing up. This movie is full of emotion. 20/10, would feel again.

I actually cried a little bit in the theater watching this movie during Hector's backstory and when he was about to be forgotten and Miguel was trying to make Coco remember him. Really amazing movie!

I tried so hard not to cry. If my dad wasn't with me, I would have bawled my eyes out. Probably one of the first movies in a while to make me cry hard.

The ending was emotional. The fact that Boo had to learn a life lesson at her young age - that sometimes "bye" means forever - was a tearjerker.

What's Monsters, Inc. doing below The Good Dinosaur?! The ending is really touching and just reminds us of the times when we had to say goodbye to someone who means so much to us.

Up is sad, but it never made me cry. Monsters, Inc.'s ending made it the best Pixar movie ever made.

I felt this movie on a spiritual level. It was so sad.

This film is so sad that it needs to be on this list twice! Your tears demand it!

I saw this in the cinema three times and cried every single time.

This movie is underrated. I really like it. It's not my favorite Pixar movie, but it was great. The ending and the part where Arlo's dad dies are truly sad.

This one is so sad at the end when they have to leave each other. Really good story though.

This is the first movie to ever make me cry! For me, this should be #1.

I don't understand why people don't think this film is sad. Doc's story was one of the most upsetting moments in Pixar film history.

It's sad in some scenes. I don't understand why some say it isn't a sad film.

This movie made me burst into tears. Beautiful.

Toy Story is actually sad. When Woody admits and especially when Buzz finds out he's just a toy. Absolute drama.

This is the saddest Pixar movie so far, in my opinion. I was born around the same time Toy Story came out. I've grown up knowing these characters my whole life. I felt like I could relate to Andy, especially going to college. That's why Toy Story 3 was the saddest to me for the longest time before Toy Story 4 came out. The reason why this is the saddest to me is because, even though Andy had left, Woody and Buzz were still together. They were there for each other from the beginning, through thick and thin, and throughout my whole life. Seeing them go their separate ways, knowing they'd probably never see each other again, just killed me.

Knowing that Woody and Buzz are going on their separate ways now, and knowing that this is probably the last Toy Story movie that will be made, I felt like the last lingering part of my childhood has faded away with them. Twenty-plus years (my whole life) in the making, leading up to this very ending, I don't see how this could ever be beaten for me. To infinity and beyond, old partners...

This movie reminds me of myself, which doubles the sadness for me. Her parents try to act all encouraging to Dory because they don't want her to think she's a mistake because of her disorder, but they're still scared for her. They think she can't go out on her own. The part where Dory thinks they're dead is just depressing. She's scared and confused until she can't remember why. When she finds them, though, it's pure tears of joy.

Poor Dory, she got separated from her parents!

It's not sad or emotional to everyone, but if you can relate to Helen's experience of feeling that you're being cheated on or someone may be breaking your home, it is sad.

I wish we could see Flik apologize to Atta and the Queen for lying to them about the Circus Bugs being warriors.

The only really sad scene in this movie is when Rod Torque Redline (the American spy agent) gets attacked and then tortured to death. This is for kids, right?
