There are lots of movie scenes known for being heartbreaking. Many of them involve deaths. But what about the ones that don't?

The Top Ten

    It's harder for me to watch, knowing how Toy Story 4 ends.

  18. "You bow to no one" - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

  19. The Fellowship fragments - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

    Let me picture the scene. Boromir, wanting to deliver the One Ring to Gondor, attacks Frodo, causing Frodo to distrust the Fellowship. Aragorn catches up with Frodo and, along with Gimli and Legolas, fends off a horde of Uruk-hai to give Frodo time to flee and head to Mordor alone.

    Meanwhile, Merry and Pippin are captured after Boromir is slain, and Sam realises Frodo is heading to Mordor alone and nearly drowns trying to catch up. With the Balrog taking Gandalf in Moria, Boromir's death, Merry and Pippin's capture, and Frodo and Sam heading to Mordor alone, Aragorn makes the difficult decision to abandon Frodo's quest to track down Merry and Pippin. Legolas and Gimli go with Aragorn. In a nutshell, the Fellowship has fallen apart.

  20. The dragons leave their owners - How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

    I'm not gonna lie. Outside of death scenes, this has got to be one of the most tear-jerking moments in animation. I was this close to crying the times I watched it.

  21. "Goodbye May Seem Forever" - The Fox and the Hound

  22. "Someone's Waiting for You" - The Rescuers

  23. The pound - Lady and the Tramp
