Yeah, it was seven, because seven is the lucky number.

There there Gonads, don't let the sadness of the swamp get to you.

I remain unable to sit through any version of king kong to this day.

Flight of Dragons - When Smrgol dies, broke my heart as a kid.

And, of course, this...

Aw cripes, yes this. I could have filled a kitchen sink with the bawling I did over that.

Supermannn.

Very much this.

I cried every minute of this film

Jessie's song in Toy Story 2




And of course, most of Toy Story 3...damn you Pixar! Damn you!

I agree with most of these, especially Old Yeller and some of the early scenes from Up, which if you have not seen yet, I highly recommend as a "must see" movie. The hardest part with some of these movie moments is seeing them in a movie theatre and hearing the little kids around you crying that sort of heartbroken sob that only they seem to manage. Much like a baby chuckling with a deep sort of belly laugh, both are pretty hard to resist.

One movie that I have not seen mentioned yet was the movie Homeward Bound, both during the scene where the people are looking for their littll girl lost in the woods and at the end when the animals are showing up at the new house. Both of those moments were very emotional in a happy/sad sort of way.

Other very sad movie moments in "childrens" movies would be in "Dumbo" when he is taken to see his mother while she is shackled up and she can just reach him with her trunk; the death of the Spider in Charlotte's Web and more recently the death of Aslan in the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the With and the Wardrobe.

A couple of older movies that are family films with various sad moments are "How Green was my Valley" and "The Yearling" both of which have moments that can choke you up.

I think either the Iron Giant (even with the cliffhanger) or Up were pretty sad.

Yeah, not sure how this never got mentioned, but, All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Saddest thing ever.

^ never seen it. Should I bother?

Yes

When Leonaidas died at the end of 300.

When S club 7 music was used right at the end of 'Thunderpants'.

I think this part in The Lion King is pretty sad. I mean, this scene is so emotionally powerful. I think it's the whole idea of a son finally taking his father's place after such adversity. Even if it has a happy ending, this scene gets to me every time. That amazing musical score by Hans Zimmer really completes it.

Huh. Some of these (300) aren't really kids movies....

Darth Bob, gotta agree with yu on that one!

I was way too young to be watching it, but I got a little choked up when the T800 goes into the molten steel at the end of T2.

I had the exact same reaction after I realized I'd payed 8 dollars to see Terminator 3.

Not exactly a kids movie , but watched it when i was little , and always remembered this

Not a dry eye in the house.

Oh wow, same. The music and his final thumbs up :( Nooo.

Grave of the Fireflies.

This is a must see for any one, and I declair that any one who doesn't get even the smallest snuffly is a person whom has no soul.

End of.

I still stick by both lion king videos (show from darthbob and me)

(OT: saddest moment in a TV show is end of mash)

The only "kids" movie I've cried at was Finding Nemo. Right at the end, when Nemo swims off then swims back to say "I love you dad." I die everytime.

Guys, if you want to keep this going by posting saddest moment in any movie go ahead.

When Ray dies in The frog princess, my kids started crying!!!!!

^ Who is Ray?

its' a fairly obscure movie, but this scene from the Brave Little Toaster isn't just sad, it's genuinely depressing. Watching anthropomorphic cars singing about their lives before they were "Worthless," and then watching them get crushed into cubes while the other cars watch is just grim. There are little touches that make it terrifying: the way the car's eyes widen in shock, seeing cars trying to steer themselves off the conveyor belt, and ironically the fairly up tempo nature of the song.
