The "favorite Disney moments" thread got me thinking about this. Here are mine:
*"Baby Mine." I can't even hear the song without falling apart.
*The opening of the pound scene in Lady and the Tramp. I watched it a few weeks ago and I was reduced to a sobbing mess.
*The opening of Oliver & Company. It's so sad watching all the kittens get homes except for Oliver...still can't watch that without crying, either...
*And the penultimate: Bambi.

Well..
~"Goodbye may seem forever" From the Fox and the Hound
~"Best Friends" from the Fox and the Hound
~When Copper helps Todd when they are older in The Fox and the Hound
~The END Of the Fox and the Hound is the worst. UCH!
Basically all of The Fox and the Hound.
Edit: Oh ya, I forgot when I was younger I hated in Dumbo, when he would get seperated from his mother and *I Think* she dies.

The end of Beauty and the Beast.
Are we just talking about animated Disney films?

Fox and the Hound really is one of the saddest movies... I saw it when I was 9 or 10 and I haven't been able to watch it since.
And I'm with you on Baby Mine. I can't even think about that scene without getting teary eyed.
Mufasa's death will always kill me.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:06amBaby Mine, Mufasa's Death, and Bambi's Mother's Death all pretty much traumatized me as a kid.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:22amBambi's mother's death could have been worse. I read on imdb that they were originally going to have him come back and find her in a pool of blood.

I got a lump in my throat when Eric chose Vanessa over Ariel and she's seen sobbing on the dock, and when Pocahontas and John Smith wave each other farewell.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:36amApparently in Lady and the Tramp, when Jock finds Trusty under the dogcather's wagon and howls over him, it was originally written that Trusty died in that scene. Walt apparently demanded that Trusty be put in the epilogue and just suffered an injured leg after he saw it. The fallout over Bambi was a big part of the decision...

Rose, that totally ruins the movie for me.

To answer your question, neddyfrank, I hate it when artists (and I consider filmmakers artists) alter their work to appease the masses.
[I've read that George Lucas doesn't use a test audience and I admire him for that.]

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:53amThat just reminded me of that scene from Lady and the Tramp with all of the round-eyed, crying dogs in the pound. I must have repressed that scene, it tore me up so much as a kid.

Walt died on December 15, 1966. The regular broadcast of The Wonderful World of Disney, which aired three days after Walt died, was shown as a tribute to him. It was titled Disneyland Around the Seasons, and included the openings of “It's a Small World” and New Orleans Square, along with Walt showing the plans for Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln, Primeval World and Pirates of the Caribbean, followed by a performance of the Christmas Fantasy parade. An announcement preceded the broadcast, and at the end, an animated Mickey placed flowers at the entrance to Cinderella's castle, and they faded to black while "When You Wish Upon A Star" played out.
I was young, and it was my first encounter with the concept of real death. I honestly felt like one of my few safe havens in the storm was taken away, and I was inconsolable for days. To this day, if I stand at the statue of he and Mickey in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland, I cry.

SM2 - with all due respect, I think there might be a difference between pandering, and making alterations out of a sincere concern for the effect something would have on children. He was always a father, first and foremost, and he simply couldn't do something that he knew would tramatize a child to that extent.
I wish more felt that way now.

Do you mean "ultimate"?
#21re: Most devastating Disney scenes
Posted: 8/26/06 at 2:08amYeah, probably.
#22re: Most devastating Disney scenes
Posted: 8/26/06 at 2:11amI think she does. Penultimate means second to last.

Gosh, I cried during all of those moments too! I was such a sissy as a kid when it came to movies. Some other ones were:
-In Beauty and the Beast, when the Beast watches the last petal fall from the enchanted rose.
-Some of the scenes in Homeward Bound are pretty tragic
-In Hunchback, when Esmerelda sings "God Bless the Outcast"
-The beginning of Tarzan
ahmelie: Are you implying that twinkies and lesbians are bad? BITCH!

I have to agree with the opening of Oliver and Company. Oliver is also the cutest and out of the group how could all of those mean people pick other ones! And then leave him out in the rain!
Yeah I cry at that part every time.
