Lampwick's transformation in PINOCCHIO. One of the most terrifying sequences in any film.

In Peggy Lee's autobiography, she says that she's the one who convinced Walt to let Trusty survive in LADY & THE TRAMP.

her story about it was so sad that it made me start cryin all over again!

The little guy that I work with watches Disney movies non stop. He is mostly non-verbal, so I can't ask him what his favorite parts are, but he lets us know what upsets him. He has a high pitched cry with real tears when all the other toys are picking on Woody after he pushes Buzz out the window. He also does it when the cart runs over Trusty. Ohhh, and there is a scene in one of the Pooh movies were Eeyore falls. He just howls.

When I was younger I used to watch Bambi again and again, three times a day or something. And I always ran out when the sad scene came, would start a conversation with someone, and then as soon as the sad music stopped I'd stop talking in mid-sentence and run back in to watch the rest.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Baby Mine is the song/scene from Dumbo where he goes to visit his mom and he swings on her trunk right? That's the worst!

Ditto the Fox and the Hound. Watched it once, never could again.

Mufasa's death is sad, but I didn't cry.

While not devestating, as I got older, I always started to cry near the end of Little Mermaid when Triton said "how much I'm going to miss her."

I never had a problem with Bambi...don't know why

The leopard killing the baby ape in Tarzan is also sad.

OH MY GOD, the "Dumbo" scene where she rocks him back and forth on her trunk . . . the saddest thing EVER!!

Mufasa's death when Simba is trying to wake him up-that gets me even now.

When Dumbo visits his mother and she swings him-when I first saw it I didn't cry but I did a few years later when I saw it again.

I got a bit teary eyed at the end of Fox and the Hound.

I'm a huge Cinderella fan, so when her dress gets torn apart and she runs through all the dark rooms in the house that gets to me.

Also in Pooh's Heffalump movie they all tell Roo that he's too little to go on a heffalump hunt and he walks away so sad, that almost had me crying.

I'm going to be the oddball and mention a computer animation film: the beginning scene in Finding Nemo where they all die and Marlin goes and picks up Nemo's little egg and says "I'll take care of you...nemo" heartbreaking I tell you!

I love Finding Nemo. The scene that always gets me is when Dory tells Marlin "I look at you and I'm...I'm home. I don't want to forget" and Marlin says "I'm sorry, Dory but...I do."
And speaking of Pixar, I think their most devastating scene is in Toy Story 2: "When She Loved Me." Always destroys me. Always.

Other Than that Fox and the Hound and Bambi

The beginning of Oliver and Company.

I cried in Brother Bear when the Bear finds out his mother died.

Was 'All Dogs go to Heaven' Disney? I don't think it was, but pretty much the whole movie tears me up...

While Bambi and Dumbo are very sad, they didn't affect me nearly as much when I was little as when Cinderella's stepsisters tear her dress apart. It was so hard for me to watch that scene. I think as a kid I was just so shocked that anyone could really be that mean.

Also, I actually found myself getting a little teary when Ariel says "I Love you, daddy" at the end of The Little Mermaid when I last watched it. Not terribly sad, but pretty touching.

Ok, so now the cat's out of the bag. I'm an enormous dork.

I bawl as soon as the music starts playing in LAdy and the Tramp. When LAdy is in the pound, my heart breaks. I am a huge dog love and to even think that they were mean to Tramp makes my eyes water.

Fox and the hound is Damn sad, you all know so i don't have to explain.

No one answered my question...is Baby Mine the scene with Dumbo and mommy I was referring to? It just...I never cried so much in a Disney movie and so many people put "Baby Mine" so I thought it might be the same.

I've never seen Lady and the Tramp.

All Dogs Go To Heaven wasn't Disney.

I don't know; I wasn't very upset by these things when I was younger. The stuff in Cinderella, Bambi's mom dying--didn't phase me. All these scenes I listed were ones I saw when I was older.

Yes it is. I haven't watched Dumbo is years (I may never watch it again), so my memory is skewed, but isn't she put down for protecting him? Or am I completely misremembering it?

No, Dumbo's mother is just placed in a holding cell. She and Dumbo are reunited at the end after he has become a flying superstar and are even given their own private coach on the circus train.

The Seven Dwarfs crying over Snow White's dead(sort of) body. When Grumpy starts crying, you know it's sad.

Baby Mine of course. When Dumbo start crying into her trunk.

Mufasa's death of course.

Alice singing in the woods in Alice in Wonderland. That's pretty sad.

Vin Diesel singing "The Peter Pan Dance" in "The Pacifier". I was switching channels and had the bad luck of hitting STARZ just as that scene was playing. I was devastated. It was truly awful and the next 10 minutes were just as bad. And this was directed by the man who is directing the new "Hairspray" film. I switched to more uplifting things like the news on CNN.

I've only cried to two movies in my life, and Fox and the Hound was the first. That movie is so depressing.

Now that I think about it, the scene in Alice in Wonderland where she's singing "Very Good Advice" after that freakin' dog sweeper thing screws up her path is pretty depressing.

I've never been much of a cryer watching Disney movies. It's been years since I've seen Dumbo, and I never cried watching the Lion King or Bambi....or Fox and the Hound. If I watched them now, I probably would since I'm a more emotional person now that I'm older.
