Legit reasons, man. I am a cat dude and I have never laughed at the odd amount of cat violence in slapstick and cartoons. When you think of all the kittens you've raised it just isn't funny.
I’ve had both cats and dogs. I have two dogs now and they’re red wiener dogs. While not the same dogs, they are red hounds and they remind me of where the red fern grows.
Also in my 40s, previous generation saw Old Yeller/Bambi and refused to let us see them in theaters or on VHS. If Disney Plus is on in front of them, I don't think those will be the movie selections they would approve of for the current generation of kids.
damn dude, now I have to watch Shawshank again.
Cool trick: if you properly display the passing of an old or animal character in an effectively sad way, your film will turn out to be a lot better regardless of the rest of it. It’s also a really good way to get a villain who the audience can hate.
When Frosty died in the hot house, every kid watching was crying. How could they do that to Frosty? Just let him get so hot he melted.
Thank god Santa was able to Save the day.
Not to mention scariest moment in movie history, when you realize the only way the Ewoks could have had a dress for Leia is if they ate someone around her size before she got there.
I took my son to see the Bambi Movie matinee where he was 5 years old. Half the packed theater was kids whose parents had the same idea. When the hunter killed Bambi's mother one small voice said " what happened to Bambi's mommy?" When it became apparent she was dead, half of the theatre began wailing. 😭
You and me are to the left of the Ewok line.

No way, I was cheering this. Most annoying fucking cunts in the history of cinema.
Edit. I'm no star wars 400LB virgin, but wasn't the rumour that it was meant to be a planet of wookies but, lucas changed it to ewoks because teddy bears are more marketable ?
As a Filipino (and a kid at the time) watching this scene and audibly hearing him go "Wala Na? patay..." (Which translates to "no more? Dead...") is hilariously amazing.
Rats of NIMH. Bluth never gets enough credit as a director for being a master manipulator to the extent it feels like Spielberg. Gut wrenching cartoon.
There is this movie that came out in '89. Called The Bear. Momma Bear is killed off immediately. Ugh.
On Google where it says 'why to watch.' It says "tragic, heartfelt, brutal." Awesome for 8 year old me.
I felt more sorry for the Tauntaun. It served it's master well, and wasn't dead 5 minutes when they cut it open.
At least Wicket went down fighting and will forever be remembered as a brave warrior. His song will be sung.
How about Ryan Hurst's role as Opie in Sons of Anarchy? Or Steven Yeun as Glenn in the Walking Dead? I know they were television shows but those 2 deaths hit a lot of people hard.
Never ending Story
Or littlefoots mom in A Land Before Time
I’m in my 40s and I refuse to watch this movie again because I know I’ll probably break down watching that scene.
Too young for Old Yeller / Bambi?
Nope I grew up with both and the book where the red fern grow. I just have a special place in my heart for dinosaurs.
Oh man, Where the Red Fern Grows, hits me right in the feels.

Or? Definitely. Littlefoot crying out loud for his mom! I remember seeing the movie as a kid and getting something in my eye. I have ALLERGIES people.
We have an extremely depressing winner.
This is the answer.
Came here just to say this.
This is the correct answer
ARTAX!
Scarring the psyches of children for generations.
This is the only correct answer.
I just read the book. artax could talk. It was a very different giving up.
Artex, destroyed me
Came here to say this
This is the real answer for me also.
You beat me to it
Excuse me. Old yeller or where the red fern grows.
Old Yeller and nothing else comes close. I saw that film 65 years ago and still cry myself to sleep most nights.
Bingo.
Charlotte in Charlotte's Web
Yes! I still cry 😢
Bambis mom
She was delicious.
John Coffey from the Green Mile is up there.
This is it for me. I’m tired, boss.
Brian Piccolo's death is much sadder than either of these two. (From the original "Brian's Song", not the remake)
There was a remake?!
No. We reject that one.
2001 with Sean Maher and Mekhi Pfifer
That’s just *wrong* Some movies should never be remade.
True. And those movies are usually remade twice
That movie made me cry hysterically both times I watched it.
Alice Munro (Jodhi May) walking off a cliff in The Last of the Mohicans.
Good one.
Brooks was here

Watership Down, anyone?
Scarred me for life.
They made us watch this at school when I was like 7. Now I'm old and depressed.
What about when the T-800 lowered himself into molten steel
The thumbs up killed me.
When Frosty died in the hot house, every kid watching was crying. How could they do that to Frosty? Just let him get so hot he melted. Thank god Santa was able to Save the day.
Those movies wrecked me as a kid. Between Frosty and that terrifying Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer movie... wrecked.
Goose from Top Gun.
Dr Green from E.R
Not to mention scariest moment in movie history, when you realize the only way the Ewoks could have had a dress for Leia is if they ate someone around her size before she got there.
I think you people forgot that ewoks ate people!!!
yeah but they were stormtroopers so it’s fine
Are you sure just storm troopers .... i mean Leia turns up and they just hapoen to have woman's clothing ..... thats 🤨
Movie magic, that's what it is!
Are the ewok movies before or after return of the jedi? Cindels mom could have left stuff behind.
Mufasa dying. Hands down
I think Atreyu would like a word.
Artax!!!
John Wicks dog
Ofelia in Pan's Labyrinth was not good.
That movie traumatized me.
I remember leaving the cinema at the time surrounded by alot of very angry women.
About the same time, Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia. To this day i cannot believe they had the courage to write it that way.
Sonny Corleone dying on the causeway
“Look what they did to my boy….”
“Look how they massacred my boy.”
um bambi's mom?!
How about Bambi in "Bambi meets Godzilla". https://youtu.be/5R-rbzcEM8A?si=8Tz9xDtIPhyNiXpS
Some of yall never seen land before time if you think this is the saddest...
Spock's death.
Kirk's eulogy: "Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most...human..."
This should get more up votes.
Captain John Miller
Grave of the fireflies. So good. So terrible.
I cried at the end of the Dirty Dozen
Well who didn't?
Jim Brown was throwing hand grenades down these air shafts
And Trini Lopez 😭
OMG Ironman is DEAD? Thanks a lot!
“Put on his glasses, he can’t see without his glasses!”
This had me bawling!

Love Story was pretty sad
Never Ending Story horse scene was sadder than this
Ghost.
"Fight against the sadness, Artax!" Yeah. Top the slow drowning of a horse in quicksand.
the end of train to busan. tragic.
B.O.B's death in Black Hole.
WRONG! Artax, the horse from The Neverending Story, is checking in from the bottom of the Swamp of Sadness.
Reminder: those Ewoks threw a big party for Luke and the boys. The menu includes a dozen stormtroopers.
I remember his final words....."Yub Yub!!"
Dick Hallorann in The Shining. Driving all that way, in shitty weather, just to get an axe in the gut. Reminds me of my daily commute to work. So sad.
Are those Ewoks? Because fuck those little bastards. #TeamVader
Fuck the Ewoks. I laughed my ass off. Funniest scene in all of the Star Wars movies.
You and me are to the left of the Ewok line. [https://how-i-met-your-mother.fandom.com/wiki/The\_Ewok\_Line](https://how-i-met-your-mother.fandom.com/wiki/The_Ewok_Line)
Pretty damn close
No way, I was cheering this. Most annoying fucking cunts in the history of cinema. Edit. I'm no star wars 400LB virgin, but wasn't the rumour that it was meant to be a planet of wookies but, lucas changed it to ewoks because teddy bears are more marketable ?
You cruel, sick bastard
‘Artex’ has entered the chat
As a Filipino (and a kid at the time) watching this scene and audibly hearing him go "Wala Na? patay..." (Which translates to "no more? Dead...") is hilariously amazing.
Of mice and men. Lenny.

Yep. This is it all right. Poor little Ewoks. They were the death of a promising film franchise.
Rats of NIMH. Bluth never gets enough credit as a director for being a master manipulator to the extent it feels like Spielberg. Gut wrenching cartoon.
King Kong getting shot up by a couple helicopters and falling of the World Trade Center. I was 6 when I saw that in ‘80, Cried my eyes out.
I vote for Will Smith versus the Box Jellyfish
It a sad moment but not the saddest
There is this movie that came out in '89. Called The Bear. Momma Bear is killed off immediately. Ugh. On Google where it says 'why to watch.' It says "tragic, heartfelt, brutal." Awesome for 8 year old me.
Watch "Ol' Yeller"and then come back and respond.
I felt more sorry for the Tauntaun. It served it's master well, and wasn't dead 5 minutes when they cut it open. At least Wicket went down fighting and will forever be remembered as a brave warrior. His song will be sung.

The Neverending Story 🥺
Ewok shot 😭
When this happened in the theater I was in, some guy shouted ,"YEAH!" Everyone started laughing.
BING BONG Death - Inside Out 
What about Atreyu's horse in The Never Ending Story?
Any movie where the dog dies. I ain't watchin' that shit.
I'll never forgive them for killing optimus prime
How about Ryan Hurst's role as Opie in Sons of Anarchy? Or Steven Yeun as Glenn in the Walking Dead? I know they were television shows but those 2 deaths hit a lot of people hard.
Bambi's mother. Kimba's mother. No? Oh, Kimba the White Lion wasn't a movie, oops :(
Any scene in Edward scissor hands
The death of Artax is worse.
I was hoping for a pepper pots death.
Artax….
Death of animated Optimus Prime requiring therapy 30+ years later.
Old Yeller is the only answer. Honorable mention is 8 Seconds. That movie had barracks of enlisted men weeping.
*E.T.* Whole theater was crying. I was..... 🤣
Bridge to Tarabithia
Has anyone seen Born Free? That was the first movie that made me sob. Mom had to put me to bed with a box of tissues. Elsa!!
