Fucking hell, Pixar!!!!!! *MNHQ tweaked title*

Just watched the first 15 minutes of Up! for the first time. I am a BROKEN WOMAN!! I didn’t think anything could be worse than Disney killing Bambi’s mum, and here it is. Please tell me I’m not the only one?!

I caught the last ten mins of this at Christmas. I was a WRECK.

I remember going with DH to the cinema totally unknowing to watch UP

We both were weeping after the first 15 !

I’ve not seen Up since the first 15 minutes played out in my life. I don’t even allow myself to think about it.

I made the mistake of watching this in the cinema, while pregnant. Sobbing doesn't cover it, I completely lost it

does anyone remember that Raymond Briggs animation ( Granpa ? ) where the little girl plays make believe with her Grandad. He dies and she is left alone ! I still haven't got over it and it was over 20 yrs ago.that I saw it !

Nah I’ve fallen out with films like this. There is no need for these depths of emotional sucker punches in children’s films. Frozen 2 where she is sobbing uncontrollably in the cave is horrendous. As is the beginning of Finding Nemo and the toys in Toy Story holding hands and saying goodbye as they’re heading to fiery furnace… I know we all think it’s normal now but there is just no need for it. You can still have the necessary peril in children’s films without it being so dark.

I absolutely cried at Up. Love that film.

On the other hand, I just didn't think Bambi was that sad

I went to see Up with a friend & her daughter.

Adults all in floods. Small kids not at all bothered.

Inside out 2 trailer looks like it’ll be hard for me to watch… I have 2 12yos 🙈

Definitely one that glosses past most children.

As a childless not by choice adult it left me absolutely emptied of tears and a complete mess.

That said, it's beautifully done and completely resonated with me and my history of miscarriage.

But I do fast forward over the pregnancy and baby loss scenes when I've watched it again!

Nooo you have to see it through, not give up so soon! It's wonderfully heartwarming.

Oh, it's beautiful, isn't it. And it gave me a beautiful moment with my autistic son when he was a teenager.
At the time he was so controlling, so rigid, so unable to act on any awareness he may have had of others' feelings that for a while I worried about the possibility of emotional coldness - the false cliche about autism according to which people with autism lack empathy. And then he mentioned that opening sequence (he had seen the film alone). He spoke of how moving it was and I knew what I would never have doubted if it wasn't for so many appalling meltdowns. I knew his loving warmth.
It was plentifully evident later, but at that time his enjoyment of that sequence was a kind of talisman for me.

Yes! I remember that!
I've never got over The Snowman. Left me traumatised over Christmas as a kid!

We saw it in the cinema the day after our beautiful 6 year old golden retriever had been allowed to pass on the operating table when it was clear that his spleen cancer was too far progressed.
Holy hell! Every bit of that damn film had us sobbing uncontrollably.

Bing Bong was absolutely bloody devastating. Just thinking about it now brings me to tears!

My sister went with me to cheer me up after a difficult few months TTC and a miscarriage. It has fallen into the 'we will never talk of this again' category.

Inside out does it for me - i read the concept brief for it years before it came out and was looking forward to it for years. It released on the day our little girl was stillborn. The opening scene where they depict the emergence of a new consciousness absolutely ruins me, everytime.

My favorite is Wall E, to create such an involving, immersive kids film with no dialogue for the first 20 minutes is an astonishing testament to the skill of the animators and story tellers.

I haven't got past the first15 mins only once never again. Ever.

Yes!!! The sad at the start isn't countered by the rest of the film. It's heartbreaking

Agree. Absolutely brilliant. I rewatched it one evening when my young adult son was meant to be getting home around midnight. Didn't turn up and no contact from him. All fine the next day - but blimey it really increases my response to the tension in the rest of the film.

See, now, this is what I thought would happen. DH and I had seen it years ago so knew the start was devastating, but were under the impression kids would be unaffected. 15 minutes and one traumatised 4 year old later proved us wrong 😬 Took us ages to talk DD down. "But mummy, I want her to be alive again and have her babies 😭"

Up has nothing on Coco. I can't even talk about that film without crying.

I luckily saw it for the first time when I was at home but I knew my sister had seen it in the cinema, she said all the adults were trying to stifle their crying. I thought how bad can it be? It was like a physical punch. Tangled came second when he cut off her hair.

I have yet to see Coco because of how everyone comments on how emotional it is.

Coco didn't really bother me

Me too. My 96 yr old Grandad had just died and at the funeral his Mum was mentioned and I found myself thinking what was she like, why didn't I ask about her? A century between us and we both loved the same person. Then i saw Coco a week later and realised no one on this earth remembered her now. It really genuinely upset me, I haven't watched it since.
