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 went to see Toy Story 3 when I was pregnant and ugly sobbed at the scene where all the toys are in the incinerator and hold hands while accepting their fate. I felt slightly better when the cinema lights came up and there were quite a few others doing the same thing.

Dumbo does it for me. Just need to hear baby of mine and I'm a mess. Hits a bit too close to home for reasons I won't bore you with but it's the saddest moment in Disneys history for me

Wanttobeok · 28/05/2024 21:54

My husband cried at the start of Up.

But for me nothing will ever be worse than little foots mum in the land before time 😭😭😭

Inside out absolutely devastated me, I grew up with a crap family and no great family memories. The reference to core memories and what they mean. I absolutely sobbed and sobbed. I'm not sure I can go watch the second one at the cinema.

Gosh. I'm so sorry - it must have felt like this for a lot of people.

AngelinaFibres · 28/05/2024 22:32

My husband was a widower when we met. The bit in Up where there is a montage of the old couples life together made him sob. He has cried 4 times in the 23 years I have known him.

Made me cry too. And the bit where Andy goes to college.

Farcis · 28/05/2024 22:38

I saw Up in the cinema as I was recovering from a miscarriage. My best friend was with me, along with a bunch of people who had no idea. She held my hand through the whole film. She’s a good egg.

I’m still not over Bing Bong in Inside Out. Kids were oblivious. The mums were all sobbing into our popcorn.

Oh Bing Bong 😭😭😭😭 "Just one more time, I think we can do it" wail

TokyoSushi · 28/05/2024 22:41

I watched it for the first time when I was about 6 weeks pregnant with DS (first pregnancy) I got to about 10 minutes and was absolutely hysterical, DH had to turn it off. I've never even been able to consider watching it again and DS is almost 13! 😳😭😭😭😭

ClosedBookType · 28/05/2024 22:45

Oh goodness, I’ve never watched Up ( either dodged the cinema, or fell asleep at home in the movie ) but I love Dug Days, quite unreasonably so much 😀

I will now have to watch Up.

PosyPrettyToes · 28/05/2024 22:50

@LindorDoubleChoc you clicked on a thread with Pixar in the title so clearly this was going to be about animation, and then are surprised it’s not grown up….? You could just, you know, not bother reading it if it offends your more sophisticated and glamorous cinematic proclivities.

Now imagine watching it for the first time and you also have your eldest DD named Ellie with you and your Golden Retriever dog is called Doug (Dug). Cos that’s us.

Although, having said that, for every subsequent dog we have had, we also have ‘Squirrel!’ and ‘Dug Ear’, so there is that.

TakingTheHorseToFrance · 28/05/2024 22:50

Yes. I was not long after miscarrying and watched it with Ds1 and OH and I was hysterical. Can't watch it

Don't know of anyone else enticed it but apparently the lead in the paint they used back in the day from their house renovation that caused the miscarriage

PosyPrettyToes · 28/05/2024 22:51

@ZombieBoob oh god me too!! I’d forgotten all about Dumbo!!

Such a ridiculous over-dramatic thread title and OP over a film that was released 15 years ago. I do wish MN would grow up sometimes.

Don't be ridiculous.

Bobbotgegrinch · 28/05/2024 22:54

Me and DD watched How to train your dragon 2 in the cinema,which utterly broke her.

The next morning we chucked Up on, having never seen it before. 15 minutes in I was informed that I was never to pick a film ever ever again, through floods of tears.

It seemed like a good point to be fair!

SoupDragon · 28/05/2024 22:58

Up and Finding Nemo both have awful opening scenes. Not what you want from a cartoon!

goldenlloyd · 28/05/2024 22:59

The last ten minutes of Toy Story 4 are the ones that get me every time. "She'll be okay... Bonnie will be okay."

I wasn't even fussed about the other three films 😂

This movie is now infamous in our family. I teared up, no surprise there. I glanced sideways and saw DS, who'd have been about 7, with tears rolling silently down his cheeks. That was surprising. As I leaned over to put an arm round him, I saw DH sobbing. THAT was unprecedented. He only ever cried at the births of our kids. Only 10yo DD was unmoved, just munching her popcorn 😅

Now DH jokes that he only cries at the births of his children or the deaths of animated imaginary friends.

FixTheBone · 28/05/2024 20:09

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.

Agree …..Wall-E is equally as astonishing…and rapidly becoming reality.

Liquorish · 28/05/2024 23:09

I still cry when Andy gives Woody and gang away in Toy Story 3.

I can’t bring myself to rewatch Dumbo or Bambi again despite barely remembering them.

The Fox and the Hound wins saddest scene of all for me.

purpleme12 · 28/05/2024 23:09

Inside Out was really really sad

RemarkablyBrightCreature · 28/05/2024 23:10

My friend’s DD asked me to watch Up with her when I was babysitting her. I’d just lost my second IVF baby to miscarriage and dh and I were starting to come to terms with a life without children.

I think I scared her a little bit by just how distraught I was at the film 😢😢

Itsalwaysthelasttime · 28/05/2024 23:11

My at the time newish dp suggested watching it I asked is it sad he said no 🤔 it was unbelievably sad.
The only worse day was the day I watched black beauty and ai not a good decision.

WearyAuldWumman · 28/05/2024 23:12

PosyPrettyToes · 28/05/2024 18:26

I was expecting to get my heart stomped on going into it, but NOT THIS!!!

DS has profound SEND and will only watch Moana or Encanto normally so it’s not like I’m a stranger to the whole ‘people die in animated films’ thing, but I actually don’t think I can watch anymore.

Please tell me it gets less sad?!????!

FWIW, I'm a childless widow so you can imagine how it hit me. However, it does get less sad. Keep watching, you won't regret it.
