What are your most heart breaking moments on kid's TV? It can be either from modern day kids TV or from when you were growing up. Mine are:
*On Topsy and Tim. When Tim goes to his 'friend' Tony Welsh house. Tony and his new mate completely ignored Tim. You can see him crying inside until Tony's dad invited him to help out in the garden.

  • On Old Jack's boat Christmas special. When he thinks all his friends are too busy to meet up to commemorate his dead wife. Yet they all surprise him at the end for a proper sing song

Animals of Farthing Wood. Hedgehogs are the worst looking back now but when I first saw it I remember being so upset when I thought Fox had drowned in the river at the end of an episode.

Pokemon- when Ash tried to leave Pikachu with a wild clan of Pikachu and a goodbye song plays

Fresh Prince - "Why don't he want me?" Tears every time

Bambi’s Mum.

Carried out of cinema bawling aged 4. Still can’t watch it.

Me too!!! Trauma twins!

Zammo or Danny Kendall for fiction

There was an episode of Scene (teen magazine programme) that we watched at school about a murder by drowning that still haunts me

I used to cry at the end of The Littlest Hobo every time he started trotting off down the road on his own.

Minniem2020 · 16/01/2024 18:54

Basically every time Disney decide to kill off a parent. Which is a lot!
Also agree with pp who mentioned Toy Story 3 and the toys about to be incinerated. Me and dsis looking at each other in the cinema over the kids heads thinking they're not really going to do it are they😂

RedLem0nade · 16/01/2024 18:58

The Toy Story incinerator bit- Absolutely!

"Pippin got lost at the rubbish tip in Come Outside."
Yes, this episode broke me! I used to watch Come Outside with my foundation classes but always had to skip this episode, as I just couldn't hold it together!

Also John Noakes and Shep's passing. Basically any sad dog stories!

CharlotteStreetW1 · 16/01/2024 19:11

Judy and the tree in Seven Little Australians. I wept buckets. Welling up at the thought even now and it was probably 50 years ago.

MammaTo · 16/01/2024 20:00

So many Bluey episodes.

Sleepytime, The Baby Race, Onesies just to name a few.

MammaTo · 16/01/2024 20:02

Also to add from other peoples answers of Toy Story 3, when Andy gives his toys to Bonnie at the end and drives off I felt like I was waving goodbye to my childhood completely.

Jack Frost when his dad melts away 😭

When Liam (Justine's boyfriend) on Grange Hill died after an organised fight between two schools. I was heartbroken and kept having dreams about it.

Baby Trudy in Goodnight Mr Tom.

I used to cry at the end of The Littlest Hobo every time he started trotting off down the road on his own.

The theme tune is still a killer too.

onwardandupwards · 16/01/2024 20:18

The land before time when LIttlefoots mum dies, I cry every time 😭

Multipleexclamationmarks · 16/01/2024 20:18

Goldie, Simon Grooms dog on blue Peter died in the 1980,s. He was heartbroken, I was heartbroken.

Lassy come home - Every bloody week made me cry.

A film, Inside Out, when Bing Bong sacrificed himself. My daughter was around 10 and got the significance, she basked for hours, broke me.

Multipleexclamationmarks · 16/01/2024 20:19

She bawled, no basking thanks auto correct!

sprigatito · 16/01/2024 20:23

The Fox and the Hound. There are several scenes that I still can't watch. My dad took me to see it when I was about 6, my parents had split up the year before, I already had a new stepfather and my dad had just told me he was moving to Oman. I think I was a bit sensitive to abandonment and loneliness, and that film just absolutely shredded my soul.

PJ going blind on Byker Grove

Dumbo's mum singing

When Fiver hops off into the mist to find Hazel in Watership Down (my mum had to pause the VHS to tell me it was going to be ok)

When the little girl in Mrs Doubtfire asks why her daddy can't live with them anymore

RandomMess · 16/01/2024 20:31

Original Watership Down, utterly bereft and inconsolable.

B&W version of LOTF when Piggy got killed.

The start of "Up"

Not kids TV but Brooksids spin off when Damien was murdered.

RandomMess · 16/01/2024 20:32

Damen even

Dinkyboots · 16/01/2024 20:34

Ah yes, Dumbo's mum rocking him on her trunk through the bars of her cage. I can't bear it, floods of tears and I'm not usually an easy crier but it digs deep to some unresolved stuff and yanks it out.

SlightlygrumpyBettyswaitress · 16/01/2024 20:34

Jessie's song in Toy Story 2?
I remember Tom Hanks saying him and Tim Allen wept buckets when they heard it.
