Most heart breaking moments on kid's TV????

[Floogal]

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

Yeah Mufasa, I was twenty when Lion King came out, saw it at the cinema and cried for most of it, as it was either sad or lovely.

The land before time! Absolute core traumatic memory…I absolutely sobbed and I still don’t think I could listen to that Diana Ross song 😂

Definitely this.

The part when Littlefoot keeps saying "get up! Get up!"

😭

Thank you, @CharlotteStreetW1 - I was racking my brains to think of the name of that series. I remembered it was set in Australia and had seven children in it - but entirely failed to make the leap from that to Seven Little Australians. I am such a dumkopf.

Animated film - Granpa

Came out at Christmas 1989 when DD was 2.

I sobbed my heart out

Yes to Judy’s death in Seven little Australians! “ Don’t die Judy”

Yes this one stands out for me. It was such a shock!

In Phineas and Ferb when Perry the Platypus isn't allowed to be Doofenschmirtz's nemesis any more. The are both so sad. DS2 and I were distraught.

@Rainbowshine I came on to say Danny Kendall's death - a real shock 😢

Any 80s animal show..little hobo..gentle Ben..lassie ...so many more!
I used to sob at the lassie theme tune !

Came to say Bluey. Onesies especially, but Baby Race & Grandad also have me in tears at the end. As did Cricket, new episode out last week 🤣

Animals of Farthing Wood also was pretty upsetting as a child but I don't especially remember which bits!

Agreed!

The new cricket episode had me on the tears too.

When my kids were little we had a Kipper the dog video. There was one particular story on it that always made me feel miserable. "Nothing ever happens". I could never stay in the same room when that bit was on.

My dd15 still laughs at me crying in the cinema over Bing Bong, we were with 5 other mums and dd’s friends. No one else got the significance but it hit my soul deeply.

The theme tune used to get me, especially the 'maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down'. I can't listen to it now without getting a big lump in my throat

Auntie Mabel was always losing Pippin. She left him on a bus once.

Come Outside was my favourite when my kids were little. They used to say "Mum it's your programme!"

I remember a sewage works episode.

The Muppets Show when they receive a fan letter saying how sorry they were about Jim Henson's passing.

The two young dancers with Downs Syndrome who performed on (I think) Going Live.

I was about 10 and it was the first time I’d been really hit by that “grown up” sort of emotion - just blown away by them and finding myself with tears pouring down my face!

Bloody hell I had forgotten about this, except as some kind of half formed memory.

That was re Tottie and the dolls house!

I've never fully recovered from this. It was truly heartbreaking

So many nostalgic memories on this thread.

The Snowman is a deep source of trauma in our house to this day…

Bobbie crying "Daddy, my Daddy!" in the Railway Children always makes my eyes water. It's a happy moment but so emotional.
