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

I might have shed a tear at this while pretending everything was ok in front of my kids and reminding myself it was disney, it will be ok!

the last goodbye sing on bear in the big blue house. I sent the link to Dd who was at uni. “Oh my god. Mum, why? I was in bits.”

At the end of the 1970 "Railway Children" film: "Daddy, my daddy".

Oh yes!! That was so sweet!!

When ET goes home 😢 can't even hear the music without welling up

Gangsta Granny is pretty sad at the end.

My parents tell me I watched a show where they showed that rhyme about with the Mommy duck and her little ducks swam away and at one point no little ducks came back. I apparently was distraught for days afterwards at them all being sad and worried that they may all get lost again.

Bluey:grandad couldn't watch all the way through and am welling up just thinking about it whilst typing this)

Yes! I used to have this when I was young. Lost my own Grandpa last year. Will have to find this again.

I just came on to say about the this Bluey episode

The bot in Toy Story where the mum comes in as Andy is leaving his bedroom. It will always break my heart into tiny pieces.
After 50 years I have at last discovered the name of that series that traumatized me as a ten year old - 7 little Australians. Thank you!

Oh my goodness... Tottie! I am not going to be able to sleep tonight now you have unlocked this memory!

This. I still struggle to watch it. I worked as a nanny many years ago and Toy Story 3 was a firm favourite with my charges. I was also pregnant with DS1 so had all sorts of hormones flying round. I used to busy myself folding laundry in the room next door towards the end of the film as I couldn't watch it.

And this. This is my greatest screen related trauma. I grew up watching ET regularly and it never bothered me. Then I watched it again aged about 14 and suddenly I GOT it. I sobbed for about half an hour afterwards. I think I've only watched it once since then (I'm 41 now) and it broke me again. I want to introduce my children to it, but I'm not sure I can bear it.

There was a Christmas advert a couple of years ago where they were reunited. I sobbed at that, too.

I was going to write this too. That scene breaks me every time. I'm nearly 50 and sobbed into a cushion at Christmas watching it, in front of the in-laws. FML.

Also, ET and the Toy Story incinerator scene. My exdh used to sob at the end of a film called Champ I think, where the little boy's dad died after a boxing match. 'Wake up champ' he says, awful.

I properly cried at the Bluey Cricket episode on Sunday and then showed it to my DH later on and did it again. Stickbird also made me feel a bit misty eyed. In my defence I had a terrible hangover so was a bit emotionally fragile.

Also the Land Before Time.

I was going to ask if films were allowed but I see a few have been mentioned so…

My Girl

”Want to go tree climbing Thomas Jay? Where are his glasses? He can’t see without his glasses! Put on his glasses!”

😭😭

Me too! I even cried when flicking channels and watching just the last two minutes having watched none of the build up!

I also cry every time in Home Alone when Kevin sees his mum.

Yes! So glad someone else said this. Damon and Debbie was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread. I was a very young teen and DM watch Brookside, I didn’t have much interest but I loved Debbie so I watched the spin off. I think it was geared to the younger viewers. I wasn’t expecting Damon to get killed though. The whole thing was an emotional rollercoaster with him thinking she was on drugs because he didn’t know she was diabetic. It really had an impact on me.

Also the talk to Littlest Hobo reminded me that I used to get quite distressed at the end of the Incredible Hulk when Bruce Banner would walk into to sunset all alone to the strains of that very sad theme tune. Later discovered it’s called The Lonely Man.

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

This is mine too. I actually came across the episode recently and even though you know it’s coming it still hits really hard

On PJ “I’m blind man, I canny see” - it’s always amusing when paintball is mentioned to people of a certain age and their first reaction is to take a deep breath and say oh no. You know exactly what they are thinking 😂

Henry getting bricked in on Thomas the Tank Engine😦😭😭😭-absolutely sadistic

Otherwise, I was gutted when they sacked Geoffrey from Rainbow and messed up the whole show when I was about 7. I remember I was fucking furious.

It was Children's Ward (1989/90) for me when one of the characters died in surgery...really upsetting and made me terrified of having an operation!

I also can't watch Jessie's song in Toy Story 2.

Tarka the otter dying.
Zammo Grange Hill
Railway children. Daddy My Daddy

I can’t believe someone else mentioned this programme! When I saw this thread I was going to mention it but couldn’t remember exactly what it, I was googling “children’s hospital TV programme 1990s”. I found it, but then couldn’t find the storyline I was thinking of.

The storyline that stayed with me, I believe the girl (teen) had experienced sexual assault or rape, and she was trying to explain to a younger girl patient about why she was in hospital. She said along the lines of “you know when someone hugs you, and it feels nice and you’re enjoying it? But then if they start squeezing you too tight and the hug doesn’t feel nice any more, so you ask them to stop, but they won’t stop? That’s like what happened to me”.
