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

My goodness I'm on the train to work reading these and welling up. Agree with so many of them, so many made me cry as a child and still do now. Land before time I only ever saw one time in the cinema and had to be physically led out because I couldn't see through my floods of tears. Bambi I've never even watched knowing full well it'd destroy me. Ones like Toy Story, ET I can watch over and over because I know they ultimately have happy endings.

So many of these! Watership Down, Never-ending Story, Birdie’s death in Tottie are among my most harrowing but also seeing The Littlest Hobo and Lassie run off every week broke me too. As does Bobby and her Daddy. Bambi and Dumbo were banned in my house. I have still never watched them.

I also remember leaving the room to bawl in my Gran’s hall when Allan died during an animated version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in about 1982.

And that advert where a boy died climbing an electricity pylon!

Danny dying on Grange Hill too 🙁

Aslan not Allan!

Xh took my son to see one of the newer Star Wars films for a Christmas treat a few years ago. It was the one where Han Solo died. DS grieved all Christmas 🥲

I'm welling up thinking about that now!

This but ruins me.

And I think it's in TS two, Jessie's song?

The first 10 minutes of UP, when the young couple are gazing at the clouds and see a baby, and then two, three! And then you see her at the doctors and it's all sad faces. Oh I always cry at that whole scene! Kids think I'm a loon.

Can't do Toy Story either. Traumatising.

Not a kids film but as a kid I couldn't bear the closing scene of the cowboy movie Shane, when Shane has to walk off alone... a reformed gunslinger ... arrow through my heart

And some other movie when a man dies at sea but he has his bloody collie in the boat and it dies too. Haunted me. The dog was innocent!!! Why did he have to die? The man was too but he didn't get much thought.

Oh lord...

Always felt for the poor Incredible Hulk too, a lovely life, poor David banner... misunderstood

I loved this! I don’t remember it being too sad but maybe need to re watch as I’m much more emotional now 🤣. I still want to visit Margate!

Omg yes! I was a uni student when this came out and I cried so much in the cinema. Heartbreaking.

@twoforj0y - I cried at the start of UP! Too. Def more emotional at an adult than a child.
ET was very sad, and yes I used to get wobbly at Lassie too, but I didn’t cry at. Film until I watched dead poets society in the cinema as a teen. ‘Captain, my Captain’ - it was overwhelmingly emotional!!

That was quite disturbing IIRC. Didn’t someone die in a fire?

@SaulGoodmanIsTaken Oh my gosh. I had a story tape of Tottie!! Am going to have to look this up…

When they cut off Aslan's mane and kill him in the 80s BBC version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe 😭😭😭

When PJ in Byker Grove got blinded during paintballing.

Omg yes!!! This was sooo traumatic!!

When somebody loved me.. everything was beautiful. Every hour we spent together lives within my heart.. when she loved meeeee!

makes me ball everytime!

@renamed don’t know how to link your previous comment but I remember this I think. Was it 1980’s ? I remember watching a film involving mines and ponies and at the end one of the ponies died. I was distraught at the time but when I ask my parents about it now they ‘don’t remember’ it . I thought I was going mad for a while!

another childhood trauma unlocked !

Me too! Not Up, I haven't seen it, but I never cried at books or films until Dead Poets Society and after that I was weepy as you like.
For me it's The Railway Children film and book. "Daddy, my Daddy!". I also can't read the end of Alice in Wonderland without weeping.

As an adult (and mum) there's bits in kids films that make me choke up in places you wouldn't expect.

The end of Toy Story 3 when Andy plays with his toys for the last time 💔

The part in Home where the mum finally finds her daughter, the music at that moment gets me as well.

There's a bit in Wonder where Auggies mate sticks up for Auggie and gets in a fight and when the teacher pulls him off he starts to cry.

Even writing those down has made me cry!

As a child I was completely traumatised the first time I watched the original King Kong, I couldn't believe they killed him.

Little women when Beth dies, I can't remember which version I watched as a child in the 80s
but it broke my heart.

There was also a series called Toms midnight garden (I think) and it had a girl in it with a large birthmark who was hidden away, it was really sad.

I watched Tabby McTat with my nieces and nephew and had to leave the room 😿

At the end of Merlin - when he is walking alone. Then it pans out and it's in modern day. And Arthur and Camelot have been gone for a thousand years and Merlin has been walking alone all that time.

Badger's death in the Animals of Farthing Wood. I cried and cried. Poor Mole.

‘Take her to the moon for me’

😭😭😭😭
