Default Depressing children's movies
...so I was bored the other day and started looking up old Peanuts movies on youtube. I found this one:

YouTube - Snoopy Come Home 1
(it's in twelve parts; the link is to part 1)

If you've never seen Snoopy Come Home, you really need to; it's not your average happy-go-lucky Peanuts movie. If you have seen it, you know how depressing it is. The sappy songs, the melodramatic story, the too-cute-characters...but it's perfect. I must have seen it literally several hundred times as a kid (yes, literally; my dad taped a version off of TV and I watched it every day for several summers. There weren't many other kids in the neighborhood) and probably cried every time (still do, actually, though I probably shouldn't freely admit that).


Two other depressing kid's movies; The Iron Giant and The Brave Little Toaster. I saw Toaster at least fifty times.

Was anyone else attracted to depressing stuff as a kid? Cheery cartoons never did much for me.

Oh my god I cried EVERY time I watched The Brave Little Toaster. Also The Fox and the Hound.

OMG, I forgot about that one! I broke down everytime the lady leaves Todd at the nature reserve. Sometimes I couldn't even finish watching the tape after that. The ending is just as sad.

Ugh, exactly. And she's singing that song...
I would seriously be sobbing uncontrollably. My parents tried to take it away from me, but I refused. I loved it too much.

YouTube - Fox & Hound (Tod & Copper / Cap & Capper) ... sad scene


...most depressing clip ever?


I gave my copy away a while ago...it was too hard to watch. I'm watching that youtube clip with the sound off and it's still unbelievably painful.

Nope. I can't do it.

The Fox and the Hound still makes me weep.

Other sad children's movies:

Homeward Bound, the one where Shadow get's stuck in the ditch and you don't know if he'll make it home or not. The ending when he comes staggering up the hill makes me sob.

Bambi, of course, but that's a cliche choice.

All Dog's Go To Heaven. There were mobsters in this, drug dealers, prostitutes, sad situations, heartbreak... but it's animated and told through dog's point of views. It'd make a great gangster film if like, Tarantino rewrote it and shot it with the usual suspect cast... Maybe Scorsece'd direct it. And renamed it.

QFT. I don't think I was ever able to finish watching it.

Has anyone noticed in just about every Disney movie they killed off one if not both the parents?

It's kind of depressing but more horrible for me really but my mum showed me Watership Down really early on in my life and i think that messed me up a bit :s
