Ok, if there is already a topic like this, then I apologize because I had no idea. And if it gets moved to Media Discussion, then I'm sorry for that too.

 

The magic of Disney is, has been and will always be a force that grips and enthralls us all no matter how it manifests itself. But sometimes, there are moments in Disney's storied past that many have found unbearable. Even to this day, those same moments still have a crippling effect on our hearts and minds. For me, there are a select few which I cannot bear to watch. They are listed below.

 

1. Bambi

 

There's a very good reason I put this movie top of the list. Everything about Bambi makes me cry for one simple reason. These days I am a cold, critical person, hardened by his experiences in life and therefore vulnerable to the movie's soft and tender themes. I can't even go 5 seconds listening to the song "Love Is A Song That Never Ends" without breaking down like a sissy. Same story with the scene "I Bring You A Song". Sure, the moment where Bambi's mom gets shot is also hard to bear, but I cannot, repeat not, stand up to the soft and sweet collage of nature that is Bambi without cringing awkwardly.

 

2. Dumbo

 

Ok, for the most part, I don't find Dumbo too hard to watch, but what does resonate with my feelings is having to watch Dumbo get bullied for having unusually large ears. All parties involved, from the circus to the audience and even Dumbo's fellow elephants treated him poorly, and things only got worse when Mrs Jumbo tried to defend her son from the teenage hooligans that harangued him. When I was a child, I couldn't make any sense of the chaos that unfolded in that scene, but now I do at 20 years old. That scene was the very image of an indiscriminate employer viciously stamping out the unfolding conflict, and not in the most humane way either. The Ringmaster has one of his mooks take Dumbo away from his mother, enraging her more. In doing so, relations between the Ringmaster and Mrs Jumbo are damaged further. The former couldn't seem to understand Mrs Jumbo's fury. In his eyes, all he saw was an elephant going crazy, so he had his mooks restrain her and lock her up in a cage. While this scene wasn't the hardest to bear, the one that followed sure as hell was.

 

The night after that chaotic debacle, Timothy Q. Mouse takes Dumbo to see his mother, thus beginning the heart-wrenching scene known as Baby Mine. God, how this scene tugged at my heartstrings. If that wasn't enough, the bit where Mrs Jumbo swings Dumbo with her trunk......need I say anymore?

 

3. Toy Story 2

 

I could watch Toy Story 2 easy enough, but when it came to Jessie's lamentation of how her original owner outgrew her, it was a scen I couldn't bear to sit through. While it is a tale many of us have been through at some point in our lives, that singing voice made it too painful for me to listen to.

 

That's it for now, but if I think of anything else I'll put it up. So now I leave it to you readers. What Disney movies made you cry?

Too many to list, but that scene from Dumbo when he goes to see his mother in prison as Baby Mine plays makes me involuntary cry every single time. Heck, I'm tearing up right now as I type this. :(

Inside Out and Big Hero 6 are the two Disney movies that have got me close to crying.

Does it have to be a Disney movie? I cried during "The Secret of NIMH" when Mrs. Brisby moved her cinderblock home using nothing but the power of her love for her children channeled through the necklace Nicodemus gave her.

None. They are luckily non melodramatic. Anime or some games try that trick. But i usually ignore them.
