Yeah man Lion King was a real heart string puller. BUT the sadness was diluted by the legends that are Timon and Pumba (I apologise if that wasn't their names, but I'm referring to the boar/warthog and the other thing lol).
Dumbo was really sad as well when his old dear gets taken away and a tear slides down her trunk
and then she tries to reach out and hug him with it
but she can't
.... Again, sadness later offset by his ear inspired flight and the ammo it gave us all, to rip the piss out of our big eared friends.
I also thought Ice Age was sad when Mannie looks at those wall engravings and it reminds him of those poachers who killed his mum and dad. AGAIN sadness offset with the stupidity of syd the sloth.
To conclude this lecture, the saddest cartoony films often are offset with humour or happy endings which maintain kids' enchantment with such films.
Best Disney film continues to be the jungle book... oh, whoop-e-doo, I wanna be like youuuuu, shap ee doobee do wap...
