Depression emotional Animated Films we grew up with

[millzy]

Well I’m down now, really low.

Last night Sarah watched the rescuers and she got a little up set with it, I watched it with her and remember feeling sad when I first watched it around 6 years old

Any way I got speaking to some of the guys in work about it and we started talking about other Animated films that depressed us as kids, after the chat I went on Wikipedia and searched the films mentioned most I had seen, and again reading the Plots I remembered the films effect on me as a child and how sad I felt watching them- Question is what the hell was the point in all the sad films with orphans moms dieing and people being separated for there families

This is some that came up

The Land before Time
An American Tail
The Rescuers
All Dogs do to Heaven


Can you add any?

Alien

First time i watched that, and the alien burst out of his chest. I SHIT MYSELF!! (i was about 7, and i watched it on the sly)

Although, after watching the Spaceballs version of the chest bursting alien, it hasn't been scary since

[Northy]

Not animated but "The day of the triffids" made me shit myself

Oh yeah, and I know its not animated as such but who didn't cry when ET died and he was lying on the bed looking kind of like a white dog-turd (which come to think of it you don't see any more, hmmm).

Fritz the cat was very informative when an uncle of mine let me watch it thinking it was a kids cartoon and it ended up being a hip cat in 70's clothes f***ing everything in sight and doing LSD

One flew over the cuckoo's nest was heartwrenching when Jack Nicholson gets lobotomised at the end after having wanted to free the other inmates...
