“Take her to the moon for me” even people without a soul would start crying at those last words..

[galacticjewels]

Honestly Bing Bong’s death makes me cry the hardest because it’s not just a lovable character dying, but him fading from Riley’s memory symbolizes her growing up and completely losing that child part in her, something we all go through at one point. It symbolized our childhood innocence being let go to make room for more personal growth. The fact that he says “take her to the moon for me” makes it even deeper because it makes you think about all your little childish dreams you let go of as well. It wasn’t just the death of a character, it was the death of childhood itself and stood for the phase we go through. That whole movie is so deep and beautiful and so so nostalgic. I’ll never relate to any character death as much as that one because it just really hits me in the feels to look back and realize exactly when you left that behind without realizing.

As a child I always thought Mufasa's death was the saddest part of any movie I had watched. But now that I'm older I find that Ellie and Bing Bong's deaths are the ones that affect me the most. Well deserved no.1 spot though, I can't watch that Up scene without crying every single time.

*"WE'LL NAME ONE NEMO BUT I'D LIKE MOST OF THEM TO BE MARLIN Jr.!"*

[medinakhaliqi]

For Mufasa’s death it’s the music that makes it really sad.😭

[bienduro]

I literally got chills just hearing 1 second of Up’s music

[angeloffish]

The montage of Ellie and Carl was beautiful, and yet sad. Telling the story of their life without any dialogue.

[Aqsaa]

I’m still recovering from Mufasa’s death in 2019 and now I’ll have to see him die again 😭😭😭
