Yeah, I've seen most of these. And most of these totally did make me :cry: or still make me want to :cry:

Is there something not on this list that you think should be on here? :)

3. I thought he was going to get all the way through there

without mentioning "Ol' Yeller," which would have been a crime. That movie destroyed me when I was a kid.

[Danger Mouse]

10. Me too. I'm doing the book with my reading students currently.

I'll be showing them the movie afterward. Am I mean or what?

4. I haven't gone to the link yet but here are some of the ones I remember from

my childhood and my daughters.

Bambi, when his mother's shot.

Dumbo... Again with the mother.

Old Yeller.

5. Every single soul-eating moment of "Santa Claus vs. The Martians".

Post as many threads as you can about horrific children's films; I'll post SCvsTM each and every single time.

and only the first 25 minutes of that. :shrug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

12. Obviously, you are missing out!

[FloridaJudy]

6. He left out E.T.?

Sacrilege! I have yet to make it through that movie without crying.

[Danger Mouse]

8. Hmm, good point!

[EndersDame]

11. My Girl, Dumbo top my list

16. Welcome to DU!

Based on your screen name, the contents of your post, and your signature line, you're going to fit right in. :hi:

13. I didn't see a list, just people's comments.

But I'll bet this one wasn't on it. It was a movie called "Biscuit" from around 1945 but didn't get a good showing because Pearl Harbor happened right when it came out. It's about two little boys, one black and one white and a pointer dog the little white boy wanted from the litter sired by a champion dog. The dog was going to killed off because it was the runt but the little boy trained it. Don't watch the newer Disney version of it, it's crappy from what I've heard. But this old one....you'd better have a box of tissue handy.

Rigged, this list is.

19. I'll add a British one: 'The Belstone Fox', when the hounds are all mown down by the train

and the huntsmen have to go around, finishing off those too badly injured to live. Seriously. It's not exactly a bright moment:

This touching tale of the doomed friendship between a fox-cub and the humanitarian huntsmen who reared him is a workmanlike adaptation of David Rook's novel “The Ballad of the Belstone”. Of the cast Eric Porter as Asher and Rachel Roberts as his wife are first-rate but the real star is the beautiful wildlife photography.

Tag is an orphaned fox cub raised in captivity with a litter of fox hound puppies due to the kindness of Asher (Eric Porter), head huntsman to the Belstone estate. Tag strikes up a friendship with a puppy, Merlin, and they blissfully play together until he is included in the hunting pack, the aim of the hunt being, of course, the fox. When the hunting season begins, Tag reverts to his traditional role as the quarry pitted directly against Merlin and the rest of the pack. Tag leads the Belstone Hunt a merry dance on numerous occasions and brings chaos to Ashler's riders and hounds when making his escape; his skill at evading the pursuing hounds even resulting in Horse & Hound magazine chronicling his exploits. Meanwhile, his friend Merlin will lead the hunt in the pursuit of a fox but will take no part in the kill.

Asher lives to regret his moment of weakness when his pursuit of Tag results in the chasing hounds being mown down by an oncoming train when Tag leads them across a railway track. The battle becomes personal and a resentful Asher vows to hunt down Tag. As the vendetta consumes the once-sympathetic Asher tragedy awaits.

None of this cartoon or puppet crap - this is live action filming. It's "Old Yeller", times 10.

20. Sounds a bit like "Fox and the Hound"

Disney rips off and sanitizes plenty of stories though. Nothing surprising there.
