Yes. Grave of the Fireflies is without a doubt one of the saddest animated films I've ever seen in my life. I literally broke in tears after the ending.

Watership Down is also a depressing animated flick.

I remember renting Watership Down at a video store when I was 5. I was expecting a happy cartoon about cute little rabbits. Within the first 15 minutes I was tramitized by what I saw. My mother heard me crying in the other room, she ran to the tv set and turned off the film. I remember when she held me in her arms and comforted me afterwords, she was such a loving person. We returned to the video store and my mother complained to the cashier that the film shouldn't be put under the the "Kids and Family" section. They didn't listen seeing as the tape still remained there until the day the store shut down.

When I was a kid it wasn't so much about death as it was about the "right" characters dying, which every once in a great while made me want more death.

There were two or three sequels to it, and I think those were the only appearances of Cecil. So, I think that means that he wasn't very popular.

Then there was the ever classic and untimely death of Bambi's mom! I remember crying at that part of the movie every time when I was little because I couldn't imagine life without my mom.

Bambi and Dumbo did leave an impression....but hands down grave of the fireflies is probably the saddest animated movie I ever seen.

Has anyone mentioned that shoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Terrifying.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-27-2012, 05:03 PM

How about in Land Before Time? very sad to see Littlefoot's mom die especially when i saw that in theaters at 7 4 times.

I've been watching the 2k3 series from the beginning and the amount of "I will end you"s that I'm hearing are like nails on a chalk board. I just want to shout for them to come out and say "I'm going to kill you"

Hell, If you've played TMNT 2: Battle Nexus the final fight with Shredder on the ship was awesome, I remember playing and Shredder saying something along the lines of "This time, I will finally banish you all to hell!" Could not believe my ears.

I'm also a little disappointed at how many characters tend to not die... I mean, Stockman is ok because it's his thing, but bringing him back after "Insane in the membrane" was a total joke. That was an awesome send off to Baxter.

The only character I can think of right now that died and STAYED dead was Zog, and that sucks because I loved Zog.

Jelly Bean · 04-02-2012, 01:41 PM

wasn't there a screencap of some casualties of background people falling to their death when Che'rell opened to the floors to launch his spaceship thingy?

And what all the foots soldiers that "died" by the hands of the turtles. The episode where the foot jump the turtles in their own home had a scene where Raph is trying to get on an elevator and several foot jump in after him and he emerges he all alone. Not even a shot showing that the foot were knocked out and moaning on the ground inside the elevator.

*BubblyShell22* · 04-02-2012, 03:13 PM

Yeah, I remember that screencap being shown.

And I also remember that scene with Raph, too.

Zog's death was very emotional for me though. I really liked him.

Bumbi's Mom is a perfect illustration of the trauma children receive over a shot mamma deer!

I felt sooooo bad for him. Being all crazy from the earth air poisoning his brain and all. I remember when Shredder "killed" him and was about to go for the turtles when Zog stood up and grabbed him I was jumping up and down for joy. Then he jumped into the fire to let the turtles get away... I fell to my knees and cried...

*gobo* · 04-02-2012, 07:11 PM

There there... It's just a cartoon.

Thoughts?

I love the "sent to another dimension" thing from DB, specially cause it leaves u guessing whether they mean heaven or hell or other. Also the way they sent eachother to the other dimension

Other cartoons have done I'm sure weirder stuff.

Sailor Moon was interesting for deaths also
