I've realized that Pixar has a lot of sad/bittersweet moments. I have either cried or teared up in almost ALL of the Pixar movies, with a few exceptions. So, I decided that I should take my top 5 Saddest Pixar Moments and turn it into an article. Enjoy!
*Just to mention these are not in any specific order!*
-Toy Story 3: When Andy Drives away, leaving his Toys behind with Bonnie.
This moment in the movie crushes my heart. He's playing with his toys for the last time. Reliving memories that he had when he was younger. And then, he has to get up and leave, leaving his toys with Bonnie. SO SAD. I'd like to think that Bonnie owns Bo-Peep, and that she's the daughter of Emily, Jessie's old owner.
-Toy Story 2: Jessie Sings "When Somebody Love Me"
I tear up every time I hear this song. I'm sure you will too if you listen to the lyrics closely. The flashbacks don't help at all. Showing that Emily, Jessie's owner, loved her, took her everywhere. But then, as time goes on she out grows Jessie, and totally forgets about her, up until the point that she sells her. Every time I hear the song, it makes me want to get my old Jessie Doll out and start playing with her.
- WALL-E: Eve thinks WALL-E's Memory is Gone
This scene basically defines a bittersweet moment. After Eve goes through all the trouble fixing WALL-E up, after he is basically crushed to death, just to find that his memory is lost, for what seems to be forever. I find it even more sad when WALL-E starts to tke his collection and making it into to garbage cubs. How Eve is truing so hard to get WALL-E to remember...... That's why it's so sweet when Eve holds WALL-E's hand, and kisses him, that WALL-E finally remembers.
- Monsters Inc.: Sully says Good Bye to Boo
My heart drops to my stomach in this scene. As Sully leads Boo back to her bed in her room, she keeps bringing him her toys, showing them to him. He has to lead her back to her bed though, despite how much he wants to play with her, hug her, and most importantly, stay with her. With a bittersweet goodbye, He leaves Boo, and the Company shreds her door. Boo, though, thinking it's a game, get's out of bed, and opens her closet, expecting to find Sully, But, to her dismay, is greeted by the contents of her closet. This is why I find the ending to Monsters Inc. very touching. Mike found the pieced to Boo's door and put it back together. The movie ends with one single word of dialogue -- "Kitty!"
- Up: Ellie Dies
Pixar really outdid themselves this time. I cry almost every time I see Up and it's always in the first 11 minutes of the movie.They start off in their childhood. Both dreaming of adventure. It then skips to their wedding day. Two love-birds. It continues to show them fixing up a house, having picnics, etc. They dream of having children, but soon come to find that they can't. Despite of that, they continue having a long-lived life together. When Carl realizes they still haven't gone to Paradise Falls - the place they've dreamed of since kids. So, he goes and buys some Plane Tickets to go and visit. But, right before Carl is going to tell Ellie about the tickets, she starts to have some health issues, and dies. It breaks my heart every time. Carl and Ellie forever <3.
Personally, I think those are the saddest Pixar moments. I hope you enjoyed, and please feel free to comment!
