There are movies with more than one heartbreaking moment: In Encanto: Pedro's sacrifice, the family takes the photo without Mirabel, the Bruno's plate, the discussion between Grandmother and Mirabel and the destruction of the Casita.
1The Mufasa's death is absolutely heartbreaking, he died saving Simba, and they couldn't even say goodbye before he died, It also breaks me that at first he doesn't understand why his dad doesn't wake up, especially when he says that they have to go home (because after that he couldn't go home without him, and the way he tries to wake him up, while we remember the previous scene when he asks: and we will always be together. It also broke my heart when Timon and Pumba make fun of what Simba believes in the stars: Imagine that your closest friends laugh at something important to you. Also when Simba angrily yells at the sky: You said you'd always be there for me and you're not
2Frozen also haves heartbreaking moments: Anna freezes when she saves Elsa, they find out how their parents died and also when she finds out about Elsa's death and her parting with Olaf before he disappears. oh it hurts me
3would have included when Anastasia as a child ran away with her grandmother, she released her, fell off the train and hit her head losing her memory
4Toy Story yes, as a child, Jessie's story marked me and it taught me to value my toys (a childhood's treasure) and not abandon them just like that, today I still keep them. also the scene where everyone prepares to die tears me apart too
5In Finding Nemo, it also broke my heart when Marlin said: it's late, Nemo is gone and I'm leaving too and Dory's plea
6In Tangled, it destroyed me when Eugene was stabbed, and Rapunzel then with her hair cut still tries desperately to save him while singing and then cries, although in the end he doesn't die of course it's heartbreaking.
7the Shang's death in Mulan II destroyed me, when he let go of her hand so that the two of them wouldn't fall, and then the Mulan's heartbreaking cry when she remembers Shang and sticks that sword feels very strong.
8 oh Dumbo too, when his mother wants to approach his but in that she remembers that she is chained so she cannot get very close to see him but she brings her trunk closer to him

Oh my dude, Bing Bong. I thought he was going to be a secret villain (since every Disney movie had a secret villain, but when he sacrifices himself, my girlfriend told me 'see, he wasn't a villain'. I told her, 'no. he was the most dastardly villain of them all, who pulled off the greatest crime: he stole our hearts, and then proceeded to break them right before our eyes'
But Coco. E-MO-TION-ALLY DESTROYED me! I can't watch it without crying, knowing what's to come. Because the clues were all there.
Mufasa's death chokes me up a bit for personal reasons, and though it is an actual bop, Luisa's 'Surface Pressure' makes me emotional when I really think about the lyrics. And we can't forget the sequence from Up (both the opening scene and Carl's reflection on Ellie's adventure log.

This may sound silly but the most heartbreaking animated movie moment was from dreamworks flushed away. When roddy and Rita are floating out of the sewer and the jammy dodger falls into the water becoming lost. When Rita says goodbye jammy me old mate and the dodger makes one last wave goodbye that honestly was so heartbreaking. That was her trusty ship she used to navigate the sewers and to see it wave goodbye made it seem like it had a connection to Rita, almost like a friend perhaps, been through everything together. That was honestly so sad, in a bittersweet way.

How does DreamWorks not have a single entry in this? The death of Stoick? Saying goodbye to the dragons? The death of Shrek? The Death of Oogway? The death of Po's mother? None of these even deserved honorable mentions? What about the death of Uncle Aaron in Spider-Verse? This was mostly Disney and Pixar, but DreamWorks that in many ways matches their quality has moments that deserved to be acknowledged, also Spider-Verse is amazing and I really hope Sony intends to make that quality their future goal.

Mufasa's death was very tragic. What makes it even more heartbreaking was the fact that in the live action remake of the movie, while Mufasa is still being voiced by James Earl Jones, when the character falls to his death, his tone says I don't care. I'm just going with what the script tells me. Mufasa's death was heartbreaking enough, but we don't need that kind of tone, even if it is from his original voice actor.

not even a honorable mention with the death of Po's mom? that one had me in tears! Seeing a mother risk her own life to save her own baby as she comforts him one last time before tricking them into chasing her. What makes it even better is the fortune tellers words after the flashback Your Story might not have a happy beginning, but its the rest of the story, who you choose to be

Dos Oruguitas, in Encanto is my new gold standard for this one. But Ill also add others:
Mufasas death. No question.
Yeah, the scene with Mama Coco is great, but for me, its the scene when they find out that Hector is his ancestor, and the fact that hes fading means that Coco is dying.
Do the Next Right Thing, in Frozen 2

Top 3 (In my opinion):
1. Mufasa's death
2. When she loved me
3. Bambi's mother gets shot
The way I see these heartbreaking moments is through young lives. Mufasa's death and the Toy Story 2 scene are pretty close, but Mufasa's took top because of how dramatic and heavy this scene is, including the dark humor that lead to his death.

I absolutely agree with Carl and Ellie being number one on the list for this one because the way Disney did it would make you feel like you really got to know the characters in the montage that ends with Ellies death to this day whether I hear the musical score or watch the actual scene I still cry and Im an adult

That reminds me of the sequel of Sing where The new character Lion Clay Calloway, was suffer ever since his wife Ruby died during his married life. And they didnt even get to have children together before she die. And because of her death, he gave up his own singing career.

I would add either Peter's or Aaron's murder from Into the Spider-Verse. The entire city being united in shock and grief was staggering, and the mix of Aaron's regret, Miles' devastation and Jefferson unknowingly drawing down on his own son? That was crushing.

Jessie has it hard, and trivia, everybody work on the movie and even Joan Cusack were crying when Jessie's backstory was told in song. And they told Randy they need a song for her, they said this story doesn't have a happy ending. And it really shows

Surprised that The Hunchback of Notre Dame isn't on here (at least as an honorable mention) for the scene after Quasimodo is crowned the king of fools, when he's tied down, mocked, and assaulted by the crowd while his cries for help go unanswered.

No Kenai telling Koda what he'd done? Seriously no one at MsMojo has ever seen Brother Bear, have they? Or Stitch crying that he's lost? Grug saying goodbye in the Croods? Half of The Fox and the Hound should be in there too!

I feel like the ending to Fox and the Hound should have been on this list. As an adult I can relate to Todd the fox wanting to hold onto the past but having to move on. I think a lot of us can relate to the characters.

I'm surprised that Stoick's death in How To Train Your Dragon 2 wasn't included. Or even the goodbye between Hiccup and Toothless in the 3rd movie. Both of those scenes absolutely destroyed me
