Best Disney Movies Non Animated

While several of Disney’s films have been noted for their devastating scenes, these animated films aren’t depressing in any way.

Because of its emotional content,Disney films are often seen as an exercise in attempting to hold back the tears for as long as possible.

There are films about children who have lost their parents, such as Bambi (1942), The Lion King (1994), The Fox and the Hound (1981), and Dumbo (1941), while others, such as Coco (2017) and The Little Mermaid (1989), portray children who have gained parents who are no longer with them.

There are few people who can watch the opening 10 minutes of Up (2009) without breaking down in tears. For the most part, there aren’t any extremely sad scenes in any of the movies that Disney is known for, but there are some exceptions. However, this does not imply that they are not exceptional. Only that they don’t shatter the heart of their viewers in thousand pieces.

While the Queen of Hearts’ demand for Alice’s decapitation brings her the closest to despair, it is ultimately shown to be a figment of her imagination.
