Voted out last round: Rapunzel’s promise to Gothel

We are now at the Top 10 mark and after this countdown is over I will be writing an article for the top 10 most heartbreaking scenes!

It will be a big help if all the people voting could comment WHY they picked what they picked and maybe even explain why they think some of the other scenes are more sad.

For example, the scene where we find out the huns burned down the village, killing all the villagers and then took out the entire army including Shang's father is so incredibly sad, but I feel more shocked than sad.

Cinderella's mother's dress getting ripped up (Cinderella does say in the animated movie that it was her mother's dress), Ariel crying on the pier, Eugene and Beast's death, Moana saying goodbye to her grandmother, the dwarfs crying over Snow White, and Rapunzel thinking Eugene left her are the ones that make my heart hurt more compared to the others

This is a shocking and sad mixture. But the rest are more sad to me, because someone is feeling/reeling from the personal loss of something very precious.

It’s sad but gets resolved fairly quickly.

Thi is not so sad.

That is another one which is more dramatic than sad.

Yes, the moment when they discover the village isn't that sad, but what comes after, with the little doll, is, so I would vote out this one first. There is too much going on for it being a true tear jerker moment.

This one is very sad (especially now that I know it was her mother's dress - it has been a long time since I saw this movie), but I still feel like the others are more heartbreaking and this one does get resolved very quickly as LMH5113 stated.

The village being dead is very sad and heartbreaking. I never really understood this scene as a child, but it is very heartbreaking now that I know what happened in this scene.

The dwarves crying is so sad as well and heartbreaking because they think that the princess is dead and she meant so much to them.

Beast's death is heartbreaking because of Belle's reaction to his supposed death. She is shocked and heartbroken and it makes the audience really feel sorry for her.

Eugene's death is heartbreaking for the same reason as the Beast's death is heartbreaking, but I think it is even more heartbreaking because of the last lines they exchange with them being each other's new dream. Rapunzel lost everyone she cared about in that one moment as Gothel was dead and now the first person to ever love her has died as well.

Ariel crying after King Triton destroys her collection got me really heartbroken because I have had times where my father will yell and throw things and break my stuff when he was mad. I understood Ariel's situation and I felt truly sorry for her that her whole collection was gone and her father destroyed all chances of her being able to go on land.

Ariel crying at the pier is heartbreaking, but not as heartbreaking as the other scenes. She feels that all her dreams have been shattered because Eric does not choose her.

Mulan saying she sees nothing is another heartbreaking, but not very heartbreaking scene. She feels like a failure, a disappointment to her family, and that her ambitions and effort was for nothing.

Moana saying goodbye to Gramma Tala is very heartbreaking and is one of the few Disney moments that I cry during. Gramma Tala reminds me a lot of my own grandmother and just imagining her dying makes me very emotional.

This one is sad, but I as the viewer know that Eugene actually did not leave Rapunzel of his own choice, so that dramatic irony softens this scene for me. I know that Eugene will eventually show up again and help rescue Rapunzel.

My second choice would be the village in Mulan because, as other users said, it is more shocking than sad. But that scene is more tragic to me than Rapunzel thinking Eugene left her (the moment with the doll really gets me), so I'm picking this one instead.

This one because we know the situation is gonna be resolve

@sunnyfields I think you are overlooking the meaning of this dress. Going to the ball was the one glimmer of hope Cinderella had for a long, long time. He had already resigned herself to not being able to go to the ball when the mice gifted her with the changes on the dress of her mother she wanted to make. So she runs down the stairs over the moon about the fact that she is able to go after all, when the step sisters destroy it...it is more than just a dress, it is even more than one of the last things she has of her mother, they are basically ripping apart her dream in this moment. Cinderella even says that she wants to die.
