Sad Cartoons

[EBHughsThe1st]

Ever seen any cartoons that you didn't expect to be, like, sad, but they turned out to be?

Now, this is probably going to be a spoiler-laden list if I get any sort of reaction....

Anyway.

I would have to say The Spongebob Squarepants Movie.
Don't give me that look, unless you aren't. You saw that scene on the drying rack when Spongebob and Patrick slowly dry out, thinking about how they failed, realizing they did not, acknowledging their friendship, and then dying out with a smile and a song.
First of all, this came totally out of left field. This is Spongebob. A character that's happy-go-lucky, a bit nonsensical, naive, and at times quite innocent. Sure the movie brought a slighly darker tone with it, but...damn. Even though they would be able to get back to the land of the living via a Deus Ex Machina, but this was so well executed it just blew me over. Totally bawled.

That and those two scenes in Up. Both totally wordless, but told so well through the animation and so unexpectedly out of the gate. Just...wow, Pixar.

And Snoopy Come Home, which I consider the saddest movie I have ever seen.

The Jurassic Bark episode of Futurama is sad as hell. If you haven't seen it, you definitely should.

Is that the "NO DOGS ALLOWED" one?

Oh man, if you ever want to see sad just watch the episodes of One Piece where they sink the Merry. Good, god that had me in tears. It's that child like voice they give it that really tears at the heart strings.

-EDIT-
Forgot to include Huges funeral in FMA where his daughter just makes for one hell of a tear jerker with the line "Mommy, why are they putting daddy in the ground? He won't be able to go to work if they do that."

Yep. With that one song sung by Charlie Brown...

This and 'Luck of the Fryish."

Futurama can have some really tear-jerking moments.

A lot of the things by Don Bluth are fucking scarring. Dude seems to think it's okay to do horrible, terrible sad things as long as the ending is upbeat.

This is, of course, talking about when he was still good.

Oh, and also this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUSzQBaWq0Q]

I can't watch that episode anymore, sad stories with dogs are just too much.

"Arnold's Christmas" from Hey Arnold was another heart-wrencher of a cartoon.

This, a thousand times this, that was the only thing that really got to me in FMA. If movies count as cartoons I once again have to mention the end of Toy Story 3 where Andy gives away his toys before playing with them one last time. Shit had me on the verge of tears.

And don't forget Nina T-T. Just about every other episode of the series was a tear jerker.
