Disney animated movies are not all sweetness and light. A good drama tugs at your heartstrings, and Disney has perfected the art of building up your hopes and dreams by making you care about the characters, and then yanking them away in a minute. A consulting firm called sheets.works crunched the numbers and found that the moment of heartbreak most often comes halfway through a Disney film, although they vary from five minutes in (Encanto) to 96% of the way through the story (Pocahontas). Almost half involve the death of a parent.
They have a chart listing 33 Disney animated films, ranked by where the heartbreak comes in. Click the movie title to bring up the moment and its statistics, such as its type and how devastating it is. If you've seen the movies, it will take you back to how you felt watching it for the first time. -via Metafilter

I was about 3 or 4 when my mother took me and my brother to the movies to see Bambi. When Bambi's mother gets killed by the hunters I started screaming and crying. Never saw that movie again but I never forgot it and have despised hunters all my life.Also: Fantasia got me banned from the movies (while Fantasia was still being shown for a few weeks) because I totally freaked out at the Witch Mountain scene. My brother was very ticked off with me for years because he never got to see the ending of that movie. When it was released for sale on tape I bought it for him just so he would stop his complaining.
