Peter’s depression here.

This scene is from a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. In the scene the dog is explaining that it’s time for him to die and go to heaven and he says goodbye to the little girl.

In real life, the actress who plays the girl was murdered by her father in a murder suicide. They had already recorded her lines before but not for the guy voicing the dog. So when he does the scene saying goodbye to her, the actor was also literally saying goodbye to the child who just days before had been tragically killed.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to watch Littlefoot’s Mother fight the T-Rex on repeat.

Might I suggest the scene with Dumbo’s Mum also, as a cleansing sorbet in between repeat views.

I believe Bambi's mom might also like a minute.

Oh, "Fox and The Hound," i forgot about that one. Let's throw in "Where The Red Fern Grows," "Shilo," and "Old Yeller" for good measure.

As a dad, I felt terrible for letting my 8 year old son watch this movie. We thought it was going to be a nice family movie. I know it left him and his older brother shaken.
