15 Devastating Pixar Movie Moments That Made You Cry

1. Bing Bong Dies - Inside Out

It was always going to take something huge to beat Jessie's story from Toy Story 2, but the death of childhood makes for a pretty compelling argument. And that's exactly what the death of Bing Bong represents in Inside Out.

Just as Coco is haunted by the spectre of forgetting, the message of Bing Bong's demise - a sad enough thing even without his heroic sacrifice to let Joy escaped - is deeply disturbing, particularly for young minds. It's basically reinforcement that every happy moment, every friend and every treasured experience could be lost forever without your control.

It's not just about death, it's about the loss of innocence - the agony of having to move on and leave your dreams behind. For Inside Out, though growing up is necessary, it is a tragedy and it's never more clear than when Bing Bong is forgotten.

And what a bloody terrifying way to die.
