Top 10 Saddest Animated Disney Character Backstories

Disney gets us right in the fields you sold your soul to me to save your boyfriend's life and how does this creep thank you by running off with some baby did he hurt you real bad didn't he make that look I learned my lesson okay welcome to Ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top ten saddest animated Disney character backstories it won't happen again we see a strife all the time now wrong choices said and there's losers before we begin we publish new content every day so be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos for this list we're only looking at backstories that happened before the start of the movies narrative or which are told through flashbacks this means that Bambi's backstory for example won't be included number 10 Cinderella Cinderella this one might have a fairytale ending but Cinderella's origins are heartbreaking after the death of her mother her doting father remarried this might have been all well and good if he hadn't died shortly after leaving poor Cinderella an orphan his death left her in the care of her new stepmother and in the company of two stepsisters oh yes and the tapestries and the draperies but I just filled them again I don't forget the garden then scrub the terrace sweep the halls and the stairs clean the chimneys and of course there's the mending and the sewing and the laundry well we all know how the story goes but it bears saying that the way these three treated Cinderella is nothing short of child abuse it's a good thing a fairy godmother comes along or this movie would be too depressing to watch number nine Lewis Meet the Robinsons I have no future no one wants me that's not true Louis my own mother didn't even want me now stop it you do not know that then why'd you give me up Disney has often dealt with stories about kids without parents and this one stands out as one of the saddest Louis is a child inventor with an active imagination the only downside is that his inventions don't always work out quite how he plans and seemed to ruin his chances of being adopted it's really nice to meet you we're gonna need some time to think about it after deciding that he has to find the mother who left him at the orphanage as a baby he invents a device to aid him on his quest it's a roller coaster of a ride that involves time travel and it breaks our hearts when Lewis doesn't take his opportunity to change the past why'd you just let her go because I already have a family number 8 Nick Wilde Zootopia 1 I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me in too if the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy there's no point in trying to be anything else Zootopia seemed like a fun movie from the trailers so we were not prepared when it came at us with some insightful stories about what it's like to be stereotyped and ostracized for something you can't control when we meet Nick he's a con man but as the movie progresses we find out that there is much more to him than meets the eye as he and Judy bond we learned that he was bullied as a child by other kids because he was a fox and a predator meaning that they could not trust him trust a fox without a Muslim you're even dumber than you look Disney doesn't shy away from teaching its audience a lesson and this one really made us reflect on the prejudices of the world so no matter what type of animal you are from the biggest elephant to our first Fox I implore you try try to make the world a better place number seven bing-bong inside out we were best friends there are a few things sadder than the melancholic nostalgia of realizing you no longer love something from your childhood inside out takes a look into the mind of Riley a young girl dealing with life's issues and the journey leads us to meet Bing bong Riley's old imaginary friend long forgotten by her he wanders around her mind collecting his favorite happy memories until he meets joy and sadness and finds a new mission and helping them get back to headquarters he is lonely made obsolete by time and Riley growing up what are you doing out here well there's not much call for imaginary friends lately so y-you know he's a fantastic character who makes us reminisce about our own long-lost imaginary friends take her to the moon for me [Music] number six lilo lilo and Stitch I'll remember you though I remember everyone Latif's lilo and Stitch promised us a fun alien filled romp through Hawaii we didn't expect to cry lilo lives with her older sister and it's obvious that there is some tragedy in their past I like you better as a sister than a mom yeah and you like me better as a sister pin a rabbit right oh we have no idea what happened until a sadly low empathizing with the destructive stitch mentions that her parents were out driving on a rainy night it was rainy he went for Drive it's a blink and you'll miss it moment but for those of us who can put two and two together it's a moment that has us reaching for a box of tissues every time and there were even more tears when we realized that's why lilo feeds Pudge the fish she thinks can control the weather why is this so important Pudge controls the weather number five Todd the Fox and the Hound Todd a young Fox and one of the stars of this 1981 movie has one hell of a backstory orphaned as a baby the other forest animals rally and organize for him to be adopted by widow tweed a sweet old lady with a heart of gold but as Todd grows older widowed tearful and sad is forced to release him back into the wild [Music] is likely [Music] the Fox in the Hound is widely regarded as one of the most heartbreaking movies Disney has ever released and when you're already crying at the beginning you should probably be able to guess that you'll need to hold on to that box of tissues for the rest of the movie number four Carl Fredricksen your heart good you promised no backing out he'll Pixar managed to fit one of the most absolutely heartbreaking backstories into a movie about a house being lifted up by balloons is a credit to its team of writers the first five minutes of up are notorious for making even the most stoic among us shed a tear Carl meets Ellie when they are young and the two grow up together and end up married their marriage is beset by difficulties like learning that they are unable to have children they have a long and happy life together until Ellie's death without this backstory we would never know what makes Carl so determined to get his house up to the top of that waterfall it's so beautiful we made it we made it Russell we can throw right over here number three Dory finding dory did I forget again I don't know sweetie it's okay no biggie cupcake what if I forget you thank you for forget me when we met her in Finding Nemo Dory was a funny albeit forgetful companion to Marlin serving as someone to offset all the tragedy in his life with some levity I don't believe it no it's true I forget things almost instantly it runs in my family well I mean at least I think it does hmm where are they can I help you we don't learn much about her until the sequel where the story focuses on who she is and where she came from spoiler alert it's a tearjerker hi I'm dory can you please help me honey you just you just said that did mm-hmm I'm sorry I suffer from shirt candor memory loss it's an adventure that takes us down Dory's fragile memory lane and we learn about her past and who her parents are in typical Pixar fashion it gives us the tough stuff before it gives us the happy ending and despite sobbing our way through it was definitely worth it hello I'm Doris [Music] number two Jesse Toy Story 2 no can't go to the dark what's the matter what's wrong with her it might seem strange that a toy wants to spend the rest of its days locked up in a museum but the more we learn about Jessie the more her motivations make sense when somebody loved me everything was beautiful every hour spent together in a song that we can't listen to without getting choked up we learned that she was once abandoned by her owner [Music] when you consider that being an exhibit means people will always be coming to see you it makes sense that Jesse has a one-track mind about getting herself to Japan and unlike lot so when we feel sorry for until we learn more about him Jesse's backstory makes her one of our favorite characters do you never forget kids like Emily or Andy before we unveil our top pick here are some honorable mentions I see Felix up there getting patted on the back people giving him pie thanking him so happy to see him all the time some time to think man sure must be nice being the good guy [Music] number one Quasimodo The Hunchback of Notre 'adam this one is known as one of Disney's more serious movies and Quasimodo was regarded as one of the most overlooked characters in Disney's repertoire a deformed man forced into ringing the bells of the famed Notre Dame Cathedral he longs to be outside mingling with other people [Music] [Applause] [Music] when we find out that the evil Frollo only adopted him because he killed Quasimodo's mother we can't help but feel even more sorry for him when you're heartless mother abandoned you as a child anyone else would have drowned you and this is my thanks for taking you in and raising you as my son it's a true testament to quazy strength of character that he overcomes his abusive upbringing to show compassion and bravery to do what's right [Applause] do you agree with our picks check
