Tweedy who snatches her by the neck and hands her off to his equally sinister wife mrs. Tweety takes Edwina to a shed and in silhouette we see her bring down an axe on a chopping block while edweena's death occurs off screen the later shot of chicken bones on the Tweedy dinner table leaves no doubt about her fate number 6 Peter Parker spider-man spider-man into the spider-verse yeah even in a film overloaded with spider men and women losing even one of them is a lot to take in when Miles Morales stumbles upon Peter Parker there's every hint that the elder spider-man will become an important mentor for the young aspiring hero sadly that possibility is tragically cut off when Peter falls in battle and is ruthlessly executed by the kingpin it won't work there god it's so sudden and unexpected that for a brief moment it's easy to think Peters somehow survived unfortunately the next scene leaves no doubt as to Peter's fate as Mary Jane is shown delivering a public eulogy for her dead husband although this particular universe gains a new spider-man and miles the death of Peter Parker hits hard our own way we are all in spider-man number 5 stoic How to Train Your Dragon 2 when you play with fire you're gonna get burned during a heated battle against the ruthless dragon trapper drago bludvist hiccups loyal Night Fury toothless is turned against his friend under the control of Drago's mind-controlling bewilder beast toothless launches a fatal plasma bolt at hiccup who

own dragon killed his father is too much to bear go on get out of here having just reunited stoic with his long-lost wife Velka hiccups desire to have both his parents and the picture goes up in smoke with his father's passing I know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of Kings for a great man has fallen Number Four littlefoot's mother the land before time many animated movies to pick children losing a parent but very few offer up scenes is emotionally traumatic as the death of littlefoot's mother after witnessing his mother fight off the vicious Sharptooth young longneck Littlefoot is separated from her during a massive earthquake as a nightly downpour rolls in Littlefoot finds his mother slumped on a pile of rocks struggling to breathe and close to death distraught Littlefoot begs her to get up but slowly realizes the truth as his mother tells him she'll always be with him even if you can't see me as the camera pulls out viewers are left with the haunting image of a son losing his mother a reminder that at some point we'll all face a world without our parents in it number 3 Optimus Prime the Transformers the movie a good leader brings out the best in his or her followers but they shouldn't have to die to make it happen through Optimus Prime an entire generation of kids found out the hard way what true leadership looks like in a shocking first act twist the Autobot leader sustains life-threatening injuries in a battle with his arch nemesis Megatron prime you could have died do not grieve instead of making a miraculous recovery Optimus dies surrounded by his friends with his dying breath Optimus passes down the matrix of leadership to a young Autobot named hot rod who seems ill-equipped to follow in Prime's footsteps I should past the matrix of leadership as it was passed to me by prime and I'm just a soldier a while Optimus was resurrected the following year in the transformers TV series his death would leave a lasting impact for decades to come matrix to light [Music] number 2 Charlie be barking all dogs go to heaven although the movies title says it all there's really no way to properly prepare for watching a cartoon dog die after escaping from the pound Charlie B Barkin is betrayed by his former business partner carface Carruthers take Charlie aback the big surprise carface and his accomplice killer get charlie drunk blindfold him on a dock and hurtle a runaway car at him knocking the poor dog into the water it's unclear if Charlie's cause of death is from the impact of getting hit by a car or from drowning either way Charlie winds up at the pearly gates but that doesn't excuse the fact that viewers just watched an intoxicated German Shepherd get run over by a car are we sure this is a movie made for kids oh not to
