Surpasses it, if you ask me.
Are we talking about death scenes only? If so TLK is the 2nd, maybe third saddest death scene in a Disney movie. In my opinion. "Up" beats it in death scenes for sure. Either way, it's not the saddest and oddly enough you replying to me telling me I am wrong, hasn't changed my mind lol. IT's not the World Issues forum, you can't prove someone's opinion on a work of fiction to be wrong like you can on real world things that actually have proof and evidence
If we are talking general sad scenes then plenty of other Disney films and scenes are leagues ahead of TLK in the eomotion scale for me/
To name a few:
Homeward Bound
TLK2
Aladdin
Fox And The Hound
Toy Story 3
I would at least put those five Disney films above TLK in sad scenes. I do think TLK is the better overal film, just not the saddest.[/quote]
I can't think of any Disney film that has so many strong emotion-triggering scenes as TLK, it has for example the opening scene, Mufasa's death, the Simba and Mufasa-scene, Mufasa in the clouds-scene, final battle and so on. But to the point, I think Mufasa's death is the saddest in any Disney time since we see the main character's reactions to this and so much happen to him after that. In other Disney movies we don't really see the characters reactions to the deaths so much, for example when Todd's mother dies in The fox and the hound.
