Day 26

Saddest Death:

Mufasa's Death

There is nothing worse than losing a parent, but then Simba thinks that he is responsible for his father's death. Then Scar convinces him to run away and never return home. Simba then lives a large portion of his life believing he is the one that killed his father, so although he is living a wonderful life, he is constantly shadowed with guilt. I can't think of a more devastating Disney death than this one.

Honorable Mention: Ellie in Up. First we have to see Ellie's heart broken when she can't have children and then we watch her get sick before she ever gets to have her adventure. I do like that her words inspire Carl even after she is gone though.

What death do you think is the saddest?
