* There's a horrifying MoodWhiplash right at the end of the mostly wacky and lighthearted MakeMineMusic. We speak, of course, of ''The Whale Who Wanted To Sing At The Met'', the story of Willie, an opera-singing whale who dreams of being a star despite the species barrier, and a crazed sailor Tetti-Tatti who is convinced that the singing is a result of Willie having swallowed opera singers. The majority of the short is light-hearted wacky cartoon gags, as Willie sings a repertoire of his best songs and Tetti-Tatti is foiled in his every attempt to harpoon Willie (as his own crew love the singing so much they don't allow him). And then, just as the short winds to a close, suddenly Tetti-Tatti takes the harpoon gun and does the deed. The music stops as we see the absolute heartbreaking silhouette of a harpooned Willie leaping from the water one last time before sinking beneath the sea. Just to drive the point home, we see Willie's seagull friend sitting by the sea, sobbing uncontrollably as the narrator tries to soothe him. The sadness is mitigated only slightly by the reveal that Willie now plays sold-out shows in heaven. Disney dealt with some deep issues here - some of us won't realize our dreams before we die, and that this world is full of people who "aren't used to miracles" and will destroy them.

* ''The Tigger Movie'', a video in which Tigger discovers the [[FridgeLogic implications]] of being "the only one": He has no family.
** This troper nearly choked up with tears when she heard Tigger, after finding out that his friends disguised as his family weren't his actual family and goes off to find them, say the exact words, "TTFE: Ta-ta forever!" It nearly broke me into tears.
** The worst part was near the end, when, certain that his non-existent family is coming back for him, Tigger ventures deep into the woods during a snowstorm. The sheer heartbreak on his face and in his voice as he suddenly realizes no one's there is just...
*** And then it just kept piling on the angst. Tigger's friends go after him in said perilous snowstorm and BEG for him to come home and out of danger. The way Tigger painfully shouts "NO" makes you feel every ounce of what both sides are experiencing in that scene.
** [[spoiler: Just after the above "NO" scene, an avalanche starts. Everyone runs for the nearest object, the tree Tigger believed to be his family tree. Tigger starts bouncing with all his might to get everyone else to safety, and as soon as he tosses up his last friend, Rabbit, he gets swept away by the avalanche. Roo then goes in to rescue him. A shock chord plays when Tigger gets attacked by the avalanche, cue lots of flinching and shocked gasps.]]
*** [[spoiler: For that extra touch, listen carefully, who is the person giving the most shrill and horrified reaction to Tigger's supposed demise? [[VitriolicBestBuds Rabbit]].]]
-->'''Rabbit:''' Are you crazy!? It's not safe out here!
-->'''Tigger:''' Exac-ti-cally! That's why you should all go home where it's safe! But I've got to wait here in my family tree. ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis For my! Real!]]'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Family!]]'''''
** Roo's role in the story is even more heartbreaking, spending the entire movie trying to cheer up Tigger and get his idol to notice and love him like a 'big brother', though is either ignored in Tigger's obsession to find his family, or makes things worse. This hits even harder during the climax where he repeatedly attempts to just hug Tigger [[ArentYouForgettingSomeone though is distracted or ignored each and every time]], until about the final two minutes when Tigger finally accepts his friends as his real family and thus gives special notice to his "bestest little brother". Having been mostly a side character in previous Pooh features, an enormous [[TheWoobie Woobie]] role was a good way to start Roo's ascention as a BreakoutCharacter, suitingly just like Tigger himself.
** This moment before the avalanche
** And then there's the end credits song, "Your Heart Will Lead You Home." In fact, the end credits period, still drawing replicating events of the story but in the style of E. H. Shepard, the original illustrator of the Winnie The Pooh novels. The same heartbreaking story with an added nostalgic tear for fans of the original A. A. Milne books.
