While I agree that Mr. Incredible learning that his friends had been murdered was dark, I think Syndrome trying to murder his wife and kids was darker. Hearing Mrs. Incredible plead for the lives of her kids still gets me.
Dark Fairy what about in the end where Syndrome’s cape gets stuck in the airplane jet turbine?
Alphanubilus1 same
I feel like the Incredibles alone could take up half of this list.
And that Mr. Incredible forced to hear as a way of torture makes it more darker. And his reaction is so real.
@@esmemanvia3364 it's not so dark anymore that syndrome tries to attack him emotionally by killing his family. I've seen this too many times and while it still makes me mad, it gets too repetitive and boring
The Scream Extractor. Now that was a machine scarier than all the monsters in the Monster World.
You better believe it
@@trash_man_rizuberry I do especially since we at least saw what people can become should the scream Extraction be successful even if we only saw Randall's henchman falling victim of it
Randall even smile when Boo was about to get exracted.
That thing is the real monster
@@waikeonglim7703 Even it it was Randall's sicekick the sole victim of the extractor that does not make it better for me imo
When Bing Bongs sacrifices himself I cried so hard 😭😭
Me too!
Me too
Same
Can Ellie's death really be considered dark? She died a natural, presumably painless death. I think her finding out she couldn't have children was a darker moment.
Painless aside from the fact that she was poked with a needle to insert an IV
Oh for sure@@benjaminodhner1175
Even Disney/PIXAR isn't afraid to shy away from dark moments.
Sid torturing the toys should have been on the list.
That always terrified the hell outta me as a kid.
The way the caterpillar children played the toys freaked me out and it grossed me out
I Agree
How could they not include it? Sid is a monster!
Ellie's death should have been #2 or #3. That was crushing to watch the first time.
It probably didn't make it because it was more bittersweet than dark
@@runalongnowm8 True..at least it was honorably mentioned.
It’s because it’s not really dark it’s just really depressing
I highly disagree.... It's crushing to watch every time. To slowly watch a fiery child's life and dream be slowly extinguished till she dies. To see the loss in her husband's eyes. To see her even be denied children to have a different dream come true. If that isn't dark I don't know what is.
We looked at that scene for an analysis in English class in my final year and the teacher said “What happened in that scene?” And I said “Ellie a skelly!”
Omg when Hector realized that Ernesto murdered him to steal his songs, I cried 😭
I wasn't crying but I was very mad at Ernesto
I too was shocked to see Hector realize that his own friend caused his death when he wanted to go back to his family. It just broke my heart when Hector screamed that he wanted to go back home as he was dragged away by Ernesto's guards. Hector's the sweetest soul I've come to love, and would be lucky to be his friend.
@@stephanieevjen you must love this character so much! (I see your profile picture 😉)
@@fckyoudidntask642 Yes, I do. Plus, there are plenty of gals who love that guy just as much as me.
If i were in Coco, i would have insulted Ernesto with so much swearing that the film would've had another rating
The Baracuda attack in Finding Nemo and the Incinerator in Toy Story 3 is one of the darkest moment in Pixar history
Agreed
Hector's death too
Everyone always talks about the beginning of Up, but not the part where Charles Muntz talks about killing a bunch of people who tried to come to Paradise Falls. I find that way darker, and it was the darkest Pixar moment in my opinion until Coco used murder in their story. Especially the part where he basically threatens to kill the main characters with a sinister grin on his face. "An old man taking his house to Paradise Falls. Oh, that's the best one yet, I can't wait to hear how it ENDS...."
Omg yes, that scene is more darker for alot of people cryed to the beginning for how emotional it is, plus ellie died by age, muntz just straight up murder multiple people because of his insanity, and what seels the deal is how he threatens both Carl and Russell
@@rjcorreia3788, my thoughts, exactly. While I do agree that the beginning was indeed grim and sad to watch, I still will never FORGET how absolutely insane and over-dedicated Muntz really was to getting Kevin and how he was that close to attempting to kill both an elderly man and a kid. A FREAKING KID!! It still makes my blood turn to ice to this very day!
I personally think Lightning's crash should have ranked at least somewhere on the list. One, he basically has a mental breakdown right before it happens. 😳 Two, that editing and especially the sound design cuts into you. Three, BRAVE move by Pixar to maul one of their most - if not THE most - marketable character!!
Yes i totally agree, they should have used this scene in the brave spot ( also a lot of the marketing was from this one scene)
Yea, lightning and this sheriff crashes
Naw the rod redline death scene was dark for not just kids films but for films in general. Theres no way around saying he was brutally killed
Cars 3 made me ugly cry so hard
@@claudespeed277 He was a minor character, and Pixar has more or less confirmed that Cars 2 is non-canon. McQueen is the franchise's most important, instantly-recognized character. Even if you haven't seen the movies (or one of the million shorts), you probably know who he is. Which is why people reacted to the crash in Cars 3 more than the murder in Cars 2.
I think that the moment when Charles Muntz *burned Carl's house* in _UP_ , is definitely one of the *saddest, darkest and most horrible scenes* 😢
He didn't burn it entirely.
I love how msmojo just dragged up all my traumatizing memories from my childhood
NOT!!
Bro I was HORRIFIED as a kid when i saw that car death in Cars 2 like BRO WHAT THE HELL?!?!? At least Cars 3 won't have any dark stuff right? *sees Mcqueens brutal accident* ....I'm done
Omg right
I know right 😱
Like,why the hell should it be an honorable mention?!
Right?! Like, when I first saw Cars 2 in theaters back in 2011, I NEARLY ran out of the theater in absolute horror when Torque was killed. That was extremely dark for a Pixar film...
The look on Sally's face when McQueen crashes makes the movie more darker in my opinion but it is not just me right?
Man, I saw Toy Story 3 in theaters when I was sixteen almost seventeen and was ABSOLUTELY AMAZED seeing that Incinerator scene and I even felt worried about my heroes wondering if it was going to be their doom even though it was Toy Story I still didn't know in a way you know. Seeing the whole entire scene play out on the big screen was SO EPIC though! It took me away! Yet, when the claw grabbed them and saved them and the aliens were like, "The claw!" Let's just say that I couldn't love that line even more! Lol:)
Here's a fact. In the movie they were supposed to die but the people behind the movie realized it was WAY to dark and made the aliens save them.
@@abigailarredondo6257 well yeah like they would do a children’s movie were they all die for crying out loud
I saw Toy Story 3 the day it came out in theaters and i was in 1st grade
my brother & i r twins & we were 15. so was our cousin. we saw it with her, her friend & her brother. i still cant believe pixar ruined it with a fourth movie & now theyre even making a fifth damn one. 3 was the perfect finale & ts4 ruined it & my childhood. i tried being a little open minded when i saw it but not that much & im not even gonna bother with the fifth damn one. no offense if u wanna see it but it sounds like an even bigger cash grab than ts4
10. Hoppers Death (A bugs life 1998)
9. Wall-E's near death experience (WALL-E 2008)
8. Queen Elinor vs Mor'du (Brave 2012)
7. Bing Bong is forgotten (Inside out 2015)
6. The Scream Extractor (Monsters Inc 2001)

4. Mr. Incredible discovers the truth of Kronos (The Incredibles 2004)

Honorable Mentions:
Ellie's death (Up 2009)
Torque is Tortured and killed (Cars 2 2011)
Arlo's dads death (The good Dinosaur 2015)
Woodys Nightmare (Toy story 2 1999)
Lightning Mcqueens Accident (Cars 3 2017)
1. The Incinerator (Toy story 3 2010)
I've never seen Cars 3, but when I saw Lightning's accident...good gosh, my heart sunk.
The movie ripped my heart apart in a couple places
The look on Boo’s face in the thumbnail is heartbreaking
I don’t see Bing Bong saying “Take her to the moon for me” as being literally going to the moon, I think he meant it more as “Give her the absolute best life you can give her”.
I kinda took that literally thinking that Joy was going to actually sign Riley up for NASA or SpaceX to go to the moon. 😅
Ellie's death is just an honorable mention!?? U can't be serious. Still gives me shivers.
KiTTyCaT my thoughts exactly.... I call a mulligan on this list
But it's not dark. I think it's beautiful you see the lively life they had and she died at peace content with the life she had. Death it natural, and not everyone gets to live to old age with the live of their life. It's sad sure but not dark.
I agree Ellie's death was more sad than dark. Though I would say the scene in which she receives the news that she can't have children was dark.
It's not dark
It’s supposed to be a dark scene not sad
Awww!! These moments are such heartcrushing!! Especially the moments from brave, coco, inside out, monster's inc, wall-E, and a bug's life!! Pixar is the one that gives us mostly tearjerkers! I think more than the disney company!!still outta all on this list, coco still affects me the most!! Ernesto is such a monster! Aww and who can't forget up and the good dinosaur and omg! Cars 3 and toy story 3 affected me the most too!!
Mr Incredible finding out the truth AND Mrs Incredible being goaded by Edna is one of my FAVORITE Pixar moments here. So much tension..
Clicked so fast doctor strange did not see it coming
But did Quicksilver?
@@brentage5000 nope lol
When Bing Bong were forgotten, it really made me cry, I felt it inside my heart.💔
Fabiola Rivas, Absolutely. I felt the same way.
@@readingwithelizabeth993¡I know! It's the same felling everytime I see the movie. 😭
How is Ellie's death from "Up" a dark one? What about Charles Months death? When he fell to his death off of the floating house that should've been on the list.
Or the fact that he literally murdered other explorers
I think you guys hit the nail on the head with this one. It's a great list! For the people asking why Up is only an honorable mention, think about it. Yes, Ellie's death is heart breaking and devastatingly painful, but when compared to the rest of this list, it's small potatoes. The other deaths are grisly and grotesque, and both death and non-death scenes are straight up nightmare-inducing. Ellie is tear-jerking, but you will never convince me that that's darker than the rat traps, the scream extractor, the incinerator, or Ernesto poisoning Hector. I love Up and I love Ellie, but for this list, she's where she's supposed to be. I might rearrange a couple of things that made the list, but it's really good as is. Well done, MsMojo!
The moments when pixar shows that they make films for the adults too
With Bing Bong being forgotten it is more sad than dark but first time you watch Inside Out you knew that was most likely going to happen but it still makes you cry and it gets me almost every time
That attack in Finding Nemo gives me chills, this is why Nemo has the bad fin. And don't get me started on Coco.
The beginning of Finding Nemo with the Barracuda has been my biggest fear for years. I still have Nightmares of that scene.
Had a feeling Coco was gonna be in this list, so I had to click "Like". How could anybody ever harm such a sweet soul like Hector? I will never forgive Ernesto for what's he done! Oh, Hector, avenge you I will!
Oh my gosh yes, felt so bad for him
For me Lightnings crash always gets me I was a kid when Cars was released and now as an adult to see a childhood favorite character go through something akin to a real life car wreck it made me flinch and about cry when I first saw the trailer but even now it makes me wince seeing that scene
Same
Not to mention how he knows that Hudson hornet and the king crashed before he did
The Scream Extractor was originally going to be worse. There was going to be a shoy of thousands of cages before Sully came to rescue Boo, as a way to indicate that Randall and Waternoose are ready to put their plan into full scale as soon as possible, but Pixar felt the scene by itself was already disurbing enough, so the idea was scrapped.
Ellie’s death in “Up” made me cry. It was so real, especially when you saw what the couple wanted to do with their lives and not quite getting there. Seriously, that scene just ripped me.
I consider the incinerator scene to not only be the darkest Pixar moment, but the darkest moment in all of Disney.
We ALL consider it to be the darkest. Maybe not the darkest DISNEY moment, but definitely the darkest PIXAR moment. Granted, Pixar is a subsidiary OF Disney, but still.
Toy story is the best darkest moments. It makes it so impactful and memorable.
Lightning crash will always be N1 darkest scene for me
Words cannot describe how much i HATED Lotso because of that scene! 🤬
Me and my brother both carry that anger throughout our whole childhood and we still do
I call him a "rotten strawberry" because he smells like strawberries, but he's EVIL!
@@TheEsauman "Rotten Strawberry" I am SO using that term now! 😄
All of these dark Pixar moments deserved to be on this list given the nature. The Scream Extractor scene from Monsters, Inc. is definitely dark enough for any child terrified of monsters. So was the Incinerator scene from Toy Story 3. That was also dark to watch. Thank goodness Sulley saved Boo before she suffered being experimented by the Scream Extractor. Please make another list regarding this topic, Ms. Mojo. Then make a top 20 list for darkest Pixar moments. I’m still gonna be watching these Pixar movies, despite their darkest moments.
Emily sure enjoys Pixar (not to say I don't, I enjoy it, too).
She loves Disney, as well
I like both.
I have to admit the Incredibles one is probably one of my favorite Pixar scene...
The Rat Traps,The Fish Attack, and Kronos one was dark for me. The rest was just sad.
SClearS ok the Car murder was dark. But others are sad
that is exactly what i was thinking
the best thing to get from all of this is that Bing Bong will never be forgotten 🙏🏾💕
I still can’t believe the 2nd slot of this list happened!! 😱
484: If Randall Boggs did get away with it, I would be terrified to see kids in a sick death image.
Oh yeah, Fungus is one thing, but poor Boo...*shudders*
I love the contrast of the sheer horror of Hopper's situation and how adorable the chicks look when jumping for their food
Damn, watching bing bong's sacrifice again honestly made me tear up... I wasn't ready 4 this list😞
Monsters inc will forever be the best Pixar and Disney as a whole movie ever
Honestly it might just be the best movie EVER for me. I just love it that much
Monster's Inc will forever have a special place in my heart.
😊😄
My Favorite Pixar Movies 1 being best 10 being least best
1.) Nemo
2.)Monsters University
3.)Toy Story
4.)Toy Story 4
5.)Inside Out
6.)Incredibles
7.)Incredibles 2
8.)Finding Dory
10.)Up
I always skip the barracuda attack whenever I watch Finding Nemo. Poor Marlin 😢
Bruh the music and the death stare was just creepy
@@artisttrahcan I agree I'm 17 years old and I'm still scared of it I'd first watch it in 2003 it scarred me for life and I have nightmares of it
@@artisttrahcan 😳um ok
@@redalert923 SAME!!! The Beginning of Finding Nemo when the “Thing” comes out and attacks has been my biggest fear years. Pixar might’ve overdid that part. I still have nightmares of that seen.
You know what would stop dark moments in Finding Nemo? Making sure that Klaus Von Hertzon's Aquos Griffon kills the producers if they plan on dark moments like that again.
Why the scene from Brave where Merida and Elinor find the ruined ancient kingdom and are attacked by Mor'du is not on this list? It looks like something taken from a horror movie! It's the most darkest, scariest, and gruesome scene in the Pixar universe in my opinion.
Elastigirl looking at "Screenslaver's" Lair and Merida revealing the prince is Mordu are scary!
A guy having hit entire family slaughtered with the sole survivor being permanently disfigured < a guy getting killed in a world wgere there is an afterlife. Huh... seems legit...
I found Riley running away from home the darkest and when Carl assaults that construction worker.
Everytime I watch the incredibles I always get chills during that scene
Let's be honest
Toy story 3 in general can get quite dark =O
Yep. Toy Story 4 may be even worse
@@jaxthewolf4572,how?? It wasn't as dark as toy story 3.
I made that comment a few months ago and it was mere speculation, I still haven't seen Toy Story 4 yet.
I think because they’re targeting the audience who grew up with the movies and not so much kids.
People tend to forget that monsters inc is a extremely dark movie as well simply because of the villains plan and how one of them takes pleasure in it
The barracuda attack gave me several nightmares and chills as a child
Can you make a video on Disney moments that are hard to watch without cringing?
Half the list is gonna be Inside Out isn't it?
Basically all of Ralph breaks the internet and the tweeting joke from moana
I can't watch the Up opening scene anymore without thinking of the ending of Avengers Endgame.
Well, Up came almost ten years before Endgame did and three years before the original movie. So even though the Avengers are more iconic, no one will believe that.
@@DrHaydentheFunny It has to do with the Steve/Peggy dance thing plus them finally having a life together, and for a minute the score almost sounded a little like the track Married Life from Up. To me at least. I have weird triggers and certain things remind me of other things.
That rat traps shop terrified the crap outta me as a kid and still does today!😰😰😰😰😰
I didn't remeber number 10, but I definetly agree that is dark, it gave me goosebumps.
When I saw our favorite toy movie characters heading towards their fate it was a totally “holy shit” moment there
Great list Mrs. Mojo! Can you please make a 10 saddest last words of Disney characters
Agree with first one
I remember feeling sad and anxious watching this scene
The theme music helped a lot for building this dark moment
By first one do you mean the first one to show up (#10, bugs life scene), or the top pick?
-RockBandRocker-
The top pick😬 that wasn’t clear enough
Excuse me, but did everyone forget about McQueen's crash that, for several months, made everyone question whether or not he was dead? Granted, the scene of the crash doesn't last too long, but yeesh, it was a major plot point and even left him with PTSD (or something resembling it, I'm no psychiatrist). How did it only get an honorable mention?
Same, it also made him mourn the lost friendship of Doc and he fell into a depression while painfully recovering from his wounds wondering if he still had "all that stuff" in him or not.
Exactly, plus it's a resemblance to the first movie when strip withers crashed except unlike chick using physical force, storm used mental manipulation before lighting crashes which is another reason why this scene is dark
PTSD?
@@mlpartclub412 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Omg Bing bong and Corals deaths and the toy box gang near death experience 😭 why Watchmojo why
The Hopper death personnaly pleased me... 😏
Me too!
Pleasing? Yes. Dark? Oh hell yes. Dark things can happen to villains, too.
That's especially brutal given how the hatchlings almost certainly ripped him apart like a pack of wolves.
Wow, Pixar movies have so seriously dark moments. Boy, someone's got some cojones to show this. A lot of tears were shed when I saw this scenes.
As soon as I saw Up while you were saying "here are some honourable mentions" I was like "don't you dare don't you dare DON'T YOU DA-- they did it." 😖
Jesus Christ just hearing the description I get depressed.😐
Only Pixar can make it visually magnificent enough to put these in a kids movie lol😂
I expected Leland Turbo's (red spy car from start of cars 2) death to be here, since he was crushed into a box, and his corpse was shown on screen.
I am so impressed!!
When bing bong is forgotten... that’s the saddest moment in any movie.... ;^;
I can't even HEAR the music of UP without tearing up. Wtf Pixar
Yep. Pixar is justbtoo good and irresistable for us not to feel very strongly about its universally memorable moments like their whole films whether they be feature films or short films.
When I First saw Wall.E's death scene when I was 5 years old, I was shocked that Wall.E Has been crushed to death by Auto. That was the most dark pixar moment to me.
Awesome video
Ellie's death was more unsettling than Mr. Incredible finding out his friends are dead through a screen. She didn't complete her dream & it was ultimately crushed, Carl wanted to give her that last bit of hope but she didn't even reach the top of the hill in which he could surprise her, not to mention the fact that she couldn't have kids as she wanted to, having to use up trip money for accidents, & in the end Carl staying all alone. I think that deserves more recognition.
The Good Dinosaur is the darkest Pixar film IMO, but I still love that movie and I believe it is one of the most criminally underrated animated films of all time.
I love the Good Dinosaur so much! I hate that Inside Out got all the fame!
I mean I love Inside Out, but I love the Good Dinosaur more
A really dark Moment is when hectors "uncle" dies the"last death"
You mean Chicharron?
Wall E Getting squashed and losing his memory always breaks my heart with several tears
Because I'm twenty years old now, I think the captain deserves a slap in for not super risking his life to save WALL-E quicker.
Hopper is actually the very first Pixar villain to have a death scene, because he died when he was eaten alive by the baby chicks in the rain. I just love the rain climax scene from A Bug's Life, it's so awesome! To me, it kind of reminds me of the climax near the end of An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. The theatrical sequel to An American Tail. Why? Because it feels like it. That's what I think/say.
His death from A Bug's Life may sound morbid and dark but his horrified screams are music to my ear for how cruel and evil he was to the ants and Flick for the way he strangled him.
MrAcrizzy Agreed. And Lotso is the most evil Pixar villain ever!
Gerard Gianoli, II Yeah!
Tristen Moore Yeah. I can see that.
@@tristenmoore1275 So true, Hopper remained unremorseful for his evil and cruel treatment to the ants that he was never going to stop what he was doing. So leading him to the birds nest was the only way to stop him once and for all.
We all new what number 1 would be
Top ten happiest moments in Pixar movies
So Dark! Sure they're not from the DC Universe?
I got the reference to Deadpool 2
When I saw Toy Story 3 in the theaters when I was 9 I was about to walk out of the theater until the claw reached down to save them. THE CLAWWWWW!
how the HELL is up only a honorable mension
Pardon my language
Because I personally wouldn't consider it dark, more just sad
@@s-nih fair enough
This entire list brought back so many memories that I had forgotten /Didn’t know
"The Claw." Shouldn't of cutted that out.
What about in Coco there is a song in the movie called "La Llorona" which is base on the legend of the weeping women who drowned her children there is a horror movie about her you can't go darker than that. A song in a child's film that's based on a woman killing children .....
Very very great list I like it a lot and a lot of fun too and very funny too
I cried over Bing Bong for days
Torque’s torture and death messed me up as a small child, I think I was like “wait…mummy did they kill him?” Only to realise and be traumatised
Good pick. I remember watching toy story 3 for the first time truly again that it was the end for the gang 🥺
1:18 Cute baby birds
I came here to see the incinerator scene at #1. Was not disappointed. That scene actually terrified me when I first saw it at the age of 7. It's still a dark moment but I can definitely watch it now.
Who else thought the incinerator scene from Toy Story 3 would be #1?!
Me, I honestly can't think of a more depressing and traumatic pixar moment.
I knew the incinerator would be #1
Omg the incinerator!!! I actually cried! Really did not expect them to be saved!
This background music is gorgeous.
"take her to the moon for me, ok?" IM SOBBING
Finding Nemo beginning was literally *TRAGIC* 😢
I like the video but I also think the scene in a bug's life where Flick mercilessly almost gets beaten and stomped to death in front of his people when all they could do was watch was very dark. It was similar to an execution scene. I barely hear people talk about it but that's just me, still great list.
Agreed, that was hard to watch! But I think the whole movie is pretty dark in general. It has its amusing moments, but still
Yeah and the movie in a way reminded me of chicken run with the ants being forced into hard labor just to please the grasshoppers
@@jaxthewolf4572 exactly! Me too
