Behind-The-Scenes Facts About Some of Disney’s Most Heartbreaking Moments

If there’s one thing it seems like Disney loves to do with their films, it’s to make the adults in the room cry. From Bambi to Up and too many in between to name, who among us hasn’t broken down in the fact of animated beauty and loss?

If you’re a big Disney fan, you’re not going to want to miss these fun (and sad) tidbits that helped shape some of their more heartbreaking moments.

14. Disney wasn’t willing to invest much in Lilo & Stitch.

It wasn’t based on a fairy tale and included tough storylines, which in Disney’s mind made it a “gutsy” movie – and they invested much less in it as a result.

13. Many of the early films include parent death for a reason.

They need the character to grow up, says executive producer Don Hahn.

“The movies are 80 or 90 minutes long, and Disney films are about growing up. They’re about that day in your life when you have to accept responsibility.”

12. Originally, Bing Bong’s death in Inside Out was more drawn out.

It was “a lot sadder” and I, for one, and glad we didn’t get to see it.

11. They tried to make Mufasa “the greatest father that ever lived.”

You know, so it would hurt more when he died. Jerks.

10. Actor Kaitlyn Dias imagined her cat dying in order to cry on cue.

She’s the voice of Riley in Inside Out.

9. Kristen Bell inspired “The Next Right Thing.”

It’s a personal mantra she uses to handle her own depression and anxiety.

8. The originally planned to reveal Nemo’s tragic beginnings slower.

They were going to intercut Nemo in the net with the scenes of the barracuda.

7. Andy looking back at his toys one last time was inspired by director Lee Unkrich’s last moment with his grandmother.

“I went back to visit her, and there was a moment during that visit that I had to say goodbye, and I knew I’d never be seeing her again. I looked at her and knew that I was looking at her for the last time. Taking that in before I turned away and left. Of course, that’s something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.”

6. Onward creator Dan Scanlon based the relationship on his own with his brother.

His father died when he was a baby, and he knew he wanted the film to end with Ian realizing Barley was a perfect father figure.

5. Tadashi was always going to die.

Image Credit: Disney

It was part of the initial pitch for Big Hero 6, and the rest of the story and moments were all built around that “emotional core.”

4. They originally left out the gory details at the beginning of Tarzan.

Image Credit: Disney

Director Kevin Lima explained that not only did audiences not quite get it, but the impact was off, too.

“There is a yin and a yang to these pictures that is good. When these awful things happen, you can feel the joy later in the film all the more. It’s a savage world out there, even when you walk out your front door and out on the street, and kids realize that.”

3. They almost cut the moment in Up when Ellie learns she can’t have children.

Image Credit: Disney

Some thought it was going “too far,” but others knew it was just what they needed to really make people care about them and their journey.

2. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen cried together watching Jessie get donated during Toy Story 2.

Image Credit: Disney

Hanks said, “I was in tears, and we were looking at each other, going, ‘That’s some powerful stuff.’ To be reduced to that and to a level of emotion like that on a cartoon about talking toys and their adventures, it’s profound, there’s no other word for it.”

1. It took animators nearly a year to perfect the scene in The Little Mermaid where Eric almost dies.

Image Credit: Disney

The final scene was only about 2 minutes long.

I’m tearing up again but it’s fine. I’m fine.

What’s the saddest moment in a Disney movie for you? Now that I’m a mom, it’s definitely Dumbo. 

I’m seriously never watching it again.

Behind the Scenes Stories That Will Totally Change How You Look at Certain Movies

We all have our favorite films, and it’s pretty fun to learn even more about a film that means so much to us.

Sometimes, learning more about what happened behind the scenes can even change how you look at a movie entirely.

It’s just always amazing to learn something new about a movie that you know so well!

These 10 behind the scenes facts are about some of your favorite films: Kill Bill, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and more.

1. John Wick had a different name.

The film was originally called Scorn, but Keanu Reeves kept forgetting the name of the movie in interviews, so they changed it for him.

2. Michael B. Jordan was committed.

The actor chose to wear Killmonger’s scars the entire time he filmed Black Panther.

He said he was inspired by Denzel Washington’s decision to wear his scars while filming Glory.

3. Shooting Kill Bill was put on pause.

Uma Thurman got pregnant, and director Quentin Tarantino made the choice to put filming on pause instead of recasting her.

4. Indiana Jones changed ratings.

Seriously: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is the actual reason why the PG-13 rating exists now.

5. Frank Sinatra was almost in Die Hard.

That’s right: the studio wanted Ol’ Blue Eyes for the role of John McClaine, even though he was 73 at the time.

6. Chris Evans was almost in Deadpool 2.

But he wouldn’t have played Captain America! He would have played Human Torch.

7. Daniel Craig was enthusiastic.

The actor cut off part of his finger while filming Quantum of Solace! No, not on purpose. ?

8. Michelle Yeoh also got hurt.

She tore her ACL while filming Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but kept doing her own stunts anyway.

9. Independence Day had an agenda.

The team behind this Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum film created the entire story around the name of the movie.

They wanted to beat Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! and realized their movie would have to be released in July, one month before Burton’s.

10. Sigourney Weaver is really, really good.

She actually made that “impossible” over-the-shoulder basketball shot in Alien Resurrection.

Okay, what do you think? Any of these surprise you?

Let us know in the comments!

A Girl’s Mask Was Attached to Her Earring in Piercing Mishap

Getting your ears pierced is a rite of passage, but getting your ears pierced during a pandemic sounds like nothing short of a nightmare. Just ask 16-year-old Sissy Sheridan.

The Tik Tok teen and Nickelodeon actress shared a distressing video of her piercing with the online community. As she choked back sobs, she said that an employee at Icing by Claire’s in Sterling, Virginia, near her home, pierced her face mask to her ear.

@itssissysheridanmoral of the story. don’t get your ears pierced during a pandemic♬ original sound – itssissysheridan

Sissy and her mom tried to get the mask out by cutting a good portion of the string away, but were unable to get it all removed. Claire’s said it would honor her request for a full refund, if she brought the earrings back.

When she went for her appointment, she made sure to wear two masks a precaution and didn’t feel the string as it went in. In fact, she didn’t notice that the mask was stuck until she tried to remove it as she and her mom drove home. That’s when she became hysterical.

@itssissysheridanwhere it all went wrong❤ (the first ear was the one she pierced my mask to)♬ original sound – itssissysheridan

The next day, a much calmer Sissy told Tik Tok viewers that she saw the humor in her situation, although it initially scared her.

@itssissysheridanEAR PIERCING UPDATE ? ?♬ original sound – itssissysheridan

She and her mom were also finally able to get the remainder of the mask off by “folding her ears forward.” She still had to wait a few days to remove the earring as it was too swollen, and she was still in a lot pain.

There’s no word on any other piercings in Sissy’s future—at least during the pandemic.

Have you ever had a piercings that didn’t go like you though it should? Share your stories below!

Tweets for Anyone Struggling With the Thought of Parenting for One More Minute

I’m not sure I’ve ever done something in my life that feels like a bigger contradiction than parenting.

I love my kids, but I could use a break. I want to do right by them, but I think I’m doing a terrible job. I want to hold onto them tight forever, but I want to teach them to be independent and happy.

It goes on and on and on, but if one thing is true, it’s that hearing how other parents are also struggling day-to-day can really put things in perspective.

These hilarious and heartfelt tweets definitely did that for me!

16. I’m sure he’ll miss you, though.

At least until he’s old enough to get his own phone.

Image Credit: Twitter

15. That’s if you’re lucky.

There are obviously fates worse than death, and toddlers know about them all.

Image Credit: Twitter

14. They are unfailingly honest.

I’m sure the day will come when we appreciate that fact.

Image Credit: Twitter

13. It makes you feel older than you already do.

What has happened to our once-sharp brains, y’all?

Image Credit: Twitter

12. So many terrible ways to wake up.

Having to clean the floor is up there, for sure.

Image Credit: Twitter

11. A more apt observation I have not seen.

Just say no to touching kids, period.

Image Credit: Twitter

10. Hey, they asked.

But yeah, I think that’s what they meant.

Image Credit: Twitter

9. It’s important to reward even the inanimate objects in your life.

I mean, it makes as much sense as anything else now.

Image Credit: Twitter

8. That’s definitely a rule.

Just because you didn’t know it needed to be one doesn’t make it less real.

7. You are raising this girl right.

Or she’s figuring it out on her own, but either way, I’m impressed.

Image Credit: Twitter

6. Same if you have toddlers and you find only the cap of a marker.

Thank goodness for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

Image Credit: Twitter

5. Some days it’s like their main goal is to drive you crazy.

And most of the time they succeed.

Image Credit: Twitter

4. As long as she’s happy, right?

And at least lemons smell nice.

Image Credit: Twitter

3. To be fair there’s not a lot else to do in there.

And you’re making them watch you go to the bathroom so turnabout and all that.

Image Credit: Twitter

2. I’m ashamed to admit how many times a week I say this.

To the kids AND the dog.

Image Credit: Twitter

1. I don’t even know why we waste our breath.

I think reverse psychology is a better bet.

Image Credit: Twitter

 

I’m just buckling up for this ride like the rest of y’all.

Unlike an amusement park, there’s no chicken exit, so hold on tight.

These Men Are Full-On Embracing the Dad Life

There’s no use in fighting the inevitable.

We’re all going to age – our hair will go gray, our backs will hurt for no reason, we’ll have a tummy, and we’ll start to sound exactly like our parents.

These Parenting Tweets Prove That Laughter Is the Best Medicine

If you don’t laugh, you’re gonna cry – it’s the advice that gets me through many a long parenting day with two littles at home, let me tell you. They’re demanding, they’re emotionally draining, they’re the source of your worry and anxiety, and for me, alone time is at a serious minimum.

Being able to log onto the internet and find that others are having some of the same struggles – and others sharing their own hilarious kid interactions, helps me get through it!

12. There are upsides to making your kid very comfortable at home.

No one really likes camping, do they?

11. This seems like a pretty comprehensive list.

He’s probably going to need to “rest his eyes” at some point.

10. Eh, I’m sure this grammar rule will be the next one to go.

It’s all anarchy in the world of English.

9. Ooh, I’m honestly not sure the clean room was worth it.

Unless he found all of your spoons.

8. THIS is ironic, Alanis.

Why are old bodies so annoying?

7. Older kids have all the jokes.

These aren’t half bad, if you ask me.

6. The most elusive gift in the world.

This is what we all want for Mother’s Day. #facts

5. No one has the answer to that, kid.

At least we have the internet.

4. Let the cable news anchor figure it out.

It’s full of passion, I know.

3. Let’s find a way to make that happen.

Because I’m running on caffeine, sugar, and half-eaten chicken nuggets.

2. That sounds about right.

But annoying your teenagers is like, the only fun thing about having teenagers.

1. That’s real family love right there.

Dear Lord, please let my parents keep my kids again soon.

I’m laughing, even knowing that tomorrow it could be me posting something like this.

What’s the funniest thing your kid has said or done lately. I want to hear about it!

Parents Whose Kids Are Giving Them a Run for Their Money

Kids exist to try our patience, right? At least, that’s what it can seem like sometimes.

They find our buttons and dig their thumbs in as deep as they’ll go, twisting and really putting their back into it the more they can see us slowly going insane.

Of course they’re angels and we love them, but also, what I just said is the truth.

We all do what we can to get through days like these 14 people are having – and since it’s not you this time, go ahead and laugh. You know you want to.

14. It’s like he knew that ruining the coffee was the worst thing he could do.

Actually in this case he was really trying to help. You can’t even get mad at the sweet little lad!

Image Credit: Twitter

13. I, too, am confused.

I really want a followup to this tweet because I need to know if/where they found it.

Image Credit: Twitter

12. He’s really got his thinking cap on.

It’s hard to argue with that logic!

Image Credit: Twitter

11. Literally whatever makes them happy.

You definitely have to pick your battles.

Image Credit: Twitter

10. Yeah there is definitely pee somewhere.

Of course, if it’s like my house, there’s already pee everywhere so.

Image Credit: Twitter

9. They do keep you one your toes.

And you know you were barely asleep, anyway.

Image Credit: Twitter

8. Tornados are pretty scary.

But yeah, I imagine a tomato so huge we had to hide from it would be pretty frightening as well.

Image Credit: Twitter

7. The answer is to stop trying to help.

But we just can’t do that, can we?

Image Credit: Twitter

6. It’s a fair question, when you think about it.

Of course, it’s probably the 550th question she’s heard today.

Image Credit: Twitter

5. At least they don’t usually throw up on you.

Who am I kidding? It’s exactly the same.

Image Credit: Twitter

4. See, your marketing degree is coming in handy!

It’s all in the presentation, you know.

Image Credit: Twitter

3. It won’t last forever.

Honestly it doesn’t even work with my 3yo most of the time.

Image Credit: Twitter

2. You just get kind of numb to it all.

But you feel like you deserve a medal when you actually please a 3yo.

Image Credit: Twitter

1. You think you’re high sometimes.

It would make folding laundry more interesting. Perhaps.

I’m just so grateful I’m not raising the only heathens in the world!

Tell us about a recent moment you just had to walk away from your kid! We want to commiserate in the comments!
