I will go with my gut feeling from childhood. As a child, the ending of The Fox & the Hound made me sadder, perhaps because Copper and Tod's friendship could be traced back further than the relationship of Pocahontas and John, and definitely because Tod was both betrayed and forced to lose his home-- three emotionally wounding conflicts that I found to never be resolved.

That's hot.

First of all I want to say I like both movies, though "Fox and the Hound" is more in the 'okay' category for me.
I believe that Pocahontas is ultimately the sadder one, because we are aware that there will not be a lasting peace between colonists and Indians. That gives me a sad melancholy feeling.
As for "Fox and the Hound": I can imagine Tod ( that's the fox' name right?) living a fine life with his Vixie in the wildlife preserve and getting lots of cubs.

So I think it the feeling of sadness depends on the side from which you look at it; looking back at what happened before or thinking about what will happen afterwards.

The perfect answer, IMO. Pocahontas' ending was more of a "we're even now" type of ending, for me. The Fox and the Hound's ending was really hard to watch for me, it was just so sad.Prudence wrote:I will go with my gut feeling from childhood.

Pocahontas,thought i think he returned in the end
.
Hunchback has the sadest ending (can't stand this movie)-
Why Esmeralda had to survive? why? why?
she had to die!
really,dumping Quasi because he looks like a "monster" after toadying him so he"ll rescue her (don't even get me started on her dancing like some kind of a hoe and make even Frollo fell in love with her),shame on her,if i was Quasi i whould let her die.
Well,if someone sees differently he can comment but i think it's pretty it's very rude of her

Which Movie Had the Sadder Ending?
Isidour, that is actually too funny.
A girl shouldn't go out with a boy just because he saved her. But I haven't seen the movie in ages so I don't remember who would have been better for her and if she really grew to love Phoebus. It's true if someone saves you they care for you and that's a good reason to be with someone, but you also should care for them. If she loved him because he saved her, that would've been sweet, but it just didn't happen and you have to go with who you love.Ariel'sprince wrote:Pocahontas,thought i think he returned in the end.

No but a girl shouldn't go to the guy's tower toadying to him with "You're no monster!" so he"ll came to her rescue and then dumping him for blondy becuase he looks like a "monster",that was rude of herDisney Duster wrote:A girl shouldn't go out with a boy just because he saved her.

But this just shows the selflessness of Quasimodo the more; he knows the girl he loves is in love with another yet he saves her out of friendship.Ariel'sprince wrote: No but a girl shouldn't go to the guy's tower toadying to him with "You're no monster!" so he"ll came to her rescue and then dumping him for blondy becuase he looks like a "monster",that was rude of herif she loved Blondy from the beginning at least she shouldn't toadying for him to save her
.
And to defend Esmeralda: just because she was kind to Quasimodo doesn't have to mean she was in love with him; never did she tell him " I love you". So she didn't 'dump' Quasimodo, she just happened to fall in love with 'blondie' Phoebus.
As for you remark about "Pocahontas", Ariel'sprince: he did not return but they would meet again one more time in England.

A-HA! Another example of Disney saying when it comes to love, we should love and fall in love according to tradition. Anyone different or deformed is not worthy... Just like Disney, appearences matter most.Disney Duster wrote:A girl shouldn't go out with a boy just because he saved her.

Nah, I'm just kidding. Haven't seen the movie in almost a decade. It wasn't good enough, anyway. And all the damn spit and fart jokes. That was just nasty.
