Check out some Disney and Pixar movies that have endings that may seem happy, but that are not really
For 100 years, Disney has been responsible for releasing movies that mark the lives of thousands of people around the world, with stories that, besides having fun, also feature plots with important life lessons.
For this reason, as in real life, many productions end up with endings that, although they seem happy, still have a melancholy tone that can go unnoticed by children, but can certainly be understood by the elders.
With that in mind, Recreio has separated a list of 5 Disney and Pixar movies that have happy endings, but they are not. Check it out!
1. Aladdin (1992)
At the end of “Aladdin”, the protagonist character has a chance to use his last wish with the genius to ask him to officially become a prince and can marry Jasmine. However, he decides to use the moment to ask for freedom of genius, fulfilling a promise he had made at the beginning of the feature.
Now without being stuck to a magic lamp, genius finally has the opportunity to realize his dream of traveling the world. The hug they give next is full of meaning, including gratitude and farewell. More than that, the moment represents a true friendship, where friends are ready to sacrifice for each other, even if it means you need to give up something you want a lot.
2. Fun Mind (2015)
In the final moments of “Fun Mind”, little Riley can finally take her feelings, and reveals to her parents in tears that she is not happy in San Francisco because she misses what her life was like in Minnesota before they need to move.
In addition to reflecting how adaptation in new environments can be different for each person, and may be more difficult for one than for others, Riley’s outburst also shows another very important lesson: that sadness is a valid and complex emotion that needs to be felt so we can move on.
3. Toy Story 3 (2010)
Another animation that also features an important transition moment at its end is “Toy Story 3” where, in the last few minutes, Andy, who is already grown and on his way to college, donates his favorite toys to a little girl named Bonnie.
The farewell marks the end of an era in theaters, but in history it represents the end of a phase of life. The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a fearful moment for many, but the film shows that while the change is difficult, remaining attached to the past prevents us from evolving and making room for new memories to be created.
4. Live! Life is a party (2017)
“Live! Life is a party” is one of the movies with Disney’s deepest story. In the end, when Miguel returns from the land of the dead, he goes to his great -grandmother’s house, coconut, to sing the song “Remember me,” and prevent her from forgetting her father, Hector, preventing him from disappearing from the other world. A year later, Coco dies and meets his father in the land of the dead, with the two being honored by his family every day.
The moment is considered by many to be one of the most exciting of animations, and has a real fear of many people: to be forgotten by their loved ones after death.
5. SA MONSTERS (2001)
In “SA Monsters”, after undergoing numerous adventures together, Mike and Sully need to say goodbye to Boo to be sent to the human world before his door was destroyed, eternally breaking the portal with Mostrópolis and preventing them from seeing each other again.
The farewell becomes even sadder when, after Sully leaves the little girl in her bed and closing the door, Boo tries to open it again to scare the monster, but finds only his clothes. As a memory, Sullyvan always carries a drawing of the two made by the child and, one day, as a gift, Mike surprises him showing that he has collected every pieces of the girl’s door and rebuilt them so they could see her again.
