This was the most realistic and saddest thing I’ve ever seen in a kids movie.
They didn’t use any words through this sequence, and you still knew exactly what was going on and it was a hundred times more powerful for that silence.
Everytime I watch this movie,I think of J and Nighthawk. I cry because of the fact that J wasn’t given the choice. Her body made it for her. Linds because she hurt for so long. For my friend Ash,who wants a baby but hasn’t gotten the BFP,even after 9 months. For my cousin who miscarried four times before learning she’s unable to carry children to term. For my friends who have lost or will lose. For the people I don’t even know,who’s heart have been broken from loss. I think of them. And I hurt. I even (sometimes) feel badly that I had children so easily. This movie,above any of Disney or Pixar’s movies,is hands down,my favorite. It’s real and I love it.
when my husband and i sat down to watch this for the first time it killed us, he had to stop the movie as he was crying so hard. It was the first time i saw his true feelings about our infertility. before this he had been strong, silent and supportive. the pain seemed all mine which is selfish I know, but this bought it all home for him. he held me and told me that he would have the adventure of a lifetime with me no matter what… we still don’t have our baby but we know we have each other. we smile through the tears and slap happy faces on for the world but together we can just be us.
Watching this sequence is the only time I ever thought, “Fuck Pixar” — not because they got it wrong, but because they got it so right and, if you’ve been through this, there’s never a right time to see it in a movie.
I still haven’t seen this movie. If I have an inkling this is part of a movie I just can’t watch. I was blindsided by Marley & Me. I loved the book Time Traveller’s Wife, so I watched the movie anyways and broke down during the miscarriage scenes. I still avoid movies with infertility/miscarriages since we aren’t done with having babies and I’m paranoid that I might have more trials to come. Plus, I don’t enjoy brining up pain from my past.
