Is an animal sad?
Browse movies, tv shows, books and more where an animal is sad.
Because my boyfriend can’t deal with any movies in which an animal ever feels sad or worried or rejected or unloved and we aren’t allowed to watch them! It would be good to know in advance if it’s safe...

A dying kangaroo is featured early in the film. It makes several pained and mournful sounds. The animal is CGI, but appears very realistically.

You can talk to animals with a spell, or simply read their body language through the narrator, and some of them are distressed. Examples are a dog that is coming to terms with his master's death (he is in denial until you talk to him into joining you), dogs that are being abused by their owner, and an owlbear cub who mourns the loss of their mother.
