ok this sounds sad but i just watched "the little mermaid" it was a 2 disk edition, By accident i found a short animation called "The little match girl" it was based on the story by Hans Christian Anderson and it has to be the sadest story i have ever seen though animation (ok to mind i'v probberly seen worse!)
"The little match girl" is based in Russia and was directed by Roger Allers who was also the director for "the little mermaid"
"The little match girl" is about a small girl who is trying to sell matches. Of coarse no-one is intrested and one man is shown with a lighter.
you are then taken to another sceen of when she is sitting on the snow all alone and cold. She looks down at the matches and decided to light one. you are then taken to a part of her imagination of an open fire untill the match blows out and you are taken back to cold reality.
evently she lights the last of her matches and is taken to a fantesy of an older women hugging the little girl and when you matches blow out she is sitting on the snow and looks to be asleep.
The woman from the little girls fantsey picks up the little girl and walks off but in the picture below it was just the girls spirit and in fact the girl had died.
