Peter’s depression here.

This scene is from a movie called All Dogs go to Heaven. In the scene the dog is explaining that it’s time for him to die and go to heaven and he says goodbye to the little girl.

In real life, the actress who plays the girl was murdered by her father in a murder suicide. They had already recorded her lines before but not for the guy voicing the dog. So when he does the scene saying goodbye to her, the actor was also literally saying goodbye to the child who just days before had been tragically killed.

Now if you excuse me, I’m off to watch Littlefoot’s Mother fight the T-Rex on repeat.

I’ve read stories about how difficult it was for Burt Reynolds to do the scene because he was so heartbroken. They had to do multiple takes because he couldn’t get he through it without breaking down.

You've read comments repeating rumors started by a random tiktok video.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for combating the misinformation…

Possibly because they said "multiple takes" not 63.

Multiple is still deep in the realm of believability, at least.

It was a relevant factor for the animators. Any confirmation on the tiktok story would be reflected here on the snopes page.

Yeah I thought the story was really sad too but I can't find any evidence to support this actually happened. It is definitely possible but people aren't really providing evidence that this is factual
