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

E3: Near the end of E3, there are chimps that have been locked in cages and had horrible experiments done on them. They seem more enraged than sad about it, but I feel like the suffering of animals probably ties into this trigger.
E4: A cat sorta mews at his dead owner in E4, it could be read as sad. Nothing super obvious or overt.

Angel Dust's pet pig, Fat Nuggets, appears a bit sad when he realizes Angel is sad. Nothing too intense, in my opinion.

a fantasy animal is experimented on and has its life artificially extended despite having a lethal condition that causes it a lot of distress and exhaustion. its quality of life doesn’t seem to be a priority at all.

The dragons are (likely) sentient and it’s possible to read sadness on them in certain situations.
In S1E6, a dragon is sad when asked to kill their bonded rider.
In season S1E2, a dragon is sad when she sees the remains of one of her offspring.
In S1E2, a dog is sad when they see their owner is deceased.

Multiple horses are heard making sounds of distress while they are in danger. The protagonist is forced to give up one of his horses early on in the film, though no reaction is shown from the horse.
(SPOILERS)
A chimpanzee is shown being docile and confused after having a violent episode. The chimpanzee is shot down soon afterwards while he appears to be interacting with a character in a friendly manner.

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.
