Which Disney movie made you tear up besides Lion King, why?

  2. None of them, Including Lion King. Not that movies haven’t hit me hard, but most Disney movies censor the tragedy so much it barely registers. Lion King at least had it on screen for some impact

  3. Brother Bear. I recently rewatched it with my sister and her kids and it still made me tear up.

  5. Up.

    That scene where they have a life together, try to have kids together, grow old together, then she passes all in the span of 10 seconds. Goddamn. Starts us with what we all dream of, gives us a nightmare, resolves it with the continuation of that dream, then hits that dream with a cold splash of reality. Emotional roller-coaster.

    Also, I didn’t cry during Lion King and I watched it as a kid. Did I miss something or am I heartless?

  6. “Up” for the growing old montage.

    “Coco” for the end, because music is my entire being, and the way the song brought her back to awareness just got me.

    Edit to add: “Remember the Titans” at the “Strong side/Left side!” scene. I wasn’t even expecting to get emotional, but damn that shit hit me out of nowhere.

  7. Quite a few. Tangled, Lilo & Stitch, Up, Monsters Inc, Frozen, and several others. I tear up quite easily.

  12. Treasure Planet.

    I love the book but the movie does the relationship between Jim and Silver really well.

  17. Incredibles is the only Disney/Pixar movie to make me cry period. The delivery in the “lose you” scene was absolutely heart wrenching.

    “Bob Parr: I have to do this alone.

    Helen Parr: What is this to you? Playtime?

    Bob Parr: No.

    Helen Parr: So you can be Mr. Incredible again?

    Bob Parr: No!

    Helen Parr: Then what? What is it?

    Bob Parr: I’m not…

    Helen Parr: Not what?

    Bob Parr: I’m not strong enough.

    Helen Parr: Strong enough? And this will make you stronger?

    Bob Parr: Yes. No!

    Helen Parr: That’s what this is? Some sort of workout?

    Bob Parr: I can’t lose you again! I can’t. Not again. I’m not strong enough.”

  19. Avengers endgame, it was the end of an era. Pre coronavirus, times were better and the way everything was put together in the last battle

  21. Inside Out.

    This stupid ass movie. All I was trying to do was be a good uncle and bring my 2 nephews to the movies and this just happened to be a new release. I did absolutely no investigating before picking this movie (my nephews were 6 and 7 at the time, so it was really just about the trip to the movie theater rather than the movie itself). Anyways I saw it was a Disney movie and booked the tickets because I knew it was a safe bet. If I knew I would be holding back tears for damn near an hour and a half straight I would have weighed out my other options. My two little idiot nephews don’t what the hell is actually going on so they’re having the time of their lives. Meanwhile I can’t stop the tears from filling up my eyes. It’s getting to the point where wiping them is useless and just drawing unneeded attention, so I said fuck it and let them fall while I still have the darkness to my advantage. That was basically a bandaid on a bullet hole because we inevitably reach the point where the movie is coming to the end. Now I’m sweating (for a few reasons):

    1. I’m *probably* the only person crying in this movie theater.
    2. I’m trapped between a 6 and 7 year old who are totally unfazed and would have an absolute field day if they see me.
    3. I couldn’t get up and leave with the crowd because I looked like a schoolgirl and there is no way to casually hide that as I through the lobby, but I also couldn’t stick around too long because the lights will be fully on and my nephews would start to ask questions.

    I waited until the theater cleared out and faked a phone call in the corner to get away from my nephews. I used this time to wipe my eyes and talk some sense into myself. I faked this phone call all the way out to the car so I had a reason not to make eye contact with them. I basically kept my head straight until they were in the backseat. They never noticed and I eventually got my shit together. But my lord I did NOT know what I was getting myself into with this one.

    ​

    edit: I realize I never said why – something about the little girl who is depressed and seeing it effect her relationship with her parents hit me hard. I’ve always wanted a daughter and I’ve always thought it would be the most rewarding yet terrifying experience ever. I guess it forced me to think about the times my hypothetical, unborn daughter will be really sad and I won’t always be able to help, or even worse, not realize she needs help.

  23. Bolt: zoom zoom.

    I don’t cry at sad movies, but sudden vindication is just not playing fair.

    Similarly, in Inside Out, where they discover what Sadness is actually for and that she’s not just an affliction to be suppressed.

  25. Toy Story. Randy Newman playing while Buzz finds out he isn’t a real space ranger was sad

  29. Princess and the frog, when the firefly (forgot his name:/) talks about his girl Evangeline
