To cry watching toy story 3!

Ok so I know I am pathetic, but I think it's because it's about children growing up and leaving home and even though mine are only little, it still makes me emotional!

I think I need to get a grip!!

DD1 is currently obsessed with Toy Story 3 and is particularly exercised by the sad bits (she is three and a half); we have to keep explaining that it all works out fine in the end and the toys get to be played with all over again...but I do love the Ken and Barbie story line

madliz · 15/08/2012 22:02

I was hard as nails before having kids!
Now, I cry at pretty much everything. TS 1, 2 and 3, UP in fact I can't think of a single PIXAR /Disney film I haven't bawled at!
I filled up today reading about Jason Manford having a go at the trolls who said hateful things about Gary Barlow.
PS Ken and Barbie are awesome!

Anyone else find it harder to throw out the DC's old toys since watching it?

GreenEyesAndHam · 15/08/2012 22:04

I cry at all the Toy Story movies (it's that bloody song) but the scene with Andy and Bonnie at the end, just kills me Blush

LilyCocoplatt · 15/08/2012 22:04

I saw Toy Story 3 at the cinema when I was pregnant and sobbed through the last half hour of it, DH kept looking at me with these faces HmmGrin but when the lights came up at the end half the cinema was also in tears.

GauchitaOlimpica · 15/08/2012 22:07

Terra, I can't throw any toys away! (or throw them across the room when tidying up Grin)

AgentZigzag · 15/08/2012 22:09

Was everyone upset because they all thought their toys came alive when they weren't with them, like me, damn you Blyton, making it easier to imagine?

GreatBallsofFluff · 15/08/2012 22:10

I sobbed through the last half hour of TS3, and I don't have pregnancy to blame Blush

I still cry when Woody realises his friends have given up and they all hold hands Sad

GreenEyesAndHam · 15/08/2012 22:14

It's not the toy thing for me , I think it's the growing up/ losing that childish innocence thing.

There was 15 years between the first film and the last, so it hits home that my tiny tots who watched the first one are now strapping smelly teens laughing at TS3.

Tigresswoods · 15/08/2012 22:16

All the andy growing up stuff is sad but it's the incinerator scene that gets me. It's the look in Buzz's eyes; if Buzz has given up hope then we're a doomed!

GreenEyesAndHam · 15/08/2012 22:17

But the face that Woody pulls during the end credits when they spot that the flowery handwriting is Ken's (not Barbie's) makes me laugh like a drain every time Grin

Not that I watch it much or owt Blush

bruffin · 15/08/2012 22:18

I haven't seen up, I shall watch it when i am alone in an evening I think, otherwise I need an excuse, like I got something in my eye and they are watering!! I am glad I didn't watch it in the cinema though I know people who did and cried!

It's my DS favourite film. I must have seen it 20 times and the ending just does me in every time. But I'm so soft. We went and saw "The Lorax" this week at the cinema and I blubbed at the end. Lights went up and I still had tears streaming down my face. I've also just seen "cheaper by the dozen" tonight - again tears. What's wrong with me!

TodaysAGoodDay · 15/08/2012 22:25

I sobbed in the cinema watching it, and I now sob every time DS watches it. I 'find something important' to do when it gets to the ending bit with Bonnie. It's so embarrassing crying in front of DS Blush

Echocave · 15/08/2012 22:51

tigresswoods - arggh the incinerator scene, it just crept up on me and I had to hold in a major sob! Fairly softy old DH politely averted his eyes from my clubbing shame....! X

Echocave · 15/08/2012 22:52

Er I mean blubbing shame . Autocorrect thinks I'm much cooler than I actually am....

MarianForrester · 15/08/2012 22:53

YADNBU! DH and I were wiping away tears: can't watch it without crying,edit exactly the reasons you say

TremoloGreen · 15/08/2012 22:57

I cried within minutes of watching - the bit where he leaves home and doesn't need the toys any more... then the incinerator scene!

I was on a plane. The woman next to me looked distinctly uncomfortable Blush

neuroticmumof3 · 15/08/2012 23:04

I cried with fear at the incinerator scene when they all held hands. I daren't watch UP for fear of long term trauma.

Kirk1 · 15/08/2012 23:05

Pretty much all Pixar films leave me in tears. TS3 had me almost so I couldn't see the screen for most of it. I don't think any parent who watches it couldn't be moved. It's certainly pushing the emotional buttons...

DiscoDaisy · 15/08/2012 23:05

My children have banned me from watching Toy Story 3, Up and Wall E!
Apparently those films are too upsetting for me as I cry my eyes out when I watch them!

Himalaya · 15/08/2012 23:13

Yy to TS3 and UP. I cry every time.

The only thing I cried about at Marley and Me was having wasted an hour and a half of my life on it.

Binfullofmaggotsonthe45 · 15/08/2012 23:17

I cry at the part where it looks like they'll all melt in the furnace, and hold hands.

DH cries at the part where he gives his toys to the little girl.

I can't watch Tangled without sobbing... The lanterns scene and the fact that the witch is the same as my manipulative mother.

cupcake78 · 15/08/2012 23:22

Perfectly reasonable to cry at toy story 3. I've seen it loads and still get a lump in my throat. Up should come with a health warning! I've seem it once and it took me days to recover, ds has a rubbish book of the story and I can't read it or hear itSadSad.
