Just watched the Good Dinosaur all the way through for the first time and I am reduced to tears.

Why do the make them so emotional.
Monsters inc
Up
Toy story
The Croods
Inside out
Any bloody kids film reduces me to a puddle of snot and tears.

Brilliant films though Grin

BikeRunSki I refuse to watch that, Dumbo, Watership Down and E.T Blush

Yes to the Iron Giant Pete I had to walk out the room the last time I watched it and pretend the dog was wanting in the garden to compose myself. Grin

do not watch watership down if you don't want to still be traumatised in 20 years time that film is horrific!

YokoUhOh · 17/02/2016 15:58

Oh god Snoopy Come Home

What is it about cartoons specifically? I've always bawled at sad cartoons.

I'm snuffling just reading the titles of these fuckers

Witchend · 17/02/2016 16:04

I don't think anyone has mentioned Finding Nemo have they?Shock

We once left DS1 (20) at home watching Bridge to Terabithia. We came home two hours later to find him hunched on the sofa, sobbing his heart out. The only words he could get out were to blame us for not warning him.

Dolly80 · 17/02/2016 16:23

The usual ones mentioned get me going - first 10mins of Up, Toy Story 2 (Jessie's song) and Toy Story 3 (Andy giving the toys to Bonnie) But...the end of Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast. I cried in the bloody cinema at that (with my partner saying as the lights went up 'are you crying?' and my 3 year old looking bemused!)

ChipsandGuac · 17/02/2016 16:29

I am a renowned sobber but Up is the worst. I even cry when the kids are watching it in the car and I'm driving and can't even see it. It's a truly perfect movie, that one.

YouSaffBridge · 17/02/2016 16:37

Toy Story 3 when they all hold hands and face death. I swear that's more moving than most of the "moving" adult films I've seen.

UmbongoUnchained · 17/02/2016 16:39

I just cried reading this thread.
crazy PMS lady
I can't even THINK about Tarzan with out crying.

Elledouble · 17/02/2016 16:48

Up. My partner warned me that the beginning was sad, but I didn't know it would be THAT sad.

Toy Story 3, natch.

It all feels different now I'm a mum, too - thinking of The Railway Children makes me well up.

Doublebubblebubble · 17/02/2016 16:51

I cried my eyes out during the volcanoes singing at the beginning of inside out I'm proper soppy me lol

Dd7 wants to watch Dumbo on Sunday... I'm not sure my tear ducts can take it lol

LegoRuinedMyFinances · 17/02/2016 16:52

How horrific is Inside Out? I have a preteen and I am still getting to grips with them turning 11 and starting high school (they started last September FFS). I genuinely am worried about watching that one.

Up is so sad, wonderful yet heart wrenching at the same time.

Bambi and Land before time make me cry too. Big Hero 6 surprised me as I wasn't expecting it, unlike Dumbo etc.

Also I love Wreck It Ralph - the concept was brilliant and I like some of the retro gaming creatures - didn't make me too emotional but it's a lovely film.

Zwellers · 17/02/2016 16:53

My primary school once showed our entire year watership down as a treat on the last day before the holidays. Cue sixty hysterical nine year olds. Have refused to watch it since, the creepy animation, rabbits been gassed or masacarred, the black rabbit and to cap it all off that song bright eyes. This was thirty years ago!

Doublebubblebubble · 17/02/2016 16:53

#pixartochangeitsnametobastardfilms!!!

Id support this ^

whitelisbon · 17/02/2016 16:55

Dd watched the Iron Giant at school, and howled at it.
When they watched the Water Horse, she was given permission to go do maths in the next class Blush

Doublebubblebubble · 17/02/2016 16:56

Inside out made my 6 year old (at the time) wail in the cinema (all us mums were crying too obviously) Riley tries to run away and everything falls apart emotionally.. Pixar certainly know how and where to hit you - the bastards!

ALemonyPea · 17/02/2016 16:57

Flanjabel, I screamed and sobbed at the end of Homeward Bound. My dad had to pick me up and carry me out the cinema and I sobbed all day long.

I took DS3 and some of his friends to go watch the Good Dinosaur for his birthday. They were all very amused at me the grown woman crying several times during the film.

HelloCanYouHearMe · 17/02/2016 16:58

My Girl Sad
Big Hero 6 😢
An American Tail 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Theresadogonyourballs · 17/02/2016 17:07

My hard-as-nails 23 year brother took his girlfriend to see Inside Out - she was startled to observe him absolutely bawling during the 'end of Bing Bong' scene. We all wind him up now by singing "Who's your friend who likes to play? Bing Bong! Bing Bong!" at every opportunity. Grin

SecondMrsAshwell · 17/02/2016 17:28

Toys holding hands in a furnace...Wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Toy Story 3 ruined my Christmas the other year. I only saw the end and burst into tears because the teddy bear reminded me of a guinea-pig I had at the time.

Armi · 17/02/2016 18:36

Thanks for that, MashestoPashes. I've cried all over my best top, now.

FleeBee · 17/02/2016 18:41

I howled at how to train your dragon 2. My adored dad had recently died :( :(
My DC 1 & 2 and DH absolutely bawled at the Good Dinosaur. Why why why did they do that to us????

flanjabelle · 17/02/2016 18:48

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sobs at homeward bound! It's the only one with the ability to get me every time I see it. All the others I become immune to over time.

ARichVernacular · 17/02/2016 18:55

Glad I'm not the only one to surreptitiously cry at Tinkerbell films Blush It's Secret of the Wings for me - when they're frosting the tree and Lord Velori turns up to help, when Tink's wing is broken and then it heals

I love Wreck-It Ralph for many reasons, one of which is that it only makes me cry happy tears!

DH took the kids to see Big Hero 6 while I was working. He texted me afterwards to say that he was trying to comfort howling DS in the street while manfully trying to hide his own tears.

DiscoGlitter · 17/02/2016 19:08

I don't know any parent of a pre-teen who didn't sob during Inside Out.

I've got a pre teen, and didn't feel even slightly moved to tears by Inside Out.
Which is unusual for me, as I'm usually a total embarrassment when it comes to kids films.
I bawl EVERY. TIME. at the Jessie song when they ditch her at the side of the road Sad
I sniffle and cry when Nemo's mum gets eaten by the shark.
I flat out refuse to watch Lion King as I know I'll yell like a newborn if I do.
