Oh bloody hell kids films. <sobs in to sleeve>

[SheWhoDaresGins]

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

Homeward bound
Eight below had me sob that much I went to a night shift looking horrendous. I thought that was the worst I could cry at a film and then I watched Hachi. Well the cat (being fed up of clung on to) legged it under the bed and I howled

I always sob during Jesse's song in Toy Story 2 and at the end of Toy Story 3 when Andy gives his toys away.

Sshh witchend,
I call that the "where's mummy" film.
Imagine hearing a 2 year old sobbing "where's mummy?" All the way through. No amount of "look there's the daddy" worked.
I had to fast-forward to the end and we haven't watched it since.
They rate these films U. Arseholes.
I cry at everything. Try watching he adaptation of Oliver Jeffers lost and found.

That bit in Despicable Me when Gru reads them a bedtime story

Another 'Bridge to Terribithia' survivor here, no warning from that beauty and it still slays me every time! at least you expect Disney/Pixar cartoons to have a tear jerking moment. Not many people I know irl have actually seen it.

Kids don't seem to worry about parents dying in films, mine used to act that out playing with their dolls as youngsters.

DD sang the Jesse song from Toy Story 2 a few years back, as a solo at her drama show - When I'm All Alone. That was a toughie!

Yes yes to many many posters.

Up kills me everytime. But mostly it's the end bit where he finally turns the page of the album and sees all the adventures they had together and realised that he did give her an amazing life, just not necessarily the one they planned. I think it really strikes a chord with me because my life hasn't gone quite as planned but has still been just as satisfying so far.

Also in WallE when Eve forgets him and he just seems so sad.

The little mermaid was my first Disney tearjerker. It's gone down hill from there really, the lion king, beauty and the beast, frozen, all the toy story films, monsters inc, right through to big hero six. As pp said , Disney and pixar are tear robbing cunts.

For slightly older children - Bridge to Treabithia. It's truly heartbreaking. Do not watch!

Sorry I should have read the whole thread. It was mentioned earlier on. But seriously DO NOT WATCH. It is severely traumatising. I imagine more so for us parents than our children...

Agreed Bridge to Terabithia is horrific ! And with no warning at all!

The BBFC really needs to take emotional trauma into account when rating films, my dad took me to see some horrific films when I was wee - Shadowlands anyone?

There's a 90s (?) film called Fly Away Home - a very young Anna Paquin flies some geese who think she's their mother, when she's just lost her mother, south across the country in a little plane. Was (now adult) DD's favourite and was on again recently - my god, that's a sad film.

And yes to Bridge to Terebrithia (I like how we're all spelling it slightly differently) - that was a full on wracking sobs sort of film.

I agree ItsAllGoingToBeFine. I took. Y 8 year old daughter to Marley and Me. It was a PG. Not suitable at all!!!

Don't make 'em like they used to. The Incredible Journey original film had me sobbing until I was nearly sick.

I was about 19 when bridge to terabithia came out. I took my 11 year old sister to see it. It was like a punch in the gut! God we sobbed and I felt so guilty. Saw a mum have to explain death to her 4 year old daughter on the way out
Homeward Bound was my favourite film as a young child and it made me cry every time.
Not sure I can watch Fly Away Home again. My mum took me and older dsis to see it at the cinema. She's still with us but due to disability I can slowly see parts of her disappearing including her memory.

Ah yes - Marley and Me - watched that one with teen relatives who were unmoved whilst I sobbed and sobbed.

I've only seen DH cry twice - one of those times was watching Up, he absolutely bawled.

I routinely watch Iron Giant with my class of 9 year olds and none of them have ever cried.

I was doing ok in Up, just, until in the quiet bit where he'd just lost his wife a tiny child's voice piped up 'Has she died Mummy?' Broke me!

I frequently well up in kids films. Loved Bing Bong and found it really poiniant.

As a kid my parents let me watch Born Free. I sobbed so hard at the end that I had that hiccoughing type breathing for ages after and they had to postpone our trip out to the grandparents til I recovered. (Or perhaps they just bundled me into the car regardless of my snotty mess, I forget!)

Tarka the Otter anyone?

Also, Mulan, where she arrives at the village and the small child's doll from earlier in the film is lying in the snow amongst the ruins of the village.

There's also one called The Song of the Sea that had large swathes of the attending adults sniffling in the cinema. Most of the children seemed remarkably fine about it though.

I cried at Alvin and the Chipmunks today!!
Also Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast 3 adults and 5 children went to watch it at the cinema, all children were fine adults were crying messes!

When I was on teaching placement the y6 class I was with was reading Bridge to Terabithia, I was quite enjoying it but wasn't going to be atriums to find out the end. So I started to read the end of the book and had to stop ! So glad I wasn't teaching there for the whole story , it's put me off watching the film.

I'm avoiding dumbo at the weekend, it's heartbreaking.

Along with all others mentioned on this thread, Turbo brought me to tears and it's a bloody snail !!!

No one's mentioned Ice Age yet either - no. 1, not the others. But when the mother disappears into the river, and again at the end when they find the hunters; oh and of course Manny's memories - waaaah!

Big Hero 6 - we took Ds1 (just 7 at the time) and DS2 (just 2) to see that at the cinema. DS1 seemed fine, but DS2 displayed remarkable understanding of the losses - I heard a little "Oh noooo!" when Hiro's brother died, and then a bigger one at the end in the wormhole. He didn't cry, but he was obviously aware that it was sad - I, meanwhile, was a broken woman.

I've not seen Bridge to Terabithia, and thanks to this thread, I probably won't now!

Loved Big Hero6.

Then had to discuss the meaning of the green chip and what it means to have a soul with our dc. So many questions!! Lovely, wonderful film though.

Great characters.

I watched Bridge to Teribithia when heavily pregnant on Boxing Day. I was already a bit sad as I wasn't allowed to travel to see family on that day. I thought I'd watch a lighthearted film to cheer me up, and was happily watching it until BAM! I then spent hours sobbing. I'm not sure I ever remember crying that much at any other point in my life.

Boxing Day film my ass, next they'll be replacing the Queen's speech with my girl.

Yes to Oliver Jeffers' Lost & Found, for some reason it was the octopusthat did it for me!!!

Bing Bong leaping out of the cart in Inside Out, still being really positive and shouting 'Take to to the moon for me' while fading away... sob!

And whocan forget My Girl... to crack the most walnut hardened of hearts

E.T was the first o s o remember as a child that traumatized me. My girl and bridge to terrabithia.

But I recently embarrassed my teenage Dds by sobbing to Corroline.
