So does that mean you enjoyed it? I hope so. Even hearing the theme tugs at me a little. (EDIT: I just saw what you said in Off-Topic. I await your review. ) Good timing, as I will finish the novel this weekend.

Disney Fella - Reading that list sent a little shiver down my spine... I'm sure watching all those back to back would be very moving.

Ballzo - I was watching it with a group of friends (about half guys, half girls) and we were all a little misty-eyed, and when it was done we were all just like "wow, that was powerful." I think it's because you'd seen it before, and you knew the magnitude of that theme, and that scene... and then seeing it on the pimp setup, as you put it , really makes for an awesome experience. Especially w/ the Disney Enhanced Audio mix.

During Oliver & Company, during bits of it ... I get misty-eyed (the "Good Company" song, or the opening song) ... because it's the first film I ever saw, I guess.

As for films in general, the ones that get me most (that will always make me cry) are "Awakenings," when Leonard dances with Paula (and he stops shaking when he does so), and during "Hoosiers." I lose it during "Hoosiers," just because ... it's so nostalgic to me. From the opening scenic drive ... to the victory at the end. And because I grew up in small-town Indiana ...

I cry during a lot of disney movies, but I'm not ashamed of it

Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit it -- I don't fully cry, but I definitely tear up. I'm a big softie, and if a movie is good, I tend to get emotionally invested in it. Snow White, Dumbo, and Beauty and the Beast have all gotten me.

It's not animated, but Disney's Homeward Bound also gets to me -- when Shadow comes limping home at the end, I lose it. My wife just rolls her eyes at me at times like that.

I've never full-out cried during or after watching a Disney movie, but there have been a few that have made me get teary-eyed. There was, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and maybe another one. I can't think of any other ones, but I may have. I frequently get chills though.

Edit:
Oh yes, Dumbo. And Homeward Bound (as the previous poster).

Suring a lot of the recent Disney movies

Lilo and Stitch
Finding Nemo
Brother Bear
Hunchback of Notredame

Those are the ones that really come to mind.

Bambi. I cried when Bambi's mom died.

yea, thats also what I meant when I put "cry"

I'll admit I cried during several movies Disney and otherwise
Disney
Dumbo
Old Yeller
The Lion King(Several times during the movie)
Hunchback
Toy Story 2
Monsters Inc
Finding Nemo
Some non-Disney
Schindler's List
Antwoine Fisher(the last fifteen minutes I was sobbing)
Mr. Holland's Opus(pretty much the last 45 minutes)
Apollo 13
And here are two really weird movies that I always seem to tear up at
Planes Trains and Automobiles-It's a hysterical film but something about the ending always gets me
Now this is very strange but Face/Off always makes me tear up at the end. I don't know why but it does.

Done some thinking, and I also remember crying during Homeward Bound and The Santa Clause (w/ Tim Allen). And also during Peter Pan (animated disney version) for some reason. I guess the beautiful music and the nostalgia got to me.

I usually watch my movies alone, and it's much easier to let yourself cry during emotional scenes then.

Never cried, but got very close at:

The ending of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

When the Beast dies in Beauty and the Beast.

Ending of The Lion King.

When Pooh is lost in the cave and at the ending of Pooh's Grand Adventure.

I cried plenty of times when I was a wee lad, but I don't think that counts.

In my recent years, I've come close to shedding a tear in Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Dumbo, and Monsters Inc.

The only 2 Disney movies I remember bringing tears to my eyes are Dumbo (the "Baby Mine" sequence) and The Fox and the Hound when the Widow Tweed is driving Tod out into the woods to leave him. I cry like a baby every time I watch those scenes. I think the only other movie, which is non-Disney, that's made me cry is Schindler's List. You really feel Oskar Schindler's pain when he realizes he really could've done more to save more people. That is the most touching scene in any movie I've ever seen.

I find it very upsetting in The Fox and the Hound. When Widow Tweed has to let Tod go out into the forest alone, and she says goodbye i feel like crying. That is the saddest moment in a Disney Film.

Hey, Disney Villain, did you ever cry when a villain died/lost? Heh, heh, just kidding.

I've never really cried during a Disney movie, but in Treasure Planet, that look on Jim's face when his father leaves was kind of heart-breaking, don't you think?

Acatually when i was younger and Cruella DeVil drove her car off the hill i cried because she had to go to jail and get a new car! lol!

Both Old Yeller and Remember The Titans got me. Other than that, the majority of movies I may get emotional, but usually don't cry.

I've wanted to cry too many times to recall while watching Disney movies, both from sadness as well as from joy - an example of each that comes to mind is when Bambi's father tells him "Your mother can't be with you any more," and in "Homeward Bound: the Incredible Journey" when the older dog comes over the hill ...

One thing that I found particularly affecting was a couple of years ago when I was at Disneyworld and took a tour of the animation studio there at Disney/MGM (Glad I did that when I did ) - as all who've done that know, they show you a wonderful montage of some of the best moments in many Disney films, and I remember distinctly thinking to myself how many strong emotional moments there are in so many of their films, that even seeing just a brief scene can bring it back.

I got so teary-eyed I couldn't see anything. I also cried at Monsters Inc. As for non-Disney movies . . . My Dog Skip made me bawl my eyes out, as did The Killing Fields.

Another sad, but nice family moment...
