Rather than creating a brand new thread on Brother Bear, I decided to bring this one back from the dead. Or at least back from 2006.

I watched Brother Bear yesterday (for the first time full-length on a DVD I bought in 2004), and although there were a few things that I didn't care for at all, I still feel that Brother Bear is a very unique film that's highly underrated. The end of the film had me in tears. I just got so upset that at the very end, that last "blooper" with the deformed bear had me laughing so hard, it totally ruined my moment. lol I'm really glad I saved it on my shelf for four years, because now that I'm older and more mature, I really respect and admire the film for what it is, rather than not knowing how to handle the film and being childish about it.

God, I hope I'm not alone on this. lol

Pollyanna - - every time!

Old Yeller

Dumbo

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Song of the South

The Fox and the Hound - C'mon. Everybody cries as Widow Tweed drives away.

Lilo & Stitch - When Nani is talking to Lilo on their last night together. If you've ever been put (or almost put as I was) into foster care simply because the person who is supposed to take care of you can't do it for reasons beyond their control, this part should get to you badly.

Meet the Robinsons - When Lewis finally gets adopted. I have absolutley no idea why this gets to me so badly, but I always start bawling just as he is about to leave the future.

Dumbo - Two words: Baby Mine.

and finally, the movie that turns me into a complete wreck every single time I see it:

Oliver & Company - When Jenny goes to get Oliver back and tells the homeless guy (whose name I can never remember) she just wants her kitty back, my eyes turn into Niagra Falls. The moment was always sad to me when I was younger but recently it has gotten a billion times more heartbreaking to watch. Last summer my beloved cat Bandit went missing. I have no idea how many nights I pleaded with the stars to let me have my kitty back, telling them I would do or give anything to see him waddle up my front steps again... Oh god, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. That part just gets to me worse than anything I have ever seen on screen before, or since.

Only two movies have actually made me cry, but there have been many others that I felt sad about. The two that made me cry was:

Beauty and the Beast:

the part when Beast gets stabbed by Gaston, and Belle is confessing her love to him. It just made me bawl because she loved him, but he was dying D:

Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch:

the end when Stitch was about to die, and Lilo was devastated. I was just so shocked and devastated that Stitch was dying.

Vermin Friends, the reappearance of Koda's mother near the ending reduced me to tears as well -- and the scenes in the credits had me laughing! You're not at all alone.

In Stitch Has a Glitch, I wasn't crying, but my emotions were yanked at for personal reasons in the scene where Stitch "died".

Nothing comes to mind really, but If I had to choose something to cry over it would most definetely be the orphaned Simba who lost his father in such a brutal murderous act!
Anyway, LionKing rules!!!!!!!!!!

I still cry during "The Lion King" when Mufasa's body is just lying there...
and the Fox and the Hound upset me so much as a kid that the video tape is in barely watched condition. "Goodbye may seem forever..." I had watched this a couple of months after my favorite kitty had died (due to some unknown sickness... the doctor had no idea what was wrong with her, she was only 4 years old!) and that line just got me so bad.

Oh and the happy ending of Enchanted. I don't really remember why I was crying, though I was an emotional wreck before I even entered the theater. Good thing hardly anyone was there...

Definitely The Lion King...Simba's dad dying was so sad....

I do that, I do that alot, when watching a Walt Disney film. especially at the end.

Ditto, the only Disney film to make me do so. It's just so perfect the ending. Although The Three Lives of Thomasina is pretty freakin' depressing at times. I haven't seen it in a while but I might have cried watching that.

I still however, don't understand the fuss about Old Yeller. He had rabies. He had to go. Hell, he tried to attack Tommy Kirk! Besides they got a new puppy.

Guess I'm not one for pets.

awww i'm sorry to hear about you cat It's heartbreaking to lose a pet. That scene gets me every time "But in my heart is a memory
And there you'll always be" - urghhh everytime!

and, well me being a dog lover the ending to Homeward Bound is guaranteed to make me cry

oh, and don't even get me started on Bambi!!!

There are very few animated Disney films I haven't cried over at one point or another (where I watch them so often, I see different scenes from different points of view and it makes them feel different every time), but there're three that make me cry every time I see them:

Pinocchio - Pinocchio's dead body. He just tried so hard to do so much and ended up dying--Geppetto's crying made the final scene worse.
The Lion King - Dead Mufasa, of course. But I also cry at the end when Simba ascends his throne.
Treasure Planet - "I'm Still There." When it shows Jim as a child, and his father walks away--"they don't know me 'cause I'm not here."

Two films that really get to me are Dumbo and The Rescuers. It's hard to keep my eyes dry through either of those. Then sometimes during the ballroom dance in Beauty and the Beast, and in Mary Poppins during "Feed the Birds" or "Let's Go Fly a Kite". The finale of Pollyanna can make me cry, especially when the train pulls away and that beautiful score is heard.

The Lion King and the old version of "The Little Princess" with S. Temple. Sarah's father has survived but he lost his memory but she recoginized him ant tried to talk with him. And the Ms Minchin told the guards to take her away...
I almost never crying while I'm watching movies but I realized that last year I really fast crying while I'm reading boooks. xD

1.Dumbo (saddest song ever)
2.Bambi

i don't think i ever cry when it comes to movies, but in Meet the Robinsons, I got very emotional towards the end, especially with the Walt Disney tribute!

Yeah, that movie surprised me. I really like Rob Thomas, and "Little Wonders" went well with that ending. I cried when he left the orphanage, and the Headmistress (if that's what she would be called) is waving. It's kind of sad they had to say goodbye. And I was happy that the Bowler Hat Guy had a happy ending. I'm such a sap.

- Dumbo - "Baby Mine" sequence
- The Fox and the Hound - "Goodbye May Seem Forever" sequence
- Oliver & Company - the opening
- The Little Mermaid - "I love you, daddy"
- Beauty and the Beast - ballroom scene and death of the Beast/transformation
- Tarzan - the opening
- Brother Bear - Kenai's transformation and ending

You know, I really don't know how badly this reply is going to go but...I have to confess...no matter how emotionally envolved I become in a Disney movie, I've never really cried watching any of them or at least not as much as I should have!

I think I may of cried on the first viewing of "The Lion King" or "The Fox and the Hound" but it was so far back and the memories I have of those times were so misty because I was so young that I can't remember if I really did. I might of cried during "Bambi" as well but (here come the boo's and the rotten tomatoes being thrown at me) I found the movie overall when I was young to be very boring and I slept through most of it.

[SPOILER, SCROLL OVER THIS TEXT TO REVEAL]Well actually, I presume I *did* cry with "Bambi" but not at the scene which everyone cries over but the very ending with the fire and the waterfall...did Bambi actually die there? Because that's what might of sparked those tears.

Although besides the movies, I remember being really close to tears when I went to see "The Lion King" stage show at London's West End last November on the scene where Mufasa is dead and Simba's trying to wake him up. I may of seen the scene in the movie before many, many times during the last decade and knew fully well what was going to happen but it's just the way that scene was portrayed, just something about it was very deep and powerful and it rightfully felt really tragic.

The closest kind of reaction I remember that I got from a Disney movie when I was young (it may not be crying but was dismay anyhow so what the hey) was when I went to see "Pocahontas" in the cinemas when it came out. Of course it was the first ever time I went to see a movie in a cinema so being so young, the lines of reality and the stuff shown on screen were blurred but I remember on a particular scene mid-way through the movie where shooting and fights were taking place (you may know which scene I'm talking about) that I was over-whelmed by what I saw and I bashed the cinema walls shouting "Oh no, John Smith! Don't let them kill you!" and then to be stopped by my Mum and told off...fun times. XD
