Title: Cartoons that have made you cry.
Post by: NeverQuiteGoth on 14 Jul 2009, 23:02
Hah. Dora almost got Marten targeted for another Scorngasm. I think its funnier that they were watching Land Before Time to begin with, IMO.

So, time to confess. What animated movies have made you cry?

I remember the first time I watched the first Pokemon movie, it made me tear up something fearce. In my defence, I was only in my tweens.  :-P

Grave of the Fireflies. I defy anyone to watch that and NOT cry. I haven't even read Maus or seen Barefoot Ren and I know I will cry when I do.

I also cried as a kid during Bambi, Snow White, Lady and the Tramp and Dumbo.

Anime:
Grave of the Fireflies: Given. If you didn't cry, you either did NOT pay any attention, or you have a void in place of your heart. One of those movies that you watch once, cry, and never watch again. Not because it was bad, but because it was TOO SAD.
5cm Per Second: Makoto Shinkai's work in general has gotten to me to tear up, but this one made me cry.
Not sure if this counts, but I did cry during the Hisui ending of the Tsukihime visual novel game. It was done in Anime style, so I guess it counts.

Cartoons:
Up!: Up! had me cry two times. It was actually the first American made animation that made me cry.

That's really it. I mean, things have made me tear up now and then, but only a few things can really make me cry.

Edit - Somebody mentioned Maus, totally forgot about that one. I read it for a History class I took, it was amazing. I don't remember crying (I know I teared up though), but it came close enough to warrant a mention.

Grave of the Fireflies. Amen.

I can't think of any cartoons that made me cry off the top of my head, but I'm sure it's happened. The Lion King, maybe?
Anyway, if I'm emotional enough to start with, anything will make me cry.

The one that got me the worst that I can remember, I mean it really made me bawl, was Voices of a Distant Star

I really thought I could make it to the end without crying... But... It was just way to much, such a wonderful movie but everything is so horrible and the dude just wanted his son to have a good enough life!

Then again.. that was a movie with actors. No cartoon film has maked me cry except Fantasia but that's because the music and the animation was beautiful... Out of this world

the fox and the hound. i am eighteen years old and can't make it five minutes into that film without sobbing like a kid.

i also cried during finding nemo, when his mom died at the beginning.
(i haven't seen bambi, i won't allow myself to. i know it'd be too sad.)

and of course, the lion king. still to this day brings a tear to thine eye.

man, kid movies are such a bummer.

EDIT: fruits basket also made me cry at some points (the anime and the manga, but i mean the anime).
and gravitation.
which is really funny, because he modeled the magical love gentleman fan art off of the artist who does fruits basket.
and gravitation is straight-up shonen-ai.

I can't remember many actual crying moments, but I can remember a lot of times when I got emotional about fictional characters' plight.

In the game Valkyria Chronicles when (Certain character) died, it made me move in the general direction of crying.  (Japanese RPGs count as anime)

Most of the instances I can think of feeling like that are from human acted drama though.  Most of the animes grown up enough to get me emotionally involved don't get licensed in the US.  As far as cartoons, most of the tragic ones I saw when I was little (And cried at some of them), and modern kids cartoons don't have the balls to kill off any characters because it'd make overprotective parents write angry letters.  Bambi's mom would never die if Bambi was written today.

The one that got me the worst that I can remember, I mean it really made me bawl, was Voices of a Distant Star

I could feel it coming when Mikako had the emotional breakdown near the end when she realized that she may never see Terao again, and starts crying in her cockpit, pleading that she just wants to go home. I didn't cry though. I think the problem was that it wasn't long enough. Voices got me close, but I never ended up crying, but it is only about 24 minutes long. 5cm on the other hand is closer to an hour/hour and 15 minutes, so it had much more time to choke tears out of me.

Voices was beautiful though.

I don't remember actually crying to any film at all, but some were really close. No, I did not supress the feelings. It just takes really much sadness to squeeze some tears out of my eyes.

Full Metal Alchemist got me more than once. Zingoleb, you are right, this was the most emotional happening in the whole series.

Princess Mononoke was close, too.

Lion King totally made me cry - and that's a good thing! Children don't need to be completely sheltered, god I hate excessively dumbed-down kid's movies. Iron Giant made me feel tearful but not actually cry (an adult for the latter). I forgot how great that movie was! Haven't actually cried at cartoons as an adult but I have started to cry more easily in movies. :P

I've never really been one to cry at movies often (I decided at a young age it was weak to cry about movies but not other stuff, dunno why) but I do get emotionally invested, and I never understood the entertainment value in watching, reading or listening to something that doesn't stir you emotionally. Why bother?

Geez, man, you got me good. I was going to mention the same thing. Luck of the Fryish hurt me worse than Jurassic Bark, though, as a tear actually rolled down my cheek.

I teared up just a tad toward the end of Gran Torino too.

All men here should be ashamed of crying full-blown if they did so in the presence of others. In private is perfectly all right.

Truth! Although the second time I was all "shit, that sucks".

Yeah I cried a bit to The Iron Giant but the feelgood ending kinda stopped that pretty fast.

Some of the scenes in Full Metal Panic got me close, mainly in The Second Raid series.

honestly I didnt cry when bambi's mom died.  Not because I had no feelings but I actually didnt know she died!  I thought she abandoned Bambi and I resented the mother because of this until I saw it in my teen years when my young cousins watched the movie.  I was like, "oh wow, she died?!"

Land Before time and Lion King I almost did.  I had that lump in your throat when you feel it coming but I forced it away.

I almost did at the end of Futurama episode about Fry's dog.  That has to be the sadest thing I have EVER seen! Such a devoted dog, waiting for his master to return.  Fry never returns, but he still waits.  Unit one day his eye lids are so heavy, he closes them, for the last time.  I wouldnt be surprised if I did cry but couldnt remember.

Fox and the Hound, I was probably 7 or 8. I kept it together until I was to the restroom, so that no one would see me cry. That's it, though. The "gifted" program in middle school killed that innocent part of me; Maus was the first reading requirement, and then we went over all of the stuff that was too terrible for the novel to depict (I especially remember the part about the Nazi's dealing with Jewish babies...like clay disks). It's funny to look back at crying over a work of fiction when there are much more horrendous things happening in reality at this very moment.

I'll disagree with that actually. I wouldn't restrain it to animation.
That said, I can say honest to god i didn't cry watching it. Sure I was really sad and torn up, but i tend to deal with that stuff internally. It gets me thinking rather than get me alll teary eyed.

I never watched Futurama (yeah yeah, I suck) so I didn't understand exactly what was going on, but I've seen the clip.  The dog waits literally forever (for him) and Fry never comes back.  Who is Fry?  Can someone explain what the hell is going on, because I don't know anything about Fry other than that he made his dog wait forever, which is a totally dick thing to do.  Unless something happened to him.

Well, the whole premise of Futurama is that Fry is an average pizza delivery boy who ends up cryogenically frozen and wakes up in the future. So he doesn't leave the dog on purpose.

pretty much.  Fry finda the fossil remains of the dog and wants to clone him.  he decides against it when he discovers the dog lived a full life when the professor tells fry the age ot which the dog died.  So fry figured he lead a good life and let him rest in peice.

then it flashes back to the dog waiting for fry.  Waiting and waiting...

Not really.  The whole point of the episode was that Fry loved the dog (literally his only friend) and fought tooth and nail to recover his fossilized remains.  Then he leapt at the possibility that his dog could be reborn with memories intact.  When he learned that the dog had died at a much older age, he assumed that Seymour had lived a full and happy life and didn't want to spoil that.

Then it flashes back to the past to show that Syemour loved Fry as much as Fry loved him and it's a heart-warming story and dammit I get weepy just typing it.

I think the truly sad part about Jurassic Bark was that Fry assumed that Seymour had lived a long and fulfilling life when, in actuality, he spent every day of those years waiting for Fry. Essentially, the dog would have wanted to have been reunited with his owner...and that will never come to fruition.

That's the part that got me. Fry didn't realize he was making a mistake in not returning his dog to life and he believed Seymour forgot about him. Seymour's loyalty was for nothing.

The Hachiko wiki got me teary eyed. I'm such a sap.

A good chunk of the animations and movies mentioned got me as well...but here's one I never understood until now. I started tearing at the end of Yu Yu Hakusho. I liked the series when it first premiered on Cartoon Network when I was in high school, and about halfway through it was cut. Years later, during a college break, I found out that the series had been completed in its dub form (and that series had a great English dub IMO). I got every single remaining episode and watched them a few hours a day through a series of days. And then I got to the last episode...and I realized the story was over. Nothing more would come of the series, the story, and the characters that I came to love.

It was done...and I was sad to see it go. Same thoughts came from the end of Cowboy Bebop, though the ending itself was sad enough on its own.

I cried when i saw "When the wind blows" as animated movie the first time:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/RogerWaters_WTWB.JPG)

I had to swallow hard during the scene where Jim phones his son to better come out from London, all believing that the 3rd War will be pretty much like the second and is getting angry as his son tells him that he will stay in London with his family, with no shelter so that they all die instantly in the coming blast because that is so much better than surviving...

And i broke in tears in the last 10 mins of the film, when Hilda and Jim at last die from Radiation Sickness, still believing in the Nuclear Propaganda Crap and packing themselves away into paper bags with their last bit of strength, thinking this might help as written, and where they then finaly die.

Youtube has that scene up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDVFzpAjGb8

Especially the part with "Shall we start to pray dear? While we wait for the emergency response teams?"

Still get a shiver when hearing Bowie sing "When the wind blows..."

It doesn't take much to make me cry. I almost cried at a Beach Boys concert tonight because of the sentiment in the lyrics in one of the songs.

I'd cry too if I went to a Beach Boys concert.

no offense. ;)

> Seriously, I cant recall having ever cried at a cartoon. "Land Before Time" goes in the 'maybe - but i cant remember' file.

Anime:
Grave of the Fireflies: Given. If you didn't cry, you either did NOT pay any attention, or you have a void in place of your heart. One of those movies that you watch once, cry, and never watch again. Not because it was bad, but because it was TOO SAD.

Cartoons:
Up!: Up! had me cry two times.

I could barely make myself finish watching Grave of the Fireflies. I agree completely, and have never watched it again because it's just too sad.

I cried twice during Up! as well: in the first few minutes and again near the end when he's going through the book and finally sees the pictures.

As many others have said, the death of Littlefoot's mother, the death of Mufasa, are all tearjerkers. I also cried during The Incredibles ("I can't lose you again! I'm not... I'm not strong enough"), at the end of Bambi II when his father thinks he's dead, and one I can't believe no one has said yet, during Ice Age when they're in the cave and see the paintings. Also cried, just for a second, at Howl's Moving Castle when Sofi yells that she's never been beautiful and runs out into the rain.

What can I say, I'm a sap with a difficult profession who enjoys an easy emotional outlet (:

I cried at the end of the anime Pita Ten. IT IS AN ANIME THAT IS FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH CUTE AND THEN BREAKS YOUR HEART AT THE END.

Umm, FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa made me cry....

The end of Avatar: The Last Airbender made me bawl for a straight ten minutes.

Fuck, I can't even narrow it down. I'm such an oversensitive wimp that I cry at EVERYTHING. I cry at music videos sometimes. ._.

ok, you got me there... I really hate Disney's robin hood, I don't know why... but you're right, those are classics. But no way Little mermaid, lion king and oliver are classics- the definition of classic is not just being old, you know??!

talking about Avatar, just remembered one that made me cry: the episode "the tales of Ba Sing Sei", which has short segments. The one where Uncle Iroh (my absolute favorite character in the whole series) remembers his dead son.

yeah that was pretty damn sad.  Had a lump in my throat on that one, especially when at the end of his song they froze it in time and In Memory of Mako (the voice of Iroh, who died at the end of the earth book season) appeared.  I was like, aww.

whats the defination of classic disney movie then?  just curious.  poking the tiger with a stick... but the poker is a curious grizzly that never saw a tiger before.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Last Unicorn!

"Why do you come to me now?" had me tearing up, and the ending on the beach, with Prince Lear awakening, saw tears rolling down my cheeks.  Even just listening to the opening theme makes me tear up, actually.  This, very recently, despite seeing it about 50 times as a kid.

Also, despite efforts to maintain control, I cried 3 times during UP.  Could have cried even more, if I'd let myself!

As a teen I cried during the Anastasia cartoon, which is pretty ridiculous, but... I was in a sensitive phase.  Yes, that's it.

Ok, I can't be the only one who cried a bit during the movie: Flight of the Navigator

Also, the book Jeremy Thatcher: Dragon Hatcher was really really really hard to finish when I was younger.  Its so hard to see the pages with all the tears in the way.

'The Sting' Futurama episode and as someone else mentioned, Dinobot's death in Beast Wars, are probably the only non-movie cartoons that had me tearing up.  As far as movies go, The Land Before Time, Lion King, Wall-E (hey, don't judge me), and a few others come to mind.

And even though it's not a cartoon, I think 'Bridge to Terabithia' (the book; I didn't see the movie but there's no way it did the novel justice) deserves mention here.  I read it once in seventh grade almost twelve years ago, but even after that much time, it remains one of the extremely few books that I can't bring myself to read again even though I know it's a great story.

Seconded, they made me do a book review on it at the early part of high school (7th or 8th grade). Guh...

The only movies of any kind that have even brought me close to tears are what i refer to as 'hero' movies. Example: The roman era verion of King Arthur, before the final big battle. The willingness to put thier lives on the line for something bigger than themselves got to me...

Im also a big fan of the TV series "Dexter", i think there may be something wrong with me...

How could I have forgotten The Last Unicorn?! I adore that movie, and it makes me cry too. When Molly yells at her, when she sees Lear fallen and turns on the bull, when Lear wakes on the beach, and even when she's talking to Shmendrick at the end ("I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I'm no longer like the others, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but now I do. I regret...") ::sniffle::

I'm curious as to what was the third thing in UP! that made you cry. Without using spoilers, I cried within the first five minutes (duh) and near the end when he sees the pictures in the book.

And I cried during Anastasia when she and her grandmother realized they found each other (:
