Cartoons that made you cry as a kid?

[CyberFox]

This is a companion piece to Stainslav's "Cartoons that upset you as a kid?" thread

these 2 tearjerked me: Windwagon Smith and Johnny Appleseed

What about you fellers?

[Chooch]

I wasn't exactly a kid, but Feed the Kitty made me blubber more than a few times.

[ferpme]

A 2nd to FEED THE KITTY. It STILL gets me.....especially nice the one time I saw it with a packed house on a big screen.
May I add...THE WHALE THAT WANTED TO SING AT THE MET.

[Mark J]

I never saw a cartoon that made me cry - it's a cartoon. Laugh yes. Cry no. I don't remember ever crying from anything on tv or the movies. The only cartoon that ever upset me was Fantasia. It was so boring I couldn't stand it and walked out of the theatre. I remember feeling duped and angry that I was going to see a Disney movie and instead there was classical music and dancing animals, plus I was across the street from the beach on a sunny day and realized I was wasting a good beach day.

Little Match Girl - unbelievably touchy and heartful cartoon
Peace on Earth - amazing
Feed the Kitty - it shouldn't suppose to make me cry, but it does wet my eyes a bit every time

[J. J. Hunsecker]

I hate to admit this, but in Toy Story II, when the cowgirl doll Jessie was abandoned by her owner, I got a little teary eyed. Gives me a lump in the throat just thinking about it now.

[FleischerFan]

I'm with JJ on this one. I can tear up a bit just thinking about that sequence.

And then, that song lost at the Oscars to some homogenous piece of pop crap written by Phil Collins for Disney's Tarzan cartoon.

One more reason why I do not take the Oscars all that seriously.

This scene from "Here Comes Garfield" always got to me as a kid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WjnvW3DHrmo

Kudos to Dessiree Goyette for the song.

[BloodyChamp]

I'm all over this when I get home. I'm a sucker for 10 minute tear jerkers. I'm only on lunch now from work but I did watch the Garfield clip that I've never seen and.....wow.........

[Bugsmer]

There are several tear-jerker cartoons, but they've never made me cry, and none have left me feeling uneasy, though some have struck me as being very odd.

[BloodyChamp]

I've never literally cried but I've watered up a hundred times. The worst fight I had to put up against the waterworks was this past Christmas when I watched The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. That was one that my cool sister had been after her nerd brother to dig up for a real long time. I did just that and it was one of her Christmas presents. We watched it that morning. The story has it's teary moments but it's not THE most tear inducing. Add it in with the sentimental value in my case, the look on my beautiful sister's face when she opened it, Christmas, etc and you get it.

Others...

There's Good Boos Tonight
Tom Thumb in Trouble
Play Safe
Somewhere in Dreamland
The little Dutch Mill
Feed the Kitty
Peace on Earth
Little Match Girl
Countless Disney movies

Anyone remember the Talespin episode where the ghost of some old man saved Kit and Baloo? The end left me absolutely stunned when Baloo just looked at the old man's cane that he used and realized he was gone.

[oceansoul]

Same here BloodyChamp. :)

I also remember a memorable Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers episode, when it seemed Chip got smashed by a trunk after a series of furtune telling predictions came true. That scene watered my eyes for a moment.

And we shouldn't forget The old mill. Don't know why, but I found that cartoon quite sad.

And we shouldn't forget The old mill. Don't know why, but I found that cartoon quite sad.
It's sad fo two reasons:

1. It's boring.

2. It won an Oscar over Little Match Girl.

[oceansoul]

I mentioned LMG in my earlier post. Great cartoon. But Old Mill isn't boring at all, it's wonderfully animated with big production values, and then it has some stormy moments which ruined nearly the "living" structure. But if you don't like it, well... just join the popular "Disney cartoons suxx!!1" club.

Which, sadly, adds more and more members every year.

I don't hate the Disney cartoons. I like a lot of them actually. The Old Mill is just one of the few that has never really interested me.

Right alongside the Chuck Jones TnJs sux bunch right :rolleyes:

I still feel a real tearjerker to the Smurfs' episode "Once in a Blue Moon". The scene when the Stork leave the village with Baby Smurf (at last because they had a mistake of deliveries) make me still want to crying out loud.

I remember feel the same with the Disney's feature Pinnochio before. I was a pity kid.

When Charlie Brown started singing "It Changes" after Snoopy left him in Snoopy Come Home, it was more than I could stand. Still is.

[gflinn]

The Clampett cartoon "Snorky" from the B&C show.

[CueBallCat79]

Yeah, Snoopy Come Home is emotionally manipulative as all hell, but I enjoy it very much either way. Good example.

I do agree with Doctoon that this scene from SNOOPY COME HOME with Charlie Brown missing his dog is one of the saddest I ever have seen in a Cartoon.
Hanna-Barbera´s CHARLOTTE´S WEB also ranks among the saddest, most gag-less animated movies ever made. And if we should add Japanese animation, the list would grow even longer (GRAVESTONE OF THE FIREFLIES, anyone?).
Oddly enough, when I went to see THE IRON GIANT at a local theater, during the scene in which the Giant sacrifies himself to protect the townspeople from the bomb, I noticed that the kid sitting text to me was shredding a tear! At that moment, I thought, "how wonderful that there are still animated movies able to stirr emotions among audiences". And to this day, I am still puzzled how one of the finest animated movies of the 90´s didn´t become the box-office success it deserved to be when it was first released, despite its critical acclaim and cult status.

WATERSHIP DOWN is also very dramatic, and oddly my brother and I loved it as young children.

[FlapperPrower]

Almost every mean-spirited cartoon or any cartoon where the protagonist is treated bad and doesn't deserve it. I cried alot in my early childhood. :o I remember this one certain cartoon from the 30's where two poor siblings dream where they're in a land full of sweets and they were dressed pretty fancy. I was so happy for them, it made me cry.

As long as we're talking about Charlie Brown, the "Just One Person" number from the animated version of "Snoopy: The Musical" reduced me to tears every time I saw it. To this day I don't know why.

I wonder if Chow Hound might compound such a reflex w/its ending...

[JacksonBlitzer]

Peace on Earth- (both versions) made me bawl my eyes out... Still does!

I think the cartoon is titled "Somewhere in Dreamland" by the great Max Fliescher.

One cartoon that made me cry when I was 7, was Olive's Boitday Presink, where Popeye was about to shoot Geezil in a bear coustume, that dramatic moment made me quite upset. Now I find it funny.

What upset me about this film when I was a kid was that my sister would be crying so much by the time the song Bright Eyes came on that my mum would turn it off and I'd never get to see the ending. I remember one day it happened to be on when my sister was out so I finally got to watch it all the way through. No crying from me, but I was very impressed when the bird uttered a mild swear word!

[rimshot630]

As a kid, Bugs' "death" at the end of "What's Opera Doc?" made me cry several times. I knew Bugs wasn't really dieing, and I must have seen it a million times on TV, but it got to me a lot! Must have been the music and my little emotions going crazy!
