Which Pixar film always makes you cry?

It didn’t make me cry, but I did see some people in the theatre start getting a little teary eyed during that part. We are all different people A113. Somethings strike harder to some people than to others.

I agree with you there - it seems to me that everytime you have a character that’s evil just for the sake of being evil - something about it doesn’t seem real. They always have some drive going - whether it’s for momey or glory, but you never see any that “know” they’re the villian, if you know what I mean. My fave example of that would be Hopper - under the surface, he knows and fears that the colony could overtake them by number, and that’s what drives him to make them fear him.

rachel - I’m terribly sorry that I never replied to your post.

Most definitely. It is a grande and most beatific finale, one which I’m viewing as we speak…

We’ll achieve our goals. Heheh.

Heheh. Yes, exactly. :wink:

Monsters, Inc. : The ending, and when Boo opens the closet to see if Sulley is there.

Finding Nemo: When Marlin is about to leave Dory and she tells him he is the reason he remembers things. Also, the ending.

WALL•E: Even if it’s not released yet, that part in the latest trailer where [spoil]WALL•E sighs while watching Hello Dolly[/spoil] always gets me :`-(

Mitch - Ah, no sweat. Yes, indeed it is. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In

You mean you watch Ratatouille while you are on the computer? Ha-ha!

Heh.

NOW I remember the reason that Ratatouille impacted me at such a little amount; I was watching it with my joker classmates, who totally laughed when the flashback was initiated, with the reason being that a man gaining flashback after placing a food into his mouth (or a portion of the food) is rather humorous to Singaporeans, as we are just that shallow, sue them.

But not me, because I am a deep person. :laughing:

However, I failed to receive the deepness within the movie, mainly because the influence my friends presented was affective and in turn, I lost all sense in getting in touch with the aspects that… made you people weep in sorrow.

Nevertheless, there are Pixar productions that triggered my tears…

Toy Story
I guess the tearjerker scene in the first film would be the one where Buzz discovers his true identity, but was helpless to do anything about the matter at the time. However, I find it to be… sympathetic. That’s it. To shed a tear upon this scene for me is… rather difficult. But that’s not to say that I don’t feel for the characters in the Toy Story franchise. :wink:

Toy Story 2
In the scene where Jessie sang her heart out, god, that was something. To not be loved by anyone in the world, I can relate to that. Hence, my theory is that if one is able to relate to something, the chances that he or she would feel for that something is higher.

Also, the tunes in “When She Love Me” is filled with sorrowful aspects. :cry: Especially with the scene following that…

Woody: “Jessie I…”
Jessie: “Just go…”

Monster Inc
Obviously, the “teary” scene in this one would be the one near the ending, where Sully had to leave Boo in order to maintain the order of two worlds once more. However, some would also consider the scene where Sully sulks on his own about Boo’s sudden departure from his life a “tearjerking” scene as well, but I would not be found in one of those people. :stuck_out_tongue:

Finding Nemo
This… THIS is probably the best one out of all the Pixar productions (in terms of tearjerkers). The emotions the film brought in the scene where Nigel apologizes towards Marlin’s loss was full of sorrow and ultimately, the silence made you (or me, at the least) want to tear my heart out as Marlin was left there, “son-less (if it would be the correct term).”

Of course, as with the other tearjerkers, these is an alternate scene of weeping; the Dory departure scene, when Dory professed her feelings towards Marlin, and the manner she spoke, it was truly provoking.

Cars
There was a time when Radiator Springs was largely populated and likened, which is the message the song played in the flashback scene was attempting to bring out. The tunes, along with the grimness of how the town was left behind in the manner of Jessie’s tragic story, was amazingly put together to form one of the most mournful scene in the Pixar history.

In fact, the tunes have a lot to do with the amount of emotions that will be generated. You follow the flow of the song, and when it hits one point where the lyrics bring you to a, rather grim image, it just sort of tug out your tears… and tissues.

WALL-E
Sure, the trailer was romantic, but that’s all I gotto give. To tell you the truth, I do not know what all the fuss is about, in terms of touching your hearts. Though it is true that a prediction would be that WALL-E and EVE might not be together in the end, causing a worrying factor which would bring some sorrow to people, but in the end, we all know how it would go down; a happy ending, as it’s a Pixar movie.

No offense to all WALL-E fans, even if the film is not out for another four months.

WBoon: I assume that nothing in The Incredibles made you shed one tear huh? I mean, I hear from most members here that there were some tear jerker moments in TI.

I don’t remember any scene like that in The Incredibles.

I guess when Bob gets told that his family have supposedly been killed, that’s a pretty heart-wrenching moment because you can really feel his pain. And throughout the film, I do generally feel pretty bad for Buddy.

But The Incredibles is more of an action, fun kind of film rather than something that makes you feel a whole range of emotions, most of the time at least.

Well, there is when Bob was crying, believing his family died in the plane explosion. And there is also Bob’s "I can’t loose you again’ line. And my favorite tear jerker I saw in theatres, Helen’s and Violet’s little scene together.

Monsters Inc: When Sully had to say goodbye…it makes me cry for sure.
Cars: when Sally told about their town before and the song makes me cry.
The Incredibles: the end when Syndrome gets sucked in his jet turbine…I always cry at that part…its so sad.

Awww, I understand when that part happens in TI Syndrome. You must really like him do ya?

The scene where Buzz tries to fly and fails is the most depressing of any Pixar movie. Jessie’s song about Emily was also sad. None of the movies made me cry though.

Pixar should have more movies with songs… you know, like those old Disney musicals. Songs are powerful.

I agree, the songs can add emotion to it. BUt if animated correctly, the perfect script, and with the right acting voice, you can make anyone cry.

I don’t think any part of a movie that doesn’t have music has ever made me cry.

THat’s understandable,

People told me Mr. Incredible’s line “I can’t loose you again!, I can’t, not again. I’m not. . . strong enough” had no music in the back and they told me they were crying.

finding nemo and lilo and stich are the only animated movies that can make me cry :wink:

What part of Finding Nemo made you cry Rac_Rules?

Consider yourself lucky than. :laughing: There are few animated movies I can get through without crying. (Horton Hears a Who being the most recent)

I’ve always found my eyes getting a little misty over the following scenes:

Toy Story: When Buzz attempts to launch himself off Sid’s stairway banister, to the tune of “I Will Go Sailing No More”. The pathos of the moment with Buzz trying to deny his own delusion with the brave act that defines him (i.e. he can fly), put together with one of Newman’s great contributions to the Pixar soundtrack oeuvre always makes me cry a bit. And if anything it gets more poignant with repeated viewings; you know what is going to happen to Buzz and hence the waterworks.

Toy Story 2: My heart breaks when Jessie’s experience with her human owner is paired with Sarah MacLachlan’s “When She Loved Me”, and if anything it’s more moving than the aforementioned moment with Buzz. One of the greatest aspects of Pixar’s creativity is that they combine brilliant moments of emotional exposition for their characters with wonderful music (much like Disney did way back in the days of Menken & Ashman, or the very first animated features). Anyway, if you have ever felt abandoned by someone who loved you, plus perhaps have a wistful desire to revisit all those childish pleasures that this scene evokes, then it’ll be no surprise to grab a tissue whilst Jessie’s sad back story is shown.

Monsters Inc: Easy…I get all soppy as soon as Boo and Sully part, after he and Mike return her to her room. You’d have to have a heart of stone not to get all teary watching Sully part with Boo, and then it gets even more weepy when Boo tries to find Sully and discovers he’s gone. Then, the eyes go all watery again when Mike helps Sully open the door back into Boo’s room, and although you don’t see anything of the reunion, Boo’s exclamation of “Kitty!” is a tearjerker too.

Cars: Again, it’s the juxtaposition of a song and an exposition scene that gets me crying, and in Cars it’s “Our Town” performed by James Taylor. Maybe it’s a little more simplistic in its nostalgia than the moments I’ve cited above from both Toy Stories, but I still cry a bit watching Radiator Springs decline and gradually take away the life and heart of the town for the main characters. Again, for anyone who’s lived in a small town that has changed or even died, it’s very moving. Plus James Taylor’s voice is perfect.

As for all the other Pixar films, no major eruptions of Embarrassing Male Tear Syndrome. But I can tell already that Wall-E is going to be a definite 3 hanky alert film!
