 Posted: Sun Sep 23, 2012 11:12 pm Post subject: Has a cartoon ever made you cry? |
 |
|
So, I was watching the Avengers. at the end of the episode,
the robot Vision said "I was created to be perfect, but I beleive that means being more human"
now, the ending seemed sad to me, espiacily considering how badly beat up Vision was at the end.
So, I had slight tears in my eyes.
I've cried at cartoons and video games before.
(for example, I creid at certain points in Soul Caliber V and Infamous 2)
I used to cry at the death of Optimus Prime in the G1 movie.
but usually don't cry at it anymore becuase I've seen that scene countless times.
I can't think of what other cartoons have made me cry, but I'm pretty sure there are more than I remember.
I always find death scenes in cartoons to be far more emotional then in live action films or normal TV shows.
I didn't cry at the death of Optimus Prime in the recent Live action movies.
Mainly becuase it just didn't seem as sad in that setting. Maybe thats becuase the new TF movies are very flawed.
but, anyway... has anyone else experienced such emotional reactions to sad parts of cartoons (as well as death scenes)?
Is this common for Aspergers?
I know I get emotional easily, in many situations...
also, I stopped watching TV for tonight after seeing that scene with Vision. I wasn't sure if the next episode was going to have a sad ending or not, and I wanted to ask about this.
As well, what cartoons do you know that have sad scenes? or any kind of emotional scenes? I'd like to know, it could give me something to watch... |

No. But I find strong affiliations with robots.
If think what you feel is perfectly normal for humans.
Several anime are very sad:
Gurren Lagann (with one of the most memorable death scenes any anime could have)
Elven Lied (nudity and gore warning - but the saddest here),
Kino's Journey (interesting perspectives of humanity)
Hell Girl (1st and 2nd season, not 3rd)
Grave of Fireflies (movie inspired by true story)
Full Metal Alchemist (fairly long and 2 versions, which does not matter)

As a child I used to cry during the scene in the first Balto movie when Balto puts on the harness and takes over the sled dog team. Considering the events that lead up to it and the swelling music accompanying it, it brought tears to my eyes because I was so happy for him.
As for sadness-crying over cartoons, when I was a child, I cried over the episode of Hamtaro called "Hamtaro, Please Come Home" where - you guessed it - Hamtaro gets lost. The reactions of his owner and his other hamster friends are what got to me. It was a really sad episode in an otherwise cute and cheerful children's anime. There was also the episode called "Farewell Bijou" where Bijou, my second favorite hamster, was moving away. I think that one made me cry too. Of course, it's been over 10 years since my Hamtaro-obsessing days and my tastes have gotten (slightly) more mature, so I don't know if the series and its handful of emotional moments could stand the test of time.
As an adult, I have cried over the Pixar movie Brave, because of the sentimental moments between Merida and her mother. (Won't write anything spoiler-y in case anyone hasn't seen it yet)

| Studio Ghibli movies seem to have this affect on me. I especially remember crying watching Isao Takahata's Hotaru no haka (Grave of the fireflies), probably the saddest anime ever made. There are a few scenes in my favourite of Hayao Miyazaki's works, Mononoke hime, which also make me cry. And the sweet innocence in Tonari no Totoro makes me cry with happiness. Other than Ghibli, the first few minutes of Pixar's Up made me cry. |

When I was a kid, one of the worst for me was about Todd the fox and Copper the hound dog. A lot of Disney cartoons can do that to me.
This isn't about a cartoon, but I thought I'd add it anyway:
I was visiting my sister in August and helping to look after my 3-year-old niece because my sister was having twins at the time. I don't know how I got on the subject with my Mum (who's 71), but I started telling her about my favourite Star Trek episodes.... I was trying to explain how good "The Inner Light" was, and before I knew it, I was crying, saying "It's just so good, you know, Picard lives an entire lifetime in 25 min, etc. etc". I managed to stop tearing up, and then I started again, hahaha. I think my mother must have thought I was completely nuts . . . .

Seconded--and when he plays that melody at the end.... 
I also want to add: PINKY AND THE BRAIN CHRISTMAS and parts of WALL-E.

Snoopy Come Home.
When I was very little, I was terrified of Scooby Doo cartoons and "Night on Bald Mountain" from Fantasia.

Some of these scenes made me cry out loud but seriously not that loud while others just made cry on the inside or they were just sad. Let's face it, it was always the music. If these scenes didn't have the music then it wouldn't be sad.
On TV
Beast Wars - The episode Code of Hero where Dinobot dies and quotes Shakespeare, though I don't really know Shakespeare at all but only he could do sothing that cool R.I.P. Chopper Face. That was his nickname by the way.
Pokemon - There were several episodes that may have shed a few tears. Two in particular that I remember were Bye Bye Butterfree where Ash lets his Butterfree go and Pikachu's Goodbye where he did the same for Pikachu and there was that song but Pikachu decided to stay with Ash.
Digimon - Like Pokemon there were also several episodes that shedded tears, mostly from the second season and mostly involving the character Ken who was the evil Digimon Emperor through the first half of the season. Like when his Digimon partner Wormmon died and when he returned home and started remembering his deceased brother who died of an unexplaned death and the reunion with his parents and Wormmon coming back.
The Simpsons - The Mother Simpson episode where Homer's Mother is forced to leave again at the end was pretty sad especially with Homer sitting on his car and watching the stars to the sad music played during the end credits. Also the episode And Maggie Makes Three where Maggie was born and Homer was upset at all this which cost him his job at the bowling ally and caused him to 'crawl' back to the Nuclear Power Plant, but when Maggie held his thumb he fell instantly in love with her. There are probably some other emotion moments on this show but I'll just stick with those two for now.
Futurama - This show has probably shed a few tears. Fry's Dog, his Nephew, his space love note to Leela that was blown up, Leela being reunited with her parents, the worms episode, the end of Bender's Big Score, the list probably goes on.
Family Guy - The episode where Brian befriend this old lady who was ran over by a car or truck and she died in the hospital was pretty sad though Dr Hartman ruined it by saying "Who wants to see a dead body", it did bring a little bit off a smile to my face but the old lady dying was still sad. also the episode where Brian was willing to give his kidney to Peter despite the fact that he would die was pretty emotion, though maybe not too emotional.
In the Movies
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Snow White dies, the Dwarfs all cry including Grumpy and they all put her in a glass coffin so that they may see her all the time. She ain't gonna look to pretty when the corpse deforms, but you all know how it ends. I use to fast forward that scene.
The Jungle Book - Balloo dies and Bageerha gives a uligi though at the time he's doing this we see Balloo is actually alive listening so when you think about it now it was really a funny scene.
The Fox and the Hound - That song the Old lady is singing when she is giving up the fox. I think I fast forwarded that scene too.
The Lion King - Mufasa died but I don't think I really cried that much. Don't get me wrong it was sad.
Treasure Planet - I didn't cry but I thought it was sad when Silver left. Though this movie was kinda messed up with the weird combination of sci fi and the olden times it had good characters. I love this version of Silver for reforming. Don't think I've seen any other version of him that do that.
Bolt - This may not be my favourite Disney film (it's a great film by the way) but it probably has one the saddest moments in the history of Disney. Bolt who is a TV star thinks all the things around him is real and ends up getting lost in the outside world where he trys to find his owner Penny and he does eventually return home (knowing that he was a TV star at this time) runs up to her while carrying his squeaky toy carrot while Penny is calling out his name but it turns out she is acting and calling out to Bolt's replacement and the real Bolt sees this and sadly walks away leaving his carrot behind only for Penny after acting out the scene saying to her Mum that she misses the real Bolt.
Tangled - Flynn Ryder aka Eugene Fitzherbert dies in Rapuzel's arms saying she was his new dream and her saying he was her's. But he survives of course.
Toy Story 2 - Jessie's song about how she was loved by her owner and then given up.
Monsters Inc - The scene where Sulley says goodbye to Boo. This makes me beg for a sequel but instead we're getting a prequel. Hope it'll be good.
Finding Nemo - Nemo's mum and brothers and sisters die at the beginning, the moment where Marlin thinks Nemo is dead before being reunited with him and when Nemo's under the net and he and Marlin start making up and all though that last bit wasn't sad but happy but still made you heavy eyed.
Wall.E - Wall.E gets crushed and is struggling to survive. His suffering just balls me up inside.
Up - Need I say anything about this.
Toy Story 3 - Again as above
Kung Fu Panda 2 - Po finding out the truth about his parents and his relationship with his adoptive father makes this more than just a regular Dreamworks animated film it was awesome from start to finish.
Shrek Forever After - OK so it's not the best out of the four but it had probably the saddest moment when Shrek disappears from exsistence and telling Fiona that the best about today was that he got to fall in love with her all over again. But he survives.
The Simpsons Movie - Homer watches the taped over wedding video that Marge did for him saying that she is leaving him. I never thought anything coming out of Marge Simpson could be so sad.
Transformers The Movie - Optimus Prime dies, need I say more.
Chicken Run - That one Chicken at the beginning was killed was pretty hardcore, though I'm not an eater or lover of Chickens stuff like that almost makes me feel guilty for eating meat and stuff.
The Iron Giant - The Giant sacrifices himself in the end to save the towns people. I like how grown up Hogarth is when the Giant tells him he's going and Hogarth must stay and not follow and an upset Hogarth tells him that he loves him. Remember in Terminator 2 when the Terminator is gonna sacrifice himself to the molten and John Connor is all upset and crying though you can't really blame him, well Hogarth who is clearly younger is more grown up and letting him go that's really sad. |

It's been a while since a cartoon made me cry, but I remember crying while watching
Toy Story 3...for obvious reasons.

| Just the first episode of Gargoyles for some reason. I had seen a few previous episodes, and I never knew how much Goliath and Demona had actually loved each other, and after the gargoyle race was practically exterminated (this was before Angela) by humans just affected me a lot. |

I have definitely cried in anime, for starters with the first pokemon movie, there was Grave of the Fireflies that someone else mentioned. I would say the saddest would be an anime I watched where a father lost his wife at childbirth, and later lost his daughter in his arms.
I actually just cried this week at one, Fairy Tail, where it was revealed that a certain character was not an actual human, And also in Sword Art Online.
There is also Futurama, the episode with the dog always makes me tear up.
