Originally Posted By ToonKirby Great article, some of those were in my '50 greatest' article from last year ...

After the stepsisters have assaulted her, Cinderella sits sobbing in the garden ... The scene where Triton destroys Ariel's grotto gets to me for some odd reason ... The death and resurrection of the Beast ... Genie: "You'll always be a prince to me ... " "Colors of the Wind" is very powerful and emotional ... Mulan's homecoming with her father, when he tosses the sword of Shan Yu and amulet of the Emperor aside to embrace his daughter ... Tarzan to Kala: "You'll always be my mother" ... now that's acting. Woody to Buzz at the end of "Toy Story 2": (paraphrasing) "I'll have Buzz Lightyear by my side, to infinity and beyond." The breath-taking beauty of the Sprite upon her rebirth in "Fantasia 2000" ... Lilo and Nani sitting on the hammock as Nani sings "Aloha 'Oe", the wind taking the flowers off into the sky ... get goosebumps just thinking about that one.

In Nightmare Before Christmas, when the Xmas tree that Sally is holding burns to a crisp in a foreshadowing of what's to come, I always get the chills. The end of Lady and the Tramp, when Trusty lies unconcious under the wheels of the wagon, and his his friend Jock howls mournfully into the night. Geppetto seeing Pinnochio lying face down in a tide pool. And of course, in Mickey's Christmas Carol, the scene where Mickey as Bob Cratchit stands over the grave of his son Tiny Tim. As he clutches Tim's cane, he looks up, his eyes fill with tears, and I'm crying like a baby. MUSASHI P.S. There's also the famous picture that was published after Jim Henson died. With their backs to us, we see the simple picture of Mickey and Kermit, with Mickey's arm draped over Kermit's shoulder, as if to say "I've been there too..."

Originally Posted By musashi-2112 I had a copy of it a few years ago on my computer, and then of course, my hard drive crashed! They talked about it in Life magazine...

On its cover Mickey Mouse sat with his arm around the spindly shoulders of a bereaved Kermit. Upstairs there was a growing file of letters from children. One of them read, "God must have needed Muppets in heaven." I've been searching the net since I started thinking about it again, but so far haven't found anything...seeing as both companies are very protective of their characters, they might have made the website owners take the pic down, because it's been a few years since I've seen it. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find it. MUSASHI

Ta this DAY I cain't watch that scene without sheddin' a little tear...and whenever I sees Prince Phillip in one a the Dizzy theme parks, ya can bet I go up and give him a swift kick in the shins fer what he did ta one a my fav'rite heroines!!
Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: Well, several ducklings have already mentioned THE FOX & THE HOUND and the scenes that make them reach for the tissues. But I think the ENDING of the movie is equally touching, as you realize the two best friends will never be able to socialize in the future, due to the very different directions their lives have taken. It reminds me of a situation with a loved one in my own life, whom I will never see again, even though they sitll live. Very sad.
