Okay, so the school speech in "Whale Rider" joins the last half-hour of "The Color Purple" and the scene where Liam Neeson breaks down in "Schindler's List" on the short list of movie sequences guaranteed to make me blubber like an infant.

Notice how I specified "movie sequences," since I have been known to cry over "In Memorium" Oscar reels, disgustingly adorable Beanie Babies, and the occasional Pepsi commercial.

Ooooooo ... "Go home, Sam"? If I had known that breakdown was coming, fuck tissues ... I would have been sobbing into a towel.

Then again, if not crying, I was damn close to tears from start to finish.

And ... um ... I cry when Simba's daddy dies. And also when Bambie's mother gets shot, when Dumbo's mother gets committed, when Nemo's mom gets eaten, and every time I realize how many times Walt Disney has ripped the tears straight from my ducts by orphaning the overly adorable.

Hmph. I think I'm glad he's a Creamsicle.

EVERY Pixar movie from Toy Story 2 onwards has made me cry. In TS2 it's Jessie's song. In Monsters Inc. it's Sully saying goodbye to Boo. And in Finding Nemo it's the scene when Marlin thinks Nemo is dead and Dory is begging him not to leave her.

*sniiiiiiff*

I love being a big old softie. :)

YES. Pixar likes to make me bawl. They do it all the time. Dory telling Marlin not to leave? *sniffle*

And it's not just Disney. Did you ever see "Iron Giant"? The ending of that one killed me.

Ohh yeah, that made me wail too. And I don't even like the movie that much. O_o
