Have you ever been moved by animation?

Don't forget, "You taught me how to fish."

>>149966821 (OP)
King of the Hill has always excelled at that, it's quite impressive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVyjezZp_Ag&t=56s

The scene where she finally sees the unicorn still fucks me up

Whoever's responsible for choosing the needledrops in some of those earlier episodes is my hero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmuSkBqq6lw

This movie is hard for me to watch because I start bawling like a bitch during the opening.

>>149967567
You know, I don’t want to sound like a contrarian, but I have been moved more by KotH than the Simpsons.

>>149966821 (OP)
I cried during the spinel flashback scene in the SU movie

No. No show ever moves me. Nothing ever moves me, really. It sucks. I want you to give me your best examples of this kind of thing, anons.

>>149968940
King of the Hill is a little more grounded and relatable than The Simpsons. KotH almost never does absurdist or fourth wall breaking gags like Simpsons. The only time I've been moved by The Simpsons was at the end of Lisa's First word (when Maggie says her first word), "Do it for her", and the end of the episode with Homer's mom.

I like how respectfully they treated Buckley's death. They didn't mock him, they didn't show his body, he was just gone and Luanne missed him.

>>149969232
I cried at your pic related and at many episodes of Primal.

I know it’s cheating because Futurama but this always kills me now, I first saw this episode on vacation as a kid at a campground my older brother was cracking up because at the same time survivor was airing and it was big but the campground had rules about first come first serve and I signed up for the tv and waited 4 hours to make sure I could watch it and my older bro almost fought someone when they tried to take the remote. Damn I miss him.

>>149969947
Primal never made me cry but the futurama dog episode was peak SOVL
>>149969984
I never had a sibling but this episode always hit hard to me for whatever reason. I think its just the idea of loosing family members keeps me up at night and the main reason why i dont kms is because i dont want to inflict that same pain onto my parents even though im terrified of the day when my dad will die

>>149966821 (OP)
What kinda tree is that

>>149970081
It’s worse if a parent outlives their kid. I’ve seen that grief on 6 different people and nothing hurts as much as that. My dad asked me if he was a good dad at my brother’s funeral it was the saddest and smallest I’ve ever saw the man.

This and the bee episode are 10 out of 10s.

>>149970224
Ah, okay.

>>149969907
I find it interesting that they still included him picking up Luanne on his bike in the intro seasons after his death.

>>149970358
I did not care for the Bee episode, it weirded me out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfEc9J73BO4

I remember really feeling the tension when this first aired. I felt for Brock from start to finish.

>>149970614
It’s ok anon just do us a favor and please wake up.

>>149970081
>I think its just the idea of loosing family members keeps me up at night and the main reason why i dont kms is because i dont want to inflict that same pain onto my parents even though im terrified of the day when my dad will die
You have a good family anon.
Me on the other hand I have a father that makes my blood boil but I can't do anything about it because my mother depends on me and him even though he brings misery to both of us, its better to have two people covering your financial problems than one.

>>149970141
>My dad asked me if he was a good dad at my brother’s funeral
I think about my dad having a minor emotional breakdown when I finally moved out. He started in on wishing he had been a better dad, and I basically said "Shut the fuck up. You were a great dad." Sure, we fought, and more often than necessary because some kind of emotional if not mental issue clearly runs in my dad's family that was starting to come out in him over the years, but I was also 22 and I occasionally pushed buttons on purpose.
Anyway, he's been gone for eight years now. I hope I made it clear to him that he was a good dad.

Luanne has cute feet

>>149966821 (OP)
it is pretty weird that this makes God an actual canon thing in King of the Hill just like in real life

>>149966821 (OP)
yeah

>>149969872
I found the second season of The Simpsons to be it's most grounded and heartfelt. It was still finding its voice, but it improved in leaps and bounds and got away from the corny sentimentalism of Season One. I don't think the show really reached the pathos of moments like Homer trying to live out what he thought would be his last day alive or Bart feeling he was hopeless at school, except for rare occasions (Mother Simpson and Bart Sells His Soul being highlights).

>>149966821 (OP)

Is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?

>>149969872

The Jazz outro/montage at the end of the ep where Bleeding Gums Murphy died was pretty good

>>149966821 (OP)
While undermined a bit by episode 8, V's sacrifice in episode 6 of Murder Drones hit like a truck when it first released. Her backstory plus the music really sells it that she just wants to die and stay dead.

>>149966821 (OP)
Oddly no. I have been moved by comics and anime several times (which is animation but not on topic animation) but the closest I have been to properly moved is probably these Futurama episodes >>149969232 >>149969984 and this >>149972042.
>>149972074
I saw the asspull coming a mile away. I honestly don't know how anyone really thought she was going to die there.

>>149967567
WHY WERE YOU DANCING WITH THOSE GUYS?! WHO WERE THOSE GUYS?! WHY WERE YOU DANCING WITH ALL THOSE GUYS?!?!

>Bart feeling he was hopeless at school
One of the few episodes that showed despite being extremely annoyed with Bart, that Mrs. Krabapple actually did care about him.

>And does it take THIS to make us sea each other? You are no coward my friend, I was wrong to name you. And I was wrong. You did understand war. It was I, who did not. Until now. Child of the kindly west, i have come to know, if more of us value your ways, food and cheer above hoarded gold it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell.

A case of a strong source material to work with but I saw it before I read the book and as we've so learned later on good source material does not automatically make a good movie.

>>149966821 (OP)

I can't believe I almost forgot this one

>>149972186
Pamela Adlon is just TOO good at what she does

This scene always used to get me choked up as a kid but when I rewatched the film after one of my friends died last May it fucked me up. Lore behind this scene's doubly fucked too

Someone mentioned that if they had ever made a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, that she would be the perfect voice for Calvin and I can't unhear it.

Arnold's Christmas

Rango always makes me tear up, during the where he's depressed and walking into traffic.

I remember when I was younger we were made to watch an animated short film about World War 1 from the perspective of a young English soldier who was press ganged into service. In hindsight it was pretty cliché and had a lot of the trappings of classic World War boomer myths, but I still remember that the final scene of the movie is the boy dying in a crater after outliving most of his friends he was listed alongside with while a German soldier bleeds out opposite him. From memory they didn't fully understand what eachother were saying, but they shared photos of past friends and loved ones and both mutually knew the significance of which. It really left an imprint on me as a kid and was one of the first representations of "enemy soldiers are human too" and "our country sends young men to die".

Probably explains my political views today in hindsight.

>>149970141
Im sorry your brother died anon

>>149973554
Fuck, dude. I saw something similar on CBC(?) when I was a kid. I can't remember the concrete details, but it was about this veteran who talked about the first time he shot someone (I think it was World War 2?). It was in black and white and the animation had a sketchy black-and-white look to it. As he explains how he felt on the field, he grasps his head and the camera turns. I recall that it ended to white text on a black background explaining what the veteran did afterwards, but I was too young to really understand it even though I was crying.

I really would love to see it again. It's that I just don't know *where* to find it.

NO.

This beginning of the movie fucked me up when I was very little.

I cried to this scene after I lost a best friend of mine.
