“‘Cos it wasn’t a damn kids movie.” –Greedy_Sandwich_4777
“The balcony scene is still my favorite scene in any animated feature ever. It’s so fucking gut wrenching not knowing what’s gonna happen afterwards.” –Amk696969
“I think it was just a thing where my family doesn’t approve of my career plan and just seeing that with Miguel hit close to home. He literally almost dies for his dream.”
“I think I was 12 at the time (now 27). Absolutely cried so much. I can’t exactly remember I think the mother gorilla dies. I’ve never watched the movie again to check.”
“I believe I was 6 at the time when I first watched it and my father had just passed away from cancer. That movie really helped me cry. The movie and the music is a true masterpiece.” –susiewashere
“Was going through a similar phase back then and watching it made me wonder if that was actually going on in my head.” –Avoroi
“I was ugly crying as Ian realized that Barley filled the role of father figure all along. Just thinking about how he sacrificed his only chance to meet his father so Barley could gain closure almost makes me tear up all over again.” –EccentricEmu
“The scene where her grandma died and reincarnated into that giant manta ray. And the one where she came to Moana after she failed on the first attempt to restore the heart. Just the line “There is nowhere you could go that I won’t be with you.”
And when Moana confronted Te Ká and she’s barreling down at Moana. The visuals of that scene, the song, the lines ”they have stolen your heart from inside you, but this does not define you” –scenicviewtoinsanity
“Because it is a gut wrenching tragedy, one of the saddest films I have ever seen, regardless of animation or genre. It tells of two Japanese children facing the aftermath of the fire bombing of Kobe near the end of WWII. I didn’t make the connection until just now, and there certainly is no actual connection, but to me as an American the film taught the same lesson as The War Prayer, by Mark Twain.” –silviazbitch
