Faye is depressing, but man alive is she hot.

A more serious question about **Cowboy Bebop** , is the series a flashback with the final 2 episodes representing now (or the begining)?

For me, it’s got to be Felix The Cat. Keep in mind that my crying was caused by physical discomfort. You see, while watching, I’d laugh so hard, my sides would ache, and my heart would go fiddle-fad. That is, when I was watching Felix, the wonderful cat.

I feel like an idiot because it took me a full thirty seconds to figure out what the hell you were talking about. 😃 Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking of too. Man, I’m getting choked up just thinking about it… wanna start a Trigun appreciation thread so we can talk freely about this spoiler?

Has anyone here seen the old Little Mermaid? It must be at least twenty years old now. It looked Japanese, and unlike the Disney version, it followed the story more faithfully (she turns to sea foam). I bawled like a baby. In my defense, I was ten.

I’ll add votes for Dumbo and Iron Giant. I also get misty in Aladdin when Aladdin gives his bread to the two little beggar children going through the garbage for food. Ahem.

Hmm. My post is reviving long-suppressed memories of The Little Matchstick Girl. Great. Does anybody have any Zoloft?

In **A Charlie Brown Christmas Special** when Linus explains to Charlie Brown the meaning of Christmas on a spot-lit stage holding his blanket. Gets me every time.  
Also, **Jet Black** , thanks for mentioning Kimba, the White Lion. For years I’ve been trying to remember the cartoon we used to watch in the gym sometimes in elementary school. It was one of those vague memories that I never get a good hold on. Another childhood mystery solved!

When Charlotte dies in Charlotte’s Web (oops, sorry, spoiler) I cry every time. Just as others have mentioned.

Another vote for Iron Giant. Good lord, I bawl like a baby.
