Poll: Pixar's Up... Did you cry?

[CK76]

No, but it left an impact. The characters were very easy to relate to in their nature and lives. I think telling stories with music and images often shows power of cinema.

Here is another example of Pixar (with traditional 2-D animation) telling a sad story in quick (6:40) fashion.

If anyone struggles to understand...

Spoiler

The little girl is sent out to sell matches in the winter. She cannot return until they are sold. No one buys the matches, she dreams of happiness, but dies cold and alone in the snow. Spirit of her dead grandmother appears to take her away in death.

Like a girl. The only other movie that has made me sob so much was Amelie (the scene in which she helps a blind man cross the road). Are there any other films out there that makes you cry?

 

[justhereforthemoney]

The opening montage (if that's what you would call it) would be the most likely cause, I certainly teared up and my girlfriend cried the second time too. Frankly, if you're not moved by that sequence then you might be playing too many video games! It was tragic. If not then, perhaps when Carl finds Ellie's adventure book at the end.

I just thought this would be a good place to ask this question, as people generally consider gamers to be desensitised to such things!

You cried in front of/with your girlfriend? Damn thats points for you.

 

[Acier]

I cried 3 times.

Don't judge me!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

No, but close. It was probably one of the saddest movies I've ever seen in my life. I'm so glad that Up came out after Wall-E because it showed me that Pixar still had some talent, even though Wall-E wasn't very good.

Jesus Christ there's a lot of BAWWWW in here, most of which doesn't appear to have anything to do with the topic.

 

[FROGGEman2]

I thought it was sad, but didn't cry.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I was moved, but I never came close to crying, so I don't know which choice to pick...
I just kind of smiled to myself, because I thought it was very sweet. but I need to know a character for a while before I cry over tragedy that hits them. I cried like a baby in that one scene in "Iron Giant" you know which one I'm talking about... *stares accusingly*
(BTW: If you haven't seen The Iron Giant, you really should.)

 

[Erana]

A lot of bad things were happening for me and my mother when it came out, so we figured a movie called Up! would make us happy.
Well, you see, I should have been someone's big sister....

 

[bioshockedcriticjrr]

I was thiiiiiiiis close to crying at that beginning scene, but managed not to

 

[Shapsters]

I was damn close, damn close!

But I didn't cry, so far the only movie that I have ever really cried at was My Dog Skip, I have been close in many movies but never really bawled like I did in My Do Skip.

Up was an awesome movie, although I haven't watch it a second time... I should rent it on Blu-Ray

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

No I never cry omg babies only cry. After I watched it I went home and split wood while lifting weights all night. I'm too manly to cry. FOOTBALL!!

I cried, it's something about old lonely sad old people I think.

 

[PrinceoN]

SQUIRREL!

But OT, I came really close the first time during the opening, not so much at the opening of the book though...

 

[That's Funny]

No, I almost laughed at that part, I really didn't know why.

 

[PrinceoN]

Only one thing has ever been able to make a substance other than testosterone leave my tear ducts.
Prime, you can't die! *Sob*

ZOMG SPOILERS????? YOU RUINED TRANSFORMERS FOR ME NOW!

 

[mr-fix_it]

no I did not cry but to be fair I don't rememberer the last time I cried, not when my grand pa died or when I got my heart broken for the first (I also have it really hard to fall in love,it has only happened once) .

so i guess that means i'm dead, cremated, buried and forgotten on the inside?

 

[GrinningManiac]

I told myself not to, damnit!

I knew that if I let myself tear up, I'd begin shaking and sniffiling

So I managed not to

But DAMN if it wasn't the most moving thing I have ever seen. Even in real life

 

[Joa_Belgium]

That montage did make me very misty-eyed. This is why I love Pixar infinitely.

 

[ffxfriek]

no i didnt cry during that movie. i have never cried during any movie

 

[Jark212]

Only the first time I saw it, every other time sense I get really misty eyed...
