Poll: Where did you Cry in Toy Story 3?

[Couch Radish]

The end of the movie with Andy's last wave. I tried holding a steely resolve, but it failed.

[Oh god, I've just realised that Tom Hanks was in three of those films in the other thread...that man is some kind of Emotional Wizard]

He's a comedian, they can always pick the best scripts.

On topic:

The very literal (and really quite scary) descent into Hell in the junkyard had me well and truly welling up. I think if the film had ended there I would have cried like a baby.

Luckily, LGMS!

There's a suspicion by some that the toys did in fact die in the incinerator but their saving scene was their reward, and moving on to a new owner was their heaven.

I got misty at the incinerator scene, when they accept death and face it together. Powerful stuff. Never actually cried though.

The only film (animooted or otherwise) that has actually made me cry was Grave of the Fireflies.

This. To the letter. It's like you've installed cameras in my house and have watched my every move since childhood just to learn the exact thing to say to freak me out with a startling random coincidence.

>_>

You didn't, did you?

 

[Toriver]

I can still claim truthfully that no movie has ever made me cry, but this one came close on two occasions: the incinerator scene (had they not made it, I would have cried) and Andy's final parting with Woody and Buzz. Though the second instance almost had me crying tears of joy at the nostalgia of my own childhood playtime and the overall happy ending for everyone involved.

Well done, Pixar. Well done.

The incinerator scene was intensely emotional, but I felt as much sadness as surprise and dread, so it didn't really mame me cry. The ending, on the other hand, as Andy was saying goodbye to Woody... oh, the tears. Incredible movie.

EDIT: Also, was I the only one who got chills at the beginning as the old footage of Andy as a kid started distorting and fading out and the song left on "our friendship will never die"? That was an ominously impacting opening if I've ever seen one.

EDIT #2: All of you saying you never cry in anything, watch Clannad. I don't care how hardcore you think you are, that show will break you down. You will cry in it, you will cry after it, you will cry when you hear its soundtrack, and you will cry more often in movies and shows you watch and games you play after it. It will break you. Watch it.

Crying for fiction is too much irrational for me to do it.



Now more seriously I have doubts: When people mention crying do they mean real crying with tears? Just becoming emotional? Or the eyes feeling weird but no actual tears fall down?

About the topic, didn't cried at any time, I didn't think Toy Story 3 was that sad. The saddest thing was having the conscience that time passes.

Depends on the person and the situation; some people use the word "cry" very liberally (like to describe the water in your eyes after a big yawn), and others only say "cry" if tears were running down their face and even more crap was coming out of their nose. Most are between those two extremes.

But it also depends on the situation. My eyes welled up in Toy Story 3 and I got choked up; no tears streaking down the face. Clannad, on the other hand, there were actual tears multiple times and it affected my disposition from the most traumatic episode all the way until I finished the show (my sister kept interrupting me to take her places and such; it was terrible). But both got to me emotionally on a very deep level, so I just consider both of them to be crying. I didn't used to use the word this liberally, but after watching Clannad I had to accept that crying is still manly and I just had to fess up to it.

EDIT: Also, I dare you to watch Clannad and still say that. Seriously.

Dude where is the "all of the above" option? because I totally lost it at at least the incinerator, the final wave, and the entire "passing of the toys" scene at the end. Having grown up more or less right alongside Andy, I was perfectly placed to be emotionally devastated by this movie. You're either made of stone or just a shitty person if you didn't want to cry more than once during Toy Story 3.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

I didn't full-on cry myself, but goddammit the incinerator scene remains one of the few instances where I nearly started crying my eyes out in a movie theater. Easily one of the most powerful scenes I have ever witnessed in a movie in recent memory.

 

[Lizardon]

I got all choked up around the end, never cried though. I really hope they don't make another because that ending was perfect.

 

[brinvixen]

Pfft. Couldn't vote. Because the entire last twenty or so minutes of the movie had me blubbering. Those last few touching scenes were crafted so well. For example, as Andy is pulling his toys out of the box to give to Bonnie, when he pulls Woody, just as Bonnie is reaching for Woody, Andy pulls him back. And they have that split second gasp of shock on both their parts. And its SO effective.

As in, the first time I watched Toy Story 3, I left the movie theater with the collar of my shirt soaking wet. I was crying that much. And I'm not even embarrassed. It's a testament to the good film-making. Toy Story 3 for the win.

 

[rutcommapat]

None, I just felt annoyed it was a rehash of Toy Story 2 but not as interesting. It had a good ending though, that's the only time the nostalgia hit me but the cliches made me less emotionally invested in the events and therefore not cry.

Take my view with a grain of salt, because I haven't liked most of Pixar's recent efforts (Wall-E, Up, Cars, Cars 2, Toy Story 3).

There's no shame in not liking Cars 2.

OT: I didn't cry at all, and frankly I found Andy to be a complete pussy. Seriously, does anyone else think he's going to get his ass kicked when he goes to college?

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I didn't cry but that incinerator scene was rough!

 

[RadientRin]

Oh I cried, cried, and cried. Not too loudly, but I had a stream of tears flowing out of my eyes throughout the movie. Every one of those scenes made me tear up. I remember I watched the first toy story about hundred times when I was 8 years old. I was still very young when the second one came out. I was overjoyed when I heard news of the third one. I'm a grown adult now but I can still enjoy all the movies. Toy story movies hold a special place in my heart.

 

[Starik20X6]

I got all misty eyed at the incinerator, but the floodgates broke at the last playtime. I personally feel that if you didn't get any emotional reaction from Toy Story 3, you either lack a childhood, a soul, or both.

 

[aba1]

It had like one sad moment I really thought it was going to be alot sadder than it was to be honest. I don't see why people were crying when Merry died in One Piece was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sader anybody who has read or watched this knows what I am talking about.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

I really tried to hold it in. It worked past all those scenes, gradually deteriorating, until the final wave where Andy drove off and the camera shifted upwards towards the sky...and to the clouds shaped exactly like the ones in Andy's room.

Then the music and nostalgia kicked in. And I lost it.

I applaud you, PIXAR.

 

[aidutcher]

I watched it with my girlfriend and neither of us cried. There were definitely some emotional parts, but it didn't seem as sad as everyone was saying it is.

 

[CryptoKeyblade]

all of them except for lotso's story and bopeep, but andys last playtime the most *sniffle* now you got me started again *leaves to bawl*
