I've seen my fair share of films and I haven't once been moved enough to cry during a particular scene but I done so for the first time last week.

I don't know what the strangest aspect was in this...the fact the tears happened within the first ten minutes of the film starting or the fact the film was basically a cartoon.

The film was "up" and the first ten minutes blew me away.

Sure there was talking dogs and all that during the film but that's for the kids and it's credit to the film-makers that the adults are looking for bits at the end that make sense and tie in with the build-up that the opening scenes got.
I watched it expecting nothing but christ after the opening scenes I wanted to watch the film to the end and I was willing this old guy, who I felt I knew, to fulfill his dreams. The fact the kids enjoyed it was a bonus.

I'll have it as one of the best films created in any form. Absolute genius.
I actually cry at all films, sad or not. 'Up' took it to a different level though - I sobbed pretty much all of the way through it. Towards the end, I was just about recovering. Until Kevin got his badge......At one point during the film, my daughter (6 at the time) told me that we could leave if I was finding it too hard.

I had heard that 'Toy Story 3' had its moments, so I went reluctantly, and prepared. We got past the impending doom bit with the furnace, and I was priding myself on having shed not one tear. Foolishly let my guard down.......because that wasn't it.
