While

Spoiler

Bing Bong's death

is definitely a tear-jerker, it felt obligatory. Riley's breakdown at the end was the genuine emotional moment of the movie.

When I saw it for the first time I didn't cry when

Spoiler

Bing Bong disappeared

; the whole time I was expecting him to pull off a Lotso and betray the other characters, so I didn't grow attached to him. Of course, I felt sad after discovering the truth, but it didn't hit me that bad. The scene just before that

Spoiler

(Joy crying and learning about Sadness' role)

and the final scene you mentioned absolutely destroyed me though, they were amazing. Another part I rarely see mentioned, but that also hit me hard, is when

Spoiler

Fear says "We can't make Riley feel anything", implying she's fallen into a depression.

I was at the cinema with my sister and my 12 year old cousins, but I didn't care. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried like a baby both times. Of course, they will never know that...

The two Inside Out scenes mentioned are not the ones I was thinking of.

Spoiler

Riley crying in front of the class

got me.

Only Pixar? Dreamworks too (and they've delivered, Kung Fu Panda's (2) scene is incredibly beautiful, as the "how to train your dragon" ones are).

why do the recent Disney movies have those reveals? why not just have a strong villain character from the beginning? the last i remember was Mother Gothel, although the bug in WIR had a few moments.

I understand that zootopia has it because of the genre it references, but it was so out of place in frozen.

It does sort of feel like Pixar movies have a forced "emotional roller coaster" feel to me. I mean, it works, but sometimes I don't want to bawl like a bastard at an animated movie.

I certainly felt this way with Inside Out

Spoiler

That Bing Bong scene kinda sucked, but mostly because he was FUCKING ANNOYING AS HELL

Went "oh they want me to be sad right now" and kinda got taken out of the movie.

What's the tearjerker scene in Ratatouille?

The movie itself.

 

[Jedi2016]

If the scene genuinely elicits emotions from me, then I'm okay with it. It's not something you can really force.. you can make a weepy scene all you like, but if the audience doesn't genuinely feel for the characters, then it's all for naught.

For Ratattouille, it was the flashback scene with Ego as a child. Honestly, the only Pixar film that didn't have one is Cars 2.

Highly rated Pixar films in my opinion:
Inside out
Incredibles
Monsters inc
Toy story 1 (at the time) and 2


Ones that never clicked with me and I don't fully get the love:
Toy story 3
Ratatouille
Wall e
To a lesser extent, finding nemo. I kind of get it.

Inside Out destroyed me, but I don't think anything will come close to the Adventure book scene in Up. It's too bad the rest of the movie doesn't hit the same heights.
