I'm a grown man of 30 and the ending made me cry!
Anyone else share a similar experience?
Me too, although, well, I'm a girl, so...I guess it's probably not as big a deal. But also I was going into my second year of college, and now I'm out of my parents' house for the first time, so it still makes me cry just because I can relate to leaving, moving on, growing up, etc.
shareDude, I sob like a baby when I see that ending everytime. Reminds me of childhood so much.
-*-
I have spoken.
Yup I watched it last night for the first time - and I am almost 40 and I cried hysterically - almost went thru a box of tissues - and it made me think of my childhood toys - I had a snoopy dog growing up a life sized one - and I loved that dog until the stuffing and one of his eyes were missing - i was 5/6 years old - and my mom threw it away when it got so raggity I was so sad and mad :( Anyway loved this movie!
shareI remembered all my He-Man toys. I was sobbing uncontrollably.
-*-
I have spoken.
I just watched it like two hours ago, and while I did not cry, I started having trouble breathing when Andy "gasps" at the sight of Bonnie waving Woody's arm, and by the time Woody says, "So long... Partner," I felt like my chest was being squeezed by something to the point of hyper-ventilating/asthma-attack. Now, I only have that kind of problem when I have to leave someone and know that I will not be seeing him or her for a very long time, if not ever - especially if I never really got to know that person very well. (Also happens with good games/movies/anime when I really wish at the end that I got to spend more time with the characters.)
I'm 19 currently, but this movie did come out like a week after I graduated high school, when I had the mixed emotions of having to leave behind a friend with whom I never got to really develop a strong friendship (my, I'm kinda glad I didn't know this movie then - I would have fainted from crying), and going back to Korea. Rather than reminding me much about my childhood, it made me reflect once again upon the idea of "saying goodbye" and "leaving things/people behind." And it has moved me so much as to forcing me to share my experience on a forum like this :')
Btw, I usually don't really cry from movies, not even The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - not counting emotional video clips online. I did cry at the ending of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky, though XP
Oh, I forgot to add - though I had watched both the first and second movies many times, I was never head over heels for them. I just watched them like any other movie.
shareI watched it last night. I forgot to grab tissues, so I used my Buzz Lightyear plush from the Disney store to wipe away my tears. Haha
But LORD, for some reason, the waterworks start when they are in the dump truck, and (spanish) Buzz can't find Jessie. It just breaks my heart. And then when they are trying to climb out of the incinerator.... look at that, I'm crying just thinking about it. And I can remember being in my school gym locker room and thinking about when Andy's mom said "I just wish I could always be with you" or something, and Woody looks at the picture of himself & the other toys.... and bursting into tears. Thankfully, I was alone. But damn, this movie really knows how to make us cry, no doubt. I absolutely love the first 2, as well.
I'm sure the ending made a lot of people cry. It made my mom cry.
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.... July 20th, 2012!!
Made me cry too. I think everyone in the theater I was in that night shed a tear.
shareSaw it on Cable tonight and cried when Andy was playing with toys. It brought back memories of when I was kid. I used to drive my Mom crazy because I had toys all over the house and in the yard (Hey, I had epic adventures that were too big for just one room!)
shareDid anyone else get a bit kaflempt at the end of this movie?
Hell yes. So happy, and so sad at the same time.
The end of a story line.
The end of a generation.
The end of 2 decades of excellence.
I felt like “we” were the ones being left behind.
Pixar rocks!
only got emotional when the toys were going to get burned, i thought the ending was happy :)
