Therez so many…& I have a horrible time choosing 1 fav of anything, but… La Planete Sauvage / Fantastic Planet, Yellow Submarine, Allegro Non Troppo… Crying? Interesting… as a parent, I ALWAYS tear up at the beginning of Finding Nemo. When I was not a parent w that film, I always thot that beginning was only sentimental… not moving… Other crying modern? Inside Out when Bing Bong disappears, the beginnings of Wall-E & Up!…
