There is a new sheriff in town, as Bonnie chooses Jessie to take on that role. Toy Story 4 ends with Woody leaving his child behind to live a life with Bo Peep in a traveling carnival.

The emotional scene is followed by a heart-melting happy-ending montage set to the song "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. This beloved Disney film tells the story of a lion named Simba who is next in line for his father Mufasa's throne. As the cub prepares for his role as the next king, his jealous Uncle Scar plans to get rid of both lions and seize the kingdom for himself.

Although Mufasa successfully gets Simba to safety, he struggles to climb out of the gorge and begs his brother to help him. When the dust clears and Simba rushes to his father's lifeless body, he cries out for help, but it's already too late — the King is dead. And that's not even the worst part.
In addition to betraying Mufasa, Scar gaslights Simba into believing that he was responsible for Mufasa's death. While Simba cries and curls up under his father's paw, Scar reappears and tells the cub if it weren't for Simba's actions, he'd still be around.

In Pixar's "Monsters, Inc. They form an unlikely bond with the little girl despite the fact that they'd been trained to scare children to harness energy for Monstropolis. After several huge twists — including the fact that Waternoose, the owner of Monsters Incorporated, is a villain who values his own success over the lives of his employees — Sully returns Boo safely to her room.

I have been lucky enough to see all four Toy Story movies in the theater. I was in the second grade when I saw the first film with my childhood best friend, with my older brother for the second installment, sitting among my college buddies for the third movie, and with my wife and oldest child for the fourth entry.
All that being said, I had a suitcase of emotional baggage going into Toy Story 4 , and I knew I was going to be a mess. Over the years, I've lost touch with those friends, don't see my brother as much as I'd like, but watching Woody and Buzz Lightyear say " To infinity and beyond " as they go in two different directions allowed me to realize that sometimes people drift apart and that's okay.
I still get misty eyed thinking about the adventures that Woody and Buzz had over the years, mostly because it allows me think about the good times I shared with the people I love.
Up is one of those movies that is mostly remembered for its opening scene. Over the course of the film's first 10 minutes, we watch as a young Carl Fredericksen Ed Asner meets a girl named Ellie, falls in love with her, marries her, renovates their childhood clubhouse into a home of their own, and grow old together. And just before Carl and Ellie are about to fulfill their lifelong dream of visiting Paradise Falls, Ellie falls ill and dies. The movie could have ended there and categorized as one of Pixar's phenomenal short films that play before the studio's animated features, but no, it continues to push forward like Carl to see his dream through and visit the mysterious Paradise Falls.
The opening montage is an emotional rollercoaster that rips your heard in two, but by the time Carl reaches his dream, our worn and tattered hearts are sewn back together. In addition to making us cry from sadness, Up also gives us the opportunity to cry because we're happy for once.
I first saw Coco when I was still getting over the death of my dearly beloved grandmother, so I was a wreck once I realized what the movie was about. At first, I thought it was just going to be another fun and fantastical Pixar film, but as the story progressed, I realized that I was mistaken. The film follows Miguel, a year-old musician who has to hide his guitar from his family due to his family believing that his great-great-grandfather, a musician, abandoned his family many years ago.
The scene where Coco remembers her long-lost father gets me every single time. Centered around a single father on an epic underwater adventure to rescue his son who has been captured and taken as a pet, this film is all about the hell parents will go through in order to protect their children.
The scene where Marlin loses Nemo in the beginning is always harrowing, but their eventual reunion at the end of the movie just brings it out me with each viewing.
But it really wasn't until I was a parent myself that I began to feel the pain of losing a child and the absolute joy of being reunited with them. Other movies on the list really pulled on my heartstrings, but nothing has ever affected me the way Toy Story 3 did when I first saw it opening night in
