My Lion King Forum

I didn't cry when I was a kid. I felt bad for Simba, but I guess death didn't really hit me that much. When you're young, you tend to think yourself and those around you immortal, especially if you are raised (as I was) fairly sheltered from death.

Now that I'm older ... I skip that part over because otherwise I cry every time. :p

Another sad scene (for me) is Mufasa's ghost coming back. I've never cried at it, I just get rather depressed. I wish Simba had shown a teeny bit more emotion after all that, but oh well. :3 It's still a really powerful scene.

I did NOT cry the most recent time I watched it, but I did the time before. It was so cute in a melancholy way: Simba trying to wake Mufasa up, hes in denial. just so sad!

And I hate the scene where he comes back and sees the PrideLands in ruins-yes, I am an emotional person. I'm sorry, but I'm no worse or better of a person for being so.

[quote="Tacobell Lion"]My friends and i actually ALMOST teared up a bit when Mufasa died and Simba was trying to wake him up.

The funny thing is that it was earlier this year. [/quote]
Me too

I was 8 when I saw the movie at the cinema for the first time, and because I was so young at the time, I can`t remember if I cried. I kinda doubt it.. I have cried later (I have shed a few tears, but not sat there and sobbed) it is one of (if not THE) saddest scenes in Disney history.

I am an emotional wreck when it comes to sad scenes in movies. The majority of those scenes that have me crying like a baby are all Disney, funnily enough.

That scene where Simba loses his father gets me every single time, as do the scenes in which Bambi and Littlefoot lose their mothers.

I never did. I first saw the movie when I was pretty young, and I don't think I was fully aware of the full emotional scope of the scene then. By the time I got old enough to fully appreciate it, I knew what was coming which somewhat blunted the impact. Of course, it should be noted that I'm not an overly emotional person and I've never actually shed a tear watching a movie (although I've come close a couple of times).

That was the only movie I cried during, I cried reading two books though...

I shed some tears at the beginning, but later I got used to it. Oh, well.

Now, I do not cry, but I get nervous every time, and feel terribly sad... especially, because I love Mufasa and I truly wish he appeared more. Also, I feel horrible for Simba begging his father to get up
