Sometimes I cry, but I usually don't because I've seen the movie too many times.
I will admit though it is gut wrenching to see Simba find his beloved father the way he did, and try to get him up. It gets harder to watch when Simba realizes that something is wrong with his father and tries in vain to get help, only to find that he is all alone in the gorge with his dead father. The melancholy score playing in the background as Simba cries as he makes his way back to his father doesn't help either.
I can't imagine a young child going through something similar in real life. Not by a wildebeest stampede of course, but losing your father or any close family at such a young age under such terrible circumstances.
