Heartbreaking and touching movie moments from my childhood

by Marcus on March 9, 2010

This is gonna be spoiler-filled, and hopefully very, very sad if you were a child in the nineties.

Håkon Håkonsen

This is one of those scenes that are just kind of bland today. I loved this movie as a kid and still do, it actually holds up pretty good. It’s a decent Norwegian/American pirate movie, and in this scene Håkon leaves his family to work on a boat for two years. Disney apparently re-shot all Norwegian scenes in English for the international version (which I own), and the Norwegian version is only available in Norway. Meh.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Come on! :’D (go to 5:45 for epic Disney moment)

The Lion King

You knew this was coming. This still gets me going, let’s hope Disney’s resurrection of their old animation style also gives us back the old-school, honest stories.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

This seems so ridiculous and cheesy now, but I cried like a baby when I saw this. Remember, I must’ve been like 12 and James Bond was the coolest guy around (we had the entire collection on VHS).

The NeverEnding Story

This scene gave me the idea to write this entry. Still a very touching scene.

That’s all I could come up with for now. Do you have other suggestions?
