The reunion scene between Dumbo and Mama Elephant in the original animated film never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
The ending of every dog movie where the kid feels sad and goes outside and hears a distant bark in the distance, squints out into the woods and see the dog emerge over the horizon. As hackneyed as a frantic run through an airport or a shootout in a warehouse. and you know its coming ten miles away but I still well up like a sap every. single. time. Even Snoopy Come Home had a variation on this where Woodstock is whistling their little ease on down the road tune while flipping down the bird bath and then he hears Snoopy whistling his part. I am always reminded of this during the Come What May finale in Moulin Rouge which I feels plays out identically, and if I am a few beers in when either movie swells I am a puddle of tears and joy. Until….The….End….Of……….time.
