what animal movies make you cry?

A few if them but the worst has to be Hachi, about a dog who waits for his owner at the rail way station for years even after the owner had died. It's a real tear jerker!!
 
I cry at almost all animal films- watched marley and me in cinema blubed like a little girl except the kids in there weren't crying. yet to brave war horse!
Smudge- hachi is a beautiful film and i also cried multiple times throughout.
My mum is the worst she cried at babe the sheep pig!
 
Black Beauty - nearly every scene
Homeward Bound - can't watch when the old dog can't get out of the ditch!
Marley & Me - even the book nearly made me cry. Nearly had to have a Joey from Friends moment and put it in the freezer
American Tail! - when he gets reunited with his dad

Someone mentioned Watership Down - I watched this when I was little but can't remember it. All I can see is some kind of battle scene with lots of red? Maybe I was so traumatised I blocked it from my memory
 
Just about the only animal film I didn't cry at was War Horse! I avoided Marley and Me for years, but watched it when it was on the tv a couple of years ago. I had a GSD who was coming to the end of her days then, and I sobbed throughout the film but it helped me make the decision to have her pts, if that makes sense. I doubt I will ever watch the film again.:(
I took my daughter to see the Lion King not long after my dad had died, we were both in floods of tears when Simba's father dies, and I was the same when I saw the stage show a couple of years ago.
I am a total coward and don't watch films that everyone says are sad (Hachi is one I am steering clear of).
 
Black Beauty,where he see's Ginger again at the cab stand,then she goes past on a cart,and where Joe finds him again at the sales,gets me everytime.
War Horse.
Lassie Come Home,the original version with Roddy MacDowel and Elizabeth Taylor.
The Incredible Journey,origional version.
Bambi.
 
What about PHARLAP? I used to watch this all of the time when I was a kid - I almost wore the tape out!

I cry more now when I watch it - at the end when he pulls up after his last race and his trainer goes running to him on the track and throws his arms around him in slow motion and it comes up on the screen 'in loving memory of Pharlap' OMG!! Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

LOL!
 
Hachi is ridiculously sad - my whole family was sobbing. Pretty much every animal movie makes me cry though.

Homeward Bound, even though I know Shadow is going to come running at the end
Dumbo, when the mummy elephant is cradling him through the bars of her cage
The Fox and the Hound
Lady and the Tramp, with all those puppies in the pound with tears running down their cheeks
Black Beauty, of course
Hidalgo
The Horse Whisperer
 
Just the introduction at the beginning of Champions with the music and the slow motion galloping gives me huge lump in my throat.

Can't even think about Watership down
Black beauty
Strangely enough 'Beaches' with Bette Midler. Its after her best friend has died and she's talking to her daughter who is going to live with her and she tearfully asks if she can bring her cat - i was fine until then!
 
homeward bound....every time :( lol. My parents stopped letting me watch it when i was little cos i spent the rest of the day in tears asking "are the poor animals going to die or will they come home"!!!
 
I also recommend a lovely lovely recent film called red dog, it is an Australian independent film and was out at the cinema a few months ago, that had me sobbing and was surprised how good it was, and has got some handsome men in too :-)
 
Off the top of my head:
Plague Dogs
and a scene from a film called Waltz With Bashir which concerns Arab horses
 
I avoid animal films if i know they are sad (or for that mater people films if they are sad), i watched all the Green Mile once & wont again, brilliant film but the end is so sad :(
 
Black Beauty, when you see Ginger Sniff sniff
Horse Whisperer
Seabiscuit
Eight Below
Lion King
Marley and Me
Only cried at War Horse the first time I watched it but was fine the second time I seen it...
 
The Fox and the Hound was inspired by The Ballad of the Bellstone Fox. I can watch neither without blubbing.

I can't get past pg 2 in Warhorse without crying, so I don't think I will be anywhere near the film any time soon.

But any horse story will have me in tears, even with a happy ending.
 
Marley & Me ruins my life. It's the bit up on the hill where he's talking to him.. oh god.

Homeward Bound, the last 15 minutes of it. Sob every time.
 
I was an absolute wreck when i watched Haachi:a dogs tale. The story and his loyalty to his owner just broke me! Especially being based on a true story.
I pretty much cry at any sad film tbh, animal related or not!
 
Remembered another one!

Turner and Hooch, with Tom Hanks in it. Old 80s film!

I remember watching this when I was younger but completely forgot the dog gets shot and dies! (sorry, spoiler alert!). It was on TV one afternoon and I was crying! Must have blocked that part from my memory for being too distressing.
 
I watched "Buck" last night - its a documentary type horse whisperer film as opposed to a proper film, but wow is it sad when he comes across a very agressive horse at a clinic - even he cant sort the horse, so it went off to be PTS. Really really sad especially as he said it was purely caused by his owner (which he told her) :( I cried and I never do!
 
Black Beauty, when i read the book I cried buckets, then watched the movie and cried even more.
Couldn't even watch all of Seabiscuit, I was crying so much. Lion king makes me cry every time. Have not even watched War horse, as i read the book and i knew i would be crying watching the movie! :)
 
Lady and the tramp- is this weird? I was on the verge of tears running down my face at the bit where they drag tramp away and then so so sad when is it old rusty gets run over by the trailer. :(

I didn't cry at Marley and me, wasn't impressed by the film. Cried so much at the book though!

Homeward bound where they leave the golden retriever behind but then he emerges over the hill.
 
All of them. Have avoided War Horse and Sea Biscuit for this very reason.

When I was a kid in the early 80s my parents got our first video player. Off we went to the video shop to look for a treat for a Sunday night and were recommended Dot and the Red Kangaroo... I cried for a week, had to have 2 days off school I was so inconsolable and had to sleep in with my mum, with my dad sleeping on the bottom bunk in mine and my sister's room. Dad got our money back and a promise they would warn other parents how upsetting it was. :eek:

I'm not much better now :o
