History TearJerker / LiloAndStitch

* [[spoiler:[[TheMenInBlack Cobra]] [[ScaryBlackMan Bubbles]] seems a lot less funny when he comes to take Lilo away. Even worse is Nani's slow, horrible realization that she can't stop him, and Lilo's [[ChildrenAreInnocent total incomprehension]] of what's going on.]]
** [[spoiler:That and the fact that Bubbles truly seems sorry for what he has to do and does genuinely care about Lilo's well-being.]]
* [[spoiler:Later on, when Lilo is kidnapped by Gantu and Jumba and Pleakly have refused to help, Nani crumples heart-breakingly, truly believing she'll never see her baby sister again.]]
** And just before that, [[spoiler:she happened upon Jumba and Pleakly arresting Stitch, and asks them about her little sister. When they start playing dumb, Nani gets furious at them, and her voiced frustration is rather heartbreaking to listen to.]]

* [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]], but this troper just about burst into tears at the exchange between Lilo and Stitch when [[spoiler:Stitch comes to save Lilo after she is taken by Gantu.]] Lilo, still trapped in the pod, pleads with Stitch not to leave her, and Stitch sounds so heartbroken when he whimpers, "Okay."
** [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome And then, when he spots the gasoline truck approaching, he repeats it in a much more determined tone]].

* But what gets this troper the most, above any other scene in the movie, is when Nani and Lilo sit in a hammock in the backyard; Nani is looking for a way to possibly tell Lilo goodbye without alarming her or making it seem like they'll be forever separated, but Nani can't articulate the message through all her pain and sadness. So she sings the most beautiful, depressing rendition of ''Aloha Oe'' and...
** Oh God, THIS. There aren't too many Disney movies that get to this troper like this, but this scene makes her tear up just thinking about it. Damn it, I'm crying again.
* Not nearly as bad as the example above, but in the beginning when Nani and Lilo are making up after their fight, when Lilo says "I like you better as a sister than a mom," then starts to cry (the only time I remember her crying, incidentally) and asks, "And you like me better as a sister than a rabbit, right?" It was so perfect because it's SO what a little kid would say -- not very articulate, not even making much sense, just so terrified that her sister really doesn't want her.
* Nani and Lilo's relationship has always reminded me of my oldest sister's and my relationship, she being much older than me and always being a stressed but kind hybrid of a teen and an adult trying to handle a temperamental, odd little girl. Thus, any of the strong Nani and Lilo scenes (especially the backyard scene) make me feel for them as if they were my sister and me.

* The montage set to ElvisPresley singing "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".

* Pretty much the entire ''Reunion with Lilo'' episode.
** Oh man, this troper made the awful mistake of watching that episode in computer class. The [[spoiler: flashback scenes of the original movies]] had me tearing up but then comes the real tearjerker scene. [[spoiler: Basically, after waiting in vain for Lilo to appear at the beach like they had promised, Stitch thinks Lilo abandoned him so he grabs the tiki necklace from the third movie, hangs it on a tree and leaves the island on Jumba's ship. The sobbing hasn't even begun, though, because there's nothing more heartbreaking than seeing Lilo running towards the beach, finding nothing but the necklace and then hold it against her chest before screaming his name and falling to her knees, sobbing histerically]]. That single scene is enough to make you sob for the rest of the day.
* Actually, the whole idea that Lilo and Stitch aren't together anymore is enough to make you cry.

* [[spoiler:[[{{MIB}} Cobra]] [[ScaryBlackMan Bubbles]] seems a lot less funny when he comes to take Lilo away. Even worse is Nani's slow, horrible realization that she can't stop him, and Lilo's [[ChildrenAreInnocent total incomprehension]] of what's going on.]]

* [[spoiler:[[MenInBlack Cobra]] [[ScaryBlackMan Bubbles]] seems a lot less funny when he comes to take Lilo away. Even worse is Nani's slow, horrible realization that she can't stop him, and Lilo's [[ChildrenAreInnocent total incomprehension]] of what's going on.]]

** It's not even just what she says, but the matter-of-fact way she says it. This girl, who can't be more than four or five years old, has dealt with so much loss that it's become almost a normal occurrence to her.

* Tears were shed during the "Aloha 'Oe" part of ''LiloAndStitch'' on the night when Nani and Lilo were talking about family for what could have been the last time as Lilo was to be taken into child custody soon.

** --> '''Lilo: What's wrong with you?!?'''

--> '''Lilo: Pudge was part of our family! You don't ''let'' your family ''die!'' You don't ''EVER!!!''
Guh...

!!''{{Stitch}}!''

-->'''Lilo:''' It's little and broken but you can be a part of it. You can be our baby and we'll raise you to be good. But if you want to leave... you can. I'll remember you though. I remember everyone who leaves.

-->'''Lilo:''' Or you can stay with us. We'll be a family, and you'll be our baby. But it's okay if you want to leave. But I'll remember you. I remember everyone who leaves.

--> '''Stitch''': I'm lost.
** "Lost" translates into hawaiin as "Lilo". In a way, It's almost like he's calling out for her.

-->'''Lilo''': Or you can stay with us. We'll be a family, and you'll be our baby. But it's ok if you want to leave. But I'll remember you. I remember everyone who leaves.
