Tear Jerker / The Magician's Nephew

• When Digory meets Aslan for the first time, Digory wishes he could do something to help his mother and breaks down crying. What he doesn't expect is that Aslan has Digory look at him and realize that with all his powers and despite being someone to fear, and being basically an incarnation of God, all the suffering you go through in this world is something we're not meant for and this scene is meant to show that.
  • Lewis' mother fell down with the same sickness so he wrote from experience. Only Lewis had no benevolent Lion nor magic apple to help her.
  • Nor his wife, a few years later.
  • While this scene does double as a bit of Heartwarming, given that Digory has no reason to believe that Aslan knows his mother so personally, it is still kind of sad that even Aslan himself is crying over the situation. Digory even questions who of the two of them is more sad over his mother's illness.
