Question

Im a pretty tough person. I don't get emotional a lot. but for some reason. I can't get through the lion king without crying. Please tell me there are others out there who have a movie that brings the baby out of them.

Answer 1

the lion king is like 1 out of 3 movies that has ever made me cry. I don't know why but when his dad dies its just so sad. I remember seeing that movie when i was little and i got embarassed cause it was the fist movie to ever make me cry. And i, like you am i pretty tough person. I guess its normal

Answer 2

Because on the previous life you were a female lion

Answer 3

aw I cry when I watch lion king too :) especially when simba and mufasa are staring up at the sky and hes telling him hes going to die one day ! so sweet. i cry at everything though, haha i'm a very emotional person. you might have identified strongly with one of the themes in the movie, loyalty, separation, independence, something like that? a part of the movie might have resonated strongly with you because its similar to something you experience/d in real life. anyway I don't think there's anything wrong with crying over the lion king, shows you have a heart :)

Answer 4

The movie tugs at all of us that believe that the universe is, in the end, fair and just. We cry, cause we know this aint true

Answer 5

Cause deeply you're a very sensible person although you don't want to recognize it.
