Up! and down fall the tears

E.T. didn't phase me as a kid. When Rose let go of Jack in Titanic, nothing.   So I go see a kids movie this weekend, and not only do I bawl once... but the water works open up twice!?

What movie could possibly cause such emotional distress?  Up!  The new animated movie from Pixar. The movie gets you right in the beginning with a great 4 minute love story with no dialog that begins with the couple meet during childhood with a promise to move an old abandoned house which they used as a clubhouse to Paradise Falls one day, and throughout their life, they try and try, and finally when they are able to go, the wife gets sick and dies. ...and like rain..."Bwahhhhh! Why does she have to die!" It was sad, but a great set up story for the rest of the movie. The old man goes it alone and decides he'd rather escape and make a run for Paradise Falls than to go to some retirement home. So he attempts to move the old clubhouse, which is now their home with balloons! When he makes it to the falls my water falls opened up again!  It's a great movie, but be warned manly men!

I'm such a big wuss!   I'm not so sure why it touched me the way it did.  Thank goodness the 3D glasses hid my wimpy disposition that afternoon. I was so embarrassed, I didn't even tell my wife after the movie.
