@ThanosReXXX Nah, deers are cute and quiet things. I was being silly. It was a bit of a play on them jumping across roads like a mischievous squirrel. Before more houses in my neighborhood went up, I'd have deer wander into the yard at night. They're still in the woods, but everyone's fences don't allow the lawn vacations as much. Still plenty of huge rabbits, though.
I sometimes think the only reason we're only slightly higher on the food chain is because we can build brick walls and shelter to keep the predators out.

@Anti-Matter Oh man, you must REALLY start to reconsider what you post before you post it. I want to give you some friendly advice, and I have a strong feeling that you're not even aware of this, but you're really making it VERY easy for people who want to make fun of you. No adult I know, would ever shed a tear over a simple 2D Disney animation. I also didn't think that fragment was anything particularly tear-jerking. I actually had to laugh a bit, because the bug looks like he is stoned or something.
By the way: 1UP_MARIO already was kind of making fun of you by telling you that you have the same taste as his 8 year old daughter, so responding to that with the comment that you just made, isn't really making things any better for you.

@JackEatsSparrows Something to that extent, yes. That and having lost almost all our body hair and gaining a bit more brain volume, enabling (necessitating) us to come up with other solutions to stay warm and safe...
But never mind me. Typical Monday, I suppose, except I'm still on the pain killers for my broken rib, so
I haven't really been clear minded for quite a while now. I'm actually amazed that I still manage to function in some capacity at all...
What you just described with the squirrel, reminds me of another video which you might enjoy:
@ThanosReXXX
I am kinda melancholy guy, so.... watching beloved character passed away like that can make me start to drop my tears. 😳
I also did the same thing (started to cry) when i watched Bing Bong from Inside Out (Disney Pixar movie) died by disappeared in Memory Dump in order to save Joy but not as oftenly as Ray's death from the Princess and the Frog.
Well, can't say that I didn't try to help, but I give up...
@NEStalgia I never even tried to figure out who he/she was. Didn't even think that was possible for anyone other than moderators and web masters, but I didn't care to do that either, I actually only noticed, after OorWullie pointed it out to someone else, and I started to browse some articles, to see what he was talking about.

@Delibheel Well, maybe I could feel a bit sad over a slightly more "realistic" 3D animated movie, but that fragment was just laughably childish, and nothing that made me feel sad or teary-eyed.
But the larger point I tried to make was him apparently not (actually almost never) getting the message that people are making fun of him, in which case you better just not respond at all, instead of responding like someone said something sincere to you, which wasn't the case here. I tried to point that out in an as friendly manner as I could, but the message definitely isn't reaching its intended destination. Or not as it should, anyway...

Context is everything. You won't get the same emotional reaction from watching just a clip to watching an entire movie.
Kinda like seeing Aerith getting stabbed without having played the game.
It's just an ugly early 3D attempt at shock value for some, and a highly emotional moment for others.
Anyway, I won't touch the other side of your discussion. Just so you know it's not like I'm not reading your whole comment, I just chose not to get involved.
@JackEatsSparrows As an adult? I shed tears over Disney movies when I was a kid, but never as an adult. And I'm actually officially classified as being a highly empathic person, but expressions of me being that, occur more in real life events, or in movies with real actors, not in animations meant for kids.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@Delibheel Yeah, I've seen that being mentioned many, many times over the years, as a real tear-jerker in games. Now, I have to confess that I'm not really a fan of any of the 3D Final Fantasy games, so that's already a thing for me, and I can't connect, context or not, with unrealistic events. Being the empathic person that I am, I don't really need context, to adapt anyone or anything's emotions. I can literally start to feel sad, when I see you being sad, without knowing the reason or the cause. But that doesn't work on me with games and/or simple 2D animations.

Was looking underneath the sofa since it loves to devour my earbuds for some reason, and somehow I managed to find an ancient relic from 2017, it was a...FIDGET SPINNER!
I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!
I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
@SheldonRandoms Fidget spinners are already considered ancient now? My, my, the young'uns of today sure move on faster each year...
@JackEatsSparrows Well, there you go, to that I can relate, as well as to what @ReaderRagfihs said. I was in all kinds of emotional states when watching animation when I was much younger. Back then, it was on the same level as with real life action movies, so whether I saw a He-Man cartoon or a Star Wars or Indiana Jones movie, they were all equally exhilarating (or meaningful) to me, and made me feel like acting out the hero parts, along with my friends, but later on in life, animation and real movies grew further and further apart for me, when
I began to discern the impact and (for me personally) also the importance of real emotions, which are just better conveyed in real life, in my opinion and experience.
That's not to say that I can't enjoy a good animation anymore: I still love to watch anime, and Princess Mononoke is probably one of my all time favorites. Great movie and all, but I don't feel anything nearly as strong as with a movie with actual people in them. Could be just me, though, but that's my view on things, and I can't really do anything about the way I feel about that.
@JackEatsSparrows P.S. You can always lose any game, if the opponent has actual claws...
@Link-Hero I don't have "a stigma against feeling emotional over visuals", but I just don't get the same impact from animation that I get from regular movies. It's really not that complicated. And in my opinion, the example given, of Disney's Frog Princess wasn't sad or tear-inducing at all. In fact, I found it rather childish and simplistic, and as such, I can't seriously relate to that, being a 48 year old man.
And while Disney movies do always contain stuff for adults as well, it is still very clear that the majority of the content is for kids, and rightfully so, but that also means that any emotional charge that they may contain, will never be as heavy or intense as any movie that's more geared towards older youths and adults. And as such,
I personally find it really odd, to put it mildly, that a grown man can cry over that.
@Delibheel Edge? Don't you mean to say "some people are 99% edgy"? Either way, that's not what I am either.
But I already tried to explain myself in the first part of this comment, so hopefully, that should make things clear enough.
