Whether you may or may not want to admit this as a developed grown-up adult, movies that are produced for kids can be as moving as any grown-up movie or romantic comedy. (At the end of the day, I might be a softy, but if movies such as Toy Story 3 didn't have you drop a tear or two, then I'm worried for your soul.)

For goodness' sake, take a moment to think about the number of animated films you've seen that have made you question whether they're really made for children. What better way is there to make ourselves feel less like little emotional infants than to discuss which of these animated films made every one of us cry?

Well, a redditor with the username u/molliegeorgie threw a question to the Reddit community asking: "What animated movie affected you most emotionally and why?" And as you can already guess, they responded in their numbers, and the comments will take you back to an entirely vulnerable spot, so take this as a fair warning before you continue.

Hold on! There are a couple of spoilers here, but in the event that you haven't seen the majority of these movies at some point in your life, what have you really been doing?!

Below is a list of the 25 most fitting responses, just in case you really want to wet your eyes and face a little.
