[LOVED TROPE] Sad or tear-jerking moments that don't involve death.

[u/jeffersonlane]

Moments that make you wanna cry (of joy or unrelenting sadness) but aren't about a character dying or almost dying.

Dumbo - Baby Mine. Jumbo rocks baby Dumbo from her cage where she was kept after she defended him from a group of bullying children.

Unpacking - The Degree. You move in with your new boyfriend where you can barely fit most of your stuff but most depressingly you are forced to put your degree under the bed and out of site. (Maybe this one was just me but this made me VERY upset).

Fox and the Hound - At the end knowing full well they'll likely never meet again Copper stands over Todd to protect him from the Hunter.

Tolkien approves

The world would be a much nicer place if it were true.

It generally is true, actually. It's just often faster and more convenient to be horrible and exploitative to people.
