Did anyone cry when watching this film?

If you cried when watching this film, what sequences made you cry?

Just as most of the other responses here, Bing Bong fading made me cry. If it was any other character in that movie sacrificing himself, although it might have been sad, I probably wouldn't have actually made me tear up. For me, it was the fact that the cheerful, naive Bing Bong represents her childhood and at an even earlier point in the movie still holds onto the belief that they'll "fly to the moon" together. It's the combination of the one scene where Bing Bong is sitting on the edge of the cliff after the wagon is thrown over, lamenting how he had all these plans for them and the final scene where he kind of accepts the fate that his dream won't happen and things need to move on. In a way, I saw Bing Bong's gradual realization that things can't be like they were before and how he allows his naivete and idealism to fade away, as the representation of Riley herself growing up.

Just hearing Michael Giachinno's scores "Tears of Joy" and "Joy turns to sadness, a growing personality" brings tears to my eyes, because how powerful those scenes were.

I was also deeply moved by the introduction (very close to the one in "Up" in my opinion, except it was about childhood only) and by Sadness comforting Bing Bong, among so many other scenes.
There isn't one part of this film I didn't enjoyed or loved, so this is why it got his well-deserved 10 and a place in my top 5.

Real men aren't afraid to cry. Real men aren't afraid to show their emotions or their moments of vulnerability.

I'm 34 and Bing Bongs sacrifice made me think of the plushies I got when I was born. I've lost them and the sudden realisation that I'll never hug them again made me sad as *beep*, we're talking the tears of a child who drops his ice cream. Luckily it hit me that because I got this sad, they're still in my heart and yet not forgotten. But man did I cry.

Not exactly crying, but I got misty-eyed when Bing Bong disappeared.
And reading this thread, I guess I'm not alone.

I nearly crieded but then remembered I'm a man and properly bottled up my emotions. Curiously I can't feel joy either!
