Your 8 year cried seeing this movie, serously? You need to man-up your children, because you have raised them too delicately! Either that or they'll learn the hard way. When i was 8 I watched movies far more violent than this, obviously still within limits.
Hang on a minute, I'm 28 and had a few tears when Shere Kahn killed Akela. I don't cry at situations but in films I get attached and teary.
Stop having a go at someone's parenting and the child, when clearly as a child yourself you were allowed to watch films that were not right for your age range, is it therefore acceptable to judge you and your parents.
The original post is clearly a warning that if anyone has a child who upsets easily to a violent death of the parent figure in a film etc not to take them to the cinema to see the film. I'm sure posts like this would have been common while Lion King, Bambi and other Disney films were out!

Shere Khan killing Akela was not a violent death, you call that a violent death! So what happens when you see a movie where someone stabs someone with a sword or a knife, do you pass out? The OP has raised his kid(s) too delicately for them to cry at that so much that they feel the need to leave the cinema. Toughen up your kids, I'm not saying send them to the army or bootcamp or anything, just street them up a little because they will come a time when they'll have to do deal with it out of no choice.

A tiger killing a wolf is categorically a violent death. It's not like Shere Khan used poison or somehow non-violently gave Akela a heart attack.
But a larger question: where's the virtue in becoming inured to movie violence? Watching movies is optional; watching violent movies is even more optional; how does anyone have "no choice" but to deal with it? Unless in "dealing with it" you include avoiding it, which is completely possible and what many people choose.
