People Are Sharing The Scenes From Kids' Movies That Hit Sooo Much Harder When They Watched Them As Adults (And With Their Own Kids)

"My husband and I have 14-month-old twins, and we watched this a week or so ago. It was the first time we’d seen it since we had the babies and both of us couldn’t stop talking about how messed up it was. I used to love that movie as a kid, but now it just makes me angry and sad."

Life comes at you fast. One day you're playing in the sandbox, the next you're sobbing watching Max from A Goofy Movie tell his dad, "I'm not your little boy anymore!"

It's no secret that just about everything changes when you welcome a child into the world, and as the moms of r/Mommit have discovered, the same goes for watching movies. Member u/curlycattails recently asked other parents in the group: "What is a scene from a kids’ movie that hits different watching it as a parent?"

I don't have children, but I believe the same holds true for watching these movies once you're grown up and have more perspective on life. u/curlycattails's own answer was up first, followed by some that, if you're anything like me, will just tear you apart:

1. The Incredibles (2004)

2. The Little Mermaid (1989)

4. The Rugrats Movie (1998)

11. The Parent Trap (1998)

13. Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)

14. Homeward Bound (1993)

16. The Land Before Time (1988)

19. The Secret Garden (1993)

...Oh, sorry, I was just wiping my tears. So, I must know: which movies tug at your heartstrings watching them as an adult, maybe even with kids of your own, in a way they didn't when you watched them as a kid? Let me know in the comments or with this anonymous Google form.
