Like children themselves, kids’ cartoons have a way of making adults cry. While kids tend to resort to meaner ways of making adults shed tears (i.e. calling us old and uncool), children’s cartoons hit grown-ups where it really hurts. The realities of aging, the inevitable death of loved ones, the weight of real-world responsibilities — cartoons turn grown-up themes into weapons to stab us in the heart. Adult shows certainly sting, but how is it that fun stories about talking animals and wacky wizards somehow cut deeper? Because cartoons know how to stick the knife in when it’s least expected, and these 10 go straight for the tear ducts.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
(Nickelodeon)Avatar: The Last Airbender is a show about people throwing rocks at each other with their minds, but those boulders often hit you straight in the feels. The series begins with devastation: 12-year-old protagonist Aang finding the century-dead skeleton of his beloved father figure in Episode 3. After that, the hits just keep on coming. Watching middle-school-aged Sokka bid the Water Tribe warriors goodbye. Seeing baby-faced Zuko take a fistful of fire to the skull in an Agni Kai. But the biggest emotional stone gets thrown in the infamous Tales of Ba Sing Se episode, when Uncle Iroh tearfully sings a song for his dead son to commemorate his birthday. I can’t even think about it without feeling my lip quiver harder than the ground under King Bumi’s feet, and knowing that the episode was made to honor the passing of Uncle Iroh’s real-life voice actor, Mako, makes my heart crack completely.
