A CLASSIC!

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 1999)

When this movie ended, I couldn't get out of my seat. You see, tears were pouring down my cheeks and I didn't want anyone in the lobby to see me. They may have thought it odd to see a fifty year old man crying.
They began as tears of sadness about three minutes before the movie ended. It was a bitter-sweet sadness and I could easily have brushed them away. But it was the final scene, the last few seconds of the film, that did me in.
If you've seen "Places in the Heart," you know what I mean... a final, defining scene that is so uplifting, so utterly transcendent, that it becomes a transforming moment in your life.
The feeling remained with me long after I had hurried out of the lobby and into my truck. I believe it was about the time I was pulling into my driveway that I realized, "Hey, this was only an animated feature, for pete's sake... an animated feature, and it has touched my life deeply."
I intend to tell all my friends about this movie. I want them all to see it. A movie this wonderful is just too good to pass by.
