The opening sequence was absolutely beautiful! I definitely got teary eyed during that part, although I didn't actually cry until later on in the film.
I started full-on crying when Charles threw the net on Kevin who was crying for her babies..and then threw his lamp on Carl's house so that he would have to choose. When it showed the picture of Ellie falling off of the wall..I lost it.
Then whenever Carl was looking at the book and found the pages that Ellie had added in without him knowing..I cried some more.
I also got a little teary when he dumped all of the furniture out of the house to save Russell - and it showed how carefully he had set up the chairs.
A lot of things at the very end made me cry too. Carl losing his house but being thrilled at saving his three new friends, Russell's dad not showing up to pin his badge on him, Carl filling in for him and then playing Russell's favorite game, and of course the final shot of Carl's house landing right back next to Paradise Falls.
..I know it sounds like I cried the entire, but I promise I didn't! There were times when I was laughing hysterically and literally sitting on the edge of my seat. This was truly an amazing movie!
