• Feed The Kitty, a Warner Brothers animated short, has been known to reduce audiences to tears. Oddly, it was intended to be funny.
  • Public Service Announcement: Do not click on that link.
  • That sequence was so famous (and effective) that it was recreated shot for shot in Monsters, Inc., only with Sully and Boo in place of Marc Anthony and Pussyfoot.
  • Even this troper, who rarely cries during movies, had wet eyes.

• Baby Looney Tunes...sure it was filled with Tastes Like Diabetes and Anviliciousness but think about it...those babies who have so much fun playing with each other, who help each other, who stick by each other, who promise to be friends forever...will eventually grow up to become adults who hate each other and try to harm if not outright kill each other.

• Bugs Bunny's Disney Death in "What's Opera, Doc?", maybe the only time in the series when Amusing Injuries is subverted.
  • I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Turns out it was a play format cause Bugs Bunny says this before the end..

Bugs:What did you expect from a opera? A happy ending?

• There was one about a mutt falling in love with a sleek metal dog statue. He had no idea that 'Daisy' wasn't real, and was completely gaga over her. At the cartoon's climax, however, her owners sell her to be melted down for scrap metal and reforged. The mutt takes off to save her, but ultimately fails and ends up left with the bomb her metal was used in. Completely wrecked, he cries "Daisy, what did they do to ya?" and gives her one last kiss -- causing the bomb to explode. This being a Looney Tune, he survives and is even happily bouncing around at the end, thinking "She's still got it!
• Sylvester's breakdown in "Birds Anonymous". Mel Blanc even said it was his favorite cartoon to voices for, especially when it came to Sylvester.
• This line from the "Back In Action" movie, where we hear how Daffy feels about being in Bugs' shadow.

Daffy: What am I talkin' to you for? All you gotta do is munch on a carrot and people love ya.

• Bah Humbduck, A Looney Tunes Christmas Carol. While it mostly downplays the original story for slapstick, the ending is played surprisingly poignantly, a horrified Daffy (in Scrooge form) is met with his future, a horrible lonely death. This is enough to mortify him, until he sees two people mourning at his grave. Porky, despite being Daffy's forever abused assistant, sincerely feels sorry for his boss and wishes him a Merry Xmas, meanwhile his daughter Prissilla promises to visit his grave, insisting no one should spend Christmas alone. Cue Manly Tears from WB's key Unpopular Popular Character.
