The Wild Thornberrys/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • "Forget Me Not", which has Eliza meeting an old elephant that her father befriended as a young man. She (the elephant) dies peacefully of natural causes at the end of the episode.
  • The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie.
  • The episode where Eliza and her father go hiking into the mountains. Eliza wants to explore more than just the trail, and finds her father's behavior--even if it's just them up there--highly embarrassing, so she sneaks away. She ends up too far, too high up, nearly suffocates and dies, but wakes up in a cave, warm and safe. She thinks it's a group of Natives who saved her, but her alpaca friend tells her no, it was her father. Once he realized she was gone, he went right off the trail and didn't stop looking for her til he found her, and then kept carrying her til he found a place they could rest safely. Just...such a display of fatherly love...*sniff*
