* ''[[AmericanMcGeesAlice American McGee's Alice]]'' is intentionally weird and disturbing, given that it's basically the warped version of a child's whimsical fantasy. However, the deaths of [[spoiler: the Gryphon, and the Cheshire Cat]] are particularly heart-wrenching, especially since this causes Alice to have her HeroicBSOD after calmly weathering all the other freakishness she's seen. The latter actually caused one of the guys doing a [[LetsPlay Let's Play]] of it to state [[spoiler: "That was for the Cheshire Cat, by the way."]] during his thrashing of the Queen of Hearts.

** And let's not even get into the fate of the March Hare. At least the Dormouse was so out of it that he barely knew what had happened to him.
** For me, it's the opening cinematic that gets me sniffling. Alice's voice actress may not sound particularly like a little girl, but the way she cries out, "Mum? ''Father?!''" just -- And then you hear her parents screaming for her to get out, save herself, before there's this awful ''crashing'' noise. . . .
*** It's possible that's the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse screaming for her to get out, since all of the voices sound male. Which still makes it a TearJerker, considering they were still in their "right minds" (still mad, but harmlessly so) and obviously cared about Alice... that is, before she crossed over her DespairEventHorizon and turned them into [[CameBackWrong twisted versions of their former selves]].

** Actually, [[spoiler: you can still summon the Cheshire Cat to give you tips afterwards, as [[MythologyGag he never had a problem with detaching his head.]]]] But Alice didn't know that.
