History TearJerker / KungFuPanda2

** Not to mention the followup: [[spoiler:While Po and gang are being led to Lord Shen's palace, they come across a big groove in the ground and Master Rhino's hammer stuck upright at the end. Whereby Wolf Boss pats it and chuckles evilly...]]

** Makes it more sadder that for a long time [[spoiler: Po's biological dad had believed his family was killed that night.]]

* Mr. Ping breaking down at the end, when he thinks Po isn't coming back, and then Po reappears.

* [[spoiler:Po, after landing in his hometown, now in ruins from Lord Shen's invasion, finally completely remembers why he lost his parents. Filmed from Po's perspective, his mom, pursued by his soldiers, intentionally leaves him in a discarded pile of radish cartons so he would at least be spared and undetected, and before she lured away Shen's forces and he never saw her again. This is especially moving considering how, previously, Shen tries time and again to convince Po that his parents did not love him, just like he believes his own parents did not as well. The sweeping music, combined with the switch from 2D to 3D animation, and his mom's pained expression from giving up her baby, pulls at the heartstrings even more and making it hands down the saddest moment in a Dreamworks Animation film.]]

--> '''Mr Ping:''' Why'd he have to go and save China? I mean, I know '''why'''...but '''why'''? *voice breaking* He's just...one...little...panda...

* Shen's normally stoic demeanor when talking about his parents breaking, if only for a moment, when the Soothsayer told him that they loved him so much that sending him away killed them. For the briefest of instants, you see a look of regret and maybe a little sorrow on Shen's face before he tries to cover it up.

* Boss Wolf's expressions as he struggles with the need to obey his master and the need [[AFatherToHisMen protect his pack]]. [[UpToEleven It's worse]] when you take into consideration that he had been childhood friends with Lord Shen, and then he is [[spoiler: thoughtlessly, instantly murdered by Shen when he decides to stand up to who had once been his friend in a hopeless effort to save his kin]].

** It's actually worse of you watch Master Rhino in the holiday and masters special's because you get to see how noble and benevolent he [[spoiler:was before he died]]. The masters special even shows us that for a long time he felt as though he could never quit live up to his father's Kung-Fu legacy.

* [[spoiler:Po, after landing in his hometown, now in ruins from Lord Shen's invasion, finally completely remembers why he lost his parents.

* The sight of all ten kung fu masters, the most powerful and noble warriors in the land, in the aftermath of the completely drained and utterly defeated, seemingly without a chance in the world...the shot of Shifu watching Po- either a surrogate son or a dear friend to him- [[spoiler:looking as if he was preparing for a ''SuicideByCop'']] makes this troper's heart break.

-->''[[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic I actually heard people crying at some scenes of this movie. Yes Kung Fu Panda 2 staring Jack Black actually made people cry in the cinema. That is a damn impressive feat.]]

* Tigress when the Furious Five are [[spoiler: all in chains after seeing Po take a shot point blank from the largest cannon in Shen's arsenal.]] It's not hard to see that [[spoiler: the apparent death of her closest friend]] has completely broken her. The only thing she can muster when Shen comes to taunt them about their defeat is a low growl and a look of pure, undiluted ''hatred''.

** To make it more tear-jerking, this realization pulls Po out of his two-Act-long HeroicBSOD, and leads to him [[HesBack returning to finish Shen off!]]

* [[spoiler:"My son is alive."]]

** [[spoiler:It becomes worse when he ''does'' find happiness and peace of mind eventually... [[FaceDeathWithDignity two seconds before]] [[DeathSeeker he dies]].]]

* There is really only one tear-jerking moment: [[spoiler:Po, after landing in his hometown, now in ruins from Lord Shen's invasion, finally completely remembers why he lost his parents. Filmed from Po's perspective, his mom, pursued by his soldiers, intentionally leaves him in a discarded pile of radish cartons so he would at least be spared and undetected, and it is implied that she sacrifices her own life instead. This is especially moving considering how, previously, Shen tries time and again to convince Po that his parent did not love him, just like he believes his own parents did not as well. The sweeping music, combined with the switch from 2D to 3D animation, and his mom's pained expression from giving up her baby, pulls at the heartstrings even more.]]
