* Seeing the usually-zany Warner Brothers having to be mature and responsible for their sick sister is sobering enough, even if it is played for laughs at times. But the ultimate TearJerker of the movie is most definitely the final run for the star where Dot is hit by a cannonball, and the heartrending [[BigNo "No!"]] from her brothers as they see her crumpled, unconscious form half-buried in the snow. The entire town listens in complete silence as she has Yakko tell her the story "one last time." Yes, [[spoiler:she gets better,]] but the image of Yakko cradling his dying sister and trying to keep his composure while telling the story, then breaking down in tears as she finally [[spoiler: "dies"]] is burned into many a kid's brain. Creator/RobPaulsen and Creator/TressMacNeille's performances are [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct absolutely]] ''[[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct heartrending]]''.
** Well, yeah. Apart from the apparent [[spoiler:"death" itself, seeing ''[[DeadpanSnarker Yakko]]'' cry]] will do that to people.
** Hell, even some of ''[[spoiler: SALAZAR'S MEN]]'' were crying over [[spoiler:her "death!"]] The Captain of the Guard even calls Salazar out on it!
** Not to mention the entire cast [[EveryoneHasStandards staring on in horror and despair]], even [[TakeOvertheWorld Brain]], even [[{{Jerkass}} Plotz]], even people like [[LockedOutoftheLoop Mindy and Buttons, who didn't even know who they are in this story]], are horrifed to see this.

They, along with Yakko, even weep over Dot's "death", and so do '''''Salazar's men.''''' The Captain even calls out Salazar for this.



** On top of all of this, earlier in the movie it's all but stated that Yakko, being the oldest of the three, has been forced to take on responsibility for Wakko and Dot and has likely been taking care of them since they were very small. In a more serious movie, there would also be the element of Yakko's own guilt because unknown illness or not, he was responsible for his younger siblings, and he failed to keep one of them alive. Yakko's grief isn't just that of a brother, it's of a parent.
