*** Just the audio is terjerking. On the soundtrack, the song at this part is "The Tear Heals". They leave in the singing. It is absolutely heartbreaking. You can hear the pain.

* To any survivor of domestic abuse, Mother Gothel's treatment of Rapunzel strikes a ''really'' painful chord. In this troper's experience, accurate to the point of some terrible flashbacks.

** Not sure if this is a RealLife example or not, but I actually started to miscarry for the second time right after I watched this for the first time. The song flashed through my mind over and over again.
*** Considering I cried when I read it, definitely. I'm so sorry for your loss.

* When taken out of context as a spell incantation, "Healing Incantation" is a very sad song; it's basically the pleas of someone who [[YouCantFightFate desperately wants to escape fate]] to "heal what has been hurt," "save what has been lost," and "bring back what once was mine."

* TearJerker: The scene of the king, right before he and the queen release the lantern on Rapunzel's 18th birthday, is enough the make even the most heartless scrooge shed a tear. The fact that there's no dialogue just makes it even worse.

* For some reason, the scene where Rapunzel and Flynn are [[spoiler: trapped in the sealed cave with rapidly-rising water, thinking they're about to die]] gets to me...Partly because of Rapunzel's tearful apologizing and "Mother was right; I never should have left..." and partly because of Flynn trying to tell her it's hopeless a few seconds earlier.

** For this troper, it was less the DisneyDeath, but what happens right before it: [[spoiler: Flynn/Eugene has a chance to survive, but sacrifices his life by cutting off her healing hair so Rapunzel could be free from Mother Gothel.]]
*** I second the third post on here, it was that moment that caused me to tear up as well...
