This wasn't a proper Tearjerker entry on its own but instead maybe was meant as some sort of intro to the page? I have tried to rewrite it accordingly, while trying to correct some grammar.


* This movie isn't too popular, considering all the controversy revolving around it's dark nature and how, despite being a Disney movie, it's much [[DarkerAndEdgier]] than it looks. But since it's a [[Tearjerker/{{Disney}} Disney]] movie, it has genuinely tearjerking and heartbreaking moments.

* Creeper being choked by the Horned King for any annoyance or setback, while usually PlayedForLaughs- well, [[BlackComedy very dark laughs]], one instance of his latest failure has the latter beckon him over in order to choke him. The former decided to strangle himself in order to appease his BadBoss of a superior. The situation echoes a very abusive relationship and a dark parallel to Taran and Gurgi.

* Princess Eilonwy demands respect from Taran after they escape and he comments that girls wouldn't know anything about swords. Upset, she runs off and cries while leaning against a tree. When he goes to apologize to her, she forgives him, and treats him with respect in return.

* Gurgi's death. While he comes back, he ''was'' dead and it required great magic and SwissArmyTears to revive him--if the witches hadn't been forced to 'pay' for the cauldron's return he would've ''stayed'' dead. And the reason he did it was so Taran wouldn't die.

* After the witches regain the Black Cauldron, Gurgi's body is left where it was, without any sign of life. It makes you think that they used ExactWords and just brought his body back, but not his life.
* Taran cradling Gurgi's dead body and nuzzling into it. [[spoiler:This brings him back to life]].
