Tear Jerker / Richie Rich

Go To

  • From the movie, when Richie hears that his parents' plane has gone down. He uses the 'Dad Link' to try and find his father. Nothing. He tries it again with boosted power, and the computer eventually informs him, 'Dad not found.' Over and over again.
  • Richie's eventual friends excluding him at first and later admitting they had to be bribed into hanging out with him is depressing for anyone who's struggled to make friends.
  • Van Dough frames Cadbury for the murder plot he committed against Richie's parents. This results in Van Dough gaining custody of Richie and control over the company.
  • Also, when he looks out from his window to see his faithful servants being forced to leave because Van Dough fired them following Cadbury's arrest. It then shifts into Nightmare Fuel when Richie walks around the house and sees Ferguson's men installing cameras everywhere, effectively turning his house into a prison.
