Tear Jerker / The Wild Thornberrys Movie

• Akela the cheetah was almost completely helpless as she watched one of her cubs get taken away by a poacher. Even when she latched onto the human, it still did nothing to help her son.
• The tone of absolute defeat in Eliza's voice when she reveals to the Evil Poachers that she can talk to animals. She knows that she'll lose her powers, but at that point, it was all she could do to save her sister.
• Eliza feeling Parting-Words Regret when her powers are taken away and the fact that the last thing she said to Darwin in his language was basically screaming at him to shut up.
• Boko, the native boy whom Debbie befriended, getting knocked out by Sloan and Debbie's reaction.
• The climax of the movie was pretty sad, considering that Eliza was unable to tell the herd that they were in danger. Had Eliza not remembered how to physically communicate with them, they would have run into the fence and been killed.
• The song "Father and Daughter" by Music/Paul Simon. Especially when it plays when Eliza says goodbye to her family as she's taken away to live in London. You can see it on their faces that the whole family is broken up by this.
• Eliza and Darwin find a trapped rhino at one point who claims that a poacher tried to catch him and take his horn. Eliza flags down some people to help and the authorities show up to bring him to a sanctuary. Sadly, this kind of thing happens in the wild all the time thanks to poachers, and there are no Elizas there to help.
