Warning, possible spoilers ahead.

I'm normally not a big fan of movie sequels, particularly those for Disney films, as they usually seem to fall short of the original movie they're based on.

Usually, when people think of penguins, they automatically think of Emperor Penguins right away.

10 Childhood Movies That Still Punch Us Right In The Feels, Even Years Later

Disney • Pixar

As kids, we watched our fair share of movies and we can point out scenes that we remember the most, whether they're enjoyable or slightly scarring. From as lovely as the dance scene in the "Beauty and the Beast" to as horrible as Mufasa or Bambi's mom dying, we always remember the scenes that touched us, especially those that made us cry into our blankies as kids.
