How Pixar uses Music to make you Cry

Update: The example in the end of this video got muted for copyright.

Have you guys noticed how Pixar does this?
I managed to find this pattern in a lot of Pixar films, even though they aren't the only (or the first!) ones to do this.

Have any questions? concerns? Feel free to message me or leave a comment below.

Listen to how this fits:
*Music is gone*
Damn you YouTube

[acialist]

Boo: "kitty!"
Me: *°cries eyes out°*

[redhotmcr]

Oh boy, one chord from Up and i'm already crying

[suzyhangaround]

I cannot believe I started crying when he hit those three keys on the piano. This is some sorcery

[migs]

Sideways: Let's put a the nemo's family theme over tadashi's scene.
*Silence*
Sideways: oooohhh I think that works

[jojogape]

3:29 The way his pupils widen when he sees Boo. Like, that's an actual response when you see someone you love.

ellie’s theme never fails to make me cry i swear to god—

[jonathancineus]

That 1 chord guy is a musical genius. He literally reached into millions of hearts with a single note.

Me: "Sounds like a lullaby"
Sideways: "This piece is actually a lullaby"
I am a musical god

[SoExcited]

okay but the Nemo song legitimately makes me sad happy.


sappy

[callahancovington]

Damn you. Watching this actually made me cry.

[stanleyphillips]

This guy sounds like dipper from gravity falls when he’s grown up

[matamoney]

This is honestly one of those channels that's so good that I don't want it to get super big, like I want it to be a really good secret. Lol.

[rowni]

This deserves more views. I was tearing up even while you were explaining the music

[TimeTravelerJessica]

Damn it I cried just seeing bits and pieces of the opening scenes of Up.

[worldofswords]

When I first watched finding Nemo I never realized that the mom and kids died, because I was a little kid. so when you said that they died I had a sad feeling going through my soul... this just shows how invested in the characters we can get even if they aren’t real

[ryzeus]

I don't need music to cry, I just see my bank account balance.

[lucasgalvin]

It seems like the older u get the sadder stuff gets

[garretgherardini]

I'm a 21 year old dude and every time I hear that chord progression in up I just sob. Powerful shit right there

Music can make or break a movie, show or even a video game. Music is one aspect of movies that can not be overlooked, an essential tool to create the mood you'd want in your writing. There are movies out there that lack the proper music in certain scenes and it usually turns the viewers off.
