The Muppet Christmas Carol/Tear Jerker


 * The song "When Love Is Gone".
 * Also a bit of a Scrappy, since some people didn't like this number, and the theatrical release doesn't have it. Let's just say that Your Mileage May Vary on this song...
 * What does it for most people is when Present-Scrooge joins in and practically breaks down himself when he realizes that Belle is and was totally right.
 * Now, when The Love We Found kicks in at the end? Try keeping dry after that.
 * Tiny Tim's death.
 * when Kermit/Bob says he arranged for Tiny Tim to be buried on his favorite hilltop, where he could see the ducks. "He always loved watching the ducks on the river."
 * "I think [Dad]'s walked a little slower these past two evenings." That line just sets the tragedy up so mercilessly. The entire scene is near impossible not to weep at.
 * This troper has never not cried when Kermit/Bob's voice breaks on his son's name as he says, "Life is made up of meetings and partings; that is the way of it. I am sure we shall never forget Tiny Tim, or this first parting that there was among us."
 * This is the only version of A Christmas Carol where Tim's death gets to this troper. The fact that Kermit the Frog, a symbol of happiness, laughter, and all that good stuff, is so totally heartbroken is just horrible to watch.
 * It doesn't help with the Reality Subtext of Jim Henson's death.
 * "The goose, the goose... (coughs)"
 * Right after Kermit/Bob finishes "One More Sleep Til Christmas", he scurries off camera, and the camera pans over to the homeless bunny Scrooge threw the wreath at earlier, who is spending his Christmas trying to sleep in a heap of trash.
 * The dedication to Jim Henson and Richard Hunt also invokes this on a meta level.
