Unexpected Emotional Disney Movies That Break Hearts
Disney likes to play with our emotions. Who would have guessed animated films about talking animals and princesses could set the waterworks in motion? On the always honest r/AskReddit, Reddit user u/Traditional_Scar3701 asked: What Disney movie made you unexpectedly cry? The results will have you looking like Niagara Falls: *SPOILERS AHEAD* "The end of Onward...I wasn't expecting the waterworks there!" "Luca! At the end, when his friend lets him get on the train to go to school!" "Just finished Coco and I'm a wreck." "Big Hero 6. I watched it a few months after my own brother was killed. It wrecked me." "When I rewatched Lilo and Stitch for the first time as an adult, Nani facing the fact that Lilo was going to be taken by the social worker crushed me. Never fazed me as a kid." "Didn't think I'd be crying just nine minutes into an animated kids' film. It was Up." "Two parts of Moana: When the grandmother becomes a sting ray, and when she sings to Tafiti's molten lava version. 'They have stolen the heart from inside you. But this does not define you.' Lost it." "The Lion King is very heavy." "I recently watched Finding Nemo again, having become a parent, and the scene where they're reunited made me sob." "The Fox and the Hound was the first movie that made me cry as a kid. 'Yeah, friends. Forever.'" "The first Guardians of the Galaxy, when Quill's mom dies. I was not expecting that. A few years later, my mom would also die of cancer." "Inside Out 2 with the panic attack scene causes anxiety." "Encanto. Mirabelle's ending was well-earned and executed. The payoff made me ugly cry buckets." "The scene in Encanto where Abuela witnesses her husband's murder and just screams silently gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's so visceral and well-done. That whole sequence with 'Dos Origuitas' makes me sad because we see that Abuela was an earnest goofball just like Mirabel, even though she looks a lot like Isabela." "Encanto. First time watching it, I figured it would have some emotion because it is Disney, but when the sister sang 'I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service,' it got me." "The short Bao." "'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' from Frozen still breaks me" "'Reflection' in Mulan." "Finding Dory…the scene where they first show Dory's parents' house and all the seashell trails…I'm choking up just thinking about it." "F*ckin' Bambi. I was a mere child when I saw it, and the last thing I expected was that they were going to kill off his mother!" "The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The sincerity of a man who just wants to be accepted and have friends, meaningful relationships, and experiences. It's a struggle for him. Cried when Quasi was so excited about the Festival of Fools, and he gets laughed back to the Church. The song 'Heaven's Light' is so sweetly innocent. And at the end, when he is finally accepted. Tears. " "'You'll be in my Heart' from Tarzan hits way different now that I have my own kid." "Meet The Robinsons. It is such a great movie. I don't understand why it isn't more popular. I can't make it through without crying like a baby." "Going back a ways: Old Yeller." "Beauty and the Beast, bawled like a freaking baby." "Finding Nemo, when Marlin flashes back to rolling Nemo's egg in his fin." "The Good Dinosaur… that movie was sad." "Soul made me ugly cry." "Cars, despite watching dozens of times, whenever lightning pushes the king across the line, my sprinkler system malfunctions." "Obviously, Deadpool & Wolverine." "Wall-E." "I couldn't finish Inside Out. Didn't even get to Bing Bong." And finally, "Frozen II. I was coming out of a very, very bad situation and had taken my kid to see it. When 'Show Yourself' played, I openly wept. I still cry during that song. It helped me gain courage to be myself and grow into my power." Which Disney film made you unexpectedly cry?

Eva Longoria Expands Partnership with iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network, as Hyphenate Media Group Becomes Stakeholder
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 16, 2025-- My Cultura, iHeartMedia's podcast network dedicated to elevating Latino voices and stories, today announced a major expansion of its collaboration with award-winning actress, producer, director and philanthropist Eva Longoria. Hyphenate Media Group—the studio she co-founded in partnership with industry leader Cris Abrego, who serves as the group's CEO—has acquired an equity share in My Cultura and will also be represented on its Board of Advisors. As part of the new deal, Hyphenate and Longoria will executive produce a slate of new original podcasts with iHeartMedia's My Cultura. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: 'Storytelling shapes how we see ourselves and how the world sees us, and podcasting is one of the most intimate, accessible and powerful ways to connect with audiences and share meaningful, authentic conversations,' said Longoria. 'There's never been a more urgent time to elevate Latino voices and talent. Through this partnership between Hyphenate and iHeart's My Cultura, we're building a bigger platform for stories that reflect the richness and complexity of our community.' The upcoming lineup will include the continuation of Longoria's flagship podcast, ' Hungry for History,' which she hosts alongside culinary historian Maite Gomez Rejón. More information on upcoming shows will be available soon. 'Podcasting is a natural dimension of the kind of IP we are investing in at Hyphenate—premium, creator-led, talent-driven, and designed to move across platforms,' said Abrego.

'We are honored to recognize our fourth anniversary by welcoming Hyphenate Media Group as a stakeholder in iHeart's My Cultura Podcast Network and committing to a new slate of podcasts curated in partnership with Eva Longoria,' said Santos.

She has long been a powerful advocate for Latino voices, and her work both in front of and behind the camera has elevated our culture in meaningful, lasting ways. Her leadership continues to open doors and change narratives, making her a true force for representation.'

Encanto In Gurugram Is A Delicious Mexican Escape We All Need
Stepping into EnCanto feels like leaving behind the chaos of the city and entering a warm corner of Tulum. A beautiful blend of rustic Mexican charm and contemporary Indian vibrance, this new Latin restaurant is the brainchild of Anant Bali and Tusheeta Khanna. The earthy textures, ivory walls, terracotta hues, and pops of bougainvillea add a soft, floral touch. By evening, the space takes on a moody glow with amber lighting, deep green accents, and a large bar that becomes the focal point. But the real magic happens on the plate Encanto's menu is a celebration of Mexican soul food with a modern twist. I liked almost every dish I tried. My absolute favourite was the Slow-Braised Lamb Tlacoyas - tender, juicy, and packed with flavour in every bite. Another standout was the Shrimp Quesadilla, soft and bursting with flavour. The Grilled Butter Prawns Tostada may have just been the best thing on the table - crisp, fresh, and generously loaded. The Blackened Grilled Chicken Burrito Bowl was hearty and comforting, while the Coloradita Chicken stood out for its rich, mayo-chilli sauce that added a creamy kick. Presentation is clearly important here, from the artfully plated food to the stunning cutlery and cocktail glasses with intricate floral designs. Speaking of cocktails, Encanto Picante stole the show. A fiery number with just the right amount of heat, it pairs beautifully with the bold dishes. The Morella - a gin-based cocktail with a hint of sweetness - was also a refreshing pick. If you're up for something fun and quirky, try something from the Bongo-Bongo section. These tropical cocktails come in playful, flask-style bongs with flavours like coconut, mango, and berries. While the food and drinks impressed me, the service - not so much. To be fair, it was still early days for the restaurant when I visited, so I'm hopeful this will improve with time. All in all, Encanto delivers where it matters - flavour and flair. Go for the food if you are a fan of Mexican cuisine.
