Like children themselves, kids’ cartoons have a way of making adults cry. While kids tend to resort to meaner ways of making adults shed tears (i.e. calling us old and uncool), children’s cartoons hit grown-ups where it really hurts.

Adult shows certainly sting, but how is it that fun stories about talking animals and wacky wizards somehow cut deeper? Because cartoons know how to stick the knife in when it’s least expected, and these 10 go straight for the tear ducts.
