That stupid sad one almost broke me. You know how hard it is to sob silently in a movie with no words? IMPOSSIBLE. I just had to let the snot and tears run down my face until it was over. Stupid cartoon.

Yep. 10. They're all there. The 9th one, "John and Karen" is a link. I couldn't embed the video.
