"This is from the fifth season of Futurama, Episode Two - Jurassic Bark. This scene really was quite moving. It has become one of my favorite scenes in the realm of cartoons. A little background to the clip. So Fry finds the fossilized remains of his dog in a museum wants to clone him. Bender gets jealous and thus starts the plot. It is one of the better episodes and has tons of flashbacks showing the real relationship between Fry and his dog (like them singing "I'm walking on sunshine" together). After about 25 minutes of cartoon-y plot, right when they are about to clone the dog, but Fry stops it thinking his dog had forgotten him... but he never did. The scene is really touching and not funny... but I like it because its one of the few cartoon moments that made me feel something other than wanting to laugh. It is quite beautiful." --YouTube comment

gwiz665says...Tear jerking all around. Even spam-bots cry at this. *quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by gwiz665.
billpayersays...Seems kind of based on the Japanese story of Hachiko the dog, who waited faithfully for his dead owner to arrive back from the train station in Tokyo (shibuya I think)
yourhydrasays...I was thinking of something spiteful to say about cats being better....but I cried at the end so I can't now.
Bruti79says...The other cartoons that have made me cry were Transformers: The Movie, and UP. This is right on top with UP.
E_Nygmasays...can we clone this video so it doesn't keep dying on us?
xTiTcH-101says...I lol'd.
stevnjessie1says...fry's dog on Futurama was based on the japanese akita Hachiko (except for the spaceships and blob-monsters - look it up). This is the saddest thing you could put on cartoon; bambi's mom isn't even in the ballpark.
Jungliistsays...Great episode....Very weird feeling or doing something other than laughing when watching Futurama ........kind of "deep" in a good way for this show. Mans best friend!!!1
antsays...:~( still sad today!!
siftbotsays...The thumbnail image for this video has been updated - thumbnail added by vaporlock.
Shepppardsays...Holy fuck.
My cat has been sick for weeks, and getting progressively worse. Today she was so weak that she couldn't even move, so we placed her on our softest pillow and had to physically turn her when she wanted to move.
So, at 12:30 a.m. I was watching futurama and keeping her company (sitting on the couch next to her.)
The last I had looked at her, Bender was jumping into the lava to save Seyamore, and she was breathing.
I looked down as soon as seyamore put his head down and she was not.
I have completely lost it.
*Doublepromote this video in her honour.

Boise_Libsays...My heart goes out to you @Shepppard.
We had a cat that needed that kind of care.
I carried her to the cat box for several weeks.
Now whenever I see this I'll remember your story, also.

This scene is based on a true story: Hachikō
"In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the dog waited at Shibuya station."
And there is a film with Richard Gere based on this story: Hachi: A Dog's Tale - Wiki and Trailer
Tear Drop :')
PlayhousePalssays...Better than a diuretic ... I have to rehydrate every time I watch that movie.

peter12says...At the time I was still fan of Richard. And the story reached my heart. I'm not silly and watch all the films a liked again, especially emotional ones. Now they are In my treasurer of good memories and are safe there. They were right for the time.
