Whenever anyone brings up Pixar's most emotional moments, it's usually this sequence that comes out first thanks to the perfection in the marriage between the images and Randy Newman's beautiful, Pixar-best song.

As Sarah McLachlan's soulful voice winds through Newman's words, we see the entire emotional heart of the Toy Story franchise played out in one sequence as Jessie goes from being an adored toy to a cast-off. Every emotional note is matched precisely by Newman's music and lyrics and it's impossible not to lose yourself entirely to the story.

And finally the crushing cherry on top comes when Jessie sadly says "You never forget kids like Emily or Andy, but they forget you." It's almost like she's offering a synopsis of the whole Toy Story trilogy.
