I still like the artistry of Sleeping Beauty, can't wait for the BD to come out this year. The two sequences that always thrill me to pieces are when Aurora gets hypnotized by the glowing ball (mostly for the music though and the tension of the scene), and the dragon sequence. From the time Maleficent wakes up and starts cursing ("A forest of thorns shall be his tomb, borne through the skies in a fog of doom, now go with a curse and serve me well, round Stephen's castle cast my spell!"... I get chills) to when the fairies imbue the sword with power ("Sword of truth fly swift and sure, that evil die and good endure!"... I get all misty-eyed)... yeah I know it's silly, but that's my favorite!

But I also like scenes like Triplets of Belleville (the sequence on the boat is amazing), Princess Mononoke (when the forest spirit gets whacked), Sailor Moon season 1 (a (spoiler free moment) in the final episode had me literally bawling it was so emotionally powerful), Metropolis (the anime version, obviously, when the city gets exploded), and the opening sequence of Beauty and the Beast gives me chills.
