You know, even as a kid...

Like, I get choked up by a lot of stuff in movies. It's not that I have a tough time forming emotional connections.

But I remember watching that scene as a kid, and thinking it was just....weird. Like, the horse is supposed to be sad, but... It didnt SEEM sad. It wasn't a sad horse thay needed to fight the sadness. It just seemed like a horse. A horse that was really confused why it was there, and in a bunch of mud, and etc.

Like, even at 8 or whatever I remember thinking "wow, I'm supposed to be sad here, but I really am not and neither is Artax"

And I feel the same way watching it since.

I get more choked up on stuff involving the luck dragon. Or maybe the rock biter talking about not being strong enough, etc.
