We all remember that first cry at the cinema. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it's quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. However, what about those heartbreaking stories... for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world.
Actually, many great kids' films filled with tragedy are purposefully meant to stir up kids' strong feelings. According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life's unsolvable issues through sensible thinking. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids' films is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal. The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it's sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba's character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss.
Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it's okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It's an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored(忽视). It's important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte's Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it.
So, what is the message behind a sad kids' film? It's meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It's like a cushion(缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying "Hakuna Matata".

我们都记得在电影院里的第一次哭泣。无论是喜悦的泪水还是悲伤的泪水，人类的情感竟能被屏幕上的动态图像所左右，这十分令人惊讶。事实上，这一切都源于一个设计。然而，那些让孩子们心碎的故事呢……它们似乎并没有粉饰世界的现实。
实际上，许多充满悲剧色彩的优秀儿童电影是有意要激发孩子们强烈的情感。根据亚里士多德的观点，悲剧能帮助我们通过理性思考来面对生活中无法解决的问题。因此，儿童电影中悲剧的存在是为了教导孩子们如何应对、理解并治愈（伤痛）。对孩子来说，最难的一课是如何应对失去，尤其是突如其来的失去。经典卡通片《狮子王》讲述了辛巴的故事，他经历了父亲的离世。孩子们能在辛巴这个角色身上看到自己的影子。他有梦想，渴望成长并成为更广阔世界的一部分。但看到（他经历的）失去真的令人心碎。
为什么这样一部让孩子们哭泣的电影会如此受欢迎呢？它所传授的教训是克服困难、勇往直前。哈库那玛塔塔！是的，《狮子王》里的这个短语是要教导孩子们，从悲剧性的失去中走出来是可以的，不要让它定义你。这是我们在很小的时候就学到的重要一课。悲伤不应被忽视。感到悲伤是很重要的，这就是这些电影如此出色的原因。在《小飞象》《夏洛特的网》和《仙境之桥》中，我们失去了心爱的角色。这让孩子们很不安，但它教会他们接受悲伤，并从中创造新的东西。
那么，一部悲伤的儿童电影背后传达的信息是什么呢？它旨在教导观众，尤其是孩子们，获得独立性以及如何从悲剧中解脱出来。它就像一个缓冲垫，将故事与现实分隔开来。当悲伤的情绪真正袭来时，它能帮助孩子们应对，或者至少通过说“哈库那玛塔塔”来获得解脱。
