I saw the animation when I was 8 and never forgot the story, the emotion and the moral lessons it taught. The voice performances by Plummer and Johns lent grace and verisimilitude to the show. I cried at the ending even though I had read the story before.
I just watched it again as a middle aged dad with my 6 yr old son. And we both sniffled at the ending. Still emotionally powerful and deeply moving. If you know Oscar Wilde's own tragic life events, the story is doubly impactful.
