I don’t remember the exact line, but the line in the end of An American Tail where Fivel says something to the extent of “I’ll never find my family” and that they don’t love him because he thinks they all gave up on him having survived falling off the boat and into the ocean really hit hard, for me at least.
Tried to put in a spoiler tag thing, but it wasn’t working on my end, so sorry for spoiling this moment in the end of the movie to those who have somehow never seen it. You’re only close to 40 years late now.
Orphan #1: So what’s your story? Fievel Mousekewitz: I’m looking for my family. Orphan #2: Hey, fellas! He’s looking for his family. Orphan #1, Orphan #3: [Teasing] He’s looking for his family! Orphan #3: I stopped looking a long time ago. Orphan #2: At least you know who they are. Orphan #1: Besides, why are you looking for them? They should be looking… Orphan #1, Orphan #2, Orphan #3: …for you! Orphan #3: They don’t care. Forget 'em.
Fievel Mousekewitz: [Angry] You’re right! They don’t care, and if they did, they would have found me! Well, if they don’t care, I don’t care! I hope I never see them again! Orphan #2: Yeah! Forget about them! You’re one of us now! Orphan #1: Here. Make yourself a bed.
[They toss hay over Fievel].
Orphan #1: Ha-ha-ha! Pitiful. Fievel Mousekewitz: [Crying] I’ll never find them anyway. Never. Never. Never. This is my home now.

Yeah! This! It’s just such an emotional gut punch to see the ever optimistic Fievel just give up at the very end.
They all gave up on him
