This is from the Fifth season of Futurama, Episode Two- Jurassic Bark. I think the show is okay, but this scene really was quite moving. It has become one of my favorite scenes in the realm of cartoons. A little background to the clip. So Fry finds the fossilized remains of his dog in a museum wants to clone him. Bender gets jealous and thus starts the plot. It is one of the better episodes and has tons of flashbacks showing the real relationship between Fry and his dog (like them singing "I'm walking on sunshine" together). After about 25 minutes of cartoon-y plot, right when they are about to clone the dog, but Fry stops it thinking his dog had forgotten him... but he never did. The scene is really touching and not funny... but I like it because its one of the few cartoon moments that made me feel something other than wanting to laugh. It is quite beautiful. The dog story is a common one, probably inspired by Homer's The Oddessey, Greyfriar's Bobby, or the Japanese Hachiko. Enjoy.
