I know of two nt kids that are dd's age who also cry/get scared while watching some Disney movies. I think the difference is what triggers the emotions. My (limited) observation is that the nt kids cry at the obviously bad stuff whereas dd cries for even the subtle and covertly bad things, and many times in anticipation of the bad thing even before it happens.
