Cricket,
So glad you posted about King Kong as well. I never looked at it that way but it makes sense - the injustice to the innocent and defenseless. And isn't it kind of amazing that they see a 50ft. ape as defenseless? I imagine they empathize with others who do not have the power to be heard/understood or to control what goes on in their lives.
They did cry at Bridge to Terabithia as well but more sad and teary eyed. King Kong had them crying and begging "Why, Mommy?"
I love that you are involving your children in activities that help them feel like they can make a difference and stand up for others who cannot stand for themselves.
