Oh my, I LOVE this last scene. I pretty much knew that they'd do something like this going in and I expected to weep. I did. But what I didn't expect was the other time tears came to my eyes: the incinerator scene. When all the characters realized there was no way out, they just held hands, ready to perish together. Those two scenes were the reason that I limited myself to seeing this movie once in the theater and then not again for a year. Then, I've seen it only one more time since. It's too special to be watered down by repeated viewings. The other two? Seen them a lot, but the third is special.
To my mind, this is the most success trilogy of movies for kids ever. I saw all three of them with my grandson and we both loved every minute. Yes, the third is the best (IMHO). The most mature of them certainly.
