The only two animated films that have ever triggered an emotional response are Watership Down (when I was a kid) and Ghibli's Grave of the Fireflies (when I was an adult). Both were really heavy in ways that are hard to articulate.

The trailer for the latter:

Grave of Fireflies was to this day the only movie that made me cry.

It did so twice.

Pedant's note: GP's comment was how Guillermo del Toro compared Miyazaki to Mozart. Grave of the Fireflies was written and directed by Isao Takahata, not Hayao Miyazaki.

The Wind Rises makes me cry every time. It resonates with me in specific personal ways, however.
