When I was about three years old, I remember watching the Disney version of Snow White on TV and feeling odd stirrings at the scene where she broke down sobbing in the haunted woods.
At another point, I remember watching the Disney movie of Cinderella from 1950, and feeling those same stirrings watching her cry from her sisters' harassment.
I remember lying in bed at night, fantasizing about being able to comfort them. It would sometimes pretend I could kiss their cheeks and feel the wetness, or I would dry-hump my pillow, fantasizing that it was their heaving chest and belly.
So, my first crying crushes were Disney princesses. Did those scenes affect anyone else?

Unfortunately since I'm not usually into female tears, not really.
I know this is outside the scope of the topic, but Ariel and Belle were some of my first basic (non crying) crushes , though I didn't know to mentally frame it like that at the time.

Speaking personally, it's always bugged me that there has never, NEVER been a Disney Prince who has ever cried, while I believe practically every Disney Princess has done so.

That crossed my mind when I made this post. I was wondering if there were any male character counterparts out there who wept, whom the women might have found attractive. The dwarfs did weep for Snow White, though.

Actually, although Quasimodo was not a prince by Disney's standards, he was the lead of Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Tom Hulce, who voiced Quasi in the film, did a beautiful job of crying when he thought Esmerelda had died. I still think to date that he is the only male lead in a Disney film who has cried.

I remember that, but even though he was the lead, I though Phoebus was more the Disney Prince type.

Not Disney, but in Prince of Egypt Moses does some heartrending crying after the Ten Plagues.
