* ''[[Yellow Submarine]]'' - When [[The Beatles]] tell the defeated Blue Meanies that they can be forgiven for conquering Pepperland and live there in peace and the Meanies accept. Particularly powerful, because the head of the Blue Meanies reveals that his cousin is the Bluebird of ''Happiness'', and thus subverts one of the movie's primal leitmotifs- blue as a color of evil- by turning it into the color of happiness. Since when do the villains, once reformed, turn their powers around, rather than simply adopting the hero's powers and color set? |

* The 2008 ''[[Horton Hears a Who]]'' film [[Denouement]] right after Horton's claim about the Whos' existence is finally verified and the Kangaroo is reproached by the mob for the atrocity she almost made them commit. Horton notices she is alone and ashamed and approaches her with the Bunny Vlad's cookie to assure her that she is forgiven. For her part, she is deeply moved by this gesture and shelters the Whos' speck with a little umbrella. After which, Horton starts to sing "Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" where everyone sings praises that the long-suffering elephant so richly deserves. |
