* ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'':
** {{spoiler|His heart grew three sizes that day}}!
** Every last Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, were singing without any presents at all! [[The Grinch]] didn't stop Christmas from coming, it came! Somehow rather... it came just the same.
Line 176 ⟶ 177:
* ''[[Avenger Penguins]]'' - the Xmas Special has Doom about to demolish the diner that is the meeting-place of many of the show's good guys. As the Penguins watch, the Evil Rival Bikers that they've battled so often roar up. Marlon is furious, believing them to be working as hired muscle for Doom. But then the leader quietly says that they're there to SUPPORT the Penguins and their friends. "We holy fools..." Excuse me, I have something in my eye...
* Oddly enough, ''[[Camp Lazlo]]'' had one. On 'Wedding Bell Blues', when {{spoiler|Lumpus was actually going to marry Jane, but was so humiliated when she got stuck in Raj's nose that he called it off and stormed out.}}
{{quote|
'''Lumpus''': {{spoiler|It's not?}}
'''Raj''': {{spoiler|No. It's about two crazy kids stuck in a crazy world, who are crazy about each other!}} }}
** Aw. The real moment, though, was when {{spoiler|Lumpus realized Raj is right, and proposed to Jane all over again.}}
Line 186 ⟶ 187:
** Not to mention the elderly woman reuniting with her long dead lover, in a not-so-subtle shout out to [[Gone with the Wind]].
** One for Victor and Victoria: "Perhaps, under the circumstances -- you c-could call me -- Victoria." Their first meeting is so sweet.
** And one for Victor and Emily: "Pardon my enthusiasm." "I like your enthusiasm." They're adorable too. This movie is the reason I love [[
* The beginning of the Exodus in ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'', when -- as part of the song "When You Believe" -- the departing Hebrew slaves burst into joyous song in their native tongue. Hm. Come to think of it, the ''whole'' of "When You Believe". One particularly powerful moment is when the Hebrews pass a couple of Egyptian guards, and the two men drop their spears and begin to walk along with the Hebrews.
** This Troper is always choked up by "Through Heaven's Eyes," chronicling Moses's courtship and eventual marriage of Tzipporah.
Line 193 ⟶ 194:
* ''[[An American Tail]]'' is chock full of them.
** Fievel finally finding his family. Even if you knew it was going to happen all along, there was not a dry eye in the theaters when it finally did.

* Jim Davis has said that he created [[Garfield]] solely to make money, but [[Sylocat|this Troper]] maintains that the person who wrote ''A Garfield Christmas'' isn't a ''complete'' hack. First, they present the standard "true meaning of Christmas" Aesop in a more subtle, down-to-Earth way, instead of the cold, sterile [[Stock Phrase]]-laden [[Anvilicious|Anviliciousness]] of most Christmas specials. Garfield doesn't need to "[[A Christmas Carol|learn the true meaning of Christmas]]" or "[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|awaken some long-forgotten corner of his heart]]" or any of that, it's made plain that he knows it and agrees with it right from the start and he's just too sarcastic to say it out loud. But that's just a little thing; it's the final twist, where Garfield's present to Grandma is {{spoiler|her 50-year-old collection of her now-dead husband's love letters from when they were first courting, that Garfield found in a box in the barn while trying to figure out what Odie was making}}, that makes it brilliant.
* The [[Christmas Special]] ''[[The Town Santa Forgot]]'' tells the story of a greedy boy named Jeremy Creek who writes a really long letter to Santa, requesting every single toy he can think of. When Santa passes him by on Christmas Eve, he is greatly upset at first. The next morning, he finds out from a TV report that the toys he wanted were delivered to a poor swamp town that happens to have the same name as him (which Santa had forgotten to visit previously). When the kids in the swamp town say they want to say thanks to whoever wrote to Santa about them, it makes him feel better than any toy could and teaches him the joy of giving. And that is why ''The Town Santa Forgot'' is the best half-hour show to ever come from [[Hanna-Barbera]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRJohy5kN0Y This moment] in ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]''. "You're my mom, you're my dad, and you're my picket fence!"
** Also, see the beginning of Super Robotnik when Coconuts complains aobut Robotnik always giving him the shaft. Remember, Coconut's is the smartest badnik of the team, and he [[The Woobie|REALLY dosn't do anything to hinder the process of Robotnik's plans, yet he keeps getting demoted.]] Now look at his face when he get's promoted. PURE. HAPPINESS> Coconuts only wanted a promotion, and when you see the end when Robotnik restores Scratch and Grounder back to their posistions, relized Coconuts will become Janitor once more. And when you see Robo-Ninjas when {{spoiler|Sonic tricks Coconut's after saying he'll teach him how to be a ninja after getting the shaft again by falling into water, see the rest of the episodes including Christmas Blast, notice a lack of Coconuts. Sonic KILLED Coconuts.}} Now who's the [[Jerkass]] and who's [[The Woobie]]?
* A musical episode of the Canadian cartoon ''Kevin Spencer'' featured Kevin and his fat mother Anastasia leaving their father/husband Percy after they become sick of their crappy home lives. It doesn't go well, with Kevin ending up in an orphanage, Anastasia ending up on the streets after a rich man's attempt to [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|reform her]] fail miserably, and Percy ends up in jail on drunk and disorderly charges. The Spencers all realize that they're even worse off separate, and so they reunite at the Camel Toe Inn in a rousing song-and-dance finale, knowing that if they're going to be miserable, they might as well be miserable together.
* In [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'' when {{spoiler|the Other Wybie helps Coraline back into her world, even though she ends up going back later to retrieve her parents.}} Though you ''might'' say it was ruined by the fact that {{spoiler|the Other Mother [[Redemption Equals Death|turns him into dust]] as punishment for helping her.}}
** Or you might say it was strengthened by the fact that {{spoiler|the Other Wybie knew what the Other Mother would do to him and [[Heroic Sacrifice|helped Coraline anyway]].}}
Line 210 ⟶ 211:
** With their [[Right Through His Pants|jeans still on]], no less.
* ''[[Yellow Submarine]]'' is already on the Film section to the list, but here's another example: After "Nowhere Man", Jeremy Hillary Boob, Phd., has realized how lonely he is living in the middle of nowhere, and starts to break into sobs. The other Beatles make it perfectly clear that they just want to get going and leave him behind, but Ringo feels sorry for Jeremy and asks him to come along. Jeremy is so surprised that they'd accept a "nowhere man", and Ringo just seals the moment with one last pun: "Yeah, c'mon, we'll take you someplace."
* The scene near the end of the ''[[
* ''[[Sat AM Sonic the Hedgehog]]'': Whenever Tails calls Sally "Aunt Sally," I can't decide whether to smile at the sweetness of it or [[Tear Jerker|cry]] for these kids who have lost their parents and become a ragtag family who look out for each other and love each other so much.
** There's a quite poignant moment in one episode wherein Tails, clearly painted as the only "real" kid among the Freedom Fighters, befriends an animal, only to be told that it is supposed to be migrating and they have to take it back to its mother. Sonic, in his usual big brotherly fashion tries to break it to him by saying "he would miss his mommy." Tails' response? "I miss my mommy too." No flashbacks. No elaboration. No remark from Sonic. Just that small, somber line that reminds you of the evil dictator out there destroying everything he touches. It's [[Tear Jerker|heartbreaking]], but it does make it so much sweeter when he refers to Bunnie and Sally as "aunt". As far as the Freedom Fighters are concerned, they ARE all family.
Line 220 ⟶ 221:
** "I am ''not'' a gun."
* [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|"For it is plain as anyone can see, we're simply meant to be."]]
* Even [[Johnny Test]] has one of these. In the episode Bath Time For Johnny, Dukey is crying because Johnny forgot his birthday so a squirrel gives him a nut with a candle in it.
** Not to mention how {{spoiler|Johnny manages to get an indoor water park for his best friend as a birthday gift}}.
* In the end of ''[[The Critic]]'' episode "Lady Hawke," Jay Sherman confesses to his personal assistant Alice Tompkins that he loves her. He gives her a white rose and reads her a poem ("The woman I love will be my best friend. We'll make each other laugh, and I'll never be lonely again. Her name will be Alice, and she'll have a sweet Southern accent, and I hope she'll love me too.") Alice becomes completely touched, and she and Jay share a kiss.
Line 226 ⟶ 227:
*** "Oh Jay, you're the sweetest man who ever called me a super freak."
* The end of the [[Aaahh Real Monsters]] episode "Blind Love, Monster Love"

** Doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]].
* In the [[El Tigre]] [[Halloween Episode]] ''the Grave Escape'', Manny and Frida have just left the land of the dead with the Rivera's ancestors. While the reunion between Rondolfo, Manny, and the other heros and villains, there's obviously some tension between Manny's evil grandpapi, Puma Loco, and Justice Jaguar, ''his'' heroic father...
{{quote|
'''Jaguar:'''....''(Spitefully)'' Son.

'''Jaguar:''' ''(Tearfully)'' Son!

* The ''[[

'''Rudy:''' * awakens* What do you want me to say? * both smile* . }}
* [[Rocko's Modern Life]] gets a lot during the Christmas special. Especially {{spoiler|Mr. Bighead's reaction to finally getting the invitation.}}
* An old MGM cartoon, ''"Li'l 'Tinker"'', about a lovesick skunk, has a sweet ending when he finally gets a girl...made very effective coming on the heels of a ''[[Tex Avery]]'' barrage of horrified reaction gags, insane lust gags, and increasingly morbid "Frank Sinatra is skinny" gags - it's one of this troper's favorites.
* Even ''[[Pepe Le Pew]]'' had one - in a story set in New Orleans, a girl cat is born with a white stripe down her back, which repels any potential suitor. Dejected and miserable, she sees Pepe from a distance, squeals like a schoolgirl, and goes running for him. He naturally runs for her and Wham! they're in each others' arms, spinning to a stop. This bliss lasts maybe five seconds before she [[Incredibly Lame Pun|gets wind of the situation]]...but she's determined to make a go of it. This troper hopes they came to a good conclusion.
** The result was that Pepe got his scent removed by locking himself at a deodorizer plant, while the cat (named Fabrette) locks herself in a Limburger factory, coming out with a ''really'' bad smell. The irony of it is when they reunite, he takes a whiff of her and runs away, while Fabrette is the one chasing him in the end.
* The first chronological appearance of Splinter in the 2003 [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] in "Tale of Master Yoshi." Awww ...
* One ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' episode has Jackie poisoned with a toxin that's going to slowly [[Taken for Granite|petrify him]], unless he offers to exchange the Talismans for the antidote -he's refusing to even consider making the deal. Jade is not so accepting of this, and they end up sitting in a park after dark with her almost ''begging'' him to make the deal. The phrase ''"I don't want a boulder for an uncle!"'' was a lot more heartwarming than it honestly has any right to be.
** When they're not driving each other to distraction (which is most of the time), the Chan [[Quirky Household|family]] in general tend to pull out a good few CMOH.
* An animated short that [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|hasn't shown up on the internet at all]] called something along the lines of "Seven Wishes" is about a girl named Jenny who is given a magical flower with seven petals and she gets seven wishes. There's a series of adventures in it, and throughout the short she teases a kid named Victor who is sitting on a bench in the park reading, which Jenny finds weird because it's a perfectly good day outside. Series of adventures, she has just one wish left and comes back one last time to tease him. Victor has enough and decides to go home, so he closes his book...then [[Ill Girl|pulls out a pair of crutches from underneath the bench]] and begins to walk home on those. Jenny then uses her [[Selfless Wish|last wish]].
{{quote|
* One episode of ''[[Lloyd in Space]]'' shows a flashback to when Lloyd was a kid and had a crush on [[Alpha Bitch]] Brittany. In the flashback Brittany catches him carving "Lloyd loves Brittany" into a tree and he runs off crying. In the episode Brittany gets hit with a love beam that causes her to fall desperately in love with Lloyd but near the end of the episode she takes him to the tree with the initials and pulls the branches back to reveal she's written {{spoiler|Brittany loves Lloyd too}}.
