=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* In ''[[KaBlam!]]'', when Henry and June think they made it to the real world, June says, "This is it, Henry...hold me!" as she hugs him excitedly. It really hints something, seeming as it becomes more official (of the duos relationship) as the show starts to end.
* An especially [[Tear Jerker]] one in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3]]'', when the toys all silently take each others hands as {{spoiler|they fall toward a garbage incinerator with seemingly no way out.}}
