Line 237:
* [[Dinotopia]]. Especially the very first one. A [[Utopia]] of poets, writers, artists, and scientists? With friendly dinosaurs? Brilliantly illustrated? Oh yes.
* ''[[The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou]]'' is like a happy, magical fairytale for grownups. Its whimsy and wonder are childlike without completely distancing oneself from adulthood.
* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish|So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish]]''. We've followed Arthur Dent through so very much, from his house (and subsequently his planet) being demolished, going insane, and being given more reasons to say "So this is it. We're going to die" than any man should have in his lifetime. And in a few months, he recovers his planet (and subsequently his home) and finds true love with someone so right for him that she even makes the idea of leaving Earth once more bearable. It's remarkably sweet and somehow feels right to the point where [[Deadpan Snarker|the narrator]] can concede the point without losing the wit or the trademark simile-ing everything to death.
* Connie Willis's ''[[Bellwether]]'' and ''[[To Say Nothing of the Dog]]''. Particularly the second - all her trademark screwball-comedy dialogue, a charming homage to Victorian and Edwardian literature, and even in the darker bits, there's a sense that everything will turn out OK. Also, fluffy kittens.
* [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]]'s ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' stories. They're just so innocent and silly that it's impossible not to smile through the whole thing.
Line 397:
* ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'', at least until you lose Baby Mario. Then it's pretty creepy.
** Try ''Yoshi's Story'', then. Eat fruit. Listen to happy music. Look at pretty pictures. <3!
** He also manages to carry it over to ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl''. Right after Link draws the Master Sword, usually a key point in his games, we see Yoshi... sleeping happily on a treestump.
*** And then Link gets attacked, and Yoshi just wanders up, still half-asleep, with an air that says, "Hey bro, what's goin' on over here? Oh, is that all? Cool, I'll give yez a hand."
* [[Hamtaro|Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak]], the adorable characters and the entire premise of helping bring the couples together, not to mention the "Duets" song
