History Heartwarming / Disney

** The tanner seems like just a terrifying villain, but after re-watching it, it seems like the tanner is actually a very decent man. He can tell the little boy is nervous, and while he's sharpening a knife the whole time he seems to make a conscious effort to be as nonthreatening as possible. When he realizes that the child doesn't understand who he is, he also explains "Boy... I'm a tanner. I only want him for his hide..." in as gentle a manner as possible when it would have been simple to just say "Sure thing, kid, I'll take real good care of him". Small One likely isn't the only old, loyal friend that he's had brought to him, and while the nature of his work doesn't let him have too much empathy for the donkey, the tanner is nevertheless a good man and the gentleness he showed the two is a welcome contrast to the mocking auctioneer later on.

* Heartwarming/TheSuiteLifeofZackandCody

* In ''Disney/BrotherBear'', when Koda snuggled up to Kenai, mumbling "I always wanted a brother..."

* ''Disney/LadyAndTheTramp'': Spaghetti kiss. Aww.

* ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'': The ending, when Pinocchio comes back to life as a real boy. Before that, it was believed that he died from the attack by Monstro after saving his father.

* Walt Disney's daughter, Diane Disney Miller, spent her last years reminding the public about the humanity obscured by her father's corporate image. One way she did this involved opening the Walt Disney Family Museum. She also recorded intros for the Diamond Blu-Ray Discs of her father's animated movies, placing each in the proper context of his career. She didn't live long enough to record intros for all of these releases, and by an unbelievable coincidence, the last release confirmed to have her is ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' -- the last animated movie made under Walt's supervision.

Say what you want about {{Disneyfication}}, but there's no denying the [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming warm and fuzzy feelings]] these moments from the best-known names in Western animation give us.

* While it might be a major MindScrew (It was a collaboration with Creator/SalvadorDali, after all. Yes, ''that'' Salvador Dalí), Destino also manages to be a major CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming once you start to figure out all the heavy symbolism. In particular, the final shot, [[ItMakesSenseInContext with the silhouette of the bell inside the statue's heart?]] D'awwwww. [[note]]If you're having some difficulty figuring out what all the symbolism means (it is pretty obtuse), it is, at heart, a [[MayflyDecemberRomance love story between a woman and the god Cronos.]][[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmcDfjaWrcY "The Whole World Wants to Wish You Happy Birthday, Mickey Mouse!"]] is a song made to honor [[MilestoneCelebration Mickey's 50th birthday]] back in [[TheSeventies 1978]]. It's catchy, and also [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming a very sweet tribute to him.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQ3WrrnkfA This song was also played during Mickey's 50th Birthday Celebration]] [[http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/70s/0111-0220-800.jpg and parade]] at [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland and Walt Disney World.]]
