History Heartwarming / TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe

* It's clear in this adaptation that Tumnus could have delivered Lucy to the White Witch easily. He had her under his spell thanks to the flute magic, and she was just sitting placidly. Then he starts crying, realizing he can't do it, snaps his fingers, and frees her. Tumnus confesses and says that now he knows how nice humans are, he can't let the Witch hurt her.

-->'''Peter':'' [[CallBack When are you gonna learn to do as you're told?]]

--> '''The Professor:''' She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family. You might want to try acting like one.

--> '''Mr. Tumnus''': Here. (''gives Lucy her handkerchief back'') [[{{MeaningfulEcho}} You need it more than I do.]]

* The morning after Edmund is returned to them, he sheepishly apologizes to his siblings for all the grief he's caused them. Instead of chastising him even further, Lucy - who has all the reason in the world to hate him - simply runs up to him and wraps him in a big hug - and [[{{HatesBeingTouched}} Edmund]] pulls her in even tighter. Susan follows suit and embraces both of them, clearly relieved to have her brother back as well. And although Peter isn't as open in displaying his emotions, it's extremely obvious that a burden's been lifted off his shoulders.

* Just look at Lucy's face when Aslan calls her "Queen Lucy the Valiant."

* Anytime the Pevensies hug. Especially Peter [[spoiler: in tears after Edmund comes back from the dead hugging his brother.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Peter:''' [[{{IronicEcho}} Why can't you just do as you're told?]] ]]

--> "Are you with me?"
--> "To the death."

--> '''Peter''': [[CallBack When are you gonna learn to do as you're told?]]

-->'''Peter:''' You wouldn't believe us if we told you, sir.
-->''(The Professor simply tosses Peter his ball, the one they'd been playing with earlier, implicitly showing that he knows what happened but isn't going to do anything about it.)''
-->'''The Professor:''' ''(with a knowing smile)'' ''Try me.''

--> I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result, you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound, you will be older still. But someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be

* That beautiful scene with Rumblebuffin-a ''literal'' GentleGiant, who, when Lucy offers him her handkerchief, takes it and rubs his face. This would be heartwarming enough as it is...and then Lewis points out that, seeing as he's a giant, it's probably of barely any use to him at all, but he earnestly thanks her for it.
* Aslan sacrificing himself for Edmund, particularly when you look at it from a theological point of view. Considering that he's supposed to be [[{{UsefulNotes/Jesus}} Jesus]] as a lion, C.S. Lewis is implying that if Jesus once again found that the only way to save a sinful person was to die a humiliating death for them, ''he would do it all over again without hesitating.'' And this isn't even all of humanity, like in the Bible. This was all for ''one person.''

* Aslan taking what must have been a few hours to talk to and care for Edmund, who's just been rescued from the witch - no matter that Ed got ''himself'' into that one, no matter that all the battle planing is put on hold: everything else can wait or is unimportant to Aslan when someone needs him.

* Lewis' opening letter to his goddaughter, saying that by the time he's done writing the book she'll probably be too old for it (which, given the book's reception, was ultimately probably not something he even needed to worry about), but eventually she'll be old enough for it again and can read it back to him.

* After the Pevensies are hiding in fear of an approaching sleigh (presuming it could be the Witch), Mr. Beaver braves a look and then merrily tells everyone to come out. It turns out the sleigh is Father Christmas' instead, who is finally able to enter Narnia after so long and he has presents for everyone.

* There is a small moment where Mrs. Macready takes Lucy to get some cocoa. Although it's at the professor's orders, she still comforts Lucy. It seems that she may be a stern housekeeper, but still will feel empathy for a crying girl.
** The Professor too, when Lucy clings to him while crying. He's very surprised but he takes care not to distress her. He gently asks Mrs. Macready to get her some hot chocolate, the best remedy for when you're crying.

** A little blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but as soon as Lucy sees Edmund talking to Aslan, she gleefully yells his name and makes to run to him, with Peter being the only thing stopping her from doing so.
* If you look closely, you'll see that Mr. Tumnus at the end has gold tips added to the stumps of his horns, replacing those the Witch had sawn off during his captivity. His friends the Pevensies not only repaired his deformity, but did it in such a way to honor Tumnus' great heroism.

* The first stone victim the girls see in the Witch's castle is Mr. Tumnus. Unfortunately, in sharp contrast to the book (when she knows Aslan will resurrect him) Lucy starts crying, thinking he's dead and Susan comforts her, kissing her on the head in a very sweet and motherly fashion. Then, Aslan turns him back. Cue hugs all around.
** Also when he is turned back from being stone, he falls into Lucy's arms, and she is the first person he sees. Lucy then attempts to introduce Susan to him but Susan interrupts her saying "Mr Tumnus, I know" and throws her arms around the faun she's never even met.

* In the hunt scene before the Pevensies return to their normal lives, Edmund's horse seems to be having trouble so he slows down briefly. The horse is then revealed to be Phillip, the horse Edmund learned to ride on; apparently Phillip forgave him for calling him a "horsey".

* A lot of moments Peter has with Lucy. He is the first to offer an apology to her after visiting Narnia himself. When boarding the train he leans down to comfort her. After some initial reluctance, he happily starts counting to play hide-and-seek at her suggestion. And he stops to give her a piggyback when he, Susan and Lucy are travelling with the beavers.

* The Professor's talk with Susan and Peter.
--> '''The Professor:''' She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family. You might want to try acting like one.
* Lucy and Susan bonding right before Maugrim attacks them. Susan apologises for not having as much fun with Lucy as she used to. The two sisters then have a brief waterfight. Aww.

* The Pevensies waving goodbye to their mother. In the book their parents were barely mentioned at best. Here we actually see her say goodbye to and hug them individually, and the Pevensies all squash together to lean out of a train window and wave goodbye to her from the station.

--> "You wouldn't believe us if we told you sir."
--> ''"Try me."''

* Mr. Tumnus and Lucy holding hands at the end.

** And when Lucy gets dubbed "the valiant", the lock of shocked glee on her face is utterly adorable.

--> The Professor: She's your sister, isn't she? You're her family. You might want to try acting like one.

* The Pensive's waving goodbye to their mother. In the book their parents were barely mentioned at best. Here we actually see her say goodbye to and hug them individually, and the Pensive's all squash together to lean out of a train window and wave goodbye to her from the station.
