* The moment from the opening sequence of the revival series where Florence finds herself in the Magic Gardens while riding the Magic Roundabout after being magically teleported there by Zebedee and she is met with a warm welcome from everybody, especially Dougal who is genuinely excited to meet her. When he comes up to her as she is meeting the inhabitants, Florence gives him a nice comfort hug.

* In "No More Magic, Zebedee", although everyone is annoyed with Zebedee's mischief after he has magically taken their favourite things (due to him misunderstanding on what he sees and hears from a distance) and Mr. Rusty has a plan to strip Zebedee from his magic by removing the magic gasket from the Magic Roundabout to everyone's agreement, [[EveryoneHasStandards Florence is against this as she clearly doesn't like the idea of upsetting Zebedee]] despite being reassured that it is only temporarily, but she reluctantly goes along with it. That shows that Florence never wants to do anything to teach Zebedee a lesson whenever she gets annoyed with his mischief.

!! The 2005 film
* In the opening credits sequence, a short scene of Dougal sitting with Florence outside her house on the swing, telling her a funny joke which she giggles is just sweet.
* Brian, who has a crush on Ermintrude and while shy to confess his love, instantly coming to Ermintrude's rescue when Zeebad pulls on her tail just as she is rescuing Dougal from Zeebad's lair, and bites Zeebad on the arm to make him let go.
** Ermintrude repays the favour later by defending Brian from Zeebad as he was standing up to him.
* Halfway through the film, there is the daydream sequence with "Mr. Blue Sky" playing in the background. It starts off with Dougal playing with Florence as they run happily from her house towards the village where Zebedee arrives to take them all for a picnic.
** Dylan is then shown standing on top of the windmill playing a guitar in tune with the music as Florence plays ball with Dougal.
** Ermintrude singing the lyrics of the song whilst sitting on one of the windmill sails as Brain looks on with admire.
** Dougal getting everyone together for a group photo, which is then seen on the table inside Florence's house before the daydream sequence ends.
* Transitioning from a TearJerker moment, Dougal manages to wake a comatose Florence up by licking her face. When she wakes up fully conscious, she thanks Dougal for saving her life and everyone else's.
-->'''Dougal''': Oh, Florence, I thought I'd lost you forever!\\
'''Florence''': And I thought I'd lost you, too, Dougal. But you saved my life and everyone else's.\\
'''Dougal''': Oh, stop it. It's what any incredibly heroic dog would do.\\
'''Florence''': Oh. So, you don't want a...little reward?\\
'''Dougal''': Oh, no. I've learnt my lesson. I'm not having anything more to do with lollipops, or gobstoppers, or toffees.
* Zebedee reviving Sam in order to get the Magic Roundabout back working again. He does this by taking the third diamond out of its slot from the roundabout and placing it back into Sam's corpse. As Sam comes back to life, Zebedee says to him "It's time for you to return where you belong, Sam." and Sam nods in agreement before Zebedee reverts him back to his inanimate form and places him back on top of the roundabout.
* The ending when everyone rides on the roundabout, which is fully restored back to its former glory and functioning once again, is really happy and charming as the song "The Magic Roundabout" sung by Kylie Minogue (who provided the voice of Florence) plays.
** As Brian is riding on one of the horses on the roundabout, he gives Ermintrude a flower, which she gladly accepts and even kisses him.
** When Dougal is riding the roundabout with Florence, he notices that she is wanting to feed Dougal with a sugar cube, as she still wants to reward Dougal for saving her and those who are trapped on the roundabout. Though he resists at first, he jumps up and eats it from her hand, just as Florence giggles.

* The Nigel Planer version of "Once Upon a Time" has Dylan comforting Ermintrude, who was hurt when she witnesses Dougal talking rudely about her to Brian and Florence. He convinces her to be herself, no matter what others say before he picks some flowers as well as a tree for Ermintrude to eat as comfort food.

* In "Interior Des-aster", after Ermintrude accidentally ruins the interior of Brian's with Mr. Grimsdale's bike which made Brian very upset, Florence kindly invites Brian to stay over at her house while Ermintrude makes it up to Brian by redecorating his interior. [[NiceGuy This shows that in her character trait, Florence is definitely the nicest girl]] in the Enchanted Gardens where she cares for her friends when they are depressed.
* In "Vote for Me", after Dougal and Brian, who were both campaigning to be mayor, ended up drawing (which was all part of Florence's plan to get everyone to withdraw their votes from Dougal and Brian after seeing their competitive rivalry that caused chaos around the village) and Dougal was disappointed that he wanted to bury his bone somewhere, but Florence kindly informs him that can bury his bone in her garden. This shows how much she cares for Dougal within their relationship.
* In "The Party", it transitions from a tear jerker moment for Florence when she feels bad after she was so cross with everyone for avoiding her when she asks them to help her fix her fence, where everyone manages to surprise Florence with a thank-you party at her house just as Florence went through the gate. This instantly made Florence so happy that she forgets her moment of being upset that everyone avoided her and she thanks them for throwing a party for her. In addition, she decides not to go away to see some friends and instead celebrates with her friends.

* Near the end, when [[HeelFaceTurn Buxton]] [[TearsOfRemorse cries in remorse over his actions]] [[VillainousBSOD after having been stripped from his reign of power]], Mr. Rusty is the first to forgive him, despite everything that's happened. In the original French version, he even invites the cat to live him, so he can be tame.

Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope


* The relationship between Dougal and Florence. Despite his [[GrumpyBear grumpy]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold nature]], Dougal genuinely cares for Florence and is never rude to her like he tends to be with the others.

* The episode "Arthur" involves a baby penguin who unexpectedly arrives at Florence's doorstep. Everyone takes turns watching the little guy, but it seems that the penguin likes Dougal best. The usual GrumpyBear Dougal starts to warm up to the baby himself, and seeing them play together is really sweet to watch.
