History Heartwarming / TheMuppets

* In a more Meta example, the fast that there hasn't been a ton of [[NostalgiaFilter nostalgic uproar]] about the film is quite heartwarming inane of itself.

** [[spoiler: Then afterwards when they walk outside and find a FanMob outside waiting for them, cheering loudly and holding up signs... [[TearJerker *sniff*]]]]

** Because, in fact, it was Jim's favorite song. Awww..

* The way Kermit, after thanking Walter for helping him get the gang back together atain, tells him "welcome aboard" -- no fanfare, no big speech. Walter is shocked; it's been a life-long dream of his to be accepted among the Muppets, and to Kermit it almost goes without saying that of ''course'' he's welcome to the team.

* The Muppets did various cross promotions for this movie, including (at one point) appearing on ProfessionalWrestling shows. The people doing the most fan-squeeing? ''The wrestlers''.

** That gave me goosebumps. MAJOR goosebumps.

* The various {{Shout Out}}s to Jim Henson, especially seeing the photo of him posing with Kermit right in the middle of all the other celebrity photos on Kermit's wall.

* Veronica's [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]] over the course of the telethon, until she's openly cheering for the Muppets after their performance of "The Rainbow Connection."

** What's particularly showing is the number of big name celebrities that make guest appearances to show their support for the franchise...most with one or two minute appearances.

* The entire movie is this trope; reviving a dying franchise to its former glory for a brand-new generation while keeping to its old, much-cherished tone.

* In a crazy sort of way, the revelation that Gonzo [[spoiler:had been secretly dreaming of a reunion, and had worn his stage outfit under his suit for years.]]

** Even more as it's a {{Call Back}} to the song played at Jim Henson's funeral.

** Loved how the first version that Kermit sang became so memorable and uplifting? ''Try hearing a whole chorus of it!''
** Even better: In the theater this troper was in, just about every person above the age of 20 in the audience began to sing along near the end.
*** Definitely helped the in-universe audience go "ALL MY MONEY" and boosted the donations!

* "Maybe you don't need the whole world to love you. Maybe you just need one person..."

-->'''Kermit:''' I believe in you...and you...and you, and all of you.

The speech Kermit gives to the Muppets after the telethon ends.

* The moment when Kermit takes out his half of the photo of himself and Piggy. And from behind him, hears her softly say, "You saved it...". When he turns around, she is holding up her half and they put the two pieces together. Sweeeeeeet.

--> '''Fozzie:''' [without missing a beat] Hi-ho, Kermit. [[{{beat}}]] Kermit?!

* "Pictures in My Head," in which Kermit recounts how even though the other Muppets' acts would drive him crazy, he couldn't live without them.

** Along the same scene,Floyd [[spoiler:giving Animal his old drumsticks back, saying that he'd been saving them for years and]] telling him "You know what to do." It's a very sweet nod to the two's long friendship.

* This movie [[PlayingWithATrope plays around with]] NarmCharm, and there are a lot of moments like this involving Walter and his AscendedFanboy-ness.
