** When [[spoiler:Toon Doom]] reactivates the Dip, Roger has tucked Jessica onto his lap, lifting her away from the Dip. He's ready to put his life on the line if it means his wife gets a little longer to be saved.

** When he sees the pictures of Jessica and Marvin, Roger insists that it must not be what it looks like, that someone must've forced her into it somehow. Eddie takes this as denial, as does most of the audience on their first viewing, but we later find out he was ''right''; Maroon blackmailed Jessica into posing for the pictures. Roger's faith in his marriage was well-founded, and he knows his wife well enough to know she would never, ''ever'' cheat on him willingly.
** It's also touching that Jessica was willing to put herself through something so unpleasant and potentially humiliating for the sake of her husband's career, because she knows how much Roger loves his job.
** After seeing the pictures, Roger heads to the club to talk to Jessica and find out what happened. When she's not in her dressing room, he decides to write her a note--specifically, a note about how much he loves her, because he knows she's not to blame for the situation. ''That'' is trust and devotion.
--->'''Eddie:''' You mean to tell me that in a fit of jealous rage, you wrote your wife a love letter?



* When Eddie enters Toon Town to chase after Jessica (whom he thought killed Maroon), he’s greeted by a trio of hummingbirds. Despite Eddie not being in Toon Town or associating with Toons after his brother’s death, he’s still welcomed into Toon Town.

** This bit is poignant for several reasons actually. First off, when the movie starts, the two seem to be arguing because Dolores has loaned Eddie money that could cost her the job at the bar, so this scene implies that Eddie has finally realized how much he has put Dolores through and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy cares enough to ask her to seek her own happiness because he's done dragging her through the mud]]. Secondly, however, Dolores' comment shows that she [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre still sees the good in him and still cares about him, despite all he's put her through]].

* Mixed as a funny moment. Jessica knocking out Roger and putting him in the trunk of her car for his safety. She cares enough about her husband to protect him from harm. Also, considering the Weasels and Doom were actively looking for Roger, she was right to be worried about him.

** Even before Delores shows up, after Roger asks Eddie straight-up about what happened to him that led to his hatred of toons, Eddie decides to come clean and reveals what happened to his brother, Teddy. This is heartwarming for two reasons:
*** 1.) Despite how he's treated Roger up to that point in the movie, Eddie (at least one some level) seems to feel comfortable enough around Roger to tell him something extremely personal (and something that's implied to have happened relatively recently).

* This may not seem like much, but maybe the first heartwarming moment was when Eddie met Westernnimation/BettyBoop in the Ink and Paint Club as a cigarette girl. He's shocked to see her there, and Betty explains that works been a bit slow for her since technicolor cartoons have become the norm. But being who she is, Betty keeps an upbeat attitude giving him her trademark 'boop-boop-be-do-boop'. Eddie, the guy who at that point despised any and all toons that he met, actually gives her a genuine smile and remarked, "Yeah, you still got it." Says a lot for the guy that early on.
