* ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'': Right as the titular family is about to reach safety, the ground around them starts to crack. Grug offers a Heroic Sacrifice, where he'll throw the rest of his family to the other side of the canyon while he stays behind. When almost everyone is thrown, Eep is the only one left. As they say goodbye, Grug and Eep embrace for the first hug, with Grug himself even coining the term (because it rhymes with Grug). Thankfully, Grug eventually finds another way there and reunites with his family.

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate3'': Upon completing the first part of Karlach's personal quest to fix the Infernal Engine she has in place of a heart, you can test whether or not it's working by giving her a very emotional hug. As this is the first human(oid) contact she's had since it was installed, she is very worked up about it.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[spoiler:In the ending, [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]] has to go back home from Amphibia, which means that she must give a heartfelt goodbye to the Planters.

* ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'': In the episode Delivery Dilemma, after Tiff finds Kirby with the noodles that he didn’t deliver to King Dedede yesterday, she apologizes to him saying that he wasn’t able to resist eating the noodles. However, as both of them get ready to go home, as Tiff picks up the noodle box, she expected it to be empty and when she opens it, she finds that it hasn’t been eaten by Kirby since yesterday. That is when she gives him the hug because he really is a professional and he really did put in all his trust in her.
