* The KingdomHearts series is well-known for its love of ThePowerOfFriendship and an unironic use of a WideEyedIdealist as a main character. In KingdomHearts3D, however, the villains depend on both to lure the main character deeper and deeper into a dream without end, [[spoiler: with the goal of [[GrandTheftMe taking over his heart and body.]]]] They are defeated once again, though, by ThePowerOfFriendship. How? [[spoiler: Because friends are there for one another, and there's no way in Hell that [[TheLancer Riku]] will let some sadistic monsters take over [[DecoyProtagonist his best friend.]]]]
** On a much smaller scale this also plays out over the course of a single conversation between Xigbar and Sora late in the game. Xigbar points out that if Sora's power comes from his friends [[TheUnchosenOne then he doesn't have any of his own]], obviously trying to send Sora into a HeroicBSOD... which Sora ''completely ignores'', retorting without any hesitation that that makes him part of something bigger than himself and he's totally cool with that. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome This is followed by a shot of the entire cast assembled behind Sora, ready to kick ass and take names.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' actually reminds us what power [[TheHighQueen the queen]] wields, but the wild RebelliousPrincess protagonist is not exactly wrong in not wanting to go through ArrangedMarriage.
* ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' arguably also has elements of this for Disney movies, though in a different way than the above. While {{Disney Princess}}es have a reputation for waiting around for whatever they want, Tiana is a borderline workaholic; Naveen, meanwhile, is a spoiled lothario, and their attempt at forcing TrueLovesKiss only makes everything worse. By the end, however, they're in love, get married and everything works out like in your average Disney fairy tale.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' deconstructs [[GenreDeconstruction the superhero genre]] for the first half of the movie, with massive public backlash against superheroes, the heroes pretending to be normal and hating it, etc. Then the second half of the movie throws this aside and it's a race to stop the supervillain, showing that when there ''is'' a psycho maniac out there willing to kill hundreds, then yeah, you kinda need the superheroes.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarePantsMovie'' can be seen as this for the [[SpongeBobSquarePants show it's based on]].
