History Main / InnocentBlueEyes

* ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'': Jim's (Creator/CillianMurphy) wide-open baby blues leave him looking innocent and rather bewildered (right up until the[[EyeScream ...rescue scene]]).

* ''Film/{{Atonement}}'''s Robbie Turner has an impressive pair of big blue eyes. It's coherent with the director's interpretation of him as a character TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth.

** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Charles Xavier's bright blue irises represent his goodness and naïvety. After the [[BreakTheCutie events of the film]], he is still as idealistic, but has been rather blind-sided by reality and is much more cautious and reserved.

* ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'': The male Super Readers, Whyatt/Super Why, Pig/Alpha Pig and Woofster, all have blue eyes. Whyatt is brainy, kind and heroic, Pig is vulnerable but brave and smart, and Woofster is playful.

* Matt Average and his mother from ‘’WesternAnimation/Matt’s Monsters’’ has them.

Innocent "baby blues" or clear, pure and shining, these eyes are blue to symbolize youth, naïveté, inexperience, and purity of soul. In extreme cases, may indicate HeavenlyBlue. This may derive from the fact that many babies (and not just human babies; non-human examples include cats, dogs, horses and crows) are born with blue eyes, due to them having no melanin in them, and later develop color from exposure to sunlight, symbolically "losing their innocence". Either way, [[BlueIsHeroic a popular choice for heroes, heroines]] and younger characters. In older works, gray eyes were used for this instead. Common with HairOfGoldHeartOfGold (or with RoseHairedSweetie, if the cast tends towards technicolor hair).

* Gaelyn matches her [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]], with a gorgeous set of warm blue eyes. And as usual for the series, she gets a series of close-ups that show them off to the most. See her entry in the [[Characters/EchoChamber Character Page]] for an example.

%%* Several Nintendo heroes, such as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] and [[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]], have blue eyes.

* Pit from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has big blue eyes that somehow reflect his friendly, innocent, and kind-hearted nature. He is, appropriately, a cute angel and the main protagonist of the story.

* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'', Lidelle is a blue-eyed {{demihuman}} who is a FriendToAllLivingThings, but ridiculously shy towards most others. She is still one of the nicest characters in the series, even showing a big-brother affection for Satan of all people when she discovers he has horns like hers (she's [[FreakinessShame ashamed of having horns]], so this comes as a pleasant surprise to her).
** Ess from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris'' subverts this as while she has blue eyes does look innocent, she is actually a massive {{Jerkass}}.

** There's also [[spoiler: Marle from VideoGame/PuyoPuyoTetris2, the [[PhysicalGod Will of the Worlds]] who also happens to be a total sweetheart that loves to have fun. Her eyes have more of an amethyst shade to them though.]]

* ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'': TheHero Shoutmon has blue eyes in his childlike normal form, but they become [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] or [[WindIsGreen green]] when he [[FusionDance fuses with his allies]] for battle. In the GrandFinale he enters a powered-up version of his [[AllYourPowersCombined ultimate combined form]], but in doing so transforms every part of his body ''[[EyesAreMental except]]'' [[EyesAreMental his eyes]], showing that he has truly grown into TheGoodKing of the Digital World.

* The Music/VelvetUnderground's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK4DeMYtumc Pale Blue Eyes]]" from ''Music/TheVelvetUnderground'' is a subversion. The mellow and soothing music leads one to think that this trope is in play, and from the lyrics you can tell that the narrator ''wants'' to believe this--but he can't, because the relationship can't last, because she's cheating on her husband with him.

** ComicBook/JimmyOlsen, originally written as a semi-naïve NiceGuy, has blue eyes (though they're not very obvious). While the naivete has fallen by the wayside, Jimmy still maintains the kindness and general good nature one would expect from [[IdealHero Superman's]] MuggleBestFriend.

* In the [[UsefulNotes/MormonCinema Mormon movie]] ''Joseph Smith: The Prophet of Restoration'', Smith himself is portrayed with bright greenish-blue eyes to emphasize his pure heartedness and virtue.

* {{Subverted}} with Ferahgo and his son Klitch in ''Literature/{{Redwall}}''; their blue eyes are only meant to make them seem innocent and friendly when in reality they're both ruthless killers.
