History NiceGuy / FIlm

* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback Of Notre Dame|Disney}}'' has Esmeralda. It's telling that when Quasimodo accidentally crashes into her tent while she was changing, her immediate response is to check Quasimodo for injuries.

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' have three in the characters of Peter Quill aka Star Lord, Drax and Groot (especially as adult). Drax will make poor decisions regarding avenging his family but expresses great remorse when it comes back to bite him, [[BrutalHonesty but his honesty]] and LiteralMinded nature makes him more endearing when he expresses how much he cares for his friends. Star Lord’s inherently good nature actually becomes one of his "flaws" [[spoiler: as the death of his loved ones causes him [[BerserkButton lash out with hesitation]] as in his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome regarding his [[YouKilledMyFather mother's death]] in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' and ruining him the HopeSpot in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' when he learns Thanos has killed Gamora and lashes out at the worst possible moment]]. Groot is all around a good being, he is FriendToAllChildren and willingly sacrifice his life for his beloved friends. [[spoiler: Even as a sulky teen Groot didn’t hesitate for a moment cutting his own arm off to make a handle for Stormbreaker which would revive Thor]].

** In the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' franchise, we have Rex (the kindest character in the movies), Buzz Lightyear, Andy Davis, Slinky Dog, Bullseye, Woody (since ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''), Bo Peep, Barbie and Forky.

* ''Film/SaveTheDate'': Jonathan is really kind, patient and supporting. Sarah can hardly believe it, saying there must be some hidden flaw that she isn't seeing. There's none evident though-he's just that good. He even gracefully forgives her ex-boyfriend Kevin for hitting him jealously with no hesitation, understanding completely.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' franchise, we have Rex (the kindest character in the movies), Buzz Lightyear, Andy Davis, Slinky Dog, Bullseye, Woody (since ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''), Bo Peep, Barbie and Forky.

* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'': [[MrFixIt Felix]]. This ends up [[NiceJobBreakingItHero causing most of the plot]]: because he's such a nice guy, he's an ExtremeDoormat to the Nicelanders. As such, even though he tries to be nice to Ralph he can't be completely because of their pressuring him to exclude Ralph for being the [[PunchClockVillain bad guy]]. Ralph is friendly with another videogame characters, but to a more natural degree than Felix, because he is not above showing anger or annoyance.

** Elsa herself is a downplayed example in that she is compassionate and she truly cares for her own subjects including her sister but she is forced to drive everyone away from her life so that she would not harm them with her own powers. Her nice traits gets played up more once she defrosts and in many post movie scenes, she often uses her ice powers to entertain her people or just to solve their issues and at one point, tries to give Anna the best birthday ever in spite of her own sickness.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Home}}'':

* ''Film/{{Howl}}'': Matthew seems to be about the only genuinely decent passenger toward Joe with no disgusting habits before the crisis hits.

** ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' has Mei, Miriam, Priya and Abby. Mei's a bit self-confident but otherwise shown to be very kind-hearted, friendly and optimistic, while her friends are defined by their good character; they're shown throughout the film to be supportive and encouraging of Mei as she learns to control her panda, and [[spoiler:even after the PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure, Miriam still takes care of Mei's Tamagotchi]].

*** Cruz Ramirez, Smokey and the Legends from ''Cars 3''.
** Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex, Bo Peep, and Slinky Dog from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. Woody developed into this by the third movie.
** Flik from ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', in spades. Heimlich, Slim, and [[GentleGiant Dim]] qualify as well.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' has Mr. Incredible, Dash, Frozone and Tony Rydinger. Winston Deavor in the [[WesternAnimation/Incredibles2 sequel]] qualifies too.

** Jessie, Rex, Bo Peep, and Slinky Dog from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.

** Jessie, Rex and Slinky Dog from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''.

** Bruce Banner, especially Mark Ruffalo's portrayal. It's what makes his transformation into the Hulk and rampage so startling. Bruce’s attitude to Tony and Cap splitting up the Avengers is also telling as he finds it ludicrous in the face of a greater threat.

* ''Film/GirlsLoveMagic'': Maggie is very kind, adopting a dog then coming over to befriend Jamie when she's just broken up with Casey out of compassion. She tells her boyfriend she's happiest while caring for something else.

* ''Film/EddieTheEagle'': Eddie is extremely sweet and earnest about everything he does, which is a part of what makes him such a PR darling at the Olympics.

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' have three in the characters of Peter Quill aka Starlord, Drax and Groot (especially as adult). Drax will make poor decisions regarding avenging his family but expresses great remorse when it comes back to bite him, [[BrutalHonesty but his honesty]] and LiteralMinded nature makes him more endearing when he expresses how much he cares for his friends. Starlord's inherently good nature actually becomes one of his "flaws" [[spoiler: as the death of his loved ones causes him [[BerserkButton lash out with hesitation]] as in his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome regarding his [[YouKilledMyFather mother's death]] in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' and ruining him the HopeSpot in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' when he learns Thanos has killed Gamora and lashes out at the worst possible moment]]. Groot is all around a good being, he is FriendToAllChildren and willingly sacrifice his life for his beloved friends. [[spoiler: Even as a sulky teen Groot didn’t hesitate for a moment cutting his own arm off to make a handle for Stormbreaker which would revive Thor]].

** Thor qualifies once he undergoes CharacterDevelopment and [[TookALevelInKindness takes a level in kindness]] like Tony. As the movies go on Thor becomes as worthy of Captain American of being considered a HairOfGoldHeartOfGold person willingly to forgive his power mad brother, refuse the throne knowing how corrupting it is and is one the few Avengers to remain a honest person. ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' turn him into one of the biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]] in the [=MCU=] as he loses literally [[TraumaCongaLine everything]] in a short period of time.

* ** While they act creepy and vaguely threatening at first (not leaving the best first impression on Shaggy and Scooby), the girls at Miss Grimwood's in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool'' ultimately prove to be very nice. Special mention goes to Dracula's daughter Sibella, who is always supportive, polite and cheerful.
