* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'': AUTO's refusal to let humans return to Earth is depicted as him being unable to see beyond his programming and adapt to a changing situation. However, the only basis for Earth being able to support life is the existence of one single plant in the vast, polluted wasteland that the planet has become. Add to this that the humans have atrophied to the point that they can barely walk under their own power, and that they are also so ignorant that their Captain thinks that pizza grows on plants. In the light of all this, the idea that these humans could survive on Earth is highly implausible, and the Captain's insistence on returning seems suicidally overconfident. Reportedly, test audiences for the film also thought that the humans would die within months of arriving back at Earth.

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs'': Sid found three lonely eggs underground and the legitimate mother didn't actually bothered to find them until they were born, he has every reason to believe they were abandoned and that he was doing the right thing by adopting them. And while [[BullyingADragon denying a dinosaur of his babies isn't a wise choice]], he's not wrong he was the one who took care of them until they were born and therefore are his sons.

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs'': Sid Sid's arguments for adopting the eggs are dismissed by the narrative as him making a irrational choice for being at the verge of a personal crisis as well as being...well, [[TheDitz Sid]], but his actions are fairly reasonable, he found three lonely eggs underground and the legitimate mother didn't actually bothered to find them until they were born, he has every reason to believe they were abandoned and that he was doing the right thing by adopting them. And while [[BullyingADragon denying a dinosaur of his babies isn't a wise choice]], he's not wrong he was the one who took care of them until they were born and therefore are his sons.

* ''WesternAnimation/LegendsOfOzDorothysReturn'': The appraiser -- while still abrasive and crooked -- is perfectly justified in listing the Gale home as uninhabitable and dangerous after it gets wrecked by the tornado. Dorothy's insistence that she can fix it herself comes off as naive and hysterical (not helped by his appearance immediately being followed by Dorothy trying and failing to fix things), and the film has to resort to revealing that the appraiser is actually a con artist so he won't come off as more reasonable.

**Pete may be a JerkAss, and while his own parenting borders on flat out emotional abuse, he still does have some valid points. He is not wrong to point out Goofy needs to be more assertive and while Goofy knows Max loves him, Pete is right to point out he also needs to have Max's respect and Max's lack of respect is the reason Max changes the map.

* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'':
** Manchester Black may be a WellIntentionedExtremist lambasted by Superman for his unethical and amoral methods, but it's also shown that some of his questionable actions have prevented worse harm in the future.
--->'''Manchester Black:''' People don't want babysitters in spandex to spank them when they're bad. They want surgeons to cut out the cancers that fester in us and make sure they never come back.
** He also points out that despite Superman's disapproval of lethal force, he still supports a system that has no such qualms.
--->'''Superman:''' You can't murder people and call yourselves heroes!\\
'''Manchester Black:''' Why not? Your government does it all the time.
