* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': PlayedForDrama with Catra's relationships with Scorpia and Entrapta as, despite often getting exasperated by them, she genuinely cares about them. However Catra only seems to realize how much she cares ''after'' she does something to damage the relationship (her emotional turmoil over Adora leaving does not help matters either). [[spoiler:In season three she impulsively tasers Entrapta to prevent her from warning Hordak about the dangers of the portal and then sends her to Beast Island to cover her tracks. She suffers from guilt and nightmares throughout season four over what she did to her causing her to lash out at any mention of Entrapta's name and tell Scorpia that they aren't friends. Eventually Scorpia leaves the Horde and losing the last friend she had causes Catra to spiral out of control and leave her a nervous wreck desperately trying to conquer Etheria to compensate for her pain. Fortunately neither Scorpia or Entrapta hold a grudge against her and, by the GrandFinale, seem to have forgiven her for how she treated them putting their friendship in a better place.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'': The trope is deconstructed by the title character, who was TaughtByTelevision but gradually realizes that reality is not like a sitcom. In "Free Churro", he discusses how he always wished deep down his whole life that his awful parents would show some [[PetTheDog small gesture of kindness]] to make up for [[AbusiveParents decades of treating him like garbage]], even though logically he knew it wouldn't. The point is moot unfortunately, because that moment never came, as both his parents died without ever showing him the slightest bit of kindness.

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': Milo and Lizbeth have these moments on occasion. She may be annoyed at his cluelessness and he may not catch on to her feelings, but it's clear they're close friends and care about each other. Milo's probably too proud to admit his feelings for Lizbeth, though.

He is not a bat, he is just a big old teddy bear!

-->'''[=BoJack=]:''' All I know about being good I learned from TV. And in TV, flawed characters are constantly showing people they care with these surprising grand gestures and I think a part of me still believes that's what love is. [[ThisIsReality But in real life, the big gesture isn't enough.]] You need to be consistent, you need to be dependably good, you can't just screw everything up then take a boat out into the ocean to save your best friend or solve a mystery and fly to Kansas, you need to do it every day, which is ''so'' hard. When you're a kid, you convince yourself the grand gesture could be enough, that even though your parents aren't what you need them to be over, and over, and ''over'' again, at any moment they might surprise you with something wonderful. I kept waiting for that, the proof that, even though my mother was a hard woman, deep down, she loved me, and cared about me, and wanted me to know that I made her life a little bit brighter. And even now, I find myself waiting.

* In the 1990 AnimatedAdaptation of ''Literature/AlexanderAndTheTerribleHorribleNoGoodVeryBadDay'', Anthony and Nick are usually [[BigBrotherBully Big Brother Bullies]] to Alexander, as in the book, and after Alexander and Nick's fight outside the dentist's office, all three boys sing a song about how they wish they were only children. But then they stop and think of all the fun things they often to together, and at the end of the song they make up and decide that they're happy to have each other as brothers after all. Meanwhile, their mother spends most of the day scolding Alexander (sometimes fairly, sometimes not), but at the very end when he goes to bed, she gives him a goodnight kiss, providing a RayOfHopeEnding that tomorrow might be a better day.
