Context Heartwarming / ReturnToOz

Go To

1* When Dorothy hugs Tik-Tok [[spoiler: as he sheds a tear of oil at the predicament of becoming an ornament.]] Bear in mind that Tik-Tok had previously said to a wheeler "I am only a machine, so I cannot be sorry or happy, no matter what happens".
2* The [[AffablyEvil Nome King]]'s PetTheDog moment: comforting Dorothy as she cries about the loss of the Scarecrow. If you look closely at his face during this scene, he actually sheds a tear -- of stone, granted -- indicating that for a moment, he felt genuine sympathy for her.
3** With this scene in mind, one almost has to wonder if his offer to let her out of the game and just send her home wasn't a ploy for manipulation but a genuine offer.
4* Dorothy's farewell to Jack and Billina just before they enter the Ornament Collection.
5* Following the climax, Dorothy's sheer relief at seeing Oz restored and [[spoiler: Tik-Tok returned to normal.]]
6* Pretty much any time Jack interacts with Dorothy. One scene that sticks out in particular is when [[ComfortingComforter he covers her with his vest while she sleeps]] and whispers, "Goodnight, Mom."
7** "Dorothy, may I call you Mom? Even if it isn't so?"
8** When Jack sees [[spoiler: Ozma at the end of the film, he screams out, "MOM!" Both Ozma ''and'' Dorothy look up. It's simply adorable.]]
9*** This doubles as a heartwarming moment from [[spoiler: Ozma, as she is shown smiling at Jack’s reaction to her return. Unlike her book counterpart, she doesn’t seem to harbor any discomfort over being addressed as his parent.]]
10* Dorothy's reunion with her aunt, uncle, and Toto.
11* It's easy to miss, but during the parade at the end, [[HeelFaceTurn the Wheelers can be seen in the crowd]].
