Heartwarming / The Sandman (2014)

• Sophie's relationship with her father. It's obvious that Sophie and her father love each other dearly. Even when everyone is put to sleep, Sophie decides to go look for her father. She was horrified when she thought that he was killed by a dragon.
• The good ending when Lullaby puts Sophie to sleep. It chooses to turn into her mother and help her fall asleep.
  • Speaking of the good ending, how about when the Sandman places Sophie in her bed. Just before he leaves, he tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and then wakes up the world again.
• The scene where David and Sophie meet for the first time. David takes time out of his schedule to talk to a distraught teenage girl and be friends with her. Sure it leads to a Precocious Crush on him, but in the good ending, Sophie decides to leave behind her romantic feelings for him and be friends with him.
• The Sandman has a few of these himself. When he finds out that people are still awake after he sprinkled the Eternal Sleep Sand all over the world, he creates Lullaby in hopes that he can give them a peaceful rest.
  • Everything in the bonus chapter. Once Sophie arrives at the Sandman's castle, the Sandman has tried to make Sophie comfortable and put her in a peaceful slumber. However, he wasn't aware that some of his actions could have killed Sophie. The poor guy feels guilty after he realized what he almost did to her.
• The fact that the Sandman created a special sleeping dust for Sophie. Admittedly, him trying to force her to sleep would lead to a bad end, but he wanted to help Sophie.
