** Benjamin Franklin is a staunch voice for independence, and as such he has very little love for his child William, the governor of New Jersey and a British Loyalist. However, when he learns that William has been captured by revolutionary forces, Franklin ''immediately'' asks "Tell me, is he unharmed?" He goes right back to [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] after learning that William's OK ("Why did they arrest the little bastard?"), but his initial instinct shows that he still cares about his son.
** John Adams' biggest [[TheRival rival]] in his quest for independence is John Dickinson of Pennsylvania's delegation, and the two spar constantly (at one point even coming to blows on the floor of Congress). But after the motion of independence passes and Dickinson refuses to sign (opting to join the Continental Army on the side of the U.S. instead), Adams leads his fellow delegates in a sincere salute to him--opposing views or not, he finds Dickinson a WorthyOpponent.
** Lewis Morris spends most of the musical refusing to vote on anything because he hasn't received specific instructions from his colony: "New York abstains...courteously." But when he learns that the British have burned his properties and forced his family to flee the area (with his sons joining the Continental Army), Morris decides that he can't be neutral any longer and joins in singing the Declaration of Independence--"To hell with New York, I'll sign it anyway!"

* ''WesternAnimation/Sing2'':
** Jimmy Crystal's top personnel, Jerry and Suki, are loyal professionals and seem willing to partake in even some of Jimmy's more ruthless business measures. However, they both look very uncomfortable when they see Jimmy snarl abuse at his own daughter, Porsha, for losing her role in the production, and when he finally decides to get rid of Buster in retaliation. When Crystal first tries to kill Buster, Jerry manages to buy the koala some time by reminding Jimmy of a TV appearance he has scheduled, with Suki freeing an imprisoned Buster while they're gone. As Jimmy becomes increasingly more unhinged and psychotic in his vendetta against Buster in the third act, Suki finally draws the line and angrily sics the police on him, though Jerry remains loyal to Jimmy as the latter is being taken away.
** While ReformedCriminals Marcus, Stan and Barry are still perfectly willing to help the Moon Troupe break the rules and obliterate Jimmy Crystal's goons for them, they don't touch Jerry or Suki, being non-physical personnel of Crystal who are blatantly cowering throughout the scuffle rather than actively participating in it anyway.

** Despite the rather minuscule nature of Calvin's good side, he rarely tries to actually hurt someone beyond thrown snowballs or water balloons, note and is always remorseful over any harm resulting.
** When the clones he created for himself keep getting into trouble at school, he's exasperated, noting even he doesn't get sent to the principal's office every day.
** At the end of the story arc where he locked Rosalyn out of the house, Calvin reflects on what happened and comes to the conclusion that he went too far.
