History Heartwarming / ElenaOfAvalor

** During Elena's coronation at the end, virtually everyone is there to congratulate her, even [[WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst Sofia and her family.]] Elena could ''never'' forget her own protégé and lights up as bright as we ever saw her the moment she sees the young Ethan Enchancian princess. All in all, they had a profound effect on each others' lives; Elena would still be in the amulet if it weren't for Sofia, and Sofia wouldn't be the princess she is now without Elena, and despite living to far apart for anything more then the occasional visit for very special occasions to take place will always remain the absolute best of friends. They even share a brief dance during the final number of the series, just like in ''Elena and the Secret of Avalor''.

** A meta example comes from Mingo and Zoom's voice actors. They're voiced by the respective sons of Craig Gerber and Sam Riegel. That's touching.

* [[http://showtimechamaco.tumblr.com/post/158634201915/i-was-at-disneyland-yesterday-and-when-i-walked A video on Tumblr has been circulating around]] of a Princess Elena at Disney World speaking in Spanish to a young girl dressed up as a princess, telling her that her dress is nice and sparkly like hers and that her abuela always told her that that's how princess dresses are supposed to be.
-->'''Elena:''' ''(translated from Spanish)'' Your shoes are so sparkly! You know, my grandmother always says a princess needs something sparkly so everyone knows that you are a princess, and look; you have your crown, your dress, and your shoes. Everything is so beautiful!

The encounter really [[IncrediblyLamePun lifted]] Craig's spirits.
* "Festival of Lights" has been generally well-received by Jewish and non-Jewish viewers alike for its representation of Latino Jewish culture and accurate depiction of Hanukkah.

** Naomi being the one who is most vocal about how Elena should give Victor and especially Carla another chance is especially sweet when you remember how she had been jealous of Carla in her "Rita" disguise back in "A Spy in the Palace", which shows just how much she's matured since then.

* Coronation Day has plenty of these moments:

* Victor and Carla's HeelFaceTurn in "The Lightning Warrior", after showing once more how deep their father-daughter bond runs. Also the memories of Victor and Elena as childhood friends, and how she is able to forgive him and accept him and Carla as a member of her team. More importantly, Elena has one childhood friend back in her life.

** The portrayal of Isabel's wheelchair-using friend Christina is full of this. Outside of one comment about it being easier to draw on a built in sketch pad, the show does not put any focus on her condition, subtly showing that it's a natural part of life.

** [[spoiler: When Elena appoints Naomi as her chancellor, she's initially very hesitant to accept the position. However, Esteban and Dona Paloma silently give their approval, showing how much they developed beyond their ego.]]

** Esteban picks up the Scepter of Light and was about to give it to Elena, but since it glowed in his hand, Elena decides to give him the honor to destroy Cahu's magic hourglass.

* In ''Sweetheart's Day'', Luisa thinks that Francisco has fallen out of love with her and forgotten their special day. He hasn't - and proves it later by providing ''an entire courtyard full of Orchids'' (the symbol of love) and a cake he tried to bake. He declares her "the love of [his] life" and she refers to him as "Mi Amor" (my love). He notes that he's thankful that he "had the good sense all those years ago to offer you that Orchid"; she notes that she "had the good sense to accept." They've presumably been married for decades and they're still in love, still adore one another.
