History Heartwarming / FraggleRock

* In "Invasion of the Toe Ticklers," Mokey, while in the Gorgs' garden, befriends a caterpillar-like creature that enjoys tickling her toes. She names the creature Agnes and calls her species Toe Ticklers. While she and Agnes are playing, Mokey overhears the Gorgs' plan to poison Agnes so that the white flowers she would eat will be left undisturbed. Mokey is not about to let her new friend be poisoned, and she picks up Agnes and takes her to the Rock. When the other Toe Ticklers follow, she welcomes them as well—and celebrates their tickling with a song: "(You Were) Born to Laugh."

* In "Mirror Mirror" Red and Ma Gorg both end up befriending a talking mirror named Mavis on their birthday. Mavis falls off a shelf and breaks when Red tries to get her out of the Gorgs' castle. Red manages to glue her back together, but upon seeing how distraught Ma was over Mavis, she realizes Ma needs a friend more than she does. She ends up leaving Mavis with Ma, and wishing her a happy birthday.

** This is also [[TheOneWith "the one where Red and Boober are trapped in a cave"]]. That episode amounted to 22 solid minutes of heartwarming TearJerker.

* A meta example can be seen at Creator/JimHenson's memorial service in 1990 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Jerry Nelson (Gobo) and Steve Whitmire (Wembley) reprised their duet of the Season One song "Wemblin' Fool," as it was one of Henson's favorite songs from ''Fraggle Rock''. Despite the emotional circumstances, they gave an excellent performance and held it together very well. Then, Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, and Red joined in the Muppet all-star sing-along of "Just One Person," a touching song originally from ''[[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy: The Musical]]'' about friendship and believing in yourself, which was a special favorite of Henson's and used in many other Muppet works. [[note]]Dave Goelz and Richard Hunt were performing their [[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet Show]] characters, Gonzo and Scooter respectively.[[/note]]
** Then there's "Floyd's Lament," the self-penned poem Nelson read at the memorial service, which references both of Henson's recurring ''Fraggle'' characters, Cantus and Convincing John. It can be watched [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us3gYuBUuJI here].

* In one episode, Doc and Sprocket are preparing for a blizzard. They see Ned Shimmelfinny's cat, Fluffinella, in the cold, unable to get home. So Sprocket, despite his dislike of cats and Fluffinella's fear of him, lets her stay with them until it cleared up, even sharing his doghouse. Fluffinella responds by cuddling against him and purring.
** That was the first season episode "[[Recap/FraggleRockS1E17Marooned Marooned]]", or [[TheOneWith "the one where Red and Boober are trapped in a cave"]]. That episode amounted to 22 solid minutes of heartwarming TearJerker.

--->'''Red:''' Gobo, I need your help.\\
'''Gobo:''' That's all I needed to hear.

* The ending of [[Recap/FraggleRockS1E22MokeysFuneral "Mokey's Funeral"]], when Red and Gobo realize Mokey isn't dead after all.
* In "[[Recap/FraggleRockS2E24InvasionOfTheToeTicklers Invasion of the Toe Ticklers]]", Mokey, while in the Gorgs' garden, befriends a caterpillar-like creature that enjoys tickling her toes. She names the creature Agnes and calls her species Toe Ticklers. While she and Agnes are playing, Mokey overhears the Gorgs' plan to poison Agnes so that the white flowers she would eat will be left undisturbed.

When the other Toe Ticklers follow, she welcomes them as well—and celebrates their tickling with a song: "(You Were) Born to Laugh."

* The song "We Are the Children of Tomorrow" gets everybody in the Rock to sing in unison, including Sprocket and Junior Gorg.
* "I Give to Thee," the "Gorgish Proposal Song" in "Ring Around the Rock." Ma and Pa Gorg sing it to commemorate their 513th wedding anniversary, and it's a sweet, tender moment, even if Junior spoils the mood by improvising an inappropriate saxophone solo.

* Similar to "Marooned" is Gobo and Red's interactions when trapped together in "Gobo's School for Explorers." They've been at each other's throats the whole episode, but when they end up trapped together and it appears they may not make it out alive, Gobo says, tenderly, "It's been nice knowin' ya, Red," and he and Red huddle together silently. It was a powerful moment, and one that, according to Karen Prell (Red), was spontaneous:

* "Wembley's Egg" deserves some special mention, where Wembley befriends a Baby Tree Creature (Bird) and tries to take care of him. Plus the lullaby he sings to the egg before it hatches.

* "A Friend in Need": A Fraggle (Gobo) frees an Outer Space creature (Sprocket) who has gotten stuck in the hole in Doc's workshop, with indirect help from a Gorg (Ma). It's an important episode for CharacterDevelopment, and not surprisingly was one of the episodes directed by Jim Henson himself. Also, Sprocket howling along in perfect harmony as Gobo sings the chorus to his song "Count on Me" is the cutest thing ever.

* In "Let the Water Run," one of Uncle Matt's postcards, he tells Gobo about rain. In the flashback sequence, as he's being drenched, a little girl comes over to shield him with her umbrella. He gives her a courteous "Thank you." Simply touching.

* "[[Recap/FraggleRockS1E20TheGardenPlot The Garden Plot]]": After Gobo is badly hurt in the Gorgs' garden, Red sings the song "Muck and Goo" to comfort him, at Boober's suggestion. Gobo flashes back to when he was younger and sang the song with his Uncle Traveling Matt, and this is followed by Junior Gorg flashing back to when Pa sang that same song to ''him'' as a baby. This is particularly heartwarming because it shows a softer, more loving and nurturing side to Pa Gorg that we don't see much of otherwise, especially since this comes in the same episode as "Dum of a Son of a Gun," Pa's musical ReasonYouSuckSpeech to Junior.

* "The Lost Treasure of the Fraggles": Gobo and Red find a treasure map leading to the lost treasure of Fraggle Rock, rumored to be one million diamonds. After a harrowing journey into the Gorgs' castle at night to retrieve the treasure, the Fraggle Five open the box and discover the lost treasure is [[spoiler:a song which draws all the other Fraggles out into the Great Hall to sing along]]. It's so touching and so beautiful that Red isn't at all disappointed at the lack of diamonds.
