History Heartwarming / It2017

* The finale, wherein all seven Losers bond as BloodBrothers (and Sister) with the help of a broken bottle, vowing to be there for each other the next time Pennywise returns.

!!Meta
* The subtle but much appreciated nod to Creator/TimCurry, who famously starred as Pennywise in the 1990 adaptation. In the room full of clown dolls, there’s one that looks exactly like Tim’s iteration.
* The Losers aren't just friends in-universe. Their actors became good friends too. There is plenty of behind-the-scenes video that show them hanging out together and having fun.
** Especially when the cast posts their support for each other's projects outside of the film series. They write that they are "best friends", and encourage their followers to watch/support their work. Even now about five years after filming they still seem close, as they consistently stay connected through social media.
* Despite his character being a vicious and absolutely terrifying monster, Creator/BillSkarsgard himself is confirmed to be an absolute sweetheart. Sure, when the cameras were rolling he most definitely brought his A-game, but as soon as the director says "cut" he had been seen [[MeanCharacterNiceActor comforting his young co-stars, assuring them that it was all pretend]]. Of note was the very first scene he had done with Eddie: ''“There’s a scene with Jack, who plays Eddie,” says Skarsgård. “I come out of this refrigerator and start walking towards him, very much in his face. When they shout action, I get really into it -– it’s really, really intense. I’m drooling all over him, and Jack is, like, gagging and crying and screaming and it’s horrible, but you know, it’s for the movie. I kind of plough through and then as soon as they say ‘cut’ I go, ‘Hey, yo, are you OK Jack?’ And he turns to me and goes, ‘Yeah man, that’s fucking awesome! I love what you’re doing, you’re awesome!’ He’s turned on a dime and I’m like, ‘What are you?’ They’re like little professionals.”''
** If the "Georgie scene" disturbs or bothers you then [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bill_jackson_and_andy.jpg these]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bill_and_jackson.jpg pictures]] of Bill Skarsgard and Jackson Robert Scott at the premiere help a lot. There's also the fact that Jackson Robert Scott in an interview even said Bill Skarsgard was very nice to him during the filming.
*** There are similar photos to the above ones with Scott and Skarsgard, such as one where everyone's holding their actor's chair signs, with Skarsgard and Jackson holding one with "IT" on it and one where the actors are in a room with Andres with ''a tired Jackson being held by Skarsgard''. D'awww!!!
* The bullies and the Losers quickly became friends during filming (against the producers' wishes even who feared it might affect their acting). And for all that Henry Bowers is horrifying in a very [[{{Mundanger}} realistic]] way, his actor was always asking if his co-stars were okay and hugging them between takes.
* It's obvious that the actors really enjoyed their time working on the film. Every September 8th (the film's theatrical release date), they post group pictures honoring the anniversary it came out. Complete with behind the scenes pictures and comments about what a special summer it was to create the movie.
* The behind the scenes videos really sell the friendships the Losers (and even the bullies) have with each other. Andy and Barbra comment on how much everyone bonded throughout the summer.
* Sophia Lillis' friendship with everyone. None of the boys treated her any differently, and they view her as a CoolBigSis.

** While it also serves as a TearJerker, the fact that Georgie calls for Bill as he's [[spoiler: being dragged into the storm drain by Pennywise]] shows how much Georgie loved and idolized his older brother, to the point where he sees him as his main source of comfort and protection as opposed to most children who see their mom and/or dad as their protectors.

*** That scene is even more heartwarming now that we know [[spoiler: Richie had a crush on Eddie.]]

** In fact, the way all the boys are with Bev. Beverly has a horrible home life due to being alone with a [[spoiler: creepy, sexually abusive father]] but the boys clearly love her and want to keep her safe from harm and she clearly loves them and wants to keep them united. It really shows how beautiful and important male/female friendships can be.

* Everything about the LoveTriangle is just very sweet. Both Bill and Ben have obvious crushes on Beverly, but the friendship between all three never suffers for it, and Beverly clearly has eyes for Bill, but treasures Ben as well. [[spoiler: Even moreso when Ben brings Beverly back from the Deadlights by kissing her while Bill is the last to say goodbye to Beverly and sharing a last kiss before she departs.]] It all drives home how much they mean to one another, and the boys clearly love and respect Beverly as a person as opposed to an object of desire.

** Despite the Losers having pretty much [[spoiler: broken apart after Eddie's injury at the Neibolt House]], being estranged from each other for a month, when [[spoiler: Beverly is kidnapped by Pennywise and Bill tries to rally them...'' not one of them backs down'']]. Nothing stops the gang from rescuing their friend from Pennywise. Not even parents, bullies, or childhood fears stops them, and they would stop at nothing to save Bev from IT. Special mention goes to Mike, who shows up with his bolt gun and a face like fucking granite. If he has to put a spike through this thing's skull to protect his friends, so goddamn be it.
* In a sad, but still heartwarming way, [[spoiler: seeing the bodies of IT's previous victims float down after the Losers defeat IT is a sign that now for the time being, at least, the horror and nightmare of children being killed and going missing in Derry is over]].

* The Losers all comforting and hugging Stan [[spoiler: after he's separated from the group and brutally attacked by It. He was convinced that they had all left him and they assure him that they would never.]]
* [[spoiler: The group all huddling together around Bill after he finds Georgie's raincoat on the tower-like pile of the remaining items of IT's victims, confirming his death. Barely any of them might have known Georgie, but he was Bill's brother and therefore their brother, too.]]

* Bill comforting Richie when he starts having a panic attack at seeing a missing poster of himself, mainly as it's one of the few times Richie is serious.
