** If the "Georgie scene" disturbs or bothers you then [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bill_jackson_and_andy.jpg these]] [[http://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''. Dawww!!!

* Henry Bowers and his gang don't exactly evoke the warm and fuzzy feelings inside you, behaving horribly in almost every scene they're in. Yet even the Bowers gang manage two moments that are a touch heartwarming. The most obvious one is Victor and Belch being there for Henry after a bad encounter between Henry and his father, showing that genuine friendship does exist between them. The other is relatively minor, yet still worth mentioning. On the last day of school before summer break Henry threatens Bill that they will be coming after him during the summer. He mentions that they have been going easy on Bill since Georgie went missing, but that this free pass is now ended. Despite how horrible they are to the Losers Club (and no doubt a lot of other students as well), even Henry and his gang have the decency and compassion to go easy on the kid who lost his younger brother - even if only for eight months or so.

* From the trailer: Bill making Georgie a paper boat, writing his name on it and addressing his little brother as "Captain", followed by Georgie hugging him. Seeing their affection for each other makes [[DeathOfAChild what happens to Georgie]] all the more tragic.

* Everything about the LoveTriangle is just very sweet. Both Bill and Ben 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.

** Ben, Beverly and Mike, all outcasts for different reasons (Ben's weight, plus the fact he's the new kid in town, Beverly's lower-class background and undeserved reputation for promiscuity, and Mike as a home-schooled black kid), all find comfort and friendship in the losers.

* Meta example: 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 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.”''

** Despite the Losers having pretty much [[spoiler: broken apart after Eddie's injury at the Neibold House]], being estranged from each other for months, when [[spoiler: Beverly is kidnapped by Pennywise and Bill tries to rally them... ''not one of them backs down''.]] Not parents, not injuries, not bullies, not childhood fears and a freakin' EldritchAbomination, ''nothing'' is stopping them from [[spoiler: rescuing their friend]]. 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.

* The boys all pitching in to help Bev clean up all the blood in her completely wrecked bathroom, when her abusive father is unable to even ''see'' the blood. (Especially poignant because the blood is clearly related to Beverly's fears around puberty, sex, and incest -- her father's actions are obviously hurting her, even if her father himself refuses to see it, but her friends immediately pitch in to help her and support her.)

* In a heartwarming but tragic scene: Bill's entire motivation in the film: He thinks Georgie's actually alive/kidnapped by IT and wants to find him, even though deep inside he knows his little brother's dead and possibly is [[ItsAllMyFault possibly blaming himself for not being there for when he went outside]]. It's kinda a twisted heartwarming that he wants to find his brother or at least know he's alive somewhere, even though it's far from the truth.
