* At the beginning, Bill making Georgie a paper boat, writing his name on it, and addressing his little brother as "Captain", followed by Georgie hugging him. While Bill is making it too, Georgie is sitting on Bill's lap, head resting on his shoulder, it's definitely an overload of heartwarming and cuteness. Seeing their affection for each other makes [[DeathOfAChild what happens to Georgie]] all the more tragic.

* 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 SkarsgaÌŠrd. “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.”''

* A deleted scene shows an extension of the film's ending where Billy and his parents deciding to go on a family vacation. Given Bill has estranged himself from his family for believing in Georgie being alive, it shows after Bill found closure in accepting that Georgie was dead, he attempts to move on and had apparently reconciled with his parents.

** 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.

** 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.

* Leroy's lecture towards Mike in the latter's first scene, if a bit retroactively. At first, it seems like he's just being a hard-ass more concerned with his job than his grandson. But then Mike reveals to the Losers that Leroy seems to know a lot about Derry's ugly history; the man may've even had an encounter with Pennywise at some point in his life. Also, the man knows personal tragedy, due to Mike's parents dying. Callous as he may be, Leroy is looking out for his closest living relative and trying to teach him important survival skills.

Do not forget the deleted scene.


* 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 (or understanding that there are lines they can't get away with crossing in the eyes of all their peers and society) to go easy on the kid who lost his younger brother - even if only for eight months or so.

* 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 is [[ItsAllMyFault possibly blaming himself for not being there for when he went outside]].It's a kinda 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.

* When Bev finds Ben's New Kids On the Block poster on the back of his door, she doesn't try to embarrass him or tell anyone else in the room. She quietly moves the door so that the others can't see it. She does tease him eventually by making puns about NKOTB songs, but those jokes only make sense if you're in the know like the two of them are.
