History Heartwarming / MiracleOnThirtyFourthStreet

* Alfred, Macy janitor. It's amazing how heartwarming a janitor can be, especially when he points out the Christmas shouldn't be about making money.

* In the 1994 remake the Dutch war orphan is changed to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMXk048h3XQ young deaf girl named Sami]], [[DisabledCharacterDisabledActor played by a real deaf girl]]. Sami is seated on Kris's lap and once Kris begins speaking to her Sami's mother tells him that she's deaf and he doesn't have to speak, she just wanted to see him. Kris begins signing to the girl, asking her name and signing "Jingle Bells" with her. The best part? Sami didn't know that Attenborough was going to sign to her, [[EnforcedMethodActing the surprise you see on her face is genuine]].
* During Kris's hearing, Mr. Macy is brought to the stand to testify, and is asked if he really believes him to be Santa Claus. When he's about to answer, he imagines the bad press it could bring his store if he admitted, in court, that his Santa is a fake. After he hesitates, the DA repeats the question. Macy thinks of Kris's professional air to the entire job, his goodwill campaign in dealing with the customers, and the smiling faces of all the children he greets before confidently answering, "I do."
* How about Kris's look of complete joy and gratitude as the letters pile on the judge's desk? *sniff*

* In the remake, Jack and Alberta, Victor Landberg's cronies from Shoppers Express(who initially helped get Kris committed with the help of the drunken Santa actor Kris got canned for drunkenness) surreptitiously show each other they are wearing the "I believe."pins, showing their acceptance of Kris as Santa Claus. Atop that, the pair giving each other warm smiles.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgkfSirpTWs Kris and the little Dutch orphan girl]]. The girl's mother tells him she can only speak Dutch thinking he won't understand... then he [[CunningLinguist starts talking in Dutch to her]] out of the blue, making her smile through and through. The entire conversation is a BilingualBonus.

** There's also something to be said for the fact that neither the judge nor the prosecutor express any real animosity towards Kris. The prosecutor even admits to his wife in private that he's grown to ''like'' Kris. Regardless, he has to do his job.
