History Heartwarming / MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017

** Another minor one that happened in [[https://youtu.be/c76ElMJdt00?feature=shared a livestream to promote the movie]] is [[ Creator/AndreaLibman Pinkie Pie's voice actor]] fell asleep while she was live, and yes. '''[[Main/NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer This actually happened.]]''' Still, [[Main/SleepCute she sounds pretty cute when snoring though.]]

*** Special mention goes to the book allowing the Mane Six to properly reconcile over their falling out, which was cut short in the movie: Twilight gives her friends a heartfelt apology for using them all and lashing out at them, and her friends admit they were equally wrong to just leave her completely defenseless like that. What's most heartwarming is that Pinkie -- [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in one of her few serious moments in the book]] -- [[SincerityMode forgives Twilight for everything in earnest]].

** There's the fact that Pinkie and the rest of the Mane Six allow Tempest and Capper to contribute to the journal, despite being enemies for varying durations of the adventure. With Capper, Rarity acknowledges that his early betrayal wasn't his "finest moment", but it was still vital to how things worked out in the end. The Mane Six even look back fondly on his hospitality, despite knowing in retrospect that it was all just a part of his trap, and Capper nicely [[JustForPun caps off]] his involvement in the journal by thanking the ponies for letting him be a part of their circle. As for Tempest, she and Twilight take a break mid-story to discuss how deeply the former regrets her actions, rather than wait for when it was relevant to the adventure. [[MoodWhiplash Pinkie is quick to call them out for interrupting]].

* During the climax, Twilight and her friends reuniting, followed by her apology for her earlier actions and for everything she said. Now ''that's'' the Princess of Friendship we all know and love. And then Pinkie Pie ran up to Twilight and hugged her, happy to see that Twilight is okay and apologizes too for yelling at Twilight and for abandoning her over her mistake in stealing the pearl that led to her getting kidnapped by Tempest, and Twilight even returned the hug.

* When the teaser was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taxWzN7NzrA&t=2528s discussed on Collider Movie Talk]], all of the hosts reacted negatively to it and concluded that they wouldn't see the movie... with the exception of John Rocha, who stated that the teaser was not a good representation of the movie as a whole and encouraged the others to ultimately give the movie a chance. Even better is that, come their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs89dRDrSHg&t=1161s discussion]] of the following trailer two months later, their overall impression of the movie had improved considerably: the trailer made one of the hosts change her mind after she'd been completely turned off by the teaser (though she admitted later that she didn't enjoy the movie, she at least gave it a genuine chance), and even those who still weren't on board with it admitted that the trailer was a huge step up from before.

* A minor moment, but Grubber reacting to Tempest's unstable magic with amazement rather than fear in ''Literature/TheStormyRoadToCanterlot''. He even calls her a "very special unicorn".
* At the end of ''The Great Princess Caper'' (which follows the events of the movie from Grubber's point of view), the post-HeelFaceTurn Tempest apologizes for being so harsh towards Grubber, pointing out that while he [[MinionWithAnFInEvil failed to be an evil sidekick]], he is still a loyal friend who can make others laugh. She even gives him a cupcake with the word "sidekick" written on it, and playfully boops him on the nose.
** The ending of ''The Great Princess Caper'' also suggests what Tempest does after the events of the movie, which is confirmed in the premiere of Season 8: set out to spread the word of friendship beyond Equestria.
* The ''Adventure Awaits'' journal is packed to the brim with heartwarming moments, as the Mane Six, Spike, and even a few of their new friends (including Tempest) happily look back on their adventure and how it made their friendship stronger.

** Throughout the journal, several of them make it clear that they completely regretted the questionable to downright terrible decisions they made, and are still kicking themselves even in their entries. That just makes it all the sweeter when their friends reassure them that it's all in the past.

'''Pinkie Pie:''' It hurt a lot...but you know that I never stopped being your friend, right? Not for a second.

* When it seems like Twilight might be dead ([[DisneyDeath of course, she isn't]]), Pinkie starts crying. Applejack then quietly gives her a hug. A short but sweet moment. That is followed up as Twilight descends from the sky, fatigued and exhausted, but alive and triumphant as she has the staff in hoof, to her friends' joy as they give her a group hug in relief. Twilight can only let off a happy sigh that she's with her friends again, and can reverse all the damage wrought on Canterlot at long last.
