* 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 abandoning her over her mistake that led to her getting kidnapped by Tempest, and Twilight even returned the hug.

Although it's interrupted by the building storm, the Mane 5 were about to give an apology themselves.

** Discord is having fun at the party without showing to be causing any mischief. While Twilight has the spotlight, he looks to be off to the side, cheering her on the dance floor.

** [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E6SurfAndOrTurf They do this in the main show]]. Some decided to become hippogriffs again and live in their old home, while others decide to stay as seaponies underwater. Each of them wear a piece of the pearl, allowing them to switch whenever they want.

*** Applejack's line in particular makes in clear that this isn't a repeat of "A Canterlot Wedding"--they weren't outright abandoning her this time, merely giving her and themselves time and space to cool down. Too bad it turns out to be ill-timed.

*** Even before Tempest's HeroicSacrifice, we see a brief hint that she's not completely evil from her expression right after the Storm King gets his staff and marches out onto the balcony to test it out. Twilight looks over at her in horror and Tempest--who literally sang a villain song about how kindness and trust were naive childhood beliefs--looks suddenly uncomfortable. Even before the Storm King's betrayal, Tempest knows that what she's doing is wrong, no matter how she tries to act like she doesn't care about anyone but herself. This makes the fact that her decision to save Twilight leads to forgiveness and a new start in life even more heartwarming.
* Celestia, Luna and Cadance being freed from their stone prisons and reuniting with Twilight as the Staff of Sacanas then begins rebuilding Canterlot and restoring all of the damage dealt to the capital by Storm King's occupation.

*** 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]].

--->'''Twilight:''' I was sorry the second I said that I'd be better off without you. I knew it wasn't true.\\

* Capper's RousingSpeech to the Mane 5 that he knows of some heroes who have braved across foreign lands and lived to tell the tale ([[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe the Mane 5 themselves]]). For someone who was formerly cynical, Capper shows great admiration for these ponies, despite he only met them a while ago.
* Princess Skystar going out of her way to join the Mane 5 in their quest to rescue Twilight. Just earlier, Twilight had tried to steal her mother's prized magic pearl. But she forgives them, because Pinkie Pie's impression on her was sincere and friendly.
* Twilight expressing genuine sympathy after learning about how Tempest broke her horn. Notably, Tempest's villain song in which she reveals this is meant to be a form of BreakingSpeech and BreakThemByTalking, but all it does is reinstate and reaffirm Twilight's views on friendship and make her resolve to help Tempest.
** It's a small moment, but when Tempest says "face it, princess; friendship has failed you too", Emily Blunt delivers the line in a different way to how she had spoken before. Rather than taunting Twilight or giving her another BreakingSpeech, she speaks softly, almost as if she sympathises with her. She of course knows what it's like to be abandoned by her friends, and how awful it feels.

* 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.

** Not just that, Derpy Hooves is freed from her stony state as well.

** Grubber and the rest of the Storm King’s minions appear to have reformed like Tempest and are invited into the festival to party. Just shows how the ponies are willing to forgive and befriend just about anyone.

** Princess Celestia is seen talking with Queen Novo happily. Perhaps Novo isn’t holding Twilight’s actions against Equestria or has already forgiven her. Either way, an alliance between the ponies and hippogriffs seems very likely now.

* 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, and even those who still weren't on board with it admitted that the trailer was a huge step up from before.

** 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.

** 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. Special mention goes to when Twilight gives her friends a proper apology for their falling out, and Pinkie, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in one of her few serious moments in the book]], [[SincerityMode forgives her in earnest]].

* Crossing over into CrowningMomentOfAwesome, the star that travels around the "Y" in the title ("My Little Pony the Movie") can be seen as a touching [[FridgeBrilliance representation]] of how many friends Twilight and the Mane 5 have made throughout the series. If the sparkles on her cutie mark represent her friends, then look at all the sparkles that one star makes: it gives off dozens-upon-''dozens'' of sparkles! Just goes to show, the fate of Equestria ''did'' rely on Twilight Sparkle making friends.

* Rainbow Dash reigniting Captain Celaeno's passion at being a pirate, along with lifting the spirit of her crew. When Celaeno sings the line "I feel a light, stirring deep inside, it's like a tale still yet to be told", her expression says it all ("That's right, how could I have forgotten how much I ''loved'' being a pirate? And you know what? [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome I still love it]]!") Nothing's more inspiring than seeing someone's passion revived.

* 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.
