History HoYay / WesternAnimation

** At least in the novelisations and graphic novels we got a few merciful gleams of [[YaoiGuys Phobos/Cedric]]- though the scenes in particular border on creepy and abusive.

* ''HoYay/LittlestPetShopAWorldofOurOwn''

* [[HoYay/TheLegoBatmanMovie The LEGO Batman Movie]]

* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'':
** Senor Fabuloso not only shows CampGay behavior but he's also very close with Mr. Hockbar. Hockbar is his BeleagueredAssistant who, despite being annoyed at Fabuloso's bossiness, genuinely cares about him and will do whatever he asks, even [[ItMakesSenseInContext slathering him in marmalade while wearing a fish costume]]. "The Mystery of the Mask" shows us that Fabuloso met Hockbar during the latter's days as a Khon dancer in Thailand, and explicitly states that he became '''''enamored''''' with him. Hockbar even does a Khon performance for their "friendaversary". Teen and adult viewers will notice that their relationship seems to go beyond friendship.
-->'''Senor Fabuloso''': Way back when I started my Circo Fabuloso, I was searching for a special act. I became enamored with a unique Khon dancer I found in Thailand, and asked him to join my troupe. He wore that very mask, and that man became my best friend who helps me run my Circo to this very day. Yes, children, that very Khon dancer was none other than, the incomparable Mr. Hockbar!
** Hockbar and Fabuloso seem to go on a date together to get some sobolo juice in "Muddy Miracle"
** In "Fabuloso's New Clothes", Fabuloso has no problems with stripping down to just his underwear while with Hockbar.

* The title character of ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' and her RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with Brenda is full of this, treated like some sort of childhood romance. There's also her friendship with her best friend Nicky; whenever PA does something stupid she and Nicky would argue about it like a married couple.

** During "The Bands Break Up" The Misfits and The Holograms collab in the song "Bad Influence", which is all about how Kimber and Stormer shouldn't be friends. It sounds more like they a FriendVersusLover problem. Pizzazz outright sings "(...) she'll break your heart in two" to Stormer. After that scene Stormer complains that no one cares about her, which makes Kimber state that she cares about Stormer. They then say that they're "[[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship friends forever, against the world]]" while holding hands.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Jayce and Viktor's dynamic sometimes comes off more like a married couple than two visionary scientists working together. Viktor's lame excuse for when they're caught sneaking around late at night is that they were trying to find his ''bedroom''.[[spoiler:Viktor also ignores a woman flirting with him.]]

* “HoYay/TheGhostAndMollyMcgee”

** Once Raimundo tried to wake Clay up because of an emergency. Clay's reaction? Grab Raimundo and yank him down underneath himself.

* ''HoYay/YoungJustice''

* The DVD movie ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry: The Fast And The Furry'' has the cat and mouse engaged in a cannonball race and in one segment the two are racing in jets. Their jet streams cause a Scotsman to lose his kilt, showing nothing but a fig leaf underneath. The Loch Ness Monster sees him and immediately falls in love.

* There's some of this in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' between the two title characters amongst all the FoeYay. Jerry even kissed Tom more than once, just to annoy him.

* ''HoYay/TeenTitans''

* ''HoYay/LegionOfSuperHeroes''

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': The girls have habit in hugging each other a lot.

* ''HoYay/WonderPets''

* ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
** The main conflict between Anna and Elsa in ''{{WesternAnimation/Frozen|2013}}'' is that they were once extremely close but were forcibly separated by their parents, which left them miserable, and the whole plot is about them repairing their relationship. The first thing they have to say to each other after being mostly apart for 13 years is commenting on how beautiful the other looks, and later Anna is ''stunned'' almost speechless when she sees Elsa in [[EvilCostumeSwitch her new, more revealing dress]]. Elsa is severely upset when Anna announces her engagement, leading to her first serious bout of PowerIncontinence. The trolls sing a song to Anna about how love is used to help and heal, which they intend to be about Kristoff but ends up being far more relevant to ''Elsa''. Best of all, a "ThePowerOfLove will break the curse" ending is set up, falsely leading the audience to believe one of Anna's (other) love interests will deliver a True Love's Kiss... only to turn out that it's ''Anna's love for Elsa'' that breaks it.
** In the sequel "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever" Elsa tries her hardest to make Anna's birthday special to the point of making herself ill. She puts a figurine made of ice on top of the birthday cake featuring her and Anna skating together from the end of the previous movie. When Elsa nearly falls from a great height Anna saves her and holds her close. There's also when Elsa asks Anna if she can be her "birthday date."
** The [[WesternAnimation/FrozenII second film]] has some of this between Kristoff and Ryder as a result of how quickly they hit it off as friends, and Ryder (who has a sister) saying he "doesn't know much about girls".

''HoYay/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated''

* ''HoYay/XMenTheAnimatedSeries''

** Zim and Dib have a creepily intense FoeYay obsession for each other, mixed with grudging respect, TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou to the extreme, and an unhealthy dose of co-dependence. One incomplete episode (although the audio recording survives) featured Dib "retiring" from fighting Zim to follow "real science", resulting in him becoming bored and miserable and Zim turning into a depressed, unmotivated slob until the two renewed their rivalry, ending with them joyfully proclaiming the various ways they will "defeat" the other.

** The season 2 episode called "The Bands Break Up" is infamous for being potentially one of the [[HideYourLesbians thinest veiled]] gay romances in American cartoons. It's a shame [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot their 'friendship' is never referenced again]], making it one of the few things the status quo killed. After getting into arguments with with their bands Stormer and Kimber meet at a lounge. They exchange bitter words however the owner notices them and asks them to sing. Stormer and Kimber [[DuetBonding sing a ballad]] about dealing with insecurities. They hug and decide to start a duet afterwards. One scene has Stormer basically playing the role of a [[DatingWhatDaddyHates delinquent boyfriend]] to Kimber. When Kimber goes out late with Stormer late at night Jerrica asks a bunch of questions about who she's going out with and where, but Kimber simply jumps into Stormer's car and rides off with her. After Stormer is bribed into rejoining The Misfits she regrets it quickly. There's a scene of her lying in her bed which has a picture of her and Kimber together. She picks up the picture and stares at it wistfully, shaking her head. When she leaves to rejoin her old band, Stormer states that Kimber gave her something no one else had before... Sincere friendship. They both say at the end that they learned "a little bit about each other and a lot about life".
