Heartwarming / Nativity!

Go To

Let's face it, primary school children performing nativity plays with a few differences here and there is still always going to be Heartwarming.

Original Film

  • The pep-talks Mr. Maddens has with his students. They don't always work as the talk with the student who admits to being afraid of heights (specifically the proposed death-slide) in a deleted scene attests but still...
  • The bond between Mr. Maddens and his dog Cracker.
  • After reading the letters to Santa from the children, and their very earnest wishes for the Nativity to go well - so their parents can see it, so Mr Maddens will be happier - Mr Maddens, who has been repeatedly denying Mr Poppy's requests for a death slide, goes into the hall where the class is.
    Mr. Maddens: Right, who wants to go on a death slide?
  • Mr. Maddens reuniting with Jennifer when both realise each other are among the audience.

Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger

  • Mrs Peterson gives birth to twin boys, Donald and Roderick finally reconcile and their father finally declares he's proud of Donald.

Nativity 3: Dude, Where's my Donkey?

  • The extent of how much Mr. Poppy and the St. Bernadette's students go out of their way to support Lauren after her father loses his memory. They never stop trying to put on a brave face or encouraging Lauren to do likewise.
  • Mr. Shepherd at least recovers enough of his memory early on to remember Lauren and admit that he has indeed lost his memory but he will try his hardest to remember.

Nativity Rocks: This Ain't No Silent Night

  • Harry openly expressing his feelings over Doru's backstory and offering him his school sweater.
