The best place to ask this type of question is at Trope Finder, which is specifically about answering them.
There's this animated movie cliche where right before the third act climax, the main characters get into a big fight/argument and temporarily separate before coming back together, reconcile and get ready for the final fight against the main antagonist.
You've seen it happen in films like Toy Story, Shrek, The Secret Life of Pets, Emperor's New Groove, Despicable Me 3, Home on the Range, Boss Baby, Madagascar 2, etc.
Is there a trope name for this?
