History Heartwarming / GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio

* The flashback to Carlo spending time with his father Geppetto, especially while the latter sings his late wife's song dedicated to their son. All the while, [[GoodTimesMontage we see Carlo and Geppetto share happy memories]].

* The final scene just before the credits. Sebastian’s been telling this whole story in recounting his life to the Rabbits while sitting with them at the poker table. Their response? It was a good enough life. The credits then proceed, with Sebastian finally getting to sing.

* When Pinocchio asks Geppetto why people are afraid of him, but they love the Christ of the church despite the fact that they are both made of wood, the latter explains that that’s a common reaction when people see something (or in this case, someone) they don’t understand or it’s unknown to them. But Geppetto immediately assures Pinocchio that someday he will be accepted for who he is eventually.
** In hindsight, this foreshadows Geppetto’s CharacterDevelopment and his journey to accept Pinocchio, both as his son and his own person. First he understandably freaks out at the greeting of a living puppet, then he tries to mold him into Carlo because he still can’t grasp the idea that Pinocchio is an entire different being (both physically and mentally), creating a lot of strifes in their relationship, which leads the wooden boy to join the circus to prove him that he’s not a burden for him. Although, once he realizes his mistakes, he wastes no time searching for him. And finally, after escaping the Dogfish, Geppetto reconciles with Pinocchio, telling him that he loves him exactly as he is.

* When Pinocchio is haunted by how [[TearJerker Geppetto called him a burden]], he decides to join Volpe's circus so he can give his father the earnings and provide for him. As misguided as it is, it's rather sweet that he went out of his way to help his father.
** And the next morning, Geppetto was apparently about to apologize to Pinocchio for calling him a "burden".
** Also, right before Pinocchio leaves, he decides to draw the only thing he knows how to draw, a smiling sun, as a means to explain his absence to Geppetto. This is already nice, as, despite the fact that no one would be able to decipher anything from the drawing, it's the thought that counts. But also, Sebastian tries to convince him to stay and not run away during this scene, and suddenly gets distracted by just how adorable Pinocchio drawing a smiling sun is.

* Geppetto and Sebastian bonding over their search for Pinocchio, the latter no doubt keeping the former's spirits up. For a change, Sebastian gets to be a conscience to someone else who needs it.
** They also bond over catching fish within the Dogfish.

* Sebastian having grown so fond of Pinocchio that when the Wood Sprite tells him he's indeed earned the one wish he was promised, he uses it to bring Pinocchio to life.
** To preface this, Sebastian was promised the wish by the Wood Sprite if he helped guide Pinocchio to be a good person. He initially savored the idea of using such a powerful wish to do anything, including getting his memoir published. But in the end, he sees what's really important and uses it instead to bring his friend to life one last time, knowing Geppetto deserves a second chance to embrace his wooden son.

* The entirety of the epilogue being about how Pinocchio and his new-found family spent their last days ''living'' their lives, together. Who would've ever thought that a wood-carver, a wooden boy, a talking cricket and an albino monkey would make such a loving family?

** Sebastian believing that some day, Pinocchio will indeed taste death one last time and reunite with his friends and family in the after life.
*** It helps that Pinocchio already knows how to break his ResurrectiveImmortality cycle, and [[DontFearTheReaper Death]] is both friendly and willing to let him do it again. Unlike many other immortals in fiction who are [[CompleteImmortality irrevocably]] [[BlessedWithSuck cursed]] [[ImmortalityHurts with]] [[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortality]], Pinocchio has absolute freedom to live and die as he chooses to.

** Sebastian finally getting to sing. [[VideoGameCaringPotential Especially if the audience doesn't skip]].

** Although he ultimately dies of old age, it doesn't change that Spazzatura [[EarnYourHappyEnding got to live a peaceful and gentle]] life with Pinocchio's collective loved ones, especially after all the abuse he previously had to put up with from Volpe and his abandonment as a baby.

** Fridge-Heartwarming: Even though dying one by one of old age may not sound good on paper, Pinocchio's family received the happiest outcome imaginable. As opposed to Count Volpe or the Podesta (who died violent and/or rather painful deaths), our heroes each died peacefully. In the grand scheme of things, Pinocchio's friends and loved ones died good deaths.
