Astro Boy (film)/Heartwarming

• Tenma finally gets his act together and teams with Elefun to slight-of-hand the Blue Core out of President Stone's grasp so he can use it to revive Astro. Tenma embraces Astro, telling them that while Astro is not Toby he is still Tenma's son, and then urges him to escape while Tenma and Elefun stay to face down the military.
• In the denouement, when Tenma embraces Astro in relief on realizing he's not dead. The warmth between these characters in the third act, while a departure from their previous dynamic, is incredibly sweet.
• Also in the denouement, Zog "resurrecting" Astro/Toby by using some of the Blue Core energy that Toby had used to restore Zog.
