Friendship is one of the most common relationships portrayed in movies, with a few select on-screen duos being heartwarming examples of connection and support. From timeless animated pals like those in the Scooby-Doo franchise to newer on-screen friends seen in Wicked, friendship is presented in various ways. Several film characters are placed in friendships due to adventurous circumstances, but these duos come to be through more natural means of connection.

Part of why friendship is so often explored throughout films is because of the instant connection made with audiences. The most heartwarming movie friendships explore the highs and lows of platonic relationships that reflect those experienced by audiences in real life. This includes being there for one another through challenging life changes and feeling insecure about the security of one's friendship, as seen in films like Toy Story and Bridesmaids, respectively.
