Rose Valland is so great. I only met her via the book Monuments Men but I kinda fell in (spinster archivist) love with her a little.
Oh, also: RE your first request: Any episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but the pilot is basically a platonic ideal of everything you asked for.
Steven Universe is about the power of all different kinds of love, including but not just friendship, although Steven's 'making friends with everything' superpower does come up a lot; I've only watched S1 but of those, the two-parter "Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem" is a good example of Friendship converting an antagonist, and the episode "Alone Together" does some interesting things with the trope of the Power of Friendship.
