2 things
1. For reasons of Fic Research, can y'all rec me episodes of kid shows about THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP? Whether that's teaming up to defeat the Bad Guy or converting the Bad Guy to the side of good.
2. I've just watched Illustre et Inconnu. Comment Jacques Jaujard a sauvé le Louvre a movie documentary about the man who saved the Louvre during WW2 and WOW. What was done was amazing. They emptied the Louvre of pretty much everything right before the war started -- and I do mean right before: the last work to be evacuated was the Winged Victory of Samothrace and it left the Louvre on September 3 1939, 5pm, right when French declared war on Nazi Germany. It's an amazing documentary both really well done and about a fascinating subject. A++ would totally recommend. (I want to know EVERYTHING about Rose Valland now.)

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.

I'm really really into SU but am less sure whether it uses the Power of Friendship trope per se, especially to defeat antagonists. Mostly it has fully-realized characters interacting in complex and realistic relationships, something I absolutely love. "Jail Break," the Season 1 finale, has friends working together to defeat a Big Bad, in particular the pivotal battle scene though that's less the Power of Friendship and more like the Power of... well, you know what I mean.

Everyone is reccing MLP:FiM and I really should have thought of it myself, especially given the title. Thank you.
Thanks again!
