19 Of The Best Hugs Ever

Share the love, it's International Hug Day!

19. Hobbit Hugs

Hairy, emoshe, contain braces. Oddly reminiscent of a Mumford & Sons gig.

18. WALL-E and Eva.

‘WAAAALL-E!'

‘Eeevaaaaaa!’

*MELT*

17. Anna and Elsa in Frozen

Because sisters are the best. Even when one of them has gone rogue and built themselves a fortress of solitude…

16. Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy

tumblr.com

The hug that’s a really thin pretext for a good long snog.

15. Jack and Rose

rose-jack-dawson.tumblr.com

The hug that ends in a kiss at a deeply uncomfortable angle. It changed the way we stand on boats forever.

14. Buzz Lightyear and Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear

pixar.wikia.com

The squishy, pink hug of a deranged psychopath...

13. Lassie

staging.imagemeetandgreet.com

It’s official, he came home for a hug. Rescuing children from wells was incidental.

12. Aladdin and The Genie

gurl.com

The hug that makes us sad about Robin Williams and happy for his comedy genius.

11. Sheldon and Penny

tumblr.com

Beautiful because of The Awkward.

10. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson

zimbio.com

Partly because it’s illegal to not include Wonderbatch in a Buzzfeed list, and partly because the look on Martin Freeman's face is the height of cuteness.

9. Mowgli and Baloo

At least he has Baloo to hug after being cruelly orphaned? #silverlinings

8. Buffy and Giles

markwatches.net

Just one of a series of ‘I’m glad you’re still alive, probably partly because you are a minor who I’m sending to potential death AGAIN’ Buffy/Giles hugs

7. E.T. and Elliot

gifmania.co.uk

Animatronic E.T. may now look as out of date as an 80s car phone, but the “I’ll be right here” hug is timeless for the ages.

6. Hiccup and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon

s449.photobucket.com

I WANT TO HUG A DRAGON.

5. Holly Golightly and Cat

masteringmymidlife.blogspot.co.uk

Because frankly cat hugs are better than human hugs, plus also amusing because Cat looks singularly unimpressed to be in the rain…

4. Christian the Lion and his friends

illawarramercury.com.au

OK, so this one is real life, but they are HUGGING THE LION THAT THEY RAISED WHO STILL RECOGNISES THEM! Feelings, you guys. FEELINGS.

3. Chandler and Joey

tumblr.com / Via forevermorex.tumblr.com

Aw. Man love. This was always the true romance of Friends – not forgetting the chick and the duck.

2. Voldemort and Draco Malfoy

tumblr.com

Wonderful in its cringe-y, horrifying glory.

1. Roberta and Daddy from The Railway Children

bbc.co.uk

Sometimes the classics ARE the best. Anyone who remains dry-eyed after Roberta’s cry of "Oh! my Daddy, my Daddy!” is made of stone and wrapped in concrete.
