When one or more characters invest a lot of love and energy into an inanimate object, it comes to life in response thanks to The Power of Love. It's usually a Pinocchio type situation where it's still not an organic, living being, but it's now animate in the Living Toy or "Disney talking furniture" sense. Living Toys usually have this as the backstory for why they're, well, living toys. Usually the newly animated object doesn't need more love in a Gods Need Prayer Badly sort of way, but they all usually reciprocate the feeling of love with their "parent" and would be saddened if they stopped being loved (or worse, were treated as freaks for being alive). The now living object/person may want to Become a Real Boy. In some cases the newly living object/person stays on the level of Empathic Weapon, never outright sapient, but now a character in their own right. Animistic belief systems (where every object has a soul) often have a similar concept, whereby a seemingly inanimate object may be affected by closeness to a more obviously alive being: a rock flowing down a river will have its "soul" intertwined with that of the water, or a warrior's soul may become one with the weapon they rely upon. Compare Spontaneous Generation and Sentimental Shabbiness. See also A Boy and His X (this trope being what creates the X). Distantly related to Humanity Is Infectious. |

In The Love Bug, it was implied that this was how Herbie (the eponymous car) developed a mind of his own. | |

Traditionally Wonder Woman was a statue of a child created by her mother who yearned for a daughter of her own to love which was then brought to life by Aphrodite in reference to Pygmalion and Galatea, with motherly love substituted for the lust and/or romantic love of the original myth. | |

The movie May spends its third act with the titular May assembling a "friend" named Amy- out of the most beautiful body parts of the people she knows of. After she plucks out her own eye it moves an arm to stroke her face. Given May's state of mind at this point, it is debatable as to whether Amy really has come to life, or if it is merely just her own hallucination. | |

This is, at least partially, how the dolls of Rozen Maiden come to life and stay that way. | |

In Frosty's Winter Wonderland, this is how Crystal comes to life. It is also how Frosty comes back to life after Jack Frost blows off his hat. | |

This is used in The Cat Returns. The slightly inappropriately named Cat Bureau is where all the creations of artists who were dearly loved come to life when the sun goes down. | |

Doctor Who: In the climax of "Victory of the Daleks", the scientist Bracewell is told he's actually a robot with a bomb in his chest. To stop the bomb, the Doctor needs to trigger human emotions in him to "prove to the universe" that he isn't just a robot. The Doctor tries appealing to his sense of pain and loss. It fails, mystifying the Doctor. Fortunately his companion steps in and takes the Love approach. It works! | |

In episode 15 of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Joys of Seasons, Tibbie comes across some toys that Wilie had thrown out the window earlier, noticing that some bunnies are now playing with them. The bunnies' mother angrily asking how anyone could play with such broken toys gives Tibbie the idea to repair the toys, and her heartfelt care is enough to bring them to life and is actually beneficial to Tibbie since the toys help her when she is kidnapped by Wolffy. | |

In Sugar Bits, Ginger tried to make a gingerbread man many times so she could show it to her ill mother. Each time, the gingerbread man was nothing more than an ordinary cookie. When she asked her mother why they wouldn't come to life, her mother explained that gingerbread men only come to life if they are baked with love. Taking the lesson to heart, Ginger was finally able to bake a living gingerbread man: the main character Hansel. | |
