5	* Before this, Disney had never touched modern-day UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity as the setting of an entire animated feature. (The beginning and end of ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' take place there, but most of the film is set in Louisiana.) Not only did they pull it off, but then the second musical number "Why Should I Worry?" starts up, and the audience realizes this is going to ''rock.''
6	* Upon first meeting Sykes, his dogs, Roscoe and [=DeSoto=], go into the gang's hideout and starts terrorizing the place. [=DeSoto=] finds Oliver's hiding spot, and ignores Roscoe telling him that Sykes is calling them back, in favor of preparing to eat Oliver. Oliver responds by ''clawing [=DeSoto=]'s nose in self-defense, leaving scars.'' Even Fagin says that that took a lot of guts. [[TruthInTelevision This is based on the behavior of real-life cats, who are known to fight back when cornered.]]
7	* After the clawing mentioned above, the two pinchers get naturally angry and are about to kill Oliver, but the gang suddenly leaps to his rescue and surround him with a wall of bodies. And this is the same gang that was threatening him just minutes before! Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}.
8	-->'''Roscoe:''' (''snarling'') Get out of my way, Dodger. \
9	'''Dodger:''' [[ShutUpHannibal That's enough, Roscoe.]]
10	** If you watch Roscoe, he's ''nervous'' about fighting them all at once.
11	* This line:
12	-->'''Francis''': (to Roscoe) Isn't it rather dangerous to use one's entire vocabulary in a single sentence?
13	-->'''Tito''': Aha! Frankie, you did right! (''gives him a high paw'') You bad, boy!
14	* It's a small moment, but after Roscoe and [=DeSoto=] fight and wound Dodger on Sykes' command, Fagin, who had spent the entire film terrified of Sykes, kneels down to comfort Dodger and gives Sykes a DeathGlare.
15	** Dodger jumping in to defend Fagin from Roscoe and [=DeSoto=]. If you look closely you can see Dodger actually overpowering [=DeSoto=] despite the latter being much bigger and more vicious than him. He only loses the fight because Roscoe jumped into the fray. Nevertheless, that is STILL pretty damn awesome!
16	** Despite being pretty brutally mauled by the two dobermans, Dodger seems pretty nonchalant about it when Rita shows worry.
17	* Fagin, upon seeing Jenny sad and worried about Oliver, willingly gives him back to her (after pretending to mysteriously find him abandoned in a crate) despite the fact that he knows that Sykes would have likely had him killed if he couldn't get the ransom money.
18	* Dodger and his gang ultimately redeem themselves for their friend Oliver by helping him and Fagin rescue Jenny from Sykes.
19	** Bonus points for Georgette helping as well. She wasn't all showy about it either; she just huddles up with the other dogs with a determined look on her face and runs off to Sykes' hideout. This shows how much she really cares about Jenny.
20	** Bonus points also for Dodger, who had earlier all but called Oliver a sell-out for wanting to stay with Jenny, being the one to declare that they'll save her.
21	* Fagin pulling a BigDamnHeroes moment and charging into Sykes' hideout on his scooter to get Jenny and the dogs out. When you saw all through the movie how scared he was of Sykes and his dobermans, this definitely proves how brave he can be. The sheer fact Fagin endured a climactic chase sequence through a subway driving a ''scooter''! That took guts!
22	** Becomes Heartwarming when you realize that he didn't need to do that. Sykes had given him an out when he'd kidnapped Jenny, telling Fagin "Keep your mouth shut, and consider our account closed." But Fagin doesn't take that offer. He faces his fear of Sykes and his dogs and does the right thing, either out of loyalty to his dogs, regret for Jenny getting kidnapped in the first place, or both.
23	* A villainous example. When Sykes' dogs fail to catch the motorbike, Tito starts [[TemptingFate mocking them]]. [[OhCrap Then we see]] [[CoolCar Sykes' car]] heading straight for them in the distance!
24	* Fagin was smart enough to know that there was no way he could outrun or outmaneuver Sykes' car on the open roads, so he drove straight into the nearest subway tunnel. The only thing topping that genius was Sykes' sheer determination leading him to drive into the subway tunnel too.
25	* Seeing Jenny in danger, an enraged Oliver jumps onto Sykes's hand during a frenzied car chase through the subway system and ''bites him'' hard enough to make him let go of Jenny. An audible hiss can be heard just before the bite.
26	** Upon seeing Sykes throw Oliver into the back of the limo-with Roscoe and [=DeSoto=]-Dodger jumps across to the car and into the back to help Oliver out, forcing the fight out of the window and onto the back of the car.
27	** If you blink, you will miss Oliver with his back arched and hissing at the Dobermans just as Dodger comes in through the sunroof. The kitten was preparing to fight them alone!
28	** Dodger gets pinned by [=DeSoto=] over the back of the car after Roscoe slips onto the train tracks (failing a TakingYouWithMe attempt and getting electrocuted to death), but Oliver jumps onto [=DeSoto's=] head, causing the Doberman to fall over the back too. Oliver almost gets launched onto the tracks as well but Dodger catches him by the collar. Just to recap that; by backing each other up, Dodger and Oliver took out ''both'' of Sykes’ dogs. Then they double-team ''Sykes himself'' to buy Jenny the time she needs to jump to the (relative) safety of Fagin's scooter.
29	* For Tito, driving the scooter off the tracks just before they hit the train. The way he does it is pretty funny too.
30	* Georgette's sheer amount of confidence is a moment of awesome all on its own.
31	* It's easy to overlook, but when Jenny jumps into Fagin's outstretched arms, Einstein grabs Fagin by his collar and helps pull them into the scooter.
