11* The Groke saving Little My from the burning forest in one episode.
12* The Hobgoblin saving Little My from falling to her death in another episode
13* The Witch saving Little My from getting eaten by a giant fish in ANOTHER episode.
14* When Snork finally managed to get his second airship airborne for the first time. He had been working on it for the entirety of the show, it was so satisfying to finally see him fulfilling his dream.
15* Moomins and co. managing to scare off the Groke in her debut episode.
16* After spending all of "The Invisible Child" as a ShrinkingViolet, Ninny overcoming her fear and shyness, lifting her invisibility curse in the process, is extremely satisfying. Seeing her yell furiously before biting Moominpappa's tail for trying to throw his wife into the sea is both awesome and hilarious.
17* Moomin and company getting even with Stinky after he imprisons the afromentioned Ninny in a cave by [[HoistByHisOwnPetard doing the same to him]].
18* Little My charging a lion and biting it in order to save her sister. Turns out it's not a real lion, just two actors in a suit, but that doesn't make the act less impressive.
19* In the comic strip, when Moomin tries to build a house but is stopped by a stern Hemulen official because he doesn't have a building permit, Little My goes up to the building permit office and proceeds to make such a nuisance of herself that the official finally signs Moomin's building permit just to make her go away. Moomin is delighted when he gets the permit:
20-->'''Moomin:''' My! How wonderful! But how did you manage -- a little thing like you?\
21'''Little My:''' I threatened him, dear.
22* In ''Moomins on the Riviera'', Little My (who seems determined to make up for her AdaptationalWimp status in the '90 anime) takes on a shark twenty times her size. And ''wins'' -- in the end the shark throws her ashore and flees with a terrified expression.
23* In ''Comet in Moominland'', Sniff proves his HiddenDepths several times. Namely, that he is an ''excellent'' people-person. While Snufkin and Moomin can't get through to the professors, who are too preoccupied with their work, Sniff goes up to one, butters him up with some flattery, and comes back with the exact information they were looking for.
24* In ''Moominvalley'', the second season premiere, Moomintroll finds himself in a race with a winter sport maniac, Mr. Brisk, with Snorkmaiden as the prize. Because of Sniff's cheating which takes ''both'' Moomintroll and Brisk out, the race is eventually won by Snorkmaiden herself. Mr. Brisk falls into depression and Snorkmaiden feels bad... but only until the moment when she learns that he's down because he was beaten by a girl -- at which point she promptly tears him a new one.
25** Also Mr. Brisk's redemption at the end of the episode, where he uses his kite to save Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden from an ice floe.
26* In the 90s series, after Moomin and most of his friends being paralyzed and threaten with [[ForcedTransformation a horrible transformation]] by an evil imp they were tricked into freeing, Snufkin simply strolls up to the imp and tricks him into re-imprisoning himself by insinuating that he was a fraud. Once done, Snufkin realized this could happen again, so he got the tree removed and thrown into the sea.
