1* John Lennon vs. [[TheHeavy the Dreadful Flying Glove]]. John defeats the Blue Meanies' most powerful enforcer by singing [[ThePowerOfLove "All You Need Is Love"]].
2* And just before that, the Beatles beginning their counter-attack against the Blue Meanies by playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
3* When the Beatles team up with their Pepperland counterparts, the real Paul shouts, "Beatles to battle! CHARGE!!" And Ringo tops it off with an appropriate fanfare from a trumpet, even when it's quickly cut off by an incoming blue arrow.
4* The camera floats up through the roof of Pepperland as The Old Mayor is apple-bonked to grey immobility and Fred escapes JustInTime to the opening strains of the title song.
5* The [[https://vimeo.com/107213875 "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" sequence]] is a ''gloriously'' beautiful display of rainbow psychedelic imagery, enough to take your opinion of the song from being just a strange tune with nonsensical drug-inspired lyrics to one of the most gorgeous pieces of music the Beatles ever wrote.
6* Jeremy single-handedly defeating the Blue Meanie ''leader'', while captured and threatened, just by being his off-beat self. Jeremy's hyper-poetic tendencies, which previously only obstructed communication, cause flowers to bloom all over the leader's body, initially scaring him off and them leading him to a HeelFaceTurn. Ringo is proud, saying "First time I saw that 'Nowhere Man', that Nobody... ''I'' knew he was Somebody!"
7* Music/TheBeatles finally putting in an appearance at the end.
