1* The "Shall We Dance" number, also counts as a moment of heartwarming.
2* "Evil eye! Evil eye!"
3* Just about all the King's kids have their moments.
4** Just as the kids have finished entering in their grand march and are bowing, one final kid hurries in, ''scrambles between the King's spread legs,'' and bows to him. He picks them up and positions them with the rest of the kids.
5* [[RunningGag "Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!"]]
6* "Unless someday somebody trusts somebody/there'll be nothing left on Earth/excepting fishes."
7* Anna shows she's not just a delicate flower with her deadpan response to the King saying she doesn't look old enough to be a teacher. The ensuing BlatantLies in regards to her age are subsequently turned into a setup for a show of her intellect in which she correctly subtracts the supposed year of her birth from the then-current year.
8--> "I am one hundred and fifty years old, your Majesty."
9* The Kings' wives get dressed up in traditional Western dresses with crinoline skirts for the banquet. They still try to do their usual bowing when Anna enters the room, meaning that the skirts flare up. It ''would'' have been a PantyShot except the wives didn't wear underwear. Anna's JawDrop just sells it.
10* When the ambassador arrives, the wives are put off by his beard - "He has the head of a goat! He will kill us all!" - and run screaming from the room. Anna looks mortified.
11** The wives also lift up their skirts to hide their faces, meaning that the Ambassador and Edward get a good look at their bare legs too.
12** If you look at the Ambassador, as soon as the wives lift up their skirts, his shocked face turns to a [[EatingTheEyeCandy cheeky grin]].
13* The King is also having a good time {{Troll}}ing Anna when they pray to Buddha, by constantly changing position on the floor so that she has to match him. He even flops face-down and immediately springs up once she does the same, as though wondering how long she'll stay there before she realises.
14** In the background, everyone is chanting to Buddha about the King's promises. They even chant the "et cetera"s.
15* Anna and the King go through all the preparations for the royal banquet and Anna asks how long they have to get it all ready. She's told just one week. Before she can protest, the King reminds her that [[BrickJoke Moses said the whole world was created in that time]].
