1* Doubles as Funny, the entire opening montage of the Muppets waking up and helping each other get ready for the day.
2* After Gonzo learns the truth behind his alien heritage. Never before has Gonzo seemed so happy as when he shouts, "I KNOW WHERE I COME FROM!"
3* All of Kermit's and Gonzo's interactions. Although he may not quite understand Gonzo, Kermit never the less does his best to help and support him throughout his identity crisis- even while the other Muppets are making fun of him.
4* Gonzo's about to leave with his alien family, then he realizes that he just ''can't'' leave behind his Muppet friends and the the only home he's ever known. It proves just how strong the bond of friendship of the Muppets are.
5-->"I love these guys. They're my family. This...is my home."
6** Gonzo's alien brethren must have been looking for him for a long time, to let him stay on Earth at the end just goes to show how much they must really care for the guy and his happiness. D'awww.
7** Doubly heartwarming is how Rizzo is almost hysterically happy that Gonzo wasn't going to leave Earth.
8* Kermit's very simple reaction to Gonzo's farewell puts a lump in many a fan's throat every time.
9-->"[[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove We love you, Gonzo]]."
10* On the audio commentary, Gonzo begins to tear up while re-watching the family-photos scene, and Rizzo hugs him. Near the end of the film, when Rizzo is saying goodbye to Gonzo, the Rizzo in the commentary leaves the room sniffling.
11* When Rizzo saves Gonzo from Dr. Van Neuter, he climbs down a rope to reach Gonzo. [[HeartwarmingInHindsight When was the last time Rizzo was dangling from a rope?]] When [[Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol Gonzo dragged him along to climb up Scrooge's house, and later fly behind Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past]], during the movie where they first became friends.
12* Ed's reaction when he decides to StayWithTheAliens and his subsequent (if not somewhat sudden) HeelFaceTurn.
13-->'''Ed''': (''after the leader of Gonzo's people gives him the offer'') You want me to go with you? (''with a tone of wonder in his voice'') To...[[Franchise/StarTrek boldly go where no man has gone before?]]
14* While she did it mostly to get [[ItsAllAboutMe the news scoop,]] Miss Piggy earns points for fighting the government agent in order to find Gonzo's whereabouts.
15* Scooter makes his return to the Muppet cast since the death of his original performer, Richard Hunt. The man who voiced him in this film? Richard's brother, Adam Hunt. There's something sweet about one's legacy being carried on by their own sibling, even if it is just for one short line ("Get your Gonzo T-shirt right here, ten bucks!").
16* When it appears Ed is ready to open fire "The Really Big Gun" on Gonzo's alien family, Gonzo himself instantly stands between them, [[HeroicSacrifice ready to]] [[TakingTheBullet take the bullet.]] Thankfully, Bobo had already disarmed the weapon.
