6	* Before it [[NightmareFuel went bad]], the whole subplot with the Cynodonts in the first episode. In particular...
7	-->'''Narrator:''' The bond between Cynodonts is extraordinarily strong: they pair for life.\
8	(''said as the mother and father Cynodont [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} nuzzle]]'')
9	* There are points in "Time of the Titans" where the baby ''Diplodocus'' almost sound like they're talking to each other. It's way cuter than it sounds. Also, [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter The baby Diplodocus in general]].
10	* The book version of ''[[ShootTheShaggyDog Giant Of The Skies]]'' makes the ending a tad more uplifting (no pun intended) when we learn that the old ''Ornithocheirus'' did not die in vain.
11	-->Despite this ignominious end, the old male was a success. In his 40 years of life he probably sired [[BabiesEverAfter several thousand offspring]] and it is likely that some of them were on this beach, competing and succeeding where he finally failed.
12	** Same goes for the ''Prehistoric Planet'' version:
13	-->But this one of the most important parts of evolution: the constant turnover of generation after generation allows a species to adapt evolve along the changing world around them. This cycle of birth, life, and death is what makes the wonder of evolution possible. In truth, our hero is now travelling the final stretch of a journey that has been a huge success. Ornithocheirus has wandered the prehistoric world for forty years; he's flown tens of thousands of miles, and countless young. [[BookEnds Now he's flown full circle]]: [[WhereItAllBegan he can finish his life where he was born]]. Even in death, he has somerhing he can offer for his species: nourishment for the next generation. He'll also leave something to the modern world: the sands of time will turn his bones to fossils, and those fossils will tell the story of this truly awesome creature.
14	* The ending of Death of a Dynasty and the series as a whole would be a TearJerker, except for the very end, which shows (just like ending to ''Film/JurassicPark''), that even though the giant dinosaurs are gone their smaller relatives -- birds -- are still with us. What a surprising RayOfHopeEnding to the age of the Dinosaurs.

17	* After being separated from the herd swept down the rapids, Patchi notices that Juniper has sprained her leg. Then a herd of ''Edmontosaurus'' show up, showing them and Scowler the way to the place they were migrating to. At first the trio follow them, but Patchi sees Juniper falling behind due to her leg. Does he keep going on without her? No, he proceeds to stay behind in solidarity with her until her injury begins to feel better.
18	* At the end of the film, Scowler apologizes to Patchi for being a jackass to him, and Patchi finally becomes the leader of the herd. Not only that, but he also gets his girl (Juniper) in the end. He really did [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn his happy ending]] despite his rocky start.
19	** Scowler gets an earlier one when he sees Patchi return [[spoiler: after kicking him out of the herd]]. What's the first thing he does? Warn him to keep away from the attacking ''Gorgosaurus'' and get to safety. At that point, with Gorgon close to killing him and the herd willing to leave him behind, Scowler has had a HeelRealization so he quickly takes any last chances to redeem himself.
20	** Patchi rescuing Scowler is another one.
21	* When Patchi enters HeroicBSOD to the point of allowing the scavengers to eat him, Alex refuses to leave his side and convinces him that he should live. Talk about UndyingLoyalty.
22	* The scene wherein Gorgon lunges out of nowhere and kills a pterosaur, can be oddly touching considering the fact he killed said pterosaur to feed his family (including juveniles), and takes no meat for himself. And not a moment later, he goes right back to hunting other animals (in this case, Patchi's herd) to provide for his pack/children. This small, easy to miss moment from the DesignatedVillain makes some fans wish the film had, in true WWD fashion, been from ''his'' perspective.
23	* It’s a small detail, but at the end of the film, Patchi ferociously chases a Troodon away from [[spoiler:his and Juniper’s eggs ]]. He’s not going to let one of [[spoiler:their hatchlings ]] end up with a hole in their frill like he did.
