  • Just the caffeinated Hammy scene. He can out-walk LASERS. It screams Quicksilver before the X-Men films.
  • The Depelter Turbo. On maximum setting, it creates a Pillar of Light that destroys a satellite in orbit and is visible from outside the galaxy.
  • RJ's Heel Realization and his redemption.
  • The animals taking on all three of the enemies at once; the Verminator, Gladys, and the GIANT BLACK BEAR. They took out all three in one go! Impressive for a two-sided attack — especially when Verne and R.J. literally just Pass the Popcorn watching.
  • Stella fumigating the house with her natural odor. Heck, Gladys is still clearing out the smell toward the final battle.
  • Although it's misplaced, the animals throw RJ out of the van, given he had earlier confessed his ulterior motives. RJ has just gone through a Heel–Face Turn, but they don't know that until Verne tells his tail isn't tingling. From their point of view, it's a case of them letting the conning raccoon know you do not take advantage of good nature.
  • RJ is outrunning Nugent the dog. Even though Nugent is just an over-excited dog who likes to play, it was still awesome to see RJ using his stamina.
  • Verne rescuing Hammy from the Girl scouts selling cookies.
  • In the video game, the animals go up against an army of brainwashed animals, all controlled by Dwayne the Verminator, and they win.
    • To elaborate, the game sees Dwayne return to the suburbs with more traps and animals controlled by caps that he put on them. And what do the animals do? They fight back using weapons like sticks and golf clubs as they continue raiding humans' houses for food. They also raid an amusement park and the headquarters for Dwayne's business when the latter ends up kidnapping Heather.
