Go, Spike!
  • Spike fearlessly charging in and fighting the wolf to protect his beloved owners. Keep in mind that the wolf is at least three times larger than Spike and is perfectly capable of snapping his spine in half. And Spike won.
  • Angelica biting a monkey's tail to get Cynthia back.
    • Also, she unknowingly stuns a wolf at one point- by throwing her roller skate at it
      • Then Spike notices the wolf and manages to drag the unsuspecting Angelica out of the wolf's clutches
  • Tommy protecting Dil from the monkeys.
    • Later, Dil returns the favor using the Reptar Wagon to save Tommy, Chuckie, Phil & Lil from the monkeys. The babies praise him, and he even gets a kiss on the head from Lil.
  • Betty’s involvement with the movie. She knows right away that Rex is trying to get a hot story by milking the parents’ grief of losing their children and lunges towards Rex when he asks Didi distressing questions. Later on, she takes a more active role and gives instructions on how everyone can help find the children in the woods.
  • Chuckie's speech towards Phil and Lil. He is still worried about Tommy & Dil and when the twins blow him off, he chews them out without so much as raising his voice. This Armor-Piercing Response results in the twins finally accepting Dil and going back to save him and Tommy.
    Chuckie: I don't know, guys. If we find the lizard and Tommy doesn't, how's he ever gonna get home?
    Phil: Whatcha worried about him for? He's the one who almost let you get eated by a fish!
    Lil: All's he cares about now is Baby Dil!
    Chuckie: Yeah, well somebody has to! Don't they?
  • Phil and Lil coming back to help save Tommy and Dil. They pull on the monkeys' tails and scare them away.
    • Even better, Chuckie makes a hell of an entrance by driving the Reptar Wagon NASCAR style, which causes the monkeys to retreat. Yep, despite Chuckie being scared of almost everything, he isn't afraid to scare the hell out of the monkeys with the Reptar Wagon.
  • Stu taking the Dactar on a search to find his two sons.
  • When Angelica ends up dangling precariously on the strap of her jumper on a broken bridge, the Rugrats don't hesitate for a moment to save her. Now that's friendship and loyalty for someone who's bossy and abusive towards them.
  • Angelica's workaholic mother throwing her cell phone in the river after being reunited with Angelica and the babies.
  • The Circus Monkeys ambushing and giving Rex Pester his karma. All the parents (especially Betty) are quite amused.
    Rex: No! Not the toupee!
    Betty: (laughs) Go get him, you little simians!
    Charlotte: Hey, Rex! Time for your close-up!
    Chaz: [in mock sympathy] Oh dear, too bad.
  • Drew actually displays some Big Brother Instinct towards Stu during their argument at the start of the movie, basically calling him out for not having a stable job to support himself and his family.
