Go To

  • At the boarding school, one of Eliza's new classmates snobbishly asks her if she's ever seen a tiger up close; Eliza, with a smile that's just a hint smug, says "Close enough to pet it." which immediately makes her the center of attention.
  • Debbie's "You were never ordinary." speech to Eliza. Crosses over into Heartwarming.
  • On a more minor note, Nigel quickly deducing the poacher's plan to frighten the elephants into stampeding into the electric fence counts.
  • Boko learning how to drive Debbie's motorbike on his own.
  • Eliza throwing her pendant into the electric fence to stop the stampede from running into it. And then she remembers what she learned at the beginning of the movie about nonverbal elephant communication and convinces the herd's matriarch to turn around by kicking her behind the ear, which the elephant immediately recognizes as "I need you to turn around and go the other way."
  • The elephants taking down the helicopter piloted by Sloan and Bree.
  • The story behind Nigel's medal is an Offscreen Moment of Awesome: As a schoolboy, he saved twenty of his fellow students from a fire by making a rope ladder on the fly.
