Go To

General

Dot and the Kangaroo

  • When the Kangaroo decides to take care of Dot.
  • Dot lying on Kangaroo to sleep.
  • Dot dancing with the flamingos.
  • Dot begging the kangaroo to leave her behind when the former is preparing to jump the gorge to escape the dingos. The kid was actually prepared to sacrifice herself to save the kangaroo.
  • Dot giving Kangaroo some water when she's recovering from the dingo attack.
  • Dot reuniting with her parents upon returning home, though unfortunately, it also leads to the infamous ending where the Kangaroo leaves her without saying so much as a goodbye.

Around the World with Dot

  • Dot finally locating the Kangaroo's lost joey, who was kept in a zoo in New York, after travelling around the world searching for him.

Dot and the Bunny

  • The Roaming Free song.
  • The bond between Dot and Funny-Bunny in spite of how trying the latter proves to be.
  • Dot and Funny-Bunny witnessing the birth of a joey.
  • The wallabies having a change of heart about providing shelter for Dot after she breaks down over the stressful day she's had.
  • Funny-Bunny finding the wallaby cave and reuniting with Dot after she's spent most of the night believing him to have drowned.
  • Dot trying to keep Funny-Bunny out of reach of the crocodiles and the Flying-Fox rescuing them.
  • The baby sea-turtles returning to the ocean.

Dot and the Whale

  • Alex, Owen and the other kids who help Dot to keep Tonga alive.
  • Dot's bonds with Nelson and the sea-turtle.
  • The Save the Whale song.

Dot and the Smugglers

  • "The Very Best Of Friends", which is also played during the end credits. It's a whimsical and quite moving piece sung by Dot about how much she loves her animal friends and how they love her, accompanied by scenes of them all having fun together.
    I love them and they love me
    I know that we will always be
    The very best of friends!
    • It's also heartwarming to see Dot has human friends as well, even if they consist only of the two boys who help her and her animal friends to defeat Mr. Sprag and Scarface.
  • The Bunyip thanking Dot and her friends, animal and human alike, for tricking and defeating the smugglers.

Dot Goes to Hollywood

  • Dot and Gumley singing "Happy Indisputably". It's a cute and cheerful little tune.
  • Dot tending to Gumley's eyes, knowing it's the best she can do for him, doubles with Tear Jerker.

Dot in Space

  • A tied up Dot screaming at Whyka to run just before being gagged.
  • The Roundy mother in the stands trying to rock her baby to sleep which is ironic, given she has to witness her own kind persecute an innocent child (Dot) and their leader (Papa Drop) whip his own son (Roley) right in front of her, not to mention she's in a chanting crowd.
  • Dot reuniting with Whyka after she escapes from the Prison for Squaries.
  • Instead of eating Dot, Gorgo shows genuine concern for her and recognises that she is in trouble and needs help after seeing her struggle due to being tied up and trying to scream at him through her gag ... so he licks her gag off and eats it!
  • Poley finally reunites with her beloved Roley after Papa Drop is overthrown.
