** The hypnosis scene itself, is just amazing. When Krupp starts falling into a trance, the Hypno-Ring causes everything in the room to float, with a giant red swirl of energy shooting out of Krupp's office as if reality itself is changing to set the spell.

* All the creativity George and Harold incorporate into their pranks and inspire in others. When they hack Melvin's Turbo Toilet 2000 to fire rolls of toilet paper and play music a la dance party, watch what the other students do. One uses a toilet paper roll to perform a makeshift ribbon dance, another wraps himself up and pretends to be a mummy, several others craft a trampoline, use it as jump ropes, and even circus ribbon trapeze acts to name a few. When it happens again during the climatic battle, they use the super sized TP in a similar vein, such as for making an improvised slide among other activities. George and Harold may have kickstarted the impromptu dance parties, but it was the other students themselves who took what was provided at their disposal and utilized it various in unique ways to have fun to their choosing with their own ideas/ingenuity, ''building off'' of what the boys started. It really shows how much of an impact they have doing what they do for their school peers.

** What makes this scene better is that [[Music/AdamLambert Adam Lambert]]'s Think is playing in the background during the scene, [[BookEnds that calls back to the start of the film]] where the boys crash the Invention Convention.

* The movie being created in the first place is one gigantic SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in itself. When Dav Pilkey was writing comic books in grade school, his teachers and principal told him he would never amount to anything and he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. He grew up, got ''Captain Underpants'' published, and it sold like hotcakes. 20 years and 11 books after the publication of the first ''Captain Underpants'' book, it became a full-fledged 3D animated movie produced by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation, to the delight of fans everywhere. Can anyone say "WhosLaughingNow"
** Speaking of which, [[https://instagram.com/p/BfeCNVzH9Pe/ a fan asked Dav on Instagram]] if he ever saw said teachers and principal again after the success of the ''Captain Underpants'' series, and this was his response. Way to be the bigger man, Dav.
-->“No, I never saw any of them after my books started coming out. I had a few opportunities to, but I declined. Sometimes it’s best to put the past behind you. #nohardfeelings #noregrets”

* Harold's marksmanship skills. In the scene where they first enter the treehouse, he slingshots a pebble at the pinwheel from a decent distance with exceptional accuracy, then far more impressively later in the climax, is able to restore the shrunken Captain Underpants and the school back to normal with one shot from a far greater distance.
