* Meta: The movie being created in the first place is one gigantic CrowningMomentOfAwesome in itself. When Dav Pilkey was writing comic books in grade school, his teachers told him he would never amount to anything and he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. He went to college, 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 DreamworksAnimation, to the delight of fans everywhere. Can anyone say...WhosLaughingNow

* Special mention needs to go to the beginning of the fight between Captain Underpants and Professor Poopypants. [[TheDeterminator Captain Underpants]] doesn't hesitate for a second before jumping into battle against the villain, and despite being thoroughly disadvantaged not possessing superpowers at the time, he fights on anyway.
** Shortly after the Captain Underpants persona was created, he immediately takes off to find people he can help. [[HeroWithAnFInGood The initial effectiveness of his actions has much to be desired]], but his determination and dedication to being a hero is admirable.
** He doesn't even let falling face-first into the ground from several feet up, getting hit by a car, or any rude remarks thrown his way hinder him!

* George and Harold's treehouse. Captain Underpants himself praises it as an "impressive headquarters"!
* The several of the pranks themselves are rather impressive, as George and Harold Lampshade:
-->'''George:''' Some of those must have been really hard to pull off.
-->'''Harold:''' And dangerous! Like that tiger!
-->'''George:''' Oh, that tiger was crazy!
* George's rousing speech to convince Harold to help him [[spoiler: hijack Melvin's Turbo Toilet 2000 and liberate their peers from enduring another minute of boredom at the school's Invention Convention.]]
* [[spoiler: Melvin and Krupp's BatmanGambit to acquire proof of George and Harold pulling a prank with a disguised ''nanny cam'' in a stuffed turtle toy is impressive in its own right.]]
* The scene where George hypnotizes Krupp is [[AwesomeAnimation full of them]].
** [[MundaneMadeAwesome George's description of the 3D Hypno-Ring's creation]]. Not only are [[EyeCandy the visuals]] amazing, but it also showcases more of George's storytelling talents other than authoring the comic books he co-creates with Harold. And he came up with it ''all on the spot''!
** The whole reason George hypnotized Krupp to begin with. ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming His friendship with Harold was threatened!]]''
* [[spoiler: The boys steal a crane to chase after Captain Underpants though town. After initial trial and error, Harold manages to operate it with stellar ease, even managing to perfectly parallel park the thing!]]
* The incorporation of [[spoiler: Flip-O-Rama]] in the movie
* All the creativity George and Harold incorporate into their pranks and inspire in others. [[spoiler: 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.]]
* [[spoiler: Harold using his enlarged hand to physically fight back against the giant Professor Poopypants, as well as [[TakingTheBullet to save George]] [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming from a shrink blast]], which simultaneously restores his hand to normal.]]
