* The scene where Captain Underpants [[spoiler:gets his superpowers. And unlike when it happened in Book 3, George and Harold think it's the coolest thing ever]].

'''George:''' [[spoiler:He has ''real'' superpowers!]]\\
'''Harold:''' [[spoiler:Aw, that is an obvious twist I did not see coming despite my ''many'' years of comic book studies!]]\\

* 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 [[spoiler: not possessing superpowers]] at the time, he fights on anyway.

-->'''Driver:''' OUTTA THE ROAD, BOZO!
-->'''Captain Underpants:''' ''(salutes)'' Why, thank you, vehicle person!

* George and Harold's treehouse. Captain Underpants himself praises it as an "astounding headquarters"!

* The incorporation of [[spoiler: Flip-O-Rama]] in the movie

* [[spoiler: Harold using his enlarged hand to physically fight back against the giant Professor Poopypants, as well as [[TakingTheBullet to save George]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments from a shrink blast]], which simultaneously restores his hand to normal.]]
* [[spoiler: [[PapaWolf Captain Underpants]] saving George and Harold from Professor Poopypants after receiving his newly acquired superpowers, then later from the Talking Toilets at the end.]]
* [[spoiler: George and Harold [[HeroicWillpower resisting the effects]] of Professor Poopypants' Anti-Humor Ray. It takes Poopypants cranking it up two more notches in order for Harold to lose his sense of humor and then the ray has to be on full force for George to lose his.]]
** [[spoiler: And it doesn't even last for long. They inevitably overpower and destroy it when they recall a memory of how they connected as friends through their shared sense of humor.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''George:''' Never underestimate the power of laughter, Poopypants!]]

* '''''Music/WeirdAlYankovic''''' [[MythologyGag wrote]] [[AwesomeMusic the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jcKoA_clnc theme song]].

* The scene where George hypnotizes Krupp is [[AwesomeAnimation full of them]].

* The several of the pranks themselves are rather impressive, as George and Harold Lampshade:

** The whole reason George hypnotizes Krupp to begin with was to ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming save the threatened destruction of his friendship with Harold!]]''

* The scene where George and Harold enter the school dancing to Yello’s “Oh Yeah” is both this and a CrowningMomentOfFunny. [[Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff Ferris Bueller]] would be proud.

* [[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.]]

* 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 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"

-->'''George:''' Look at our fellow children! Look upon their sad, miserable, ''pathetic'' faces! Come on, Harold! If you won't do it for me and you won't do it for you, do it for future generations! Save the first graders, the kindergarteners, the unborn, from a life of eternal boredom!

* In the beginning, George and Harold finally give us an [[OriginStory origin issue]] of Captain Underpants!

* The scene where Captain Underpants gets his superpowers. And unlike when it happened in Book 3, George and Harold think it's the coolest thing ever.

* The scene where [[spoiler:Captain Underpants gets his superpowers. And unlike when it happened in Book 3, George and Harold think it's the coolest thing ever.]]

* 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 deserves due credit.]]

* [[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!]]
* A smaller one, but 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, [[spoiler: 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.]]

* 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: And this is just what they came up with using only ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome rolls of toilet paper]]''!! Imagine the possibilities of what they can accomplish applying that same creative ingenuity into other things!]]
* [[spoiler: The boys launch themselves to the top of the Turbo Toilet 2000, but only narrowly so. Harold uses one hand to support both his and George's weight hanging onto the edge, and the other to swing George up the rest of the way.]]

* The scene where [[spoiler:Captain Underpants gets his superpowers. And unlike when it happened in Book 3, George and Harold are stoked by this.]]

-->'''George:''' Look at our fellow children! Look upon their sad, miserable, ''pathetic'' faces! Come on, Harold! If not for me and not for yourself, do it for future generations! Save the first graders! The kindergarteners! The unborn! Save them from a life of eternal boredom!

* The scene where [[spoiler:Captain Underpants gets his superpowers. And unlike when it happened in Book 3, George and Harold are beyond excited.]]

* The scene where Mr. Krupp becomes Captain Underpants for the first time, especially to fans of the books. Because it's not just George and Harold witnessing their creation come to life, it's the fans witnessing their childhood come to life!

** The whole reason George hypnotizes Krupp to begin with was to ''[[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming save the threatened destruction of his friendship with Harold!]]''.
** Unlike in the books, there are no directions as to how to use the Hypno-Ring. George just guessed and improved his way through figuring it out.
