History Heartwarming / NightAtTheMuseum

* Near the end of the film, just as the sun is about to come up. Jedediah and Octavius show up, alive and well. During the chase with Cecil, Larry saw them crash, and he's having a solemn talk with Roosevelt about their deaths. Then they come striding up, [[IncrediblyLamePun looking ten inches tall]], and....
-->'''Jedediah:''' You wont get rid of us that easy.

* At the end of the film, the museum has more people coming in then ever before. And it's all thanks to Larry.

-->'''Sacagawea''' (breathless) You saved my life!
-->'''Teddy:''' (with a gentle smile) You're worth saving, my dear.

--> '''Jedediah:''' You wont get rid of us that easy.

* The developing relationship between Jedediah and Octavius. In the first film, they start out as enemies spending every night trying to kill each other, before becoming allies by necessity, and ultimately FireForgedFriends. In the later movies, their closeness grows, to the point where they become nearly insepparable. When it looks like they will die, they desperately reach out to each other to hold hands. Is it any wonder that they are so frequently read as a gay couple?

* The Tuskegee Airmen acknowledging Amelia Earhart's role in aviation history, particularly her similar position to theirs (black people and females, OnceAcceptableTargets no more).

* "''Smile my boy. It's almost sunrise''"

* The last dialogues between Larry and the exhibits all qualify: Larry tells Jed and Octavius he will remember "how big you guys were", then there's Attila actually speaking in English for the first time saying " Larry. Friend", and last the aforementioned Theodore's "Smile, my boy. It's almost sunrise." They may also count as tear jerkers since Larry is saying goodbye to them, knowing he won't see them ever again.
