* Although it is followed with a ''huge'' MoodWhiplash, "So to Be One of Us", with Jane playing with the Lost Boys and Peter. Although it doesn't go well at first, she eventually is shown laughing and having fun, and finally acting like a kid -- which, considering that Jane is a huge BrokenBird who was forced to grow up way too fast during the Second World War, is ''very'' sweet to see.

* In a similar demonstration of TookALevelInKindness, Peter stares at Jane sympathetically when he finds out why she's so desperate to go home, and when her makeshift raft sinks, he's willing to teach her to fly so she can return. Later, when he finds her again after she becomes fed with their shenanigans, Peter quickly apologizes for what they did and states they want to make her feel like she's one of them. It's quite the change compared to how dismissive he was of Wendy in the first film.

* Wendy's brief, but beautiful reunion with Peter and Tinker Bell at the end. She may have grown up, but deep down is still the girl she used to be. Tink even levitates her for a moment to let her relive the sensation she felt years ago.
* Just the final minute of the film is packed heartwarmers. After Peter and Wendy say goodbye, her newly-reconciled children come to the window and Danny gets to glimpse Peter for himself, just as her husband returns from the front to Jane's absolute joy and relief. Peter and Tinker Bell watch the Darlings' reunion with satisfaction before returning home themselves. The booming TriumphantReprise of Peter's {{leitmotif}} from the first movie puts the cherry on top.

This is not heartwarming, it's just cheap and forced and hokey.

* Peter reuniting with the now grown-up Wendy.
-->'''Wendy:''' (''looks out the window and Peter appears'') Hello Peter.\\
'''Peter:''' (''looks away sadly'') You've changed...\\
'''Wendy:''' (''smiles and turns his face to face hers'') Not really. Not ever.
** Which is unmarked in the movie's HappyEnding, as not only have Jane come back home [[CharacterDevelopment with a new view of life after her adventures]] and Peter been reunited with his old friend Wendy, but Jane's father and Wendy's husband Edward comes back home from the war.
** Peter accepting that Wendy has become an adult, but still remains a child at heart. He gives her a smile and a bow, and refers to her as "Madame".
* Tinker Bell gets over her jealousy of Wendy -- both are happy to see one another, and ''Tinker Bell'' looks to Peter with the suggestion of letting Wendy fly one last time. He agrees. Yes, you read that right, Tinker Bell, ''the fairy who tried to have Wendy'' '''shot down''' ''got over that jealousy.''
-->''(Tinker Bell sits in Wendy's hand)''\\
'''Wendy:''' ''(smiling)'' Hello Tinker Bell.\\
''(Tink looks to Peter, with a smile on her face, and he gives a sprightly nod, and she happily/mischievously covers Wendy in Pixie Dust)''\\
'''Wendy:''' ''(rising off the ground)'' Oh Tink!\\
''(Wendy giggles as she relives one of the greatest adventures of her life, no matter how briefly, and Peter Pan smiles realizing though his friend has grown up, she never outgrew her inner child either)''
** What makes this above even more Heartwarming: ''adults cannot fly'' as they've forgotten what it's like to be a child. Wendy may not fly for long, but the fact that she flies ''at all'' certainly tells us something.
*** Immediately beforehand, when Peter is pressed against the wall watching Wendy, Tinker Bell flies down to him and makes the "come here" motion with her finger, then ''points towards the window twice'' implying that she means "bring Wendy ''with'' us."

* The scene near the end when [[spoiler: Jane's renewed belief in fairies restores Tinker Bell to full health]]. Tink sees Jane crying, she smiles benevolently at the girl and gently tugs at her hair to get her attention.
* The Brazilian Portuguese dub has a meta example, in that it achieved something the original version didn't: bring Peter's original voice actor back. Lauro Fabiano, the Brazilian voice actor for Peter in the first film, returned for the sequel as the narrator.
* The scene with Peter giving Jane a [[https://youtu.be/R4tzZIS6vXA flying tour through Neverland]], which starts with them flying over a [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows rainbow]] and Peter taking Jane's hand to run both their hands through it. Though Jane is initially scared, she genuinely seems to be enjoying the experience (at least until [[ClingyJealousGirl Tinker Bell]] tries to push her off of Peter [[CallBack so she'll fall]]), and Peter, for his part, does seem to be making sure she's having a good time.
** Peter also saves Jane from being soaked by [[CallBack the mermaids]], indicating he remembers Wendy did ''not'' like that. Considering how dismissive he was about it in the first film, it says a lot that [[CharacterDevelopment he understands now]] that it was not a pleasant experience for Wendy and doesn't want Jane to go through it.
