** Ducky in general is just a heartfelt, lovable character from start to finish. However, [[{{Tearjerker}} when you know what happened to her voice actor...]]
** Hell, all of Ducky's interactions with the main lot are adorable. She brings Littlefoot out of his HeroicBSOD, she's sympathetic and encouraging to [[LovableCoward Petrie]], she adopts Spike and accepts him as her little brother, and even seems the most willing to hear [[CommanderContrarian Cera's]] side of the story in spite of her obnoxiousness. She is quite clearly TheHeart of the team.

* At one point, a group of baby pteranodons are seen fighting over a cherry. When said cherry gets eaten by a lizard, their [[AmbiguousGender parent]] shows up and gives them an entire leaf full of cherries (one for each of them) and they all fly away together, presumably to go to the Great Valley. This is sweet (and funny) enough as it is, but the ''really'' heartwarming moment is when the blue pteranodon sees a visibly upset Littlefoot lying on the ground nearby. What does he do? Offer to share his cherry with him! After arguing over a cherry with his brothers and sisters, the little guy is perfectly willing to share it with a complete stranger in an attempt to comfort him. [[{{Squee}} Awww!]]

--->'''Cera''': Are you kidding? Did you see yourself last night? You're a great flyer!\\
'''Ducky''': Yep, yep, yep! You fly like nobody else.\\
'''Petrie''': But that the problem! The whole point of Day of Flyers is to show you can fly like everybody else.\\
'''Guido''': B-b-but maybe that's not the problem. Maybe it's the solution. Look, if there's one thing I had to learn is that you can't worry about being like everybody else. You just have to [[BeYourself be yourself]]. Just be Petrie and you'll be fine.

* When the cold snap has made things very dire for the valley, the adults are discussing what to do now that their food has run out. The leader of the ''Stegosaur'' herd then appears and immediately announces he will take his herd out of the valley to help the natives conserve what they may have left. Even Mr. Threehorn is taken aback by this consideration, and even says nobody was saying they ''had'' to go. The ''Stegosaur'' leader doesn't budge, however, as he admits his kind eat more than the others do anyway. This earns him a respectful, warm farewell from the valley leaders.

* The prologue of the fourteenth film is heartwarming in and of itself considering the series has returned at all. It retells the events of the first film, released nearly ''thirty years ago'', and also retells the ending of ''The Great Longneck Migration''. It's a welcome trip down memory lane, and also outright mentions the death of Littlefoot's mother for the firs time since ''Migration'' (and out of universe, about thirteen years). It's a warm treat for longtime fans.
