* Bernard trying to convince the Chairman that the mission is too dangerous for Miss Biana, and she is clearly touched by his concern. It goes to the next level when she chooses him to be her coagent instead of all of the others because he cares about her as a person, not just because she is beautiful and well-bred.

* Bernard trying to convince the Chairman that the mission is too dangerous for Miss Biana, Bianca, and she is clearly touched by his concern.

** Equally heartwarming is the reactions of the other delegates by this curveball of a decision. Rather than react with envy or jealousy towards the lowly janitor who somehow has won the attention of Miss Bianca without even trying, they easily cheer (in contrast to the chairman, who's been very dismissive of Bernard). In fact, only the chairman expresses annoyance at Bernard's lack of finesse, while the rest of the congregation find him amusing, meaning he's seen as kind of a mascot. Add in the fact that he quickly proves himself to be more competent than even he thinks he is, and it's little wonder he's promoted by the sequel to American representative.

* Rufus's flashback to when he last saw Penny, alone on her bed, sad because she wasn't adopted, and comforts her with his "Faith is a Bluebird" poem. The [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome music]] that plays in this scene is also [[TearJerker tear jerking]]. As is Penny saying "I love you, Rufus" while petting the grandfatherly cat.

!!''The Rescuers''



* Penny ''finally'' being adopted at the end, finding the loving home and parents she had longed so much for as her friends cheer them on.

!!''The Rescuers Down Under''

* Marahute thanks Cody by taking him on the ride of his life, and gives him a feather.
** Before that, when Marahute shows Cody her nest and he asks if they're due to hatch soon, she coos and fluffs up her feathers. Without uttering a single word, it's apparent that she's quite happy.
* Cody is kidnapped by [=McLeach=] and the boy is dragged away with no other human knowing what has happened and no help will ever come. However, one mouse begs to differ as he rushes to a mouse radio transmission station to [[GondorCallsForAid start a message relay]] to New York City to alert the Rescue Aid Society. In this sequence, you see a whole network of mice who have dedicated their lives to ensure that for the forgotten and oppressed, help is on the way.
** See the scene [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBPRvOtgy9M here]]. The heartwarming turns funny when you realize that the Rescue Aid Society has absolutely no problem with usurping proper channels to get their message through. Who cares if dozens of humans are confused at all of these "R.A.S"'s popping up on their screens if a child can be helped?
* Wilbur initially refuses to fly Bernard and Bianca to Australia (or anywhere) due to the massive blizzard outside. The moment they confirm that a child has been kidnapped and they're on a rescue mission? He's ready to fly!
* This moment:
-->'''Bianca''': Oh, Cody, you mustn't give up hope. Bernard is still out there.
-->'''Jake''': That's right. If there's anyone that can bail us out of this scrape, it's old Bernard. ''(surreptitiously)'' Nice bluff, Miss B.
-->'''Bianca''': I wasn't bluffing! You don't know Bernard like I do. [[{{Determinator}} He'll never give up.]]
** Even more heartwarming when connected to the first film. Bianca has always believed that Bernard is capable of more than others (including Bernard himself) think he is, and he's always lived up to her expectations.
* At the end, when Bernard finally manages the speech he's been working up to the ''[[CannotSpitItOut whole movie]]'': "Miss Bianca, before anything else happens ... [[spoiler:will you marry me?]]"
** [[spoiler:"Oh Bernard, of ''course'' I will!"]]
** "[[RomanticFalseLead Well]] [[GracefulLoser done, mate.]]"
* A small, but very sweet moment: on the plane to Australia, Bernard and Bianca are sleeping. She wakes up, smiles, and wakes Bernard up by kissing him on the cheek.
* A meta one: after Jeff Katzenberg pulled all of the marketing for this film when it was clear ''Film/HomeAlone'' was going to be [[DuelingMovies the more successful movie that season]], co-director Mike Gabriel called him up in tears over the incident and Katzenberg, not usually known for being so personable, [[PetTheDog sat on the phone with him for several hours to comfort him]].
