* When Lewis finally gets to see his mother.birth mother.
** Come to think of it, it's also the only time [[HarsherInHindsight Wilbur gets to see his biological grandmother]]. Likely after hearing stories from his father, it must've pained Wilbur to be able to see his real grandma abandon his own father as a baby. [[FridgeBrilliance It's no wonder Wilbur was reluctant to let Lewis see his mom]]; he wasn't sure if he even wanted to see his real grandmother as he spent his whole life with Lucile and Bud as his real family.

* [[FreezeFrameBonus It's brief and hard to miss on first watches of this movie,]] but re-watch the part where Lewis accidentally calls Franny "Mom". She has a look of confusion on her face at first.. but then, she softens almost immediately after. Just a few scenes earlier, Wilbur told the entire Robinson family that Lewis was an orphan. She probably realized that she was the closest thing Lewis had to a mother figure at the moment. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments No wonder she decided to adopt him immediately after.]]

* Wilbur blurting out to his mother that he never planned to take Lewis back to find his mom, right in front of him no less. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PapAMEjtk9A The opening music during that part]] is so heartbreaking that it makes one want to give Lewis a hug when he hides behind a topiary and begins crying.
** Particularly poignant is the part where Lewis says "You lied to me?" It could be described as a hiss almost but instead of making him sound angry, he sounds legitimately and truly hurt at being ''used'' by someone he obviously had come to consider a friend and the fact that this comes after the "Guess we make a pretty good team."/"Yeah...guess we do..." exchange makes it hurt worse. Anyone who has ever felt used (legitimately or otherwise) by someone they considered a friend can totally relate.

** What's even worse, there's an understandable reason why Goob would want revenge on Lewis- it was ''him'' who kept Goob up for multiple nights straight trying to make his invention, which caused him to fall asleep in the middle of the game and lead to all of the events above.
