4* What does Ariel do when Morgana takes her daughter and tries to use her to get the trident? She uses Eric's sword to cut one of the sails so it knocks Morgana away from Melody. Eric grabs a rope to go catch the infant Melody and does so with style. They're a MamaBear and PapaWolf duo who show how to protect their child right.
5* [[CowardlyLion Tip and Dash]] saving Melody from nearly drowning to death. What makes it even more awesome is that they took down the giant Undertow, even after seeing him. Hell, Dash uses his own body to cushion Melody's fall when Morgana pushes her off the top of the ice tower. These two may have started as cowards, but they end up being true heroes.
6* Morgana raising her ice throne.
7* Flounder standing up to Morgana: he's a tiny fish with no magical power, and she's a powerful, octopus-like witch creature who could kill Flounder if she saw fit, but that doesn't stop him from (almost, if Undertow wouldn't have interrupted) giving her a piece of his mind.
8** Speaking of which, Flounder [[DeathGlare glaring daggers]] at Undertow when he gets in his way. Undertow isn't his true size at the moment, but he could still '''easily''' harm Flounder with his sharp teeth... and yet Flounder ''mouths off to him'', and refuses to back down when the shark threatens him in return.
9--->"Grr yourself, pipsqueak."
10* In the climax, Melody taking on Morgana. A twelve-year-old girl with no magical powers taking on a powerful sorceress who has the ability to overpower and kill her. Melody doesn't defeat the sea hag, but this girl [[NervesOfSteel has more guts than someone twice her age.]]
11* The way Melody jumps and clambers all the way up a quickly rising ice throne is pretty cool, even before she gets the trident back. And the fact that she can only make such a skillful climb because she has human legs rather than a mermaid tail.
12* Sebastian, of all characters, scaring away Undertow when he's still stuck in his piranha form.
13* The way the merfolk guards rise from the sea and lock swords with each another to signal King Triton's entrance is quite epic.
14* Ariel saves Eric ''for the third time'' from Morgana's sting rays. Bonus points for Sebastian helping this time.
15* Ariel asks Scuttle to go get help. He returns with what can only be described as an ''army''.
16-->'''Scuttle:''' HANG ON SWEETIE! THE CAVALRY IS COMIN'!
17* Eric, with only a sword, [[BewareTheNiceOnes demands that]] [[NervesOfSteel Morgana (who now has the trident)]] [[PapaWolf tell him what she's done to Melody.]] This guy's got guts.
18* Melody manages to steal back the trident from Morgana and while at the Sea Witch's mercy, she ''jabs Morgana in the tentacle'' with the trident before tossing it to Triton so he can finish the job.
19-->'''Melody''': Grandfather... I think this belongs to you! ''[Tosses the trident'']\
20'''Morgana''': [[BigNo NOOOO!!!]]\
21''[In slow motion, the trident sails into the air before finally landing in Triton's hand]''\
22'''Triton''': ''[Catches the trident and thunder and lightning break the air as he glares with fury]'' Never again will you or yours threaten my family! There will be no escape for you... ''ever!'' ''[Freezes Morgana into a block of ice, which slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea cave]''
23** Triton's even more awesome in the Polish dub:
24-->'''Triton:''' You will never trouble my family again! There is no mercy for you anymore! ''Die!''
25** The same can be said about the Italian dub (it certainly helps that the voice of the voice actor is at least twice more thunderous than Kenneth Mars'). In this case, Triton outright chastises her whole race because of the trouble they caused during his reign. In hindsight, this was indeed the case both in the first movie as well as in the animated series.
26-->'''Triton:''' Never again, Morgana, will you or your kind threaten my family! There will be no way out for you in the future! Ever!
27* When Triton gives Melody the choice between either between staying on land with her parents or living in Atlantica with him, Melody states she has a better idea: use the trident to dissolve the wall so the people of the land and sea can be together; she presumably spends her time switching from human to mermaid and back from then on.
