4	* Lampy accidentally steps on Blanky, and they argue over the fact that he stepped on him. Even Kirby sticks up for Blanky in the same childlike, "Did not! Did too!" fashion.
5	* Blanky gets caught on some branches and pleads for the other appliances not to leave him. They immediately come back and untangle him from the branches.
6	* A nest of mice attempt to drag Blanky into a hole, but Toaster manages to save him by pulling him out in time. Immediately afterwards, Blanky gasps in shock as one of the mice chews on the Master's picture. Blanky yanks back the photo, yelling, "Stop it! Give me that!" The Master's picture really is important to Blanky since he has the most attachment to him.
7	* When the appliances are heading into the forest, Blanky nervously believes there are lions in there. Radio teasingly responds, "And tigers and bears, oh my!" with Lampy sarcastically saying that Blanky is such a baby, causing Blanky to cower in fear. Toaster pushes them away and after a few seconds affectionately rubs Blanky's head, making him smile.
8	* After raging himself into an explosive death upon being reminded that the Master never played with him, the Air Conditioner gets repaired by the now-adult kid. He looks genuinely touched as he realizes he'd misjudged the Master.
9	** Immediately after his explosion, Kirby mutters that the air conditioner "was a jerk anyway"...then briefly glances at him, implying that he feels a least a little bad for him.
10	** The last thing he says before exploding is how he can't help it if "the kid was too short to reach my dials!" Rob takes a moment to [[ExactWords switch him on]] and bask in his cooling before leaving, giving the AC some much-needed closure.
11	* When his violent tug-o-war with Blanky results in the Master's photo falling to the ground, shattering the frame, Kirby's anger immediately gives way to shame. Notice how, while the others just wordlessly sigh, he actually gives a sheepish, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone "Oh no..."]] He ''does'' care about the Master.
12	* After making it clear just how much the other appliances annoyed him and that he had a terrible phobia of water, Kirby leaps into the waterfall to save his friends.
13	** After saving them, Kirby claims he just slipped and fell in, but the other appliances see right through him and laugh about it. Even sweeter and more heartwarming when Blanky lovingly hugs him, saying, "You can't fool us, we love you."
14	* Toaster was willing to [[HeroicSacrifice die (or become horribly mutilated and therefore destined for the junkyard) to save both the Master]] '''[[HeroicSacrifice and]]''' [[HeroicSacrifice the other appliances]].
15	* Any time Toaster gives that big, wide grin. It gives you a sort of warm, toasty feeling inside.
16	* The subtle chain of events which help the gang [[CharacterDevelopment evolve from a bickering group into a family]]: they spend the first night of their journey sleeping far apart from one another. Then, after his tragic encounter with the ''narcissus'' flower the next day, Toaster decides to start being nicer to Blanky, who then offers to be the group's tent for the night. Then, when Blanky gets sucked into the storm, Lampy risks his life to recharge the battery by using himself as a lightning rod, for which the normally [[DeadpanSnarker smarmy]] Radio, once his sworn enemy, gives him some [[SincerityMode sincere respect]]. And finally, Kirby, the most curmudgeonly of them all, throws himself into the waterfall despite his fear of water to rescue them. By the time they finally reach the city, they're TrueCompanions, and by the very end, they're [[EverybodyLaughsEnding all laughing and joking together]].
17	* After the appliances escape from Elmo St. Peters' shop, they are overjoyed to be on the road again. They pause as they reach the top of a hill and behold the "City of Lights". Against all conceivable odds and through the most intense and breaking experiences that could have destroyed any semblance of friendship any group of friends could possibly have, they made it together.
18	** Combined with some of the most joyous and heartwarmingly triumphant music this scene could have possibly ever had, Lampy's single line, his subsequent whoop for joy, and Blanky's touching, silent moment as he takes out the Master's photo and hugs it (as he's happy that they'll be reunited with him soon) seals the deal in terms of TearsOfJoy.
19	--->'''Lampy:''' Wow.\
20	''(The appliances go down the hill)''\
21	'''Lampy:''' YEE-HOOO!
22	* The appliances admiring Rob's graduation photo and saying how proud they are that the little boy who used to play with them grew up to be a hard-working, accomplished young man.
23	* While the other appliances are all dedicated in their own right to find the Master, few are as devoted to finding him as Blanky. Near the end when the Master finds them in the dump, Blanky is the first one he spots, and what does he do? He snuggles him like he was a kid again. Given how much crap the gang had gone through at that point and how much emphasis has been placed on Blanky's love of the Master, it's not hard to imagine how Blanky must have felt at that point.
24	* In the Polish dub of "City of Lights," Lampy's line as they're going through the tunnel is "When darkness is all around, I'll beam light". It fit well with the scene and it's a sweet translation from the original line as well.
25	* When the appliances see the parts shop owner rip the cord off his blender, they quietly grab their own cords. Since Blanky doesn't have one, he instead grabs Radio's for him.
26	* When the dumpster truck arrives to grab the garbage container full of the five main appliances and dump them there, only TV runs to the bedroom window and sees this happening with a frightened look on his face, at first. Then, when the truck prepares to leave, he silently makes a mental note of the name of the disposal, foreshadowing his attempt to get the Master down there.
27	* When they're on the magnet at the junkyard Radio accepts his fate, saying, "At least we'll go together," showing that he didn't mind dying alongside his friends. However, Blanky sees the Master looking around the junkyard and gets really happy, exclaiming, "Maybe he still needs us!" to which the other appliances agree.
28	* It's subtle, but Rob is clearly looking forward to showing off his family's cabin to his girlfriend Chris, and presumably wants this to be a romantic afternoon where he shares his personal childhood nostalgia with her. The way they lovingly hold hands while looking at it indicates that she's thinking of staying with this guy long enough for them to be able to have their own happy memories.
29	** She even puts her arm around his shoulder when they leave and she sees how sad he is to leave it for good. Awwww....
30	** And if you [[ContestedSequel consider the sequels canon]], you know that they eventually wind up HappilyMarried and with a son. That little hand hold definitely meant something.
31	* [[FreezeFrameBonus Blink and you'll miss it]]: Rob has a photo of Chris taped on the wall next to his bed.
32	* Rob fixing the Toaster after his HeroicSacrifice. As Chris tells him, nobody would blame Rob if he just disposed of a toaster that was mangled by the gears of a trash compactor and bought a new one, but no, Rob loves this one and knows he can still get some use out of it, so he goes to the trouble of making it work like new again. Toaster even gives him a silent smile after Rob shows Chris that he works again.
33	** Rob affectionately ribbing Chris by waving a fresh piece of toast that's just been cooked by the toaster she said he couldn't repair, giving her a smug, "A-HA!" and taking a triumphant bite. While it's a funny bit, he has every right to be proud of himself.
34	** The CallBack to Rob making a funny face in Toaster's reflection right before the toast pops up, as he had done in Toaster's dream.
35	* When the appliances are going with Rob and Chris to college, Blanky says, "We did good, didn't we?" to which Toaster pats him on the head and assures him that they did good.
