  • Diego Taking the Bullet to protect Manny from Soto in the final epic showdown, even though it means his death.
    • As mentioned above, the epic showdown was also awesome.
  • Manny rescuing Diego – at the time, his enemy – from a river of lava about to consume him.
  • The reconciliation scene between Manny and the human chief Runar when he returns his son Roshan to him. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
  • Diego limping forward to reunite with Manny and Sid at the end, and his goodbye to Roshan – covering one side of his face for "Where's The Baby".
  • Sid shoves Zeke, a saber-toothed cat, into a tiny hole after saving the baby from him.
    • What he says as he does this also counts.
      Sid: SURVIVAL! OF THE! FITTEST!! I don't think so!
      • That was a team effort. Roshan remembered Diego's little game of "Where's The Baby" and mimicked it in front of Sid to say that there was a tiger behind Sid. Sid remembered the game too, and then instantly remembered that the only reason Roshan remembered the game was because Diego did it. So in a way, Roshan saved Sid and they made what would have been easy prey for Zeke a complete disaster.
  • As Soto slowly makes his way toward Roshan, Manny knocks him aside to a rock wall, the impact causing sharp icicles to fall on the evil saber, impaling him and instantly killing him.
    • Then scaring off the other cowardly sabers.
  • "Sorry fellas! He caught a little frostbite!"
  • Sid defeating the dodos single-handedly.
  • Sid's ice-skating (well, until he crashes) and later his skiing and snowboarding away from the sabers.
  • Manny taking on two rhinos to protect Sid. To reiterate, he doesn't like Sid, he just seems like an annoyance and while the rhinos seem to have a real grudge against him, when they say they're just gonna kill him and leave the corpse for the vultures, what's Manny's reaction?
  • Hell, even just watching Roshan's tribe fighting a pack of Smilodon with nothing but stone weapons and a pair of dogs. It was pretty clear by the time the dogs were released that if Soto hadn't pulled them back, Runar and his tribe would probably have had a few more Saber pelts to wear.
