  • The opening of the film itself: everyone knows the story of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, with the fateful collision given ominous and terrifying buildup as the massive asteroid approaches Earth, with the dinosaurs below helpless and unaware of their impending doom... only for it to cut to the Armageddon-causing rock completely missing the planet, becoming a harmless shooting star in the night sky as the dinosaurs briefly look on before going back to grazing. The fiery demise of their entire world and nearly everything living in it just barely missed them, and they have no idea whatsoever!
  • Baby Buck hitting things with his stick, including Poppa's leg, Arlo's eggshell, and Arlo himself.
    • Not to mention him hatching with legs first, then running around with the eggshell still around him.
  • When Buck pulls a prank on Arlo, who was just about to feed the cluckers without being afraid. Buck faking his death (lying on the ground, looking like he was about to die) just sells it.
    Buck: (whispering weakly) Arlo... (Arlo looks over at him, he looks like he'd been beaten up)...come here...
    Arlo: Buck! (approaches him) What happened?
    Buck: I came to help you with your chores...(dramatically)...and then they attacked!
    Arlo: You're gonna be okay.
    Buck: (wealky) Tell Momma I love her... (gasps) I see a light. (sighs, then seemingly dies)
    Arlo: I'll go get help!
    * Suddenly, a squawk! is heard. A scary clucker rises not far behind and begins to attack Arlo. It is then revaled that the "clucker" was just a costume on Buck's tail, used to scare Arlo.*
    Buck: (laughing) Oh, you should see your face!
  • When Spot is trying to bring food to Arlo, he brings him a huge flying bug. Arlo refuses to eat it, but Spot proceeds to rip the bug's head off with his teeth.
  • Forrest Woodbrush, the large Styracosaurus with multiple critters resting on him, and the names he gives them. Despite not coming up with a purpose for Debbie, he still insists he needs her.
    Forrest: ...this is Dreamcrusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals...
    And this... is Debbie. *beat*
  • When Forrest tells Arlo to never lose Spot, Debbie goes crazy, attacking Arlo and Spot. This leads to a chase scene, with Forrest chasing Debbie, who is chasing Arlo and Spot.
  • Arlo and Spot play a game in which they blow gopherlike mammals out of their holes.
    • And after they scare Arlo out of the field, it's rather funny watching them all just drop back into their holes with a synchronized growl like "And don't come back!"
  • The Mushroom Samba that follows when Arlo and Spot eat the rotten fruit.
  • The little argument the T. rex siblings have after saving Arlo and Spot from the Pterosaurs:
    Ramsey: Well ain't you just the cutest thing! *scratches Spot under the chin*
    Arlo: He likes you!
    Nash: Imagine that, Ramsey! Even with your stinky face! *sidles up against Ramsey*
    Ramsey: Nash! Boundaries? This *gestures around her* is my personal bubble!
    Nash: Aww, that ain't your bubble! *tackles Ramsey* This is your bubble!
  • The two massive T. rexes scuffle, while a confused Arlo watches
    Butch (arriving with a Jurassic Park style foot-stomp): Nash! Get out of your sister's bubble!
    • Sam Elliot saying "your sister's bubble" in that context. That is all.
  • There's also the scene where Arlo goes out into the middle of the longhorn herd onto rock, where he's supposed to draw the attention of the rustlers by screaming/yelling. His first couple attempts are... lackluster (until Spot "corrects" his technique with a bite to the leg).
  • The rustlers confronting Arlo.
    Bubbha: You don't look like you're doin' "nothin'"! What does he look like he's doin' Lurleane?
    Pervis: Aw c'mon, Bubbha! Ask me! Ask me what I think they're doin'!
    Bubbha: Pervis! Shut. Yer mouth.
  • During the campfire sequence, we get this gem from Ramsey and Nash after Nash tells Arlo how he scarred his foot.
    Nash: Still can't feel my toes.
    Ramsey: Which comes in handy when you're kicking piles of bullshi-
