- In the midst of all the animals being summoned in "Pomp and Circumstance", a pair of wolves stop their attack on a rabbit to go join the procession. A small truce for the good of all their species.
- The end of the segment. Donald and Daisy, having spent most of the segment depressed and Alone Among the Couples, experience pure happiness at seeing each other again.
- And as the song wraps up, they hold each other close, enjoying the first rainbow together.
- Both Donald and Daisy were working for Noah. They witnessed many miracles: A miracle for the land, a miracle for life, a miracle for men. But in the end, as both of them were reunited, they had a miracle just for them both.
- The "Rhapsody in Blue" segment. By the end, everyone is happy and has received what they dream of—Rachel gets to spend time with her loving parents, John gets to escape his awful wife and have fun at the club while Duke plays, and Jobless Joe gets a job. All of it being set to the final, always-memorable, Last Chorus Slowdown main melody of the piece is absolutely perfect.
- Joe's happy ending is especially satisfying because while the three others wanted something precious but not indispensable, Joe wanted something he desperately needed. The three others get a few seconds of relief and fun in their stories, but not Joe (he's even a victim of a Kick the Dog moment!). Also during his entire story, Joe never smiles, not even once. When he finds a job by a sheer miracle, he spends the remainder of the segment with an impossibly huge grin. Even waving at John's wife who screams to be put back down.
- The ending of "The Firebird Suite", when the stag helps the newly-reborn forest sprite bring life to the devastated forest, all set to the segment music's awesome finale.
- Animated George Gershwin's cameo in "Rhapsody in Blue".
- The baby whale returning to his mother in the "Pines of Rome" segment.
- This adaptation of the "Steadfast Tin Soldier" gets a happier ending than the original.
- The boy who owns the Tin Soldier gives his toy a little hand-hug when it falls out of the fish his mother bought and places it lovingly back in the box, evidently valuing it no less for the defect.
