"It's the least we could do for a very small Piglet...who's done such very big things."
  • At the beginning, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Tigger are helping Pooh get honey and Piglet wants to help as well. It's a sweet moment considering that Pooh usually tries to get honey on his own (with varying degrees of success).
  • At the end of the movie, Pooh reveals to Piglet that he changed the name of Pooh Corner to Pooh and Piglet Corner.
  • Piglet and Rabbit bonding with Kanga and Roo respectively in the flashback to the latter pair first moving in. This is especially a Pet the Dog moment for the usually-grumpy Rabbit, who'd beforehand been planning on basically kidnapping Roo and holding him hostage to not give back to Kanga unless she agreed to leave the Hundred Acre Wood forever.
    Roo: *glomps Rabbit* I like you, Rabbit.
    Rabbit: I....like you too, Roo.
    • This is called back to at the party during the ending, where Piglet is seen getting a hug from Kanga. Also, when Pooh brings the incident up, Rabbit denies it ever happening.
  • Back in present day, when the group check for Piglet at Kanga's house, she offers them cookies for the trip. Pooh asks to take an extra one for Piglet.
  • Doubling as a Moment of Awesome, Piglet building a house for Eeyore on his own. True, it's using the materials of and following the exact same design as the house Eeyore built himself, only being built at a new location, but it is much better than what Pooh and Tigger were able to put together.
  • In fact, this whole film can be seen as one big tribute, both in-universe and out, to Piglet and his loyalty to his friends.
  • Considering the movie is pivoted by Piglet feeling unappreciated, as soon as his friends notice he is absent (convinced he got lost during their incident with the bees), it takes only seconds for them to begin a committed search party. While they may not always take notice of him, the others are blatantly devoted to Piglet.
  • The Continuity Nod to The Tigger Movie, when the gang goes through Piglet's book of memories, and Tigger spots a drawing with the most of them in their Tigger costumes, and calling it his "family reunitin'", showing that he came to appreciate what his friends tried to do for him that night, any feelings of being tricked gone.
  • "The More I Look Inside" montage, after the gang start to lose hope finding Piglet in the storm, they retreat sadly to his house. Roo draws Piglet's face on the condensation of window, though the rain drips on one of it's eyes, looking like a tear, making Roo even more upset. Pooh comforts him by drawing on a big smile.
    Pooh: That's the Piglet I know. Always glad to see you.
    Tigger: Always thoughtful.
    Rabbit: Always brave.
    Eeyore: Never thinking of himself.
  • When the gang gathers the pages from Piglet's scrapbook, Rabbit lets out an "Ah-ha!" and Pooh shouts "Eureka!"
  • When Pooh is hanging onto a branch on a log, the rest of the gang forms a Human Ladder to rescue him, but Tigger's tail can't quite make it. The gang wonders what should they do now and they need something or someone smaller and then Piglet scrambles in! Everyone, including Eeyore is really glad to see the little guy and he is the one who rescues Pooh.
  • After the others feel bad for losing his scrapbook, Piglet tells them it isn't important, he hasn't done anything worth remembering anyway. They then lead him to his house, now filled with the sketches they had made of their friend and all he's done. Piglet is left in Tears of Joy.
  • Eeyore is considerably and genuinely more cheerful during several moments of this film more than any other moments in the franchise. Specific moments include the beginning of the film where the gang succeeds in getting honey, "Sing-Ho (For the Life of a Bear)" where he's dancing and audibly singing with the others, and during the party at the end of the film where he actually laughs over Piglet accidentally pinning his tail on Tigger (even Rabbit finds this funny). Considering this is Eeyore we're talking about, this is very sweet to watch.
    • Speaking of Rabbit, seeing him loosen up at the party is also really enjoyable.
