Heartwarming / The Magic Roundabout (2005)

• In the opening credits sequence, a short scene of Dougal sitting with Florence outside her house on the swing, telling her a funny joke which she giggles is just sweet.
• Before Dougal leaves with his friends to get the diamonds, Florence tells him not to blame himself, regardless of what happens. It shows that after being accidentally trapped on the roundabout, Florence (and those who are also trapped) doesn't give Dougal a hard shoulder unlike everyone else.
• Brian, who has a crush on Ermintrude and while shy to confess his love, instantly coming to Ermintrude's rescue when Zeebad pulls on her tail just as she is rescuing Dougal from Zeebad's lair, and bites Zeebad on the arm to make him let go.
  • Ermintrude repays the favour later by defending Brian from Zeebad as he was standing up to him.
• Halfway through the film, there is the daydream sequence with "Mr. Blue Sky" playing in the background. It starts off with Dougal playing with Florence as they run happily from her house towards the village where Zebedee arrives to take them all for a picnic.
  • Dylan is then shown standing on top of the windmill playing a guitar in tune with the music as Florence plays ball with Dougal.
  • Ermintrude singing the lyrics of the song whilst sitting on one of the windmill sails as Brain looks on with admire.
  • Dougal getting everyone together for a group photo, which is then seen on the table inside Florence's house before the daydream sequence ends.
• Transitioning from a Tear Jerker moment, Dougal manages to wake a comatose Florence up by licking her face. When she wakes up fully conscious, she thanks Dougal for saving her life and everyone else's.
  Dougal: Oh, Florence, I thought I'd lost you forever!
  Florence: And I thought I'd lost you, too, Dougal. But you saved my life and everyone else's.
  Dougal: Oh, stop it. It's what any incredibly heroic dog would do.
  Florence: Oh. So, you don't want a...little reward?
  Dougal: Oh, no. I've learnt my lesson. I'm not having anything more to do with lollipops, or gobstoppers, or toffees.
• Zebedee reviving Sam in order to get the Magic Roundabout back working again. He does this by taking the third diamond out of its slot from the roundabout and placing it back into Sam's corpse. As Sam comes back to life, Zebedee says to him "It's time for you to return where you belong, Sam." and Sam nods in agreement before Zebedee reverts him back to his inanimate form and places him back on top of the roundabout.
• The ending when everyone rides on the roundabout, which is fully restored back to its former glory and functioning once again, is really happy and charming as the song "The Magic Roundabout" sung by Kylie Minogue (who provided the voice of Florence) plays.
  • As Brian is riding on one of the horses on the roundabout, he gives Ermintrude a flower, which she gladly accepts and even kisses him.
  • When Dougal is riding the roundabout with Florence, he notices that she is wanting to feed Dougal with a sugar cube, as she still wants to reward Dougal for saving her and those who are trapped on the roundabout. Though he resists at first, he jumps up and eats it from her hand, just as Florence giggles.
