* While Corny isn't as nice as his 2007 version, he and his assistant Tammy note that "the kids don't care" about keeping the show segregated. In the same conversation, Corny and Tammy refer to Maybelle as their friend while pleading for their boss to integrate the show.

** The film really shows off the whole family dynamic between Wilbur, Edna, and Tracy after she gets in the Corny Collins show. Her family is really supportive of her all the way up to the end, when she has to be freed from the reformatory to get her crown back from Amber in the Miss Auto Show '63.

* Doubled as a funny moment. When Link shows up at the Turnblad residence seeking Tracy, Edna welcomes him in when he says he can’t eat and offers to cook something for him. Something else to note is this is after the protest and Edna doesn’t seem to resent Link for not joining Tracy in the protest.

* Also in the original, Maybelle and Li'l Inez managing to have the governor let Tracy be freed from the reformatory so she can get to the Auto Show to give Amber a run for her money. But her dancing towards the Auto Show ''with a lot of her supporters'' really sells it!
* Without Love, especially in the stage musical. Is it a little cheesy sometimes? Yes. Will it bring a smile to your face and make your heart swell up? Absolutely
* When [[spoiler: Inez wins the pageant]] Maybelle can be heard saying something that sounds like ''That's my baby''. In general Seaweed and Maybelle are overjoyed seeing her win
