Awesome / Rugrats Go Wild!

• After a first act brimming with Epic Fail, Stu gets one in designing a Rube-Goldbergesque system to raise the Comvee, leading to the rescue of Nigel and the babies.
  • How about the fact that he Macguyvered a functional radio out of a coconut, a razor, gum and a bent up pen?
• Spike should get special mention for brazenly humiliating a clouded leopard, risking drowning to retrieve the raft for the pontoon repair, and being voiced by Bruce Willis.
• Betty spends the film overcompensating for Howard's breakdown. She dives back into the wreck to save a life raft (and Dil's pacifier), breaks up the group's roundtable shouting match, and takes an active role in the Comvee salvage alongside experienced explorer Marianne Thornberry.
• The three most self-interested characters in the movie each get a moment of their own:
  • Charlotte instantly taking charge to escape the capsized boat (complete with informed Fanservice Action Dress Rip), breaking through the hull with just a SHOE and then helping pull everyone out.
  • Angelica manages to pilot the bathysphere well enough to rescue the babies, Suzie and Nigel from the cave, even if they smack into an even bigger mess.
  • Debbie coming up with the final piece needed in the Comvee raising- the gum to hold the patch in place for the pontoon. And without a second thought she dives into the water and puts on the patch herself all in the name of saving her father.
• Donnie singlehandedly saving driving Siri away when she surrounds the kids and Nigel, followed by him quickly switching clothes with Chuckie again and sending him on Dil's stroller away from Siri when she tries to go after him.
  • Likewise, the entire chase scene can count as that too. From Chuckie going from the stroller (that scoops everyone else up) to riding on a single leaf like a surfboard, while evading Siri. Tommy gets a moment as he climbs over everyone to grab Chuckie's hand and pull him to safety. Finally, they ultimately give Siri the slip when they all launch from a freaking geyser and landing in a cave. All set to the tune of Damone's "Frustrated Unnoticed"
• The kids and Nigel encountering a giant squid in the bathysphere shortly after they're rescued. A prime example of how The World Is Just Awesome.
