Two people sticking tongues out at each other is surely a violent brawl.

Surely there's a lot of comedy in this Made-for-TV film featuring characters from literature of the UK and the Queen herself.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • Various Disney counterparts of numerous characters watching the Changing of the Guard and Mr. Tibbs trying to grab the guards' attention.
  • The living statues dancing and posing at the Victoria Memorial during the start of "Chim Chim Cheree", especially that some of them are half-naked. The camera pans quickly to Bert at the top of Buckingham Palace and what's even better is that the line he says next is especially funny given the context.
    "Whew! What a sight!"
  • The entire sequence where Robin Hood appears before Captain Hook is hilarious, full stop.
    Robin Hood: Oi, Hookie! Hookie-dear, what's going on here?
    Captain Hook: Robin Hood! By carbonated soda, I don't believe it.
    (The audience laughs)
    Robin Hood: Yes! It is I, Robin Hood! Admire my shapely garbs and tight-fitting outfit. Which is perfect for living in the forest and it definitely leaves a mark.
    Captain Hook: Pish! I ain't afraid of you; you look like a fitness instructor who lives in a tree!
    Robin Hood: You're very judgemental for a man who's about to die!
    (Captain Hook and Robin Hook swordfight whilst the pirates and Lost Boys fight each other. The audience applauds.)
    Captain Hook: Come back here you dogs! Or I'll cast that green in you! Is it mutiny?
    Merrymen: (look at Captain Hook awkwardly)
    Robin Hood: A bad workman always blames his tools!
  • Who wouldn't think the two tossing Flowery Insults at each other would be so funny?
    Captain Hook: You and me, leotard boy!
    Robin Hood: (briefly looks at his clothes) I'm not scared of you, spaniel-head!
    (The audience laughs)
    Captain Hook: (stutters) Monster's carbuncle!
    Robin Hood: (hesitates) Uh...weasel-face!
    (The audience laughs again. Captain Hook and Robin Hood stick tongues out at each other to intimidate.)
    Peter Pan: (pushes both Captain Hook and Robin Hood away from each other) Excuse me? Is this a fight to the death? Or a medical inspection?
    (The audience laughs yet again)
    Captain Hook: (tries to speak with his tongue out) Ahem, excuse me. Carry on.
    Peter Pan: (to Robin Hood) Leave him to me.
  • Also when the audience distracts Captain Hook by chanting "tick tock".
    Captain Hook: (while trying to fight Peter Pan) Wait a minute! What's that noise?! Stupid crocodile! (lets go of Peter Pan and stumbles on one leg)
    Audience: Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!
    Captain Hook: (glares at the audience) Wait a minute! Tis not the dreaded crocodile! (points at the audience with his sword) Tis you, you puling sporn! Making silly noises!
    (The audience jeers)
    Captain Hook: You're just a ravel of children! Whereas a crocodile is a large amphibian.
    • Heck, Robin Hood’s Spock Speak banter that eventually gets interrupted by Captain Hook qualifies.
    Robin Hood: -an alligator or an unusually obese cayman. In fact, an overfed guana-
    Captain Hook: Oh, be quiet!
  • The other characters spotting the Gruffalo approaching Captain Hook from behind and later getting chased off by it.
    Robin Hood: Behind you!
    Peter Pan: It's behind you!
    Captain Hook: Oh, come on! You can't fool me twice!
    Peter Pan: (chanting) Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!
    Captain Hook: There is no crocodile! That's just- (flinches) Whoa! A gruffalo! NOOOOO! (runs away)
  • Tracy Beaker and her friends finding a crowd of characters, especially costumed ones, at The London Underground, with many of them running around and one colliding into a pillar.
    • Also when the White Rabbit weaves through the crowd in order to talk to the Ticket Master.
  • Burglar Bill being pursued by the Goodies after he magically appears, with William kneeling behind him and Horrid Henry pushing him over, then dog-piled by the rest of the Goodies.
  • The pirates try to confiscate the golden tickets given to the Goodies from the Palace but the tickets are then rescued...thanks to Noddy of all characters.
    Pirate Queen: Curses! Curses! Defeated by Noddy!
  • This line that Cruella’s chaperone says after his boss says it’s “rug time”, referring to turning the corgis into them.
    Chaperone: Well at least they’re gonna be rugs. I’m just a doormat. Come on.
  • Pretty much every time a Shout-Out is slung by a character. Examples would be when Cruella mentions the Arctic Monkeys, Gucci, and Elton John.
  • During the BBC Newsflash, where Sophie Raworth is reporting from Buckingham Palace, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum pick up garden flamingoes and skip along in rhythm at the top of the Palace steps whilst Dennis and Gnasher approach her from behind and play around with her while she struggles to keep her composure.
  • Mr. Plod making snarky remarks at both The Famous Five and Tracy Beaker’s group of friends.
    Mr. Plod: (to Tracy Beaker and her friends) You don’t look like the Famous Five. Otherwise there’d be five of you. (turns to the Famous Five) And these slightly overaged people wouldn’t be here. Hang on a minute! You’re not the Secret Seven, are you...and one of you’s a fake?! (looks at Timmy) I don’t like the look of that hairy feller down there. (turns to Tracy Beaker) Are you a fake? You, pincher! (pinches her arm)
    Tracy Beaker: Oi! Stop it! I am Tracy Beaker and these are my friends.
    Mr. Plod: Oh, friends, eh? What do you know about her handbag?
    Tracy Beaker: Don’t know nothing about a handbag.
    Mr. Plod: Right, but let me put it another way: where is Her Majesty’s handbag?
    Tracy Beaker: Don’t search me.
    Mr. Plod: I will! Directly! What’s this? (inspects Tracy Beaker’s handbag) No, that’s plastic, that won’t be it.
    Tracy Beaker: Excuse me?
  • The montage of Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, Mowgli, the White Rabbit, Kipper, Spot the Dog, and Rupert Bear searching the palace gardens for the handbag.
    • Kipper shoveling sand at the shore of the garden’s lake and finding an empty wine bottle instead of a handbag.
    • Also Kipper getting stuck through a window.
    • Mowgli somersaulting across the grass.
  • Whenever Burglar Bill constantly tells the other Baddies he’s going to steal the handbag. The first time all the other Baddies stare at him with unamused faces.
    • The second time was when after the Baddies expressed their dismay at how they’re defeated or could not set their plan in motion or just downright complaining that the Goodies finally made their way to the party...with Burglar Bill telling everyone he finally got his hands on the Queen’s handbag...four times.
    "WE KNOW YOU GOT THE HANDBAG!!"
  • Cruella de Vil saying "The bitch is back" when she approaches Mr. Tibbs and the corgis. Though it's used as a metaphor and referring to a female dog (since the corgis are dogs after all), it's funny given that it's also a swear. Geez, Cruella, don't you know you're in a kids' show?
  • The Child Catcher swerving across the floor at a corridor of Buckingham Palace as more Mr. Men characters walk past him and Tracy Beaker glares at him. One of the most devious villains of the film, walking like a drunkard.
    "Whatever."
  • Tracy Beaker being inherently snarky towards the Child Catcher.
    Child Catcher: Oh! A kiddy-winkie.
    Tracy Beaker: What're you doing?
    Child Catcher: Nothing, nothing! (gestures) This way, my little mite...
    (Tracy gives him a funny look.)
    Child Catcher: Would you like a lollipop? All free today!
    Tracy Beaker: Who are you?
    Child Catcher: Tasty ice cream, my dear?
    Tracy Beaker: I'm surprised you've got any teeth.
    Child Catcher: What a charming child you are. So...contemporary. Come along, my dear...
    Tracy Beaker: Do you think I'm stupid? You're a stranger! And a loser.
    Child Catcher: (pauses) Oh! (pulls out a candy from a paper bag) Bullseye...? Or perhaps...a hum...bug?
    Tracy Beaker: A humbug? What do you think this is? And your clothes. Like you live under a sink.
    Child Catcher: How...dare you! Now cut ze cackle and get in... (points at the door) there!
    Tracy Beaker: Read my lips. No, mate! And get lost!
    Child Catcher: Foiled by a child... You are fortunate, my dear, for I have just remembered...I left the iron on.
    Tracy Beaker: Weirdo...
  • The maid getting Angelina's name wrong.
    "Oh, hey, you! Sebelina! Oh, sorry, I mean Trampolina! Now's your big chance! Spin it out a bit! And good luck. Try not to fall over; they hate that."
  • Peter Pan slinging a unique insult at Captain Hook.
    "You are not my destiny! You're just some sad old geezer in your mother's dressing gown and your grandmother's wig!"
  • Pretty much every moment the audience laughs at absolutely qualifies.
  • Cruella de Vil with her hair in a wreck after the corgis attacked her.
  • Harry Potter saying "I can't see Voldemort with a handbag myself".
