Heartwarming / Home Alone 3

• Alex getting rewarded for his role in catching the gang, as well as getting respect from his family for it (in contrast to Kevin's, who didn't know about Harry and Marv), who don't even seem to care too much about any of the damage his traps caused to the house (no doubt because of said reward).
• Alex's older siblings seem to take as much joy in tormenting him as Kevin's did, but the instant it seems like he's in real danger they close ranks and show they are firmly on the side of their younger brother. In the end, they seem more happy about the fact that Alex is alive and well than any incidental damage done to the house. They also congratulate him on dispatching all four spies single-handedly.
• When going to another house for safety, Alex encounters Mrs. Hess tied up in the garage and left to freeze to death. He then proceeds to close the door and place his own jacket over her, even though it's not too much bigger than a large towel. After untying her and getting her to safety, he then says to her, "It's really cold out there. You're a tough ol' bird." She then replies back, "And you are a sweet young man." It's sweet that he was able to not only save her but for her to be thankful for him, especially since she felt rightful resentment over being asked to regularly babysit by a family who doesn't even otherwise invite her into their home. Furthermore, when the cops do arrive, his first concern is that they get her warmed up as she was still ill from the open door. The film ends with her and the family sitting around having cocoa and thanking Alex.
