Tear Jerker / The Chipmunk Adventure

• The Chipettes singing "My Mother" FULL STOP. And this is before they were adopted. It's a shocking reminder that they don't often have in the show. All of the main characters are orphans.
• The baby penguin needing his mother badly. He would have died if Brittany hadn't changed her mind.
  • Also of note was the penguin's mother herself; she knows (and in all likelihood witnessed) her baby's abduction. Right before the Chippettes return it, she is seen agonizing over her child's empty crib and desperately cries in her husband's arms. It's reminiscent to the pain of when a human child goes missing, especially since it's implied that the mother wasn't going to last much longer without her baby.
• The Chipettes discovering that the entire race was a trick; you can just see the fear on Brittany's face when she realizes that their friends are still out there and in danger.
• Theodore about to be sacrificed. Alvin and Simon unsuccessfully try to rescue him, and only out of sheer luck do the Chipettes save them.
• Alvin's hat falls off as the kids are being kidnapped. Cue Alvin screaming for help and Dave's worry.
  Alvin: Dave! HELP!
  (The car carrying Alvin drives off as Dave runs out onto the road horrified)
  Dave: Somebody! Help! My son's in trouble!
