"Remember me."
Even though this is a children's movie about four cute dinosaurs being sent to the present day to entertain children, it is not without tear-jerking moments.
  • The montage detailing how lonely Cecilia is, especially the photo of Family Night, where she's sitting by herself in a crowd of happy families.
  • The end of the second act straddles the line between being horrifying and depressing. The dinos are initially relieved that they've managed to find their friends and keep them out of trouble, only to discover that they're still too late by a few minutes. The kids have already effectively sold their souls to Screweyes and are now his slaves, who makes it very clear that he will do terrible things to them (by giving a demonstration) if the dinos don't pull a Heroic Sacrifice and take their place, giving the madman what he really wants.
  • "Remember me" are the last words Rex says to Louie and Cecilia while they sleep, before he mournfully walks away to be turned into a mindless, rampaging brute once again.
