* The end credits of the third ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' movie, ''Animation/MoonCastleTheSpaceAdventure'', scroll from right to left and take place in space, where the candy spaceship piloted by the goats dodges various obstacles. The ship and obstacles are also both depicted as 8-bit sprites.

** HilariousOuttakes appear in ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. That last one also features a company play based on a throwaway line from earlier. ''Monsters, Inc.'''s '''''opening''''' credits have a 2D effect of monsters wandering through all the doors like they were ScoobyDoobyDoors. They do a ShoutOut to this in the opening of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity''.

** ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' had a DancePartyEnding followed by a "collage" of characters from the first three films (minus Artie); the rest of the credits were on Rumple's fancy parchment paper, with inverted versions of the first film's credit illustrations.

* The end credits for ''Doogal'', the Main/SameLanguageDub version of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout2005'', features behind-the-scenes clips of dub's Main/AllStarCast recording their lines, talking about their characters and just goofing off, often alongside clips from the movie itself.

** ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'', which was made to celebrate the studio's [[MilestoneCelebration 100th anniversary]], has its end credits decorated with starry images of characters from most of Disney's previous animated features, from [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] to [[WesternAnimation/StrangeWorld Splat]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'', when Tony and Bridget emerge from the wreckage after the cat attack at the market, a bottle of "Pomeroy Hair Tonic", named after co-producer John Pomeroy, can be seen in the background.

** ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' has clips of Kenai, Koda, and even Rutt and Tuke, which is followed by Music/PhilCollins singing [[AwesomeMusic/{{Disney}} "Look Through My Eyes"]] and [[AwesomeMusic/{{Disney}} "No Way Out" (extended version)]], and then the hilarious Koda proclaiming that no fish were harmed in the making, which is quickly followed by a bear running across the screen, chasing a fish yelling "HE'S GONNA EAT ME!". After Koda covers the screen, the sound of a bear swallowing can be heard. Cue end logos.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' has a children's book-looking epilogue with pictures that showed [[spoiler: Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino living happily with Penny on a farm]].

* ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheGuardiansTheOwlsOfGaHoole'' has the film's events as a pretty shadow puppet show for closing credits.

** ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'''s opening credits, various swamp muck "coincidentally" seemed to fall in the exact pattern to match the actors' names.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieCandaceAgainstTheUniverse'' features such credits in the form of silhouettes recaping the film, complete with [[https://youtu.be/2sst0min-50 a song]] that hangs one massive lampshade on it.

** ''WesternAnimation/BonVoyageCharlieBrown'' Continues with this trend of crediting the artists with their respective image, but this time, with the backgrounds playing around with the colors red, white and blue.

** ''WesternAnimation/BonVoyageCharlieBrownAndDon'tComeBack!!'' Continues with this trend of crediting the artists with their respective image, but this time, with the backgrounds playing around with the colors red, white and blue.

** The end credits for ''WesternAnimation/SnoopyComeHome'' are entirely typed up by Snoopy at his typewriter. In addition, instead of listing actors with their roles, the heads of the characters appear with Snoopy typing up the actors' names next to the character he or she plays, with Snoopy and Woodstock's actors' names appearing physically next to them as Snoopy types.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1'' has two minions trying to reach towards the screen and play with the effects of 3D while another minion referees. Sadly, the effect was ruined in the DVD and standard Blu-Ray release, seeing as how neither of them have 3D.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' has a very stylistic montage recapping the film during its credits, evoking the work of master movie title designer Saul Bass (it's actually a spiffed-up version of the film's early storyboards; originally it was all going to be animated in this style). The various action vignettes surrounding the closing credits are related to the role of the person following each, for example, the Shading Supervisor has a shimmery shadow on the ground.

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'''s opening credits, various swamp muck "coincidentally" seemed to fall in the exact pattern to match the actors' names.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}: Escape 2 Africa'' [[http://watchthetitles.com/articles/00106-Madagascar_Escape_2_Africa has]] 3D paper cut-outs of the characters.

* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'':
** The credits of the first movie roll on yellowish parchment and are accompanied by concept art that also served to inspire the illustrations in the Dragon Manual.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'':

* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'': The end credits of the film are printed on the same magic map fought over throughout the film.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'':

* The credits for ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' start with a montage of the characters all tossing around a panda-shaped training dummy to a remix of "Kung Fu Fighting". The rest of it is a series of stills, [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue showing what everyone is up to after the events of the movie]]. ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' takes a similar approach, with the first part being a shadow puppet rendition of how Po ended up in the Valley of Peace, and the second part being stills about him growing up.

* The end credits of the third ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' movie, ''Moon Castle: The Space Adventure'', scroll from right to left and take place in space, where the candy spaceship piloted by the goats dodges various obstacles. The ship and obstacles are also both depicted as 8-bit sprites.

** During the credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', following a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, the cast goes to the movies (drive-in, of course) and we see clips of vehicle versions of previous Pixar movies. For bonus points, Mack (voiced by John Ratzenberger) raves about [[ActorAllusion certain characters]] before realizing they're all voiced [[HypocriticalHumor by the same guy]].

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' has two minions trying to reach towards the screen and play with the effects of 3D while another minion referees. Sadly, the effect was ruined in the DVD and standard Blu-Ray release, seeing as how neither of them have 3D.

* ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' had a DancePartyEnding followed by a "collage" of characters from the first three films (minus Artie); the rest of the credits were on Rumple's fancy parchment paper, with inverted versions of the first film's credit illustrations.
