History GondorCallsForAid / WesternAnimation

* In the DTV movie ''[[ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier Justice League: The New Frontier]]'', the Centre has finally shown up off Cape Canaveral. The military and the CIA, however, are more interested in keeping Franchise/{{Batman}}, Franchise/TheFlash, ComicBook/GreenArrow, the Comicbook/{{Blackhawk}}s and ComicBook/AdamStrange away from it, both sides drawing weapons on each other. It takes an angry Franchise/{{Superman}} to get the two groups to join forces -- especially after he gets blown out of the sky and is presumed dead.

* The fifth season finale of the 2003 ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' cartoon involved the turtles calling on everyone they'd ever worked with, and a few they'd fought against, to help stop the threat.

* The second season finale of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' has every single live superhero showing up to help save the Earth.

* The GrandFinale of the Creator/AdultSwim revival of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' has many of Jack's allies and the people he helped out unite to aid him in defeating Aku. Among them are the Scotsman and his daughters, Rothchild the dog archaeologist, the Spartans, and the Monkey-Man who taught Jack how to "jump good".

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', during the Day of Black Sun, various allies of the Gaang from the Earth Nation show up to help out. [[spoiler: It's also one of the few cases where this gambit fails almost completely. However,]] in the series finale, other characters such as [[spoiler: Iroh, Jeong Jeong, Bumi, and Pakku]], to name a few, show up to help fight the Fire Nation.
* The sequel series, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', has General Iroh of the Fire Nation (Zuko's grandson, not his uncle) responding to Republic City's call for help in the battle against the equalists. Iroh brings the whole United Forces armada, in two waves (the second led by Bumi, Aang and Katara's son).
* The series ender of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' and the episode "Reign Storm".

* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' plays on this trope a little too many times.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The series finale "The Ending of the End" sees three of the series' villains (Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Lord Tirek) steal the power of an ancient evil being and become the most powerful beings in Equestria. After sowing division amongst Equstria's citizens, draining [[PhysicalGod Discord, Celestia, and Luna]] of their power, and defeating all of Equestira's other defenders, the TerribleTrio manage to bring even Twilight and her friends to their knees. They are about destroy them, when a mysterious magic shield saves the Mane Six. Everyone is justifiably confused until an army crests a nearby hill, and we can see every character the Mane Six have ever befriended has come to their aid. The shield is being powered by an army of unicorn citizens. Pegasi, hippogriffs, and griffons swoop in and kick up cloud of dust. Changelings turn themselves into body doubles to confuse the villains, and yaks begin stomping in unison to thrown them off balance. As it turns out, the Student Six and other pupils from Twilight's School of Friendship had returned to their homelands and rallied armies of volunteers to aid in the fight. Twilight is finally able to finish the fight by drawing on the [[PowerOfFriendship Magic of Friendship]] present in everyone around her, empowered by the Pillars of Equestria, the Mane Six, and the Student Six, to fire the largest and most powerful rainbow laser the series has ever seen and forcibly strip the villains of their power.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'''s "The Return" had the entire League trying to help out citizen ComicBook/LexLuthor (he got a pardon in a previous episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'') who was being targeted by AMAZO, an unstoppable robot. They didn't like it but they had to try and stop AMAZO especially after it looks like he disintegrated Oa. [[spoiler:He didn't he just warped it out of his way. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, he warps it back.]]

* In the season finale of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', Wilykit and Wilykat, realizing that the others are going to need help during the battle against Mumm-Ra's forces, go off to recruit nearly every friendly person or group the Thundercats had met during their journey thus far. They come back to provide TheCavalry at the crucial moment.
** This is comically {{Double Subver|sion}}ted when they first come in: the big fanfare is for them to bring in ''one guy'' to help, but then we find out there were more in their BagOfHolding, he just didn't want to go in it.

* Happens on ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' when the people from Jersey Shore stage a take-over of state-wide magnitude. After their pleas to the government fall on deaf ears, the inhabitants turn to [[spoiler:OsamaBinLaden]] of all people. And they get his support.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' does this twice. In one episode Annihilus attacks Prison 42 with his army of bug creatures and traps the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stationed there with no way to escape or call for help from the outside. So they end up releasing most of the super villains being held there to help fight off the invaders. Most except Baron Zemo, who Captain America knows he can't trust. Also in the series finale when Galactus and his heralds come to devour the Earth, the Avengers call on almost every super hero that has appeared on the show so far.

* In the last story arc of the first season of Filmation's ''WesternAnimation/FlashGordon'', Flash, Barin, Thun, and Vultan put out a call to the various allies they've made for a final united battle against Ming. It's pretty awesome.

** {{Subverted|Trope}} in the second act of the episode "[[Recap/MrBogusS3E4KungFuCampout Kung Fu Campout]]". In order to stop the aliens from running amok, Bogus calls on the help of [[RascallyRaccoon a raccoon]], [[NuttySquirrel a squirrel]], and [[MoleMiner and a star-nosed mole]] (via use of a drum), but these animals refuse to help. However, it is played straight afterwards when Bogus has no other choice now but to [[EnemyMine call on the help of his sworn enemies, Ratty and Mole.]]
