History TheMovie / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' was given its own movie called ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', which was released in 1986. It took place between the second and third seasons of the animated series and skipped the plot forward by 20 years, to the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture far future date]] of 2005.
** It also skipped violence in cartoons forward by about 20 years, since the TV show traditionally never had anybody die, whilst most of the movie was restrained mecha manga.
** It was also meant to [[KillEmAll kill off the old characters]] and [[MerchandiseDriven replace them with new toys...er, characters.]]

* Although it seemed to be stuck in DevelopmentHell for a while, Creator/CartoonNetwork ''finally'' confirmed ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' was getting a movie to wrap up the story.. albeit, years after the show itself ended.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': ''Smurfquest'', which was originally released as a two-hour television movie. It was later split up into four half hour episodes.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'', an OriginsEpisode for the series ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''. Its working titles were ''First Flight'' and ''Maiden Voyage.'' Notable for being the ''only'' movie based on a Creator/CartoonNetwork original. It bombed at the box office due to poor marketing on the part of Warner Bros., which led to a ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' movie to [[DevelopmentHell cease production]]. As of this time, the closest thing to a second theatrical Cartoon Network movie is the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' movie, based on a show that airs on the late-night Creator/AdultSwim block, which performed slightly better, since it actually got some marketing.

*** The movie also {{Lampshade}}s this trope, when Homer criticizes the audience for paying money to watch something they could get for free on TV.

** Also {{Lampshade}}d when Homer criticizes the audience for paying money to watch something they could get for free on TV.

** The show's producers were thinking of a movie at least as early as Season 4, with the "Camp Krusty" episode being pitched for possible expansion to feature length by Creator/JamesLBrooks (an idea that was rejected after the writers told him they'd already had trouble padding out the episode as it was). In the fullness of time, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'' came to be, reversed some of the worst horrors of {{Flanderization}}, and inflicted Spider-Pig upon the world. And of course, sparked much debate on whether it sucked or ruled.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' had ''three'': ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'', ''WesternAnimation/RugratsInParis'', and ''WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild'', a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys''. The latter series also has three movies - a MadeForTVMovie explaining the origins of Donnie, the theatrical ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'', and the aforementioned ''Rugrats Go Wild!''. One thing that's interesting to note is that unlike most examples of these, the first two ''Thornberrys'' movies are considered to be within that show's canon, with the later seasons of ''Thornberrys'' having multiple call backs to the movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' is in canon with the rest of the series. The back of the DVD case claims that "unlike most other movies that got their start on the silver screen, [this one] doesn't suck." (Music/StephenSondheim is known to have sent the shows creators a letter congratulating them on the film's musical score and calling it the best musical he'd seen in over a decade.)
** To be specific, the reference is in the form of a two part episode, resolving the question of what happens to the relationship between Saddam Hussein and Satan. [[spoiler: Satan has started to date another guy, but by the end, he decides to stay single.]] There is also mention of the US-Canada war and Terrance and Philip's near execution in "Terrance & Phillip: Behind the Blow."
** Three-part Emmy winning story arc ''South Park: Imaginationland'' has been edited into a full length film. (Indeed, it was originally intended to be a second film before being split into episodes instead.)
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'', in which the title characters adore a punk rock band called "[[JustForFun/TropeNamesForABand Chum Bucket]]", Tino mourns that he must spend time with his geeky cousin and cannot go on opening day with the rest of the gang to see "Chum Bucket: TheMovie". Lampshaded even further when he's talking to them on the phone and hears them in an arcade playing "Chum Bucket: The Movie: [[AdaptationDecay The Game]]."

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'' was conceived as a movie, titled ''Justice League: Worlds Collide'', that would form a bridge between ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''. The project ended up being put on hold and was finally released long after ''Unlimited'' had ended, with an entirely different art style and no continuity ties. There are however little traces of the continuity links from the earlier drafts, such as the League only having six members (Hawkgirl quit the team in the series finale of ''Justice League'') and the members of the League debating whether or not they should [[HeroesUnlimited expand their roster]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' was given its own movie called ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'', which was released in 1986. It took place between the second and third seasons of the animated series and skipped the plot forward by 20 years, to the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture far future date]] of 2005.

** It was also meant to [[KillEmAll kill off the old characters]] and [[MerchandiseDriven replace them with new toys...er, characters.]]
* Spoofed in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' with "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie". In the fullness of time, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'' came to be, reversed some of the worst horrors of {{Flanderization}} and inflicted Spider-Pig upon the world. And of course, sparked much debate on whether it sucked or ruled.
** Also {{Lampshade}}d when Homer criticizes the audience for paying money to watch something they could get for free on TV.
** Another in-universe example: "Angry Dad: The Movie".
* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants
** ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'' was meant to serve as a GrandFinale to the series. However, [[ExecutiveMeddling those meddling guys at]] Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} decided to continue with the series anyway.
*** WordOfGod says that no matter what happens in the show or how long it goes on, that the movie is the series finale.
** A second movie titled ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'' was released on February 6, 2015.
** Another movie ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun'' was originally set for release on May 22, 2020 before the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic happened; it's been [[ScheduleSlip pushed]] to 2021. This time, unlike the previous movies, it's ShiftedToCGI.
* According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' was supposed to have a TV movie to end its second season, and possibly serve as a GrandFinale. This, along with several un-broadcast episodes, was [[ScrewedByTheNetwork cancelled by Nickelodeon]]. However, years later a different movie, ''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZimEnterTheFlorpus Enter the Florpus]]'' was created, airing on Creator/{{Netflix}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' has two movies. First it's ''A Sitch in Time'' where they discovered that TheDragon Shego became a EvilOverlord in a BadFuture. The second movie, ''[[WesternAnimation/KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama So the Drama]]'', is about the HarmlessVillain Dr. Drakken becoming a NotSoHarmlessVillain, and being created as a GrandFinale (until it was UnCanceled) it ended [[SealedWithAKiss with a kiss]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'' is a TV movie of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Its spin-off series ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' got a ''theatrical'' movie, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies''.

* ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'' has four TV movies, including ''Race Across New Zealand'', ''Reggie's Big Beach Break'', ''Island of the Menehune'' (which answers the question of what happened to Reggie and Otto's MissingMom), and ''The Big Day'' (a sequel to ''Island of the Menehune'' which serves as the GrandFinale).
* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer: TheMovie''. It has nothing to do with the much more classic 60s specials, yet the sequel is more or less a sequel to those specials.

* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' also got the full-length theatrical treatment, with ''Teacher's Pet'' meant to be the GrandFinale to that series.
* After ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' got a ChannelHop to Creator/{{ABC}}, their owner Creator/{{Disney}} brought it to theaters as ''WesternAnimation/Dougs1stMovie'', [[StillbornFranchise which was also Doug's Last Movie]].
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' had two movies planned while the show was still running. One was a three-part television movie entitled "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood", and the other was a theatrical one, ''[[WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie The Jungle Movie]]'', which would have resolved the cliffhanger left by the two-part episode, "The Journal". Paramount and Nickelodeon wanted an ''Arnold'' movie in theaters soon, so they had the production team rework "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" for a theatrical release as ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheMovie'', while ''The Jungle Movie'' got put on the back-burner for a number of years before Nick greenlit production on it as a two-part (44 minutes each) TV movie as part of their mission to revive their 90s programming.

* According to WordOfGod, Butch Hartman wouldn't have any trouble giving this treatment to ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' (the four 1 hour specials don't really count). However, due to the ExecutiveMeddling that ended the series while it was still in its prime, it is unknown at the moment if they will green light the project.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/GIJoeTheMovie G.I. Joe: The Movie]]'' was supposed to get a theatrical release, but due to the box-office failures of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' and ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' movies, it ended up being a straight-to-video release instead. The Movie was suppose to kill off Duke in order to set the tone apart from the first two seasons of TV series (where the NobodyCanDie rule was played straight). But due to the fan backlash of Optimus Prime's death in ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' (which was actually inspired by the decision to kill off Duke), Duke's death was quickly revised thanks to some last-minute dubbing (he ended up "falling into a coma" and recovering off-screen).
* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': ''[[WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresHowISpentMyVacation How I Spent My Vacation]]''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' had two: ''Is it Fall Yet?,'' which bridged the fourth and fifth seasons, and ''Is It College Yet?,'' which was the GrandFinale of [[GraduateFromTheStory Daria's class graduating high school]] and getting ready for college.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension Across the 2nd Dimension]]'' is a MadeForTVMovie which was slightly DarkerAndEdgier and featured, among other things, [[spoiler:the boys finding out that Perry is a secret agent and Phineas finally being kissed by his love-struck friend Isabella (but all memories of these events are erased).]]
** There was another movie in the works for 2013 that is to be released in theaters and is [[RogerRabbitEffect a mix of live-action and animation]], but it never got produced.
** The show also had a one-hour TV special called ''Summer Belongs to You,'' and the subsequent hour-long specials ''Save Summer'' and the GrandFinale ''Last Day Of Summer.'' IT also had two hour-long crossovers, one with the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and one with ''Franchise/StarWars''.
** In 2019, a midquel film set before the GrandFinale, titled ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieCandaceAgainstTheUniverse'' was announced, due for release as a Creator/DisneyPlus exclusive in August 2020.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' also had a movie entitled ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'' which acted as the GrandFinale to the show.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mucha Lucha}} The Return of El Malefico'', featuring none other than Creator/TimCurry as the titular villain and [[Creator/PennAndTeller Penn Jillette]] in a bunch of incidental roles.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' has had at least four over it's run. The live action ''Film/Ben10RaceAgainstTime'', the regularly animated ''Secret of the Omnitrix'', another live action one based on ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]''; ''Film/Ben10AlienSwarm'', and the AllCGICartoon movie, ''WesternAnimation/Ben10DestroyAllAliens''.
* Apart from [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the obvious]], ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' had two bookends; ''WesternAnimation/StitchTheMovie'' (so named because marketing couldn't agree on what to call the series until it was too late), and ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had four DirectToVideo Movies post its [[UnCancelled initial cancellation]] after Season 4: ''Bender's Big Score'', ''The Beast with a Billion Backs'', ''Bender's Game'', and ''Into the Wild Green Yonder''. In the fullness of time, they were picked up by the network, each movie was split into four episodes of approximately appropriate length, and they aired as the 16-episode run of Season 5.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica Beavis and Butt-Head Do America]]'', [=The Movie=] of ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead Beavis and Butt-Head]]''. Beavis and Butthead get their TV stolen, try to find a new one, and end up going on a quest that takes them all across the USA.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' and its sequels ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames Friendship Games]]'', and ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree Legend of Everfree]]'', initially marketed as DirectToVideo/cable features but the first two were granted limited theatrical runs beforehand. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 An actual wide-release theatrical film]] was released in October of 2017. Season 8 of the series carries on after the movie, and makes [[CallBack references back to it]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' is arguably the series of the movie, the pilot having limited theatrical release as a full length animated movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Colon Movie Film for Theaters'', which is essentially the same as the show, except longer. Notable for its opening number performed by Music/{{Mastodon}} about theater etiquette and [[DisproportionateRetribution the horrible things that will happen to you if you fail to follow it]] and the ViralMarketing campaign that caused the Boston Bomb Scare and [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom resulted in Cartoon Network undergoing managerial changes that led to some serious]] NetworkDecay.
* ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' is an unusual example, as even though it is not canon with the television series ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'', it still draws more inspiration from the show than it does the [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} film series it is based on]], even though it takes place after the [[WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted third film]].
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroachesTheMovie'': Unlike the series it's based on, ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'', the movie takes place over four different time periods (13,327 BC, 1,350 AD, 1,899-1,900 AD and 27 BBY), showcasing different incarnations of the titular characters and their Herculean battles.
* {{Creator/GoldenFilms}} created an unofficial sequel to ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit'' which shows Peter and his sisters a bit older then they were in the books.
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has the MadeForTVMovie "Ego Trip", where Dexter travels to a BadFuture where Mandark rules, which was also originally made to be the finale.
* ''The Secret of the Sword'' doubled as TheMovie for ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' and a PilotMovie for ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''.
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'':
** In August of 2017, the show premiered its own TVMovie entitled "Ready Jet Go!: Back to Bortron 7", as part of the PBS Kids "Summer Adventure" initiative in order to bridge the summer learning gap. The special focuses on the Propulsions needing to go back to their home planet in order to do a presentation of everything that they've learned. Sean and Sydney's parents are out of town, so Sean and Sydney get to stay with the Propulsions, and of course, go to Bortron 7 with them.
** In June of 2019, the show premiered another TV Movie entitled "[[Recap/ReadyJetGoOneSmallStep One Small Step]]". Jet builds a super saucer and takes the kids to the Moon for a slumber party celebrating the Apollo 11 mission. However, the saucer has a rough landing, and Jet and Sunspot go missing. Sydney and Jet 2 stay behind to work on the saucer, and Sean and Mindy look for Jet and Sunspot, while Sean teaches Mindy all about the Apollo 11 mission.
* A feature film based on ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' was originally scheduled for a summer 2020 movie release, but it was delayed for April 2021, due to the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic coronavirus pandemic]]. It was later delayed indefinitely.

* Preschool kids show ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' is gearing up to [[WesternAnimation/PAWPatrolTheMovie have one set for an August 2021 release]]. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, recording sessions (and presumably animation) was done via telecommuting.
* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'': The final three episodes of the series were also released as a direct-to-video movie, ''Dalmatian Vacation'' (but [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes only in foreign countries]]), bringing the total number of ''101 Dalmatian''-themed Disney movies up to five.
* Although it seemed to be stuck in DevelopmentHell for a while, Creator/CartoonNetwork ''finally'' confirmed ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' was getting a movie to wrap up the story.. albeit, years after the show itself ended.
* ''WesternAnimation/HildaAndTheMountainKing'' follows the events of [[WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}} its parent series']] second season, wrapping up the [[SafetyWorst overzealous Safety Patrol arc]] and concluding the finale's cliffhanger.
