History TheStinger / AnimatedFilms

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansIIPatchsLondonAdventure'', Patch is now the sidekick of Thunderbolt and the puppies are extras and chase the villain into the sunset.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'':
** Has one in the middle of the credits that was a SequelHook, with Maggie's second word: "Sequel?"
** A more traditional one happens near the end of the credits, where we see the Squeaky Voice Teen cleaning up the theater. He then gives the following exchange:
--->'''Squeaky Voice Teen:''' Assistant manager isn't all it's cracked up to be... four years of film school for this?
* At the end of the credits of ''WesternAnimation/TheTripletsOfBelleville'', the guy from whom the protagonist rented a boat is seen, [[OffscreenInertia still waiting for it to be returned]].
* After the credits roll in ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', we see that Dragon and Donkey had half-dragon, half-donkey hybrid babies.
* ''Film/JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' has a rather bizarre sequence in which [[TheFaceless some kid]] plays a mechanical carnival game wherein he controls a rhino which attempts to butt spinning copies of the titular hero's horrific aunts; a successful hit causes the target's head to [[YourHeadASplode pop off]].
* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'': During the ending credits, we see the Tank Gang free from their plastic bags. At the end of the credits, there is a scene with the angler fish. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivcSKLnl-lY Watch it here]].
** [[WesternAnimation/FindingDory The sequel]] features Gerald trying and failing to get back on the rock--but the ''real'' stinger comes in the form of [[BrickJoke the Tank Gang from the first film]] arriving at the Marine Life Institute, their bags dirty from the journey. They quickly get swiped up by the same volunteer who captured Dory and presumably put in Quarantine. "No respect for marine life," indeed.
* ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'' ends with the rats Nick and Fletcher getting into a chicken/egg debate. Toward the end of the credits, they are heard still debating, until Rocky tells them to knock it off, causing them to grouse about him and how they did all the work as the credits end.
* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', we actually get to see one more footage of stop-motion animation before the film finally ends.
* About halfway through the credits of ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'', the Stephen Colbert-esque President can be seen determining which one of the two {{big red button}}s dispenses the coffee. He accidentally [[BrickJoke presses the wrong one instead.]]
* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', we actually get to see the minivan couple that's lost in the desert [[BrickJoke get lost even further.]]
** At the end of ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'', Mater is seen singing a funny song and is cleaning in his lot. When his phone rings, he gets startled and inadvertently knocks over his reception antenna along with several tires on his shack's roof.
* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'', there is a brief video of Koda telling the viewers that [[NoAnimalsWereHarmed ''absolutely'' no fish were harmed in the movie.]] [[TemptingFate Cue random fish swimming away screaming while being chased by a bear.]] and signals for shooting to stop. He covers the camera with his paws and the screen goes black while the bear burps.
--> IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!

* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', we see a cartoon rat sitting on top of the final credit listing. When it disappears, the rat falls to the ground and limps away.

* The last part of the closing credits for ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' are played over an extra scene where Sulley and Mike are shown presenting a musical based on the film's plot (written by themselves) to the public.
* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' has a [[BrickJoke brick joke]] after the credits. Remember the scene with the slug who was trying (emphasis on "trying") to make it to his first class on the first day of school? Well, after the credits, we find out that the slug ''finally'' made it to class... but it turns out it took him the ''entire'' school year for him to get there.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** After the ending credits of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie The [=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=] Movie]]'', to give closure to the FramingDevice at the beginning of the film, we see the pirates still sitting in the theater, and the female usher tells the pirates they have to leave, and they do so.
** After the ending credits of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater The [=SpongeBob=] Movie: Sponge Out of Water]]'', we see Gary still chasing Plankton.
* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' follows the ending credits with the title character replacing the burnt out bulb of Luxo Jr. after taking the place of the I in the Creator/{{Pixar}} [[VanityPlate logo]], and then he replaces the R after knocking it down. Uniquely, this was not shown in theatres (aside from a few trailers) but added to the home video releases. An additional one occurs immediately afterwards, where the "[=BnL=]" logo appears complete with the "[=BnL=]" jingle.
* Franchise/{{Disney|AnimatedCanon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has one with Hades (who was left trapped in the river Styx at the end of the story) complaining that everybody got a happy ending but him... and then [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the fact that the audience is probably gone by now by wondering out loud if anybody's listening.
* As the credits roll in the second ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}'' movie, ''Legends of Metru Nui'', the masks of the main characters slowly appear and fade to black. The final mask belongs to the BigBad Makuta Teridax. After the text has passed, the mask stays there for a moment, a pair of [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] light up inside the eye sockets, and only then does the mask fade, leaving us with an image of two sinister eyes glowing in the darkness, accompanied by chilly musical tunes. This doesn't count as a spoiler, though, since everyone knew Makuta would return (the movie's a prequel, duh). As for the third movie, there is a quick shot of an attacking Visorak spider that breaks the silence with a sudden buzzsaw-y screech.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'':
** In some additions, the Genie is heard saying "You have been a fabulous audience! Tell ya what, you've been the best audience in the whole world! Take care of yourselves! G'night, Alice! G'night, Agrabah! ''¡Adios, amigos!''" over the Disney logo. Before the credits begin, Genie interrupts the film strip at the ''The End'' with him as the laughing Moon to point at the audience and say "Made you look."
** In the direct-to-video sequel ''[[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar The Return of Jafar]]'', HarmlessVillain [[MeaningfulName Abis Mal]] made two wishes before agreeing to help Genie Jafar get revenge on Aladdin and his friends. But, before the climax of the final battle, Abis found himself hung up on a tree, and seemed to be forgotten by the story. After the credits, Genie Jafar has been defeated and destroyed, but [[BrickJoke poor, pitiful Abis Mal is shown still dangling helplessly from that tree]].
-->'''Abis Mal:''' Does this mean [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I don't get my third wish?]]
** After the credits of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'', the Genie appears on the black screen and says "[[Film/{{Aliens}} Game over, man! Game over!]]"

* After the credits of ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'', there's a cool little time-lapse sequence showing the construction of the Norman puppet/model from metal armature up. It ends with the completed Norman getting up, yawning, and walking offscreen.
* Remember the scene in ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' when Merida arranges to buy all of the Witch's woodcarvings if she'll make her a spell as well and the Witch tells her they'll be delivered in a fortnight? After the end credits and before the Disney and Pixar logos, the same guard who was asleep on the job earlier (the one who had half his moustache cut off by Merida's brothers) wakes up again to see the Witch's familiar has indeed delivered them all ("Sign here, please!").
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', a brief clip of Hugo bidding the audience goodbye and laughing plays before cutting to the Disney logo.
* ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'':
** Right at the very end of the credits, the Walt Disney castle glitches up in a parody of the ''VideoGame/PacMan'' KillScreen.
** ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' has a ClickbaitGag in the form of a trailer for ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', which turns out to be a JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} on Ralph's part, though observant viewers who watched the credits beforehand knew this was coming.
* ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
** After the end credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', we see Marshmallow, Elsa's {{Snowlems}} bodyguard survived his DisneyVillainDeath. He finds Elsa's lost tiara, puts it on, and settles in as ruler of the empty castle, seemingly content.
** In ''WesternAnimation/FrozenII'', Olaf comically sums up the movie's climax to Marshmallow and the Snowgies after the credits.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'':
** Towards the end of the credits of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls1 the first movie]], a humanized Derpy can be seen dancing with a muffin.
** Meghan [=McCarthy=] suggested sticking around after the end credits of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'', and with good reason: after said credits sequence, we see [[spoiler:a girl very similar to Twilight Sparkle (with a different hairstyle and a pair of glasses) claiming that there is something strange about Canterlot High.]] (This scene is sadly missing in the Creator/DiscoveryFamily broadcast, partially due to CreditsPushback.) The fact that the dog behind her (who looks exactly like Spike) does not talk lets us to think that this is the Twilight Sparkle of the Equestria Girls universe, who has just now found out about the events of the two movies.
** Discovery Family's broadcast of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'' places its stinger before the end credits (and since this was the first time the movie was being seen in America, they had a good reason to keep it). In this stinger, Princess Twilight's only appearance in the movie is her going through the portal and stating that she was unable to get in touch due to being stuck in a time loop (this is a pretty big spoiler, since it refers to the end of season 5) and stating that it was the strangest experience of her life, but not before looking at human Twilight and correcting herself stating that it was the second strangest experience of her life.
** In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree'', the post-credits sequence has the girls finally finish rebuilding the dock. Pinkie Pie celebrates by throwing confetti and a few marshmallows at it, completely forgetting that anything with sugar she throws explodes. The dock gets blown up. The girls stare in complete disbelief, and Rarity faints.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheLostDragon'', despite being turned into a statue, Drizelda is shown to still be alive. As a bird tries to perch on her, she breathes a puff a smoke from her nose, replying "Don't even think about it!", scaring away the bird.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', Linus' model tri-plane finally sputters to a stop over the pond and falls straight in.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBoxtrolls'', Mr. Trout and Mr. Pickles have an existential discussion, wondering if there really is free will and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall if they're just the puppets of some higher bodies]]. As they're having this discussion, the camera slowly zooms out to show the tiny set and the scene turns into a time-lapse of the animation of Trout and Pickles, still discussing the universe.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'', the team helps get back Private's cuteness by using [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} Mort]] in Dave's ray. Mort has no visible side effects... but he is able to eat King Julien in one bite now.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', Fred finds out that his father is a retired superhero, and his father ([[InkSuitActor modeled after and voiced by]] [[TheCameo Stan Lee]]) tells him, "Son, we have a lot to talk about..."
* In ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'', the message-passing mushrooms deliver a final one [[BreakingTheFourthWall directly to the audience]], mangled as usual by the guy who actually says it: [[TheEnd Tea Blend]].
* At the beginning of the credits for ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', the emotions are shown residing in the heads of several minor characters in the real world.
* ''Anime/TheSkyCrawlers'' initially appears to end with various characters walking away from the base runway after Kannami is killed by The Teacher, but a post-credits scene shows his replacement landing at the base and meeting Kusanagi. It's a far more satisfying ending.
* ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank'' has two stingers, one directly after the voice actor credits, and the other at the very end of the credits. The first one shows Dr. Nefarious being turned into a robot like his in-game appearance while the second one has [[FourthWallObserver The Plumber]] berating the viewers for sitting through the credits when the film is already over.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'': After the credits conclude and right before Splaat! of Klasky Csupo fame [[MoodWhiplash pops right out of nowhere]]—Grandpa Lou is sleeping in the Reptar Wagon in the front yard and the goat bucks the wagon out of the yard before then [[HereWeGoAgain chasing and following it down the street]].
* ''WesternAnimation/SherlockGnomes'': After the credits roll, the animated Gnomes form a 'Sherlock Holmes' logo which is then teased by the animated Moriarty, who is then smashed by the magnifying glass of the logo and says "I hate you, Sherlock Gnomes."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie'' provides an interesting example, which in a way combines this trope with OneGameForThePriceOfTwo. During the credits, a watermark is displayed in the background. If this is scanned in ''VideoGame/AngryBirdsAction'', a new area in the game opens, along with an additional scene from the movie being available for viewing.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'', Tamatoa, the giant coconut crab, is [[BrickJoke still stuck on his back]] from when Maui reclaimed his fishhook earlier in the movie. He then [[BreakingTheFourthWall complains to the audience]] that if he was [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 named Sebastian and had a Jamaican accent]], they would want to help him.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Minions'', Stuart, Kevin, and Bob are seen singing, playing musical instruments, and blowing bubbles, followed by a rundown of all the movie characters.
* ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'': After the credits, Glen kicks the crew out by throwing their equipment out the window, and telling them to "Go back to Hollywood", much to Edna's dismay.
* ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'' features a time-lapse sequence during the credits in which the Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton puppet, is assembled and prepped for a scene. It comes to life and attacks the nearest crew member.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby'', Tim's talking clock Wizzie appears at the end of the credits, telling us "Be gone and live your peasant lives. Be gone with you."
* In ''WesternAnimation/HappilyNEverAfter'', a mid-credits scene reveals Frieda was transported to the Arctic after getting knocked through a portal. She complains as she gets surrounded by elephant seals.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', at the very end of the credits after the "I 2 I" song finishes, Creator/BillFarmer's version of the [[StockScream Goofy Holler]] is heard.
* Approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', Minion finds the real, re-hydrated Bernard in the washing machine--and calls out Megamind for it. ''"Sir, you really need to empty your pockets more often!"''
* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei is searching for her 4*Town album CD. She calls out to her father Jin, asking him if he's seen it... just as the camera pans to him jamming out to it.
* The WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse featured quite a few:
** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueTheFlashpointParadox''[='=]s saw Parademons fly out of a Boom Tube, leading into ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar''.
** ''War'' saw one with Ocean Master blaming the surface world for the death of his father during the invasion, leading into ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueThroneOfAtlantis''.
** ''Throne of Atlantis'' saw Lex Luthor approach a captured Orm, though this became an AbortedArc since while Luthor returned, Orm didn't.
** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans''[='=]s stinger leads into ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract'' by showing Terra coming up to Titans Tower.
** ''The Judas Contract'' sees Jericho having survived the attempt by Mother Mayhem to kill him. As with Orm teaming up with Luthor, this is an AbortedArc thanks to ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'' being the GrandFinale.
** ''WesternAnimation/ReignOfTheSupermen'' sets up ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'' with the League talking about going after Darkseid.
** ''WesternAnimation/WonderWomanBloodlines'' sees Wonder Woman confront Veronica Cale over her role in Villainy Inc. and Cale swear revenge; likewise an AbortedArc thanks to ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'': The original Teen Titans make a cameo during the credits and also after they roll, the Challengers of the Unknown whom Raven had eliminated via portal earlier in the movie, can be seen floating in thin air saying that they had missed the movie.
* ''Animation/WhiteSnake2019'': The Fox Spirit gives something in a box to a dark force beneath the water.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'': Spider-Man 2099 speaks with Lyla about other dimensions. Later, he finds himself in the 1960s cartoon and gets into an argument with that universe's Spider-Man.
* The first ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' movie ends with a post-credits scene that zooms out from Planet Xing, going to a far-off planet where someone is below the ground, kept in a laboratory with an electric force field around them.
* ''WesternAnimation/DCLeagueOfSuperpets'' follows its credits with Superman playing with Krypto in the park, only for them to be accosted by the [[Film/BlackAdam DCEU-inspired Black Adam]] and his hound, who happens to be voiced by Creator/DwayneJohnson like Krypto is. The dogs proceed to discuss the concept of anti-heroes, with Krypto [[DistinctionWithoutADifference arguing that they're not that different from villains]], until Krypto tricks the hound into leaving by betting that he'd race him and his owner to Pluto. Krypto and Superman resume playing with each other in peace.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': At the end of the credits just before the "Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures" and "Created and produced at Pixar Animation Studios" information are displayed, a screen reading "To the people across time who supported and inspired us" pops up, along with a mosaic of photos of family members, friends, coworkers and pets of those who worked on the film — a digital ofrenda of sorts.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'': After the credits conclude—and right before Splaat! of Klasky Csupo fame [[MoodWhiplash pops right out of nowhere]]—Grandpa Lou is sleeping in the Reptar Wagon in the front yard and the goat bucks the wagon out of the yard before then [[HereWeGoAgain chasing and following it down the street]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'': After the credits, Glen kicks the crew out by throwing their equipment out the window, and telling them to “Go back to Hollywood”, much to Edna's dismay.

* Franchise/{{Disney|AnimatedCanon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' has one with Hades (who was left trapped in the river Styx at the end of the story) complaining that everybody got a happy ending but him... and then {{Lampshade Hanging lampshading}} the fact that the audience is probably gone by now by wondering out loud if anybody's listening.

** After the ending credits of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie]]'', to give closure to the FramingDevice at the beginning of the film, we see the pirates still sitting in the theater, and the female usher tells the pirate they have to leave the theater, and they do so.
** After the ending credits of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater]]'', we see Gary still chasing Plankton.

** This is notable as the last known minute of traditional animation in the WesternAnimation/DisneyAnimatedCanon.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', the stinger appears approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the film credits and lasts for about 20 seconds. Other than being included for RuleOfFunny, it serves as a visual transition from the CreativeClosingCredits appearance to the classic ClosingCredits appearance. Featuring a RunningGag, BrickJoke, and some witty dialogue, the stinger is a bonus scene taking place after the events of the movie. It ties up a minor narrative loose end as Minion finds the real, re-hydrated Bernard in the washing machine--and calls out Megamind for it. ''"Sir, you really need to empty your pockets more often!"''

* ''WesternAnimation/DCLeagueOfSuperpets'' follows its credits with Superman playing with Krypto in the park, only for them to be accosted by the [[Film/BlackAdam DCEU-inspired Black Adam]] and his hound, who happens to be voiced by Creator/DwayneJohnson like Krypto is.

** [[WesternAnimation/FindingDory The sequel]] features Gerald trying and failing to get back on the rock--but the ''real'' stinger comes in the form of [[spoiler:[[BrickJoke the Tank Gang from the first film]] arriving at the Marine Life Institute, their bags dirty from the journey. They quickly get swiped up by the same volunteer who captured Dory and presumably put in Quarantine.]] "No respect for marine life," indeed.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' has a [[BrickJoke brick joke]] after the credits.

* The 2011 ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh|2011}}'' movie ends with... well, remember all that stuff Winnie and the gang laid out in an attempt to attract the Backson? Well, they succeeded... [[spoiler: in confusing him. Luckily, he seems pretty obliging about falling down the hole they dug for him.]]

* Remember the scene in ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' when Merida arranges to buy all of the Witch's woodcarvings if she'll make her a spell as well and the Witch tells her they'll be delivered in a fortnight? [[spoiler: After the end credits and before the Disney and Pixar logos, the same guard who was asleep on the job earlier (the one who had half his moustache cut off by Merida's brothers) wakes up again to see the Witch's familiar has indeed delivered them all ("Sign here, please!").]]
