Awesome Moment Of Crowning / Western Animation

• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • The Grand Finale has Azula's coronation as the new Fire Lord interrupted by Zuko and Katara's arrival. Later, Zuko gets one, where he assures the world that the war is finally over and that he will help the four nations recover. Aang gives him a hug first.
  • Ozai had his own, way back when. It was much more full of pomp than Zuko's, the crowd was very, very big and very red, the royals attending wore white (the traditional color of mourning in China, as Azulon had just died), and because we see it through Zuko's flashback and he was kinda freaked out at the time, it looks pretty scary.
    • Ozai even manages to top himself when he crowns himself as the "Phoenix King" and declares that he will burn down and rebuild the world in his image. Wearing highly ornate armour and with his own personal banner, everyone (except Azula) bows to their leader as triumphant music plays in the background.
• The Grand Finale of Elena of Avalor has Elena crowned the queen of Avalor after three whole seasons of training as crown princess.
• The Emperor's New School: In the Series Finale, a machine is lowering the crown on Yzma's head when Kuzco shows up, pushes Yzma out of the way and finally reclaims his rightful position as emperor.
• Parodied in Futurama episode "That's Lobstertainment!" contains a movie-within-a-show. The film, The Magnificent Three, is a story about a son (the Vice-President of Earth) not wanting to follow in his father's (the President of Earth) footsteps. At the end, the president dies.
  Aide(played by Zoidberg): Congratulations, Mr. President!
  VP(played by Calculon): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
  • Also used in "My Three Suns", when Fry gets crowned emperor of the Trisolians because he drank their previous ruler, and has to recite his new lineage or DIE. He makes it, and then gets embroiled in a battle to rescue the old emperor.
• At the end of season 2 of Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5, Vert gets crowned the leader of the Blue Sentient's Council Of Five as reward for leading the Battle Force 5 to victory over Krytus, allowing for the peace between the two Sentient races.
• Subverted in The Legend of Korra with Prince Wu's coronation. At the beginning of the episode, he lays out a 'dynamite' six hour show involving rolling boulders filled with female earthbenders, who would sing the song of his royal lineage while banging the boulders like drums, followed by dancing badgermoles. Turns out that all the regalia was stolen, and the actual coronation lasts about eight seconds.
• The Lion Guard: Two Awesome Moments Of Crowning happen in the third and final season. The first is with the Asiatic lioness Rani, who becomes queen after her grandmother Queen Janna dies. On the day she becomes queen, the animals of the Tree of Life sing "Long Live The Queen" in her honor. The seconds is for Kion, who ends up marrying Rani and essentially becomes king of the Tree of Life. Like with Rani, the Tree of Life's animals sing to him "Long Live The King". Both times involve Makini anointing them with blue paint.
• The third season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Magical Mystery Cure. Twilight becomes an alicorn and is crowned a Princess.
  • In a flashback of the show's Grand Finale episode, The Last Problem, Twilight Sparkle is crowned by Princesses Celestia and Luna as the new ruler of Equestria.
• In the premiere of Sofia the First, Sofia is crowned a princess after her mother marries the king of Enchancia.
• King Gerard in The Smurfs (1981) episode "The Clockwork Smurf" gets one after he returns to the kingdom in his princely outfit to expose his aunt Imperia's plan of taking over his kingdom.
• In The Transformers: The Movie, Starscream tries to get himself crowned leader of the Decepticons and finally succeeds, only to have the reborn Galvatron fly in and shoot him.
  Galvatron: "Coronation, Starscream? This is bad comedy."
• In The Venture Bros., it's revealed that the true heir to the title of Sovereign of the Guild of Calamitous Intent is Dean Venture, as he is the great-grandson of Lloyd Venture and Fantômas (and by extension his grandson Phantom Limb) is simply a usurper. David Bowie dubs Dean the Sovereign, and then he gives his title right back to Bowie to ruin Limb's chances of becoming the heir.
• Subverted in W.I.T.C.H., when Elyon's Awesome Moment of Crowning is actually a trap to allow Phobos to steal her power. After Phobos is defeated, however, Elyon gets a real moment later. While it isn't an actualy ceremony, it's pretty damn awesome.
