What Happened To The Mouse / Animated Films

---

• Aladdin:
  • What did happen to Jafar's horse after he leads Aladdin and Abu to the Cave of Wonders?
  • Al first rubs the lamp because he thinks he sees writing on it but can't make it out. He's understandably too distracted by the magical genie and elaborate song-and-dance number directly afterward to double-check, but was there really writing there, and if so, what does it say?
  • Razoul and the other main royal guards vanish from the movie after throwing Aladdin to the ocean. While it isn't too jarring since they all appear in the sequels and the TV series, it's a little jarring in the context of the first film's self-contained story.
• In Ali Baba & The Gold Raiders, Ali Baba's brother disappears from the story once the Gold Raiders come back and find him in their cave. It should be pointed out that in the original story the Forty Thieves killed him, so it seems the writers just couldn't be bothered to think of a way to write him back in aside from Ali Baba returning with a large sack he didn't have when he left, hinting at his collecting his brother's remains.
• Disney's Alice in Wonderland:
  • The Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit are last seen hitting the final nail in Alice's coffin and trumpeting respectively, and evidently do not participate in the grand chase after Alice at the end.
  • Earlier on in the film, Bill the Lizard is never seen again for the rest of the film after being blasted out of the White Rabbit's chimney and up into the sky while trying to extract the giant Alice from the Rabbit's house (ironically, in the novel, he appears in the trial as a member of the jury).
• A literal example: In An American Tail, the young baby of the Mousekewitz family, Yasha, drops out of the film about halfway through — particularly conspicuous in a story about accidental family separation. She does appear in the sequels, however.
• Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
  • It's never explained how exactly the Phantasm is able to teleport from place to place.
  • Also, Phantasm Andrea disappears into the smoke with her target the Joker; their fates are left unknown to Batman. Later Andrea is seen on a boat leaving Gotham for good, but no mention of the Joker's fate is made whatsoever. Joker is shown to be very much alive in the rest of the series, with no explanation of his escape given. However, Joker is well known for usage of Never Found the Body, which is why the trope Joker Immunity exists. This was eventually explained in a comic.
  • Some of the police, namely Harvey Bullock and the Gotham City DA Arthur Reeves, mistakenly believing that Batman was the one killing mob bosses. They send a SWAT team after him at one point. Despite this, Batman never clears his name or provides evidence that he's innocent, but the Batsignal is anyway later turned on at the end of the film. However, there were originally plans for an explanation to this plothole that got cut for pacing. When Batman faces the Phantasm for the first time after the destruction of Salvatore Valestra's penthouse, a journalist named Burton Earny was going to take a photo of them, thus exonerating Batman from being the murderer. Earny still appears in the film as the man who later talks with Andrea on the boat, having paid for the cruise with the money he received for his photo.
• Beauty and the Beast:
  • The bimbettes (those blonde women who crush on Gaston). They constantly accompany Gaston during the first half of the film, but for some reason are completely absent during the last half of the film where the villagers are raiding the Beast's castle. The musical adaptation has them included among the villagers who go to attack the castle. Presumably they are scared away along with everyone else, in the ensuing fight. We never see LeFou's, the bimbettes' or other villagers' reactions to Gaston's death either.
  • It's shown in two different scenes that Mrs. Potts has twelve children. Despite this, the only one with a talking role is Chip and the only one seen becoming human again is Chip.
  • The Magic Mirror disappears from Gaston's belt once the mob breaks down the doors and is never shown again.
• Turaga Dume in BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui was found comatose inside a pod by the Toa. They said they would return to rescue him later. He is never seen or heard of after that, even when all the Matoran trapped inside their pods have been freed. They planned to tell his tale in an exclusive story, but later claimed that his pod simply malfunctioned when we weren't looking, and he got free.
  • It would've been solved if they hadn't skipped the last three parts (and the trip from Metru Nui to Mata Nui with all the Matoran pods) of the story in between the Glatorian saga and the Visorak saga, right before the six matoran of Mata Nui (The Island) left for Voya Nui that Turaga Dume stayed in Metru Nui to prepare it for the eventual return of the Matoran.
  • In the 4th movie, The Legend Reborn, Tuma vanishes after being defeated by Mata Nui. While the movie does make it look like he died there, he was only just knocked out and was set to appear in the scrapped sequel. Strakk has a bit of this as well, as we last see him walking out of the arena after his defeat — originally, he was to be banished to the desert for breaking the rules of arena combat, but this issue isn't brought up in the movie, so it's unclear whether or not he walks away unpunished, which, given his negative portrayal in the film, seems weird, as it makes him a loose villain.
  • In the Mask of Light film, Pewku, the giant pet crab of the main character, Takua, disappears after her owner gets upgraded into the warrior Takanuva. Odd, considering that they were apparently close friends, and she doesn't even show up in any group shots in the final scenes. Outside of the movie, Pewku never had any relevance in the later stories, though Word of God mentioned she exchanged owners a couple of times.
• In The Black Cauldron, Princess Eilonwy has a glowing, levitating golden ball that follows her around, but disappears entirely without doing anything of note. It was clearly a nod to Eilonwy's bauble in the books, which plays a significant part in her Character Arc, but was seemingly added to the film for no particular purpose, and soon forgotten about.
• A Bug's Life: Played straight with most of Hopper's minions, as nobody knows where they went into hiding; averted with Molt, who joins P.T. Flea's circus as its new strongman, Tiny.
• Care Bears Nutcracker Suite: It's never explained what happened to the Vizier and the Mice after their defeat.
• A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure has not one, but two of these continuity errors. In the first movie, an air pump named “Julia” is one of Fender’s employees. In the sequel, she is nowhere to be seen. Not at all.
  • The sequel had a similar occurrence. In the end of the movie, the gas pump that belonged to Diesel’s gas station was placed beside Norbert, because he “doesn’t want to spend his life alone”. The second sequel, Cars Life 3: The Royal Heist, has her nonexistent.
• Cars 2 is apparently about Lightning McQueen competing in a race taking place in different cities around the world while his friend Mater is recruited as a spy so that he can help British agent Finn McMissile fight an evil organization of villainous, beaten-up cars. However, during the last third of the film, which takes place in London, England, the race McQueen is participating in is mysteriously interrupted by the conflict between Mater and McMissile and the Lemons, and as a result the race in particular is never brought up again after that. It's implied that the big race in Radiator Springs is the 'replacement' final round of the Grand Prix. Since the race was originally set up by Sir Miles Axlerod as part of his plan to discredit biofuels, it presumably became a moot point after the Lemons were arrested.
• A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving opens with the classic "Lucy & The Football" gag. However, after this opening scene, Lucy is never seen again in the entire special, even as her brother Linus joins in on Charlie Brown's celebration.
• In the animated adaptation of Charlotte's Web, Wilbur's best friend besides Charlotte is a gosling named Jeffrey who wants to be a pig when he grows up. He is last seen trying to join Wilbur, Charlotte, and Templeton in the crate, but he is spotted and Avery pulls him out. After Charlotte dies and Wilbur returns to the farm, Jeffrey is nowhere to be seen.
  • There was also a deleted scene, following right after that moment, which shows Jeffery trying and failing to catch up with the truck. In dismay, he sadly joins his siblings at the pond and is comforted by his mother. (For some reason, this scene was removed from subsequent releases of the film on VHS and DVD; however, it was shown on a 1980s Swedish VHS.)
• Cinderella: When Cinderella sings "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" among the mice is a chubby female mouse who looks a lot like Gus, after her brief appearance she never shows up with the other mice again.
• In Corpse Bride, Victor's parents are last seen on an out-of-control carriage whose driver has just died. They don't show up again. Although they must have lived, as their death would have been revealed to Victor in the same way as the driver's.
• Throughout all five Despicable Me movies, Bob and Otto (and that minion-chick whatchamacallit) only ever appear in the Minions duology, and are never seen or spoken of in the Despicable Me trilogy.
• In Duck And Cover, the monkey with the firecracker seems to be a suicide bomber, since he's nowhere to be seen after the explosion and the tree is destroyed. Either he jumped away at the last minute or there are several monkeys.
• A literal example in Dumbo — the last time we see Timothy is a newspaper article saying he's signed a contract for Dumbo, and he's nowhere to be seen when Dumbo reunites with his mother.
• FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue: Batty's antenna is mysteriously missing. What makes this one really jarring are the facts that 1. the antenna was a major part of his character and 2. It was implied to be permanently affixed to his head.
• Finding Nemo:
  • After Nemo manages to escape into the sewers, it pans up ominously to show that he's headed into a sewage treatment plant. The plant never actually comes up again in any capacity, and the next you see of Nemo, he pops out of a pipe and ends up safely back in the ocean.^note The script originally contained a scene explaining how Nemo survived his trip through the plant, but it was cut.
  • Nigel the pelican is last seen sadly returning Marlin and Dory to the ocean, all three believing that Nemo has perished. He gives his condolences and flies away, never learning (on-screen) that Nemo was actually alive and well.
• In Franklin and the Green Knight, while on the quest as the Green Knight and his Squire, Franklin and Snail respond to a cry for help from Mr. Gopher, who has gotten his head stuck in the window opening of his home. They manage to rescue him. As they head back off on the quest, Mr. Gopher shouts after Franklin that he likes his costume, sticking his head through the opening again to do so, and then realizing he's stuck once again. If he shouts again for help, Franklin and Snail do not hear it and for all the viewers know, he could still be stuck that way by the end of the film.
• Frozen (2013): We never learn what happened to Sitron, the horse that belongs to Prince Hans. Even the tie-in novel, A Frozen Heart, which shows Hans' perspective in the film, completely forgets Sitron even exists. It's possible he's still in Arendelle.
• In Happily Never After, the two ugly stepsisters accompany their mother Frieda for the first third of the movie, they are last seen at the ball attempting to seduce Prince Humperdink, after Frieda takes over the kingdom using the wizard’s staff they just disappear and are never seen again, being her daughters and all you’d think they would’ve been by her side during her rule.
• Subverted in Happy Feet Two. Sven seems to vanish once the Emperor Penguins are freed, only to reappear in The Stinger.
  "Ja, the Svend!"
• Heavy Metal:
  • "Den". After Norl splits up with Den during the attempt to steal the Loc-Nar from the Queen, he is never seen again. Since his master Ard ends up with the Loc-Nar, Norl presumably acquired it and returned it to him. However, he doesn't appear during the final battle between the Queen and Ard.
  • "So Beautiful, So Dangerous" starts out with government officials discussing mysterious human mutations, and Dr. Anrak seems to be part of a cover-up that is later implied to involve Zeke, Edsel, and the robot. Except the mutation story is completely and utterly forgotten when said aliens abduct Dr. Anrak and Gloria. The behind-the-scenes material on disc implies that this story was heavily edited from the original treatment — apparently to the point where it just stops arbitrarily instead of ending. In fact, much that went wrong with this film (particularly the inconsistent animation style, some poor writing in places, and sections that just stop or don't really make sense or were entirely left out like an intended link between Captain Sternn and B-17) can be seen as a combination of inexperience, poor planning, and just plain not enough time and money being spent on the project.
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame: It is unknown what happened to Frollo's soldiers after Frollo falls to his doom in the molten copper while ready to kill Esmeralda and Quasimodo with his sword near the end.
• The Incredibles:
  • Mirage is last seen helping the Parrs reach the Omnidroid in time to stop it before disappearing for the rest of the story. In the comic series, Mirage appears to have avoided severe punishment for her role in Syndrome's plans and now works as one of Rick Dicker's NSA agents. She and a reluctant Elastigirl agree to work together to investigate the disappearance of the Eiffel Tower in relation to Xerek.
  • When the supers are forced into retirement, the existing villains seem to disappear as well, and it's never explained what happened to them. Maybe the government kept some supers under low profile for such occasions, maybe the military took over, maybe the villains just got bored without challenge and quit too...your guess is as good as ours. There was at least one fan fiction that explored that mouse, suggesting that at least some of the old villains joined the private sector.
• In Joseph: King of Dreams, there's the fate of the imprisoned butler and Zuleika.
  • The butler was presumably pardoned as Joseph predicted, but there's no explanation as to why Joseph remained imprisoned for so many years after asking the freed butler to clear his name (the Bible says that the butler forgot, but it's never mentioned in the movie). The butler is at least seen serving Joseph when he's Grand Vizier.^*Or closest equivalent
  • The last anyone sees of Zuleika, she has Joseph imprisoned for refusing her advances. She never shows up again, even after Joseph becomes her husband's friend and marries her niece. The last mention of her is when Joseph leaves the dungeon.
    Potiphar: How could I have allowed this to happen? My wife—
    Joseph: I understand. (puts his hand on Potiphar's shoulder)
• Toward the end of The Jungle Book, Bagheera can be seen persuading several elephants to help him and Baloo find Mowgli before Shere Khan does. The elephants then all march off with Bagheera, but even though Bagheera comes back after Mowgli defeats Khan with the help of Baloo and some vultures, the elephants do not. Also, King Louie disappears from the movie after Baloo and Bagheera escape with Mowgli.
• Despite Justice League Dark: Apokolips War being the Grand Finale to the DC Animated Movie Universe, several characters, including Steve Trevor, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Lucius Fox, most of the Daily Planet staff, Deadman, Deadshot, the Amazons, and the Atlanteans, have their fates go unexplained before to the ending Cosmic Retcon.
• In The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, Vitruvius appears very briefly in the opening when the DUPLO Invaders are attacking... and promptly vanishes never to be seen, heard from, or even so much as mentioned ever again.
  • Since he was a ghost at the time, he most likely went into the light.
• Lilo & Stitch begins with Lilo feeding Pudge, a fish she claims controls the weather (You can see Pudge swimming by with a sandwich in Lilo's first scene). He's never mentioned again, outside of two deleted scenes: one where he's killed by seagulls, and one where Stitch accidentally kills him. He does make a proper reappearance in the TV series, though.
• The Lion King (1994):
  • The hyenas. They're never mentioned again after eating Scar. The main trio did reappear in the Spin-Off TV series Timon & Pumbaa though, getting their own segments in said series.
  • The movie did not mention anything about Timon's backstory at all. However, Timon's backstory was finally resolved in the Timon & Pumbaa episode "Once Upon a Timon" (1996), but later got retconned by the Direct to Video prequel/midquel film The Lion King 1 ½ (2004). His backstory was mentioned in a deleted scene. But Pumbaa's has hardly even been explored, although the Timon & Pumbaa episode "Home is Where the Hog is" (1996) did reveal where he came from.
  • The official comic book adaptation has Timon explain his backstory during the Hakuna Matata scene, while Pumbaa's goes ignored.
• The Lion King II: Simba's Pride:
  • The hyenas. Again, denied any explanation of where they went! Nuka states that the hyenas left the Elephant Graveyard. However, where they went and why is still unknown.
  • Near the middle of the film as Simba teaches Kiara a lesson, a baby African Pygmy Kingfisher is seen trying to fly from its nest only to be stopped by its mother. It disappears without explanation.
• The Little Mermaid (1989): King Triton's seahorse herald disappears from the movie midway through the second act, with no word on if he found Ariel.
• Literal example from The Magic Voyage: Throughout the movie a trio of rats become Pico's unwilling companions aboard Columbus' ship. Near the end they crash onto an island while the rats decide to escape by manning a lifeboat; during the crash they collide with the boat causing it to wash up on an island. When the rats are recovered from the wreckage the leader is nowhere to be seen and remains missing for the rest of the film; it can be assumed that he died in the wreck and his absence goes unmentioned by the rest of the cast.
  • The Evil Chancellor never becomes important to the story and just disappears after Columbus's meeting with the King.
• In Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge Kitana makes a couple appearances in the tournament hall, she later appears to fight Liu Kang but decides that their fight is pointless and leaves, she never shows up again, not even during the final battle. Her unresolved story (and Liu Kang's) would resume though in the sequel: Battle of the Realms.
• Mulan: During Mushu's introductory scene, he is tasked with awakening the Great Stone Dragon from its statue form, and ends up destroying it instead by hitting it too hard with his gong. This is not brought up again. Not unless some count the first ancestor's reaction and calling for Mushu's name at the end of the film, implying that he found out and is angered by what Mushu did.
• In Penguins of Madagascar, Dave's minions are never seen again after the end of the final battle.
• Peter Pan: What happened to the animals that encounter the Lost Boys? We see a bear looking at Michael's teddy bear with a confused expression, but it doesn't make any further appearances.
• Likewise in Pinocchio, no second thought is apparently given to save the boys on Pleasure Island or asking the fairy to restore their humanity. This may be because in the original story, Pinocchio doesn't try to help these boys even after he meets one of the donkeys that used to be a boy after leaving Pleasure Island.
• In the third Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf movie, Moon Castle: The Space Adventure, Wolnie's new babies are involved in a movie-wide arc about Wolnie's being pregnant with them; they only physically appear at the end of the film after being born. They are referenced exactly once in Mission Incredible: Adventures on the Dragon's Trail, which succeeds Moon Castle, and never actually appear in it or any of the later films.
• The Prince of Egypt: The two comic relief villains (turned menacing in their song), Hotep and Huy, are last seen during the plagues, with boils much like the others Egyptians, and Rameses overturns a table and sends them away. They are never seen following this. Possibly they were burned by the flaming hail, or maybe Rameses was firing or banishing them, or they were both first-born sons. Most likely they were fired, because if you listen closely, you can hear Rameses yelling: "Get out!"
• The Princess and the Frog:
  • Charlotte's dog, Stella, is heard to speak when she recognizes Tiana just as Naveen and Tiana float away. Although other animals talk throughout the film, the dog is never seen directly interacting with Tiana while she's a frog besides that one line. Apparently, Stella was originally going to part of a sub-plot, but it was dropped as the directors thought that there'd be too many talking animals in the film.
  • You never find out what happened to the cat Charlotte had in the opening scene either. Is he dead? Is he just old? Where is he if he's still alive?
• The Rescuers Down Under:
  • Wilbur's mouse plot is resolved before the credits, but no second thought is given to saving everybody back at McLeach's hideout. It's possible McLeach's line about "Say goodbye to your friends, 'cause you're never gonna see them again" was Lampshade Hanging. In addition, one of the main plot points was rescuing the golden eagle so she could return to her nest. The film ends with the hapless albatross, who was left egg-sitting, panicking as the eggs begin to hatch. So much for the joyful reunion viewers were expecting...
  • For that matter, we never get shown a different joyful reunion between parent and off-spring at the end: Cody and his mother. It doesn't help that the latter of whom likely still thinks Cody's dead.
• Disney's Robin Hood (1973):
  • Both Maid Marian and Lady Kluck are active participants in the riot following the archery contest and the following "The Villain Sucks" Song, for which Prince John has the whole town thrown in jail. However, Marian and Kluck are not among the prisoners, nor are they seen during the Jailbreak scene which ends with the castle (her residence) being set on fire. They do however return at the end of the film when Robin Hood and Maid Marian wed.
  • The original climax would have given Marian more of a role in the ending. Prince John would have stabbed Robin Hood and chased him into a church, where Marian also was hiding. While Robin Hood is lying on the ground, Prince John proceeds to threaten Marian, until King Richard shows up to save the day. It's possible that when that ending was cut, there wasn't a chance to give her a proper appearance until the wedding.
• Throughout the entire film, the villainous owl from Rock-A-Doodle is constantly accompanied by six henchowls (not counting Hunch, his nephew). But at the end of the film, there are now only five henchowls left (still not counting Hunch)!
• Shrek:
  • What really happened to the Duloc Tournament Knights when Farquaad dies by getting eaten by Dragon near the end?
  • The movie mentions that Fiona was cursed by a witch to turn into an ogress. We never find out what happened to this witch or why she cursed Fiona in the first place. However, it is implied that Fairy Godmother was the one who cursed her.
  • For that matter, it's never mentioned what happens to the Kingdom of Duloc after it's left without a ruler. It does appear in the Halloween short Scared Shrekless, but no residents are to be seen.
• The plot of The Simpsons Movie is kicked off when Homer gets a pig, Plopper. After the family is driven out of town, he is completely absent for the rest of the movie. He briefly appears in one of the alternate ending sequences on the DVD, but the final cut implies he died when the Simpsons' house was destroyed. He appears, alongside several other movie-exclusive characters, in the Couch Gag of the first episode to air after the movie, "He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs", in which he is described by Homer as his "summer love". He has made very rare appearances in a few episodes since then.
• Sing has a very literal example. Mike (an animated mouse) is seen driving away with his girlfriend near the end of the movie after thinking he has lost the angry bears who were chasing him for cheating them out of money while gambling. And yet, one was seen still clinging onto the back of his car. No further details are given. To make matters worse he's the only main character who doesn't appear in the final photo. Sing 2 eventually came out and... Made no mention of him. Matter of fact, he was the only major singer of the original film that didn't return for the sequel, leaving his fate even more up in the air.
• At the end of Sleeping Beauty, it's never explained what happened to the goons after Maleficent turned into a dragon and was later killed by Prince Phillip and the fairies while she is still in her dragon form.
• Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs:
  • While the dwarfs are washing up, Dopey accidentally swallows a bar of soap. This was originally resolved in the very next scene, but that scene was cut during production.
  • If you pay close attention to the Queen's scenes after learning of the Huntsman's failure to kill Snow White, you'll notice that she doesn't interact with the Huntsman once before she dies, which means the Huntsman lives to see the end of the film. And in case that doesn't make it clear enough, the Screen-to-Stage Adaptation at Radio City Music Hall in 1979 had an original scene where he and the Prince reported to the King that Snow White was still alive. He's extremely lucky that the Queen decided to get rid of Snow White straight away instead of punishing him first. That does happen in the Perspective Flip novel Fairest of Them All — she stabs him with a knife (and the red blood gives her the idea to use a poisoned apple on Snow White) — but it's unclear whether he dies of this wound or not, so that would qualify as a straight example of this trope.
• In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, it's never explained what happened to Karen after the time machine was destroyed, although it's safe to say that Plankton rebuilt her after the events of the movie.
  • Also, what happened to the Guardian island skeleton (That punches Burger Beard away back to his ship while stealing the Magic Book in the beginning of the film) when Burger beard gets punched by Plank-Ton (Plankton's Super form) back to the island where he gets the book.
• Strange Magic: What happened to the love potion after Roland is hit by it? Is the imp going to find it and continue his reign of terror/shipping?
• In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, we never see what happens to Kamek after Peach kicks the Super Star from him.
• The Tale of Despereaux: What happened to the weird guy made out of fruits and vegetables after Despereaux left him to rescue the princess? Did the rats eat him? Was he just left there to rot?
• Happened with the American cut of The Thief and the Cobbler:
  • While Princess Yum Yum is bathing, the Thief steals her back scratcher. In the American version nothing comes of it. In the original version, the Thief steals two back scratchers and uses them to escape having his hands cut off.
  • While Tack and Yum Yum are consulting the Witch, the Thief is trying to get a giant ruby on a tower by flying with palm frond wings. He ends up crashing into the Witch. But since the American version eliminates nearly all the footage of the Witch, the Thief's fate is left literally up in the air.
  • The American Version cuts out the Mighty One-Eye's death and even has him still alive when his machine collapses, because in the background you can hear him say "MY MACHINE!" But Tack later says "King One Eye was defeated for all eternity", which could only happen if he was dead... so apparently the audience is supposed to assume he was on top of his machine as it burned, and was trapped with no way out and burned to death.
  • There is also a literal example: Early in the film, Tack is seen feeding a mouse while he's imprisoned, and it's later seen that he's sneaked the mouse out with him when he escaped (these shots are present in all versions of the film). While it's never seen again in the edits, in the original cut he removes the mouse from his pocket and gives it to YumYum before he goes to face One-Eye's army.
• In Titanic: The Animated Movie, the ending shows virtually everyone who is named and given a backstory (or as much of a backstory as the characters get) escaping onto lifeboats, except for Molly (the singer), Winnie (the gold digger), and Jeremy McFlannel (the banker). It's later established that Molly drowned while singing with the orchestra as the ship sank (no explanation for that), but nothing is said about Winnie or McFlannel's fates. This is pretty strange, when you consider that the movie goes out of its way to hook all of the characters up in the epilogue, regardless of whether or not they'd met before. The writers may have been going for a kid-friendly way to kill the evil banker that didn't die in the original James Cameron movie. The uncut version heavily implies that they died together on the ship. The last they're seen, Winnie refuses to get on the lifeboats and insists on staying with McFlannel, even though he asks her not to "sacrifice [herself] for [him]".
• In The Transformers: The Movie, Shockwave is last seen alerting the Decepticons about Unicron's attack. He doesn't show up in the post-movie episodes of the cartoon series either. He was meant to be crushed under Unicron's giant hand, but that scene got cut. Oddly, a later incarnation of Shockwave from the film Transformers: Prime: Predacons Rising suffered the opposite fate. He was given what appeared to be a conclusive death scene, only to show up alive anyway a bit later, and then get forgotten.
• In Turning Red, while travelling to the concert, Mei casts off her ceremonial robe in mid-air and it is never seen or mentioned again.
• Early on in WALL•E, you learn that the Axiom was only one of a large number of ships used to evacuate the Earth. "BnL Starliners leaving each day!" But you never find out what happened to the other ships, or the (presumably) huge number of people that lived on them, the end credits imply that they eventually return to Earth as well.
• Zootopia: We never find out what happens to Finnick after Nick gives up a life of being a con artist for being a cop.
