The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Never mind, I found a similar example on one of the Book Ends pages.
Does a Trope exist for when the main character goes through the motions of an Establishing Character Moment, except with a few modifications to the scene, to demonstrate how his/her life has changed throughout the story? Specific examples that come to my mind include The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie having early scenes (but not exactly at the beginning) of their respective main characters going through a daily routine alone, and ending with them repeating at least part of those routines, with their new friends joining in.
