* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': The finale is considered by Creator/MattBraly to comprise the last three segments of the series. [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E29TheBeginningOfTheEnd "The Beginning of the End"]] has Anne, the Plantars, Sasha, and all their allies they made on Amphibia coming together to fight King Andrias to prevent him from using the music box to invade Earth [[spoiler: only to finally learn of the existence of his master, the Core, and its possession of their friend Marcy. This leads into the hour-long [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E30AllIn "All In"]], where they manage to stop Andrias' invasion with the help of all the allies they made on Earth, and succeed in freeing Marcy. The half-hour [[Recap/AmphibiaS3E31TheHardestThing "The Hardest Thing"]] has one final battle against the Core itself when it tries to [[ColonyDrop drop the moon]] onto Amphibia in a last spiteful attack. In said final battle, Anne performs a HeroicSacrifice and encounters the creator of the gems powering the music box, who revives her and offers her his job as GuardianOfTheMultiverse. Anne refuses and is sent back to Amphibia, and after a tearful farewell, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy leave Amphibia behind for good while the denizens of Amphibia rebuild their world and society, with the DistantFinale wrapping things up and showing [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue where they are now]].]]

* The AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Jumanji}}'' had a finale, at a time when such was extremely rare for kids' shows. Unfortunately, it's a ClipShow in which we sit through boring StockFootage until we finally [[spoiler:see Alan's first trip into Jumanji, including the clue that he never got to see. Once they solve it, the three leave the World of Jumanji for good. As Peter says at the end: "Game over."]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' had "The League Of Villains", where King Goobot assembled nearly all of the villains (aside from the Nanobots, who were destroyed at the end of their final appearance, and Meldar) to try to take down Jimmy for good. In the end, Jimmy sent all of them (or at least the ones that didn’t reform) back to the age of the dinosaurs.

* ''WesternAnimation/AThousandAndOneAmericas'': The 26th and final episode is thematically devoted to the most powerful civilization in the Americas before the arrival of the Europeans (the Aztecs), deals with Chris being kidnapped by captors and needing to be rescued, and reveals about what the Aztecs believed to be an eventual (and inevitable) apocalypse. When Chris wakes up, we see the conclusion of the episode (and the series by extension) as Chris and Monica go downstairs to enjoy some chocolate together, prepared by the former's mom.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' averts a flashy Grand Finale, but in the last episode "To Sirloin With Love," Hank and Bobby find a common ground (grilling beef) and [[SoProudOfYou finally start bonding like father and son]], while Dale gives Nancy a massage that's better than John Redcorn's and viewers finally find out what Boomhauer does for a living (he's a member of the Texas Rangers). The [[SeriesFauxnale original last episode]] was supposed to be in season 10 with Luanne marrying Lucky and everyone from past seasons coming to the wedding, but the show got picked up for two more seasons.

** The actual last episode before ''Leroy & Stitch'' also counts, as it involves Lilo and Stitch recovering the experiments that were caught by Gantu, who was planning to reconvert the ones that Lilo and Stitch rehabilitated to evil using Angel. However, that episode ("Snafu") was not the last broadcast, as "Link" was first a bonus feature released on the ''Leroy & Stitch'' DVD release a few days after the movie's broadcast, and then was broadcast on Disney Channel the following month after.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' ended with the appropriately titled hour long special "Last Day Of Summer". The plot is that it's the inevitable 104th day of summer, and that's it's Candace's final chance to bust the boys, who have combined almost all their previous inventions into one colossal invention. Of course, the invention disappears before Mom shows up, so she recommends that Candace should just just return some [=DVDs=] to Vanessa. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz builds a Tri-Govenor-inator, after realizing that a placement for "ruler of the Tri-State Area" never existed in the first place. When Candace arrives to return the [=DVDs=], she discovers Doofenshmirtz's Do-Over-inator, which leads to Candace using it causing a GroundhogDayLoop, on her and the "evil" scientist, causing them to relive the last day, and complete their goals. Unfortunately, this causes some rips in the space time continuum which make the days shorter, and the disappearance of items from reality and memory. This eventually causes Phineas and Ferb to disappear, and Candace is the only one who remembers who they are. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz finally takes over the Tri-State Area, and hopes that Vanessa can finally be happy about him. However, [[VictoryIsBoring he gets bored after awhile]], and once Vanessa reveals she got an internship at O.W.C.A while also explaining that he's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech basically a good guy pretending to be evil]], he does a surprising HeelFaceTurn. Candace eventually ends up in the altered time wormhole with Isabella, Bajeet, and Buford, and manage to find Phineas and Ferb. This leads to them building a catapult out of the wormhole, and into present day with the Do-Over inator. At the same time, Doofenshmirtz gets Vanessa and Perry to build a Time-Redo-inator that'll fix the timeline. Thankfully, they manage to save the timeline and everything returns to normal. This then leads to one final musical number where the main characters all recap on the show's most memorable moments and [[ThankingTheViewer thank the fans for tuning in all these years]]. And at the end, Phineas waves goodbye to the audience before shutting the door.
