* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' was released on October 6, 2017, just 4 days before the main show's 7th anniversary.
* Both ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' had WWE crossover films released in 2015 and 2017 respectively to honor both shows' 55th anniversary. They even have the same writers.

* For the 30th anniversary of the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' franchise in 2015[[note]]Most of these took place during the month of October since October 21st, 2015 was when ''Part II'' took place.[[/note]]:
** Pepsi released the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrwRdzFP-fY Pepsi Perfect]], designed exactly as it appears in ''Part II''. Only 6500 units were made.
** ''Back to the Future: The Complete Animated Series'' was released on DVD for the first time, in its entirety and uncut. In addition, a "30th Anniversary Trilogy" CompilationRerelease of the movies was released on DVD and Blu-Ray, along with [[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition The Complete Adventures]], which includes the previously mentioned [=DVDs=] and a replica flux capacitor.
** In October 21st, the movies came back to cinemas for one day only.
** Microsoft celebrated the occasion by including an interesting EasterEgg in its website, where typing in the words "OUTATIME" would pop up the [=DeLorean=] flux capacitor, followed by a video of clouds, wherein a flashing of lights are shown, an indication that something is coming, just like how it was portrayed in the movies. The page that is displayed afterwards shows the phrase "Great Scott! The future is precisely on schedule", a reference to one of Doc Brown's lines; the page also displays many of Microsoft's current hardware--[=HoloLens=] (VR), Lumia (smartphone), Band (fitness tracker), Surface (tablet/two-in-one laptop) and UsefulNotes/XboxOne--showcased side-by side with corresponding technologies from TheEighties (as an added bonus, the page can be viewed in 3D, if you have the appropriate glasses).
** Telltale Games rereleased the [[VideoGame/BackToTheFuture video game]] for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, UsefulNotes/XboxOne and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, with improved textures, new dialogue and interviews with various staff involved with the game and the films, including the films' co-writer and producer. {{UsefulNotes/Steam}} also had a 75% discount on the game on October 21st, as part of one of its Daily Deals.
** ''VideoGame/RocketLeague'' added the franchise's iconic [=DeLorean=] as DownloadableContent--complete with 'burnt rubber' Rocket Trail.
** ''VideoGame/JetpackJoyride'' added a brand new mode, which has Barry looking like Marty [=McFly=] (Doc Brown and Biff Tanner's looks are unlockable), the set is the 2015 Hill Valley from ''Part II'', the jetpack is the 1985 guitar, and the available vehicles are the Flying Skateboard (which gives you a double jump) and the franchise's iconic [=DeLorean=] (which gives you a ''huge'' boost when it goes over 88). In this mode, hitting hazards does not immediately kill you, instead, you are {{timed|Mission}}: powerups scattered on the playing field add 5 seconds to your time, and getting hit removes 10 seconds.
** ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet 3'' gained a Back to the Future inspired campaign for its first {{DLC}}, which has Sackboy following Marty [=McFly=] and Doc Brown in a recreation of the first movie. Two costume packs are also available.
** ''Wild Gunman'' was released on the UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole. This is important when you realize that Marty played this very game in ''Part II''.
* Movie studios often get updated {{Vanity Plate}}s on their anniversaries. Movies released during the first year of the updated logos also contain messages denoting the anniversary. (eg, ''Film/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'' in 2010 begins by panning up from the Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox structure to some lights spelling out, "Celebrating 75 Years"[[note]]Referring to the 1935 merger of the Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures, not the 1915 founding of the Fox Film Corporation. On that note, the updated Fox logo actually debuted one month before the anniversary year began, without the 75 years message, in front of December 2009's ''Film/{{Avatar}}''.[[/note]].)
** Creator/{{Universal}} celebrated its 75th anniversary[[note]]referring to the 1915 re-branding as Universal Pictures Company, Inc., not the 1912 founding of Universal Film Manufacturing Company[[/note]] by opening each movie released in 1990 with the logos that graced their works from 1927-1990, and a then-new logo (though they skipped the version that refers to them as Universal International). Fittingly, this montage first appeared at the beginning of ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII''.
** Universal released a similar video for their 100th anniversary[[note]]referring to the 1912 founding of Universal Film Manufacturing Company[[/note]], preceding another new logo with the ones used from 1927-2012 (they did not exclude the Universal International ident this time), but showed this montage online instead of during movies.
* Anniversaries are generally a good excuse for LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition video releases of beloved films, dating back to the VHS era.
* ''Film/JamesBond''
** ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' marked both the 20th ''Bond'' film and the 40th anniversary of the film series, and as a result was rife with {{Mythology Gag}}s and {{Continuity Nod}}s. It was supposed to have a Creator/SeanConnery [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo cameo]].
** ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' commemorated the 50th anniversary of the ''Bond'' films with a bunch of {{Mythology Gag}}s (one of which gets some importance in the final battle) and a status quo change for Creator/DanielCraig's Bond. It also considered having a Creator/SeanConnery [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo cameo]] but the director felt that Connery appearing as not Bond felt wrong.
* It's very common for superhero films to be released during special anniversaries of the characters they're adapting:
** The original ''Film/{{Superman}}'' movie was released in 1978, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Franchise/{{Superman}}'s debut in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #1 (June 1938). ''Film/ManOfSteel'' was released in June 2013, his 75th anniversary.
** The first ''Film/{{Batman}}'' movie was released in 1989 in time for the 50th anniversary of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s first appearance in #27 of Detective Comics.
** The first ''Film/SpiderMan1'' film was released in 2002 for [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spidey's]] 40th anniversary, ''Film/SpiderMan3'' was released in 2007 for the 45th, and the reboot ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' was released in 2012, ten years after the original film, for the 50th. ''Another'' reboot, ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', was released in 2017, just in time for the 55th.
** The first ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' movie was released in Spring 2004, on the 10th anniversary of ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'s first appearance in comics (''Dime Press'' #4, March 1994).
** ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' was released in 2011 celebrating the 70th anniversary of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's first appearance in 1941, with ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' coming out in 2016, in time for his 75th. The latter also loosely adapts the ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' miniseries on the 10th anniversary of its 2006 debut, and features the feature film debut of ComicBook/BlackPanther, 50 years after his first appearance in 1966.
** ''Film/IronMan3'' was released in 2013, 50 years after ComicBook/IronMan's first appearance in ''Tales of Suspense'' #39 back in 1963.
** ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' was released in 2016, 25 years after [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} the character's]] first appearance in ''New Mutants'' #98 in 1991.
** 2016's ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', similar to ''Civil War'', marks the live-action film debut of ComicBook/WonderWoman, 75 years after her debut in ''All-Star Comics'' #8 back in 1941.
** 2017 would be comic legend Creator/JackKirby's 100th birthday and while probably coincidental, five movies feature characters created or co-created by Kirby:
*** ''Film/{{Logan}}'' was the first. While Kirby didn't create Wolverine and ComicBook/{{X 23}} was created years after Kirby's death, the film is a spinoff of the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' and Jack Kirby did create the X-Men, and ''Logan'' features Professor X.
*** The second was ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2''. While Kirby did not (co)-create the team itself, the movie ''did'' include Kirby creations Groot and Ego the Living Planet.
*** While Kirby didn't help create Franchise/SpiderMan, ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' does feature Franchise/IronMan [[spoiler:and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, who makes a few minor {{Cameo}}s]] whom Kirby did help create.
*** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' will also celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first appearance of not only ComicBook/TheMightyThor in ''Journal into Mystery'' #83, but also ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk in ''The Incredible Hulk'' #1 back in 1962.
*** Lastly, ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' features the ComicBook/NewGods making a proper cinematic debut after set-up in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. Its release date was also on the 16th anniversary of the first airing of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''[='=]s first episode.
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and [[Film/Avengers4 its unnamed sequel]] appear to be taking this trope UpToEleven. ''Infinity War'' debuted on April 27, 2018: Nine years and 358 years after the May 2, 2008 release of ''Film/IronMan'', the start of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. ''Infinity War'' also featured the 2008 incarnation of the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy, who will also be celebrating their 10th anniversary. ''Infinity War'' will also feature ComicBook/IronMan, ComicBook/DoctorStrange, and, of course, ComicBook/TheAvengers, all of whom will be celebrating the 55th anniversary of their first appearances back in 1963. Lastly, the sequel will be released in 2019: the 80th anniversary of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
** Both the ''Film/WonderWoman'' movie and ''Film/ProfessorMarstonAndTheWonderWoman'', a {{biopic}} of the comic's creators, were independently released to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Wonder Woman's first appearance.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' was released the year of Star Trek's 20th anniversary.
** ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' was released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' as a GrandFinale that reunited the entire original cast one last time and ended the conflict with their old arch-enemies, the Klingons.
** ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' was released during the franchise's 30th anniversary, which was also being celebrated by the two TV series on air at the time(seen below in the TV section). The film sees the [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation crew]] go back in time to stop the Borg from changing history [[spoiler: and as a result shows humanity's [[TitleDrop first contact]] with the Vulcans, pretty much serving as the major starting point of Trek history.]]
** ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', the final Next Generation movie, was released the same year as [=TNG's=] 15th anniversary.
** ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' was released in 2016, to celebrate the franchise's 50th anniversary, and there are many homages and meta-commentaries on the special occasion.
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' has had several since the [[Film/{{Gojira}} first movie]], which have featured {{Retool}}s, {{Continuity Reboot}}s and/or {{Grand Finale}}s for whichever series of films Creator/{{Toho}} was working on.
** ''Film/MothraVSGodzilla'' and ''Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster'' were the 10th anniversary films. The former was first movie to cross two Toho properties (''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'' was the first film to cross Godzilla over with another movie monster, but of course Kong isn't a Toho property), while the latter was the first time Godzilla teamed up with other {{Kaiju}} and the first time he was portrayed as defending humanity. As another note, this was also the first film to cross over more than two Toho kaiju; crossing over a total of ''three'' [[Film/{{Gojira}} different]] [[Film/{{Mothra}} kaiju]] [[Film/{{Rodan}} movies]]; a record of which wouldn't be broken until 1968's ''Film/{{Destroy All Monsters}}''.
** ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'' was created as Creator/{{Toho}}'s 30th anniversary film, which fortunately coincided with the 30th anniversary of the release of the original ''Film/{{King Kong| 1933}}''; it was also both monsters' third respective film appearances. Then, for the studio's 60th anniversary, they decided to try and remake it. However, due to copyright issues, they opted for Godzilla's most iconic foe, resulting in ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah''.
** The original [[RobotMe Mechagodzilla]] duology (''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla'' and ''Film/TerrorOfMechagodzilla''), for the 20th anniversary, removed many of the LighterAndSofter elements that made the immediately preceding films so disliked while also concluding the Showa series.
** ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'', as its name implies, brought Godzilla back for the 30th anniversary along with better special effects and a DarkerAndEdgier tone.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'', the 40th anniversary film, ended the Heisei series by having Godzilla fight a monster with origins related to the Oxygen Destroyer that killed him in the original film and then killing Godzilla off again; the film even ended with a brief montage of clips from the first film. The unmade American 1994 ''Script/{{Godzilla|1994}}'' was originally intended to be the anniversary film.
** ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' ended the Millennium series on the 50th anniversary by having Godzilla fight and kill almost every other monster he had ever faced.
** ''Film/Godzilla2014'' was released 60 years after the original film (though it's 6 months too early to be an ''exact'' anniversary). The months before the movie came out saw a promotional toy fair that featured models of the numerous designs of Godzilla and other monsters over the course of the franchise, along with a limited theatrical run of [[Film/{{Gojira}} the original 1954 film]]. Ironically, it was also released just a month too late to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''Film/MothraVSGodzilla'' (which was released in April of 1964).
* Warner Bros. did a limited theatrical reissue of ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' to mark its 25th anniversary in 1996, and the soundtrack was finally given a CD release. When the film hit 30 in 2001, it received a special edition DVD release (as opposed to the previous VanillaEdition) that brought back many cast and crew members for its special features, and a making-of book (''Pure Imagination''). For the 40th anniversary in 2011, they went the full LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition route with a Blu-Ray package that included the previous disc's bonus features, the book, and a few other physical extras.
* The Disney Channel-produced 2016 reboot of ''Film/{{Adventures in Babysitting|2016}}'' was the 100th film produced for the channel. As such, in the days leading up to its premiere, every other Disney Channel Original Movie was rebroadcast, including older ones and/or films that were rarely rebroadcast.
* ''Film/TheLastJedi''[='=]s 2017 release marks the 40th Anniversary of the ''Franchise/StarWars Saga'' - and given it's a ruby anniversary, the ''Star Wars'' logo being red for this film even fits. Its release date would have been nearly 40 years to the day of ''Film/ANewHope''[='=]s release in 1977, but due to rewrites it was pushed back to December of that year.
** ''Film/{{Solo}} was released on May 25, 2018, the 41st anniversary of ''A New Hope's'' 1977 release, in which Harrison Ford first appeared as Han Solo.
----
* ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' has a LogoJoke for the Disney Animation VanityPlate proclaiming the film as being the 50th movie in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon.
* ''Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet'' includes a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover of every Disney property, and is nearly being released on the 90th anniversary of ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie'' (the short that helped to launch the company's success), although it's shifted forwards by 2 days.
* Creator/{{Pixar}}
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' came out during Pixar's 20th anniversary. To commemorate this, the Pixar logo fades into "Celebrating 20 Years" written against a black background, with Luxo Junior's light bulb forming the zero in the 20.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}'' celebrated Pixar's 25th anniversary with a CreatorCameo of Pixar head John Lasseter. (It also introduced an uncelebratory first for Pixar[[note]]It was Pixar's first, and so far only, film to be rated as "Rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes[[/note]], but that's neither here or there.) The theatrical version of the film similarly began with a LogoJoke featuring Luxo Jr. fading into a "Celebrating 25 Years" message, but the home video release begins with the standard logo.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'' marks 20 years of Pixar's theatrical films, though it misses the milestone by a few days[[note]]''Dinosaur''[='=]s release is on November 25, 2015, three days after the anniversary of the release of their first film, ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'', on November 22, 1995[[/note]]. In Asia, South America, Norway and the Middle East, ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' celebrates this milestone, with trailers for ''Inside Out'' released in those countries mentioning this.
** ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' was released in the year of Pixar's 30th anniversary.
** For individual films, on December 10, 2015 Creator/{{ABC}} commemorated the 20th anniversary of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' with a retrospective special entitled ''Toy Story at 20: To Infinity And Beyond'', featuring new interviews with the cast and crew. This was followed by a showing of the original ''Toy Story'' itself.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWrestlemaniaMystery'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooFrankencreepy'' were both released in 2014 to honor the 45th anniversary of the franchise. The former also honors the 30th anniversary of Wrestlemania while the latter makes callbacks to the older cartoons.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' was released on October 6, 2017, just 4 days before the main show's 7th anniversary.
* Both ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' had WWE crossover films released in 2015 and 2017 respectively to honor both shows' 55th anniversary. They even have the same writers.

As another note, this was also the first film to cross over more than two Toho kaiju; crossing over a total of ''three'' [[Film/{{Gojira}} different]] [[Film/{{Mothra}} kaiju]] [[Film/{{Rodan}} movies]]; a record of which wouldn't be broken until 1968's ''Film/{{Destroy All Monsters}}''.
** ''Film/KingKongVsGodzilla'' was created as Creator/{{Toho}}'s 30th anniversary film, which fortunately coincided with the 30th anniversary of the release of the original ''Film/{{King Kong| 1933}}''; it was also both monsters' third respective film appearances. Then, for the studio's 60th anniversary, they decided to try and remake it. However, due to copyright issues, they opted for Godzilla's most iconic foe, resulting in ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah''.
** The original [[RobotMe Mechagodzilla]] duology (''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla'' and ''Film/TerrorOfMechagodzilla''), for the 20th anniversary, removed many of the LighterAndSofter elements that made the immediately preceding films so disliked while also concluding the Showa series.
** ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'', as its name implies, brought Godzilla back for the 30th anniversary along with better special effects and a DarkerAndEdgier tone.
** ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'', the 40th anniversary film, ended the Heisei series by having Godzilla fight a monster with origins related to the Oxygen Destroyer that killed him in the original film and then killing Godzilla off again; the film even ended with a brief montage of clips from the first film. The unmade American 1994 ''Script/{{Godzilla|1994}}'' was originally intended to be the anniversary film.
** ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' ended the Millennium series on the 50th anniversary by having Godzilla fight and kill almost every other monster he had ever faced.
** ''Film/Godzilla2014'' was released 60 years after the original film (though it's 6 months too early to be an ''exact'' anniversary). The months before the movie came out saw a promotional toy fair that featured models of the numerous designs of Godzilla and other monsters over the course of the franchise, along with a limited theatrical run of [[Film/{{Gojira}} the original 1954 film]]. Ironically, it was also released just a month too late to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ''Film/MothraVSGodzilla'' (which was released in April of 1964).
* Warner Bros. did a limited theatrical reissue of ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' to mark its 25th anniversary in 1996, and the soundtrack was finally given a CD release. When the film hit 30 in 2001, it received a special edition DVD release (as opposed to the previous VanillaEdition) that brought back many cast and crew members for its special features, and a making-of book (''Pure Imagination''). For the 40th anniversary in 2011, they went the full LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition route with a Blu-Ray package that included the previous disc's bonus features, the book, and a few other physical extras.
* The Disney Channel-produced 2016 reboot of ''Film/{{Adventures in Babysitting|2016}}'' was the 100th film produced for the channel. As such, in the days leading up to its premiere, every other Disney Channel Original Movie was rebroadcast, including older ones and/or films that were rarely rebroadcast.
* ''Film/TheLastJedi''[='=]s 2017 release marks the 40th Anniversary of the ''Franchise/StarWars Saga'' - and given it's a ruby anniversary, the ''Star Wars'' logo being red for this film even fits. Its release date would have been nearly 40 years to the day of ''Film/ANewHope''[='=]s release in 1977, but due to rewrites it was pushed back to December of that year.
** ''Film/{{Solo}} was released on May 25, 2018, the 41st anniversary of ''A New Hope's'' 1977 release, in which Harrison Ford first appeared as Han Solo.
