The credits are rolling! Wasn't that a great show? Let's all reflect on the great moments we just watched. ...Ah, here they come now! And they brought a stirring, victorious musical track, too!

In short: The credit sequences of TV shows, movies or video games include a [[Montage]] of stills or clips from earlier in the show. In some works, this sequence is animated or drawn in a different style, making it an [[Animated Credits Opening]] at the end of the show. It's similar to a [[Title Montage]], but the clips or stills tend to be longer and more representative of the complete plot, rather than (as in a Title Montage) brief clips showing off the characters and scenery.
