* ''[[As Told by Ginger]]''
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'':
* The ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' episodes "The High Life" (Gerald has no money to buy rollerblades... and at the end, because of the phone line etc. he got to sell his watches to get the money, he ''still'' has no money to buy rollerblades) and "Arnold Betrays Iggy" (Arnold is mad at Iggy for forcing him to wear embarassing clothes in public and refuses to forgive him, mirroring an earlier scene where Iggy refused to forgive Arnold for exposing his secret, and he didn't even do so).▼
** "The High Life": Gerald has no money to buy rollerblades... and at the end, because of the phone line, etc., he had to sell his watches to get the money, and he ''still'' has no money to buy rollerblades.

** Not to mention we never do find out what happened to his parents. The episode that featured their flashback ended with Arnold finding a map and rushing to his Grandpa about it. This was actually intended to be the lead-in to a second ''Hey Arnold!'' film which would resolve this question, but Craig Bartlett's departure from the show coupled with the low gross of the first film led the series to a premature end before this could be resolved. This movie ''also'' would have resolved the cliff-hanger over how Arnold would have responded when Helga, at the end of the first film, confessed her true feelings to him.
* ''[[The Weekenders]]'', "Croquembouche" (about Carver in a food essay contest: Tino does his usual end-of-episode [[An Aesop|Aesop]] routine while Carver presents his essay on a French cake, which gives the ep its title, and the ep ends with people applauding Carver's speech, without showing if he won or not)

** Actually, the animated series is consider non-canon. One of the books notes that there was a [[Shout-Out|unpopular, short lived holovid show]] based off his actual career.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' never resolves the question of what happened to {{spoiler|Zuko's mom}}.
** [[Sequel Series]], ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'', features a character asking the phrase above ''verbatim''. The
* ''[[Spider-Man
** A book on Spider-Man{{context}} mentioned that had the second season happened, Spidey and the resistance would save the day. The class system on the Second Earth would be abolished and Spidey would return to his own planet. Looks like they were going to go back to basics.
* The animated ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' notoriously ended halfway through with no warning. There was supposed to a second movie to wrap things up, but it never got off the ground; ''[[Return of the King]]'' was produced a few years later by Rankin and Bass, the company who made the animated version of ''[[The Hobbit]]''.
* ''[[Robotix]]'' ended with Nemesis, who had been presumed deceased, still alive in space. If the episodes had been picked up as a full series, he and the other Terrakors would have most likely returned to Skalorr to get revenge on the Protectons.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)]]'':

** Lampshaded again in a different episode, where a supermarket [[Ripped from the Headlines|bagging boy strike]] tangentially led to the family going on an African safari. As the family drifts down a dangerous river on a ''very'' makeshift raft, Homer wonders if the strike back home is over. Then Lisa realizes they're about to careen over Victoria Falls...as Homer continues to rant on why those bag boys don't deserve crap.
** Interestingly inverted in one episode where Homer, going crazy with [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet]] to scare everyone, ends up offending someone who ''accepts'' his challenge and he and the family are forced to flee the house while he's waiting on the lawn. At the end of the episode when they return from a failed farming venture, Homer finds his opponent still waiting for him and they end up dueling after all.
