The Movie is a heavily expanded, one-shot
This trope primarily dates from before DVD, and occurred a lot during the 80s and early 1990s. A cinematic feature was considered much more important for a particular series or franchise at the time, than it would be now; although it can still sometimes occur.

== [[Anime]]
* The first ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime film was meant to tie up loose ends and make sense of certain events in the first season. Later films in the series were more standalone, though still considered in continuity. Interestingly though, the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth movie feature an overarching storyline involving the three Dragon legendaries of Sinnoh.
** It is worthy to note that the first movie was once intended as a [[Grand Finale]] in the early production process, [[Never Trust a Trailer|indicated by early teasers]], but that plot was dropped later because of popularity.
Line 35:
* The movie based off of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime adaptation]] of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', ''The Conquerer of Shamballa'', was essentially that canon's [[Grand Finale]]/epilogue.
* The eighth ''[[One Piece]]'' movie, ''One Piece: Episode of Alabasta, Princess of the Desert and the Pirates'', is a retelling of the series' Alabasta arc.
** There are a total of
* Currently there are 4 ''[[Bleach]]'' movies released. The first is about a group of rebels trying to destroy Soul Society, the second is about Captain Hitsugaya trying to clear his name, the third is about people forgetting Rukia and Ichigo, and the fourth is about Hell.
* Similarly, there are six, with a seventh announced, ''[[Naruto]]'' movies. The first three films are set in Part 1, only the first of which takes place before the Sasuke Retrevial arc, the latter two sometime during the filler arcs. The three Shippuden movies take place, presumably, before Sai's introduction, before Sasuke {{spoiler|kills Orochimaru}} and sometime after {{spoiler|Asuma's death}} respectively.
Line 70 ⟶ 69:
* ''[[K-On!]]'' has a movie that takes place [[Retcon|in the middle of the already-completed second season]], showing the girls' graduation trip between their university entrance exams and their high-school graduation.
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' has ''three'' movies: A two part [[Compilation Movie]] of the anime followed by the movie-length continuation ''Rebellion''.
* The anime adaption of ''[[Steins;Gate]]'' received a feature film titled ''Steins;Gate//The Movie - Load Region of Déja Vu,'' which takes place one year after the events of ''Steins;Gate'', and focuses more on Makise Kurisu as she {{Spoiler|tries to keep Okabe Rintaro from disappearing from existence due to his so-called "Reading Steiner" going haywire}}.
* The ''[[Violet Evergarden (anime)|Violet Evergarden]]'' series has two: ''[[Violet Evergarden: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll]]'' and ''[[Violet Evergarden: The Movie]]''. The latter advances the arc of the titular character.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[Neon Exodus Evangelion]]'' by [[Eyrie Productions, Unlimited]], despite being a fanfic, is structured as though it was a TV series, with three seasons of nine episodes each. It then concludes with a The Movie, set after the episodes and wrapping everything up with an epic fight scene.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==▼
▲== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' had two films starring Peter Cushing as 'Dr. Who' (his real name) which took place outside the series' continuary. A canon film was the 1996 Paul McGann TV movie, which was an attempt to get the show back on track after its original 1989 canceling.
* ''[[The X-Files]]'' used its first movie to further its storyline, although it mostly used the medium to reveal important secrets of the [[Government Conspiracy]]. By contrast, ''The X-Files: I Want to Believe'' has nothing to do with the [[Myth Arc]], so it's more of a [[Non-Serial Movie]].
Line 141:
* ''[[Studio 3]]'s'' ''Bitcom'' segment of shorts became popular enough to get its own 40-minute [[Spin-Off]] special, ''Bitcom And The Oblivion Ray''.
== [[Music]] ==▼
▲== Music ==
* ''[[Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny]]'' is the origin story of the D, and would chronologically lead to the earlier HBO shorts. Of course, [[Stoner Flick|everybody was probably too baked]] to care about the canon.
* ''[[ABBA]]: The Movie.'' Guess what it's about. It also had album and sheet music tie-ins, called ''ABBA: The Album'' and ''ABBA: The Folio''.

* ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut]]'' is in canon with the rest of the series. The back of the DVD case claims that "unlike most other movies that got their start on the silver screen, [this one] doesn't suck." ([[Stephen Sondheim]] is known to have sent the shows creators a letter congratulating them on the film's musical score.)
** To be specific, the reference is in the form of a two part episode, resolving the question of what happens to the relationship between Saddam Hussein and Satan. {{spoiler|Satan has started to date another guy, but by the end, he decides to stay single.}} There is also mention of the US-Canada war and Terrance & Phillip's near execution in "Terrance & Phillip: Behind the Blow."
