10 Recent Movie Post-Credit Scenes Worth Sticking Around For

9. When You Wish Upon A Star - Wish

Wish 2023
Disney

Most post-credit scenes fall into either the category of funny, giving audiences one last laugh before the curtain truly closes, or setting up a story that will be furthered down the line. However, Wish's was an incredibly sweet and touching scene, particularly essential to see for Disney fans.

Throughout the film, the people of Rosas get their wishes taken away by King Magnifico (Chris Pine), though of course they are all returned with the help of a literal star by the end. The message is to keep wishing, and it is heartwarming.

It was always the wish of Asha's grandfather to inspire people, and to make them happy. His wish was never granted by the King, but once it was returned to him, it was something he could aspire to once again. In the post-credit scene, though it is only for a second or two, he begins to play 'When You Wish Upon A Star' on his guitar, as something of a tribute to the legacy of Walt Disney Studios.

Throughout the credits themselves can be seen images of all Disney Animation's most beloved characters, from Snow White through to Moana, as an homage to all the wonders that have been brought to the screens over the decades. Hearing the opening notes of Disney's signature song just solidified that Wish truly wanted to go back to the start, honouring both the wonderful stories that have been told, and those still to come.
