00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most jaw-dropping finales
00:16from our favorite animated films. We are talking about the climaxes of these stories, so there
00:21are spoilers ahead. Number 10 – Mutant Madness in Manhattan – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
00:37– Mutant Mayhem The half-shell heroes have seen some epic fights
00:45on the big screen, but they've never had any like this. When the villain Superfly transforms
00:50into a kaiju, the Turtles and their mutant allies try to stop him from destroying New
00:54York City. They confidently stride into battle, only to get overwhelmed almost immediately.
01:00Hey, Leo! Got him!
01:03Fortunately, Leo steps up and rallies the team. Not only do they defeat Superfly, they're
01:13celebrated as heroes. The visuals in this finale are as grotesque as they are eye-popping, giving
01:19it a gritty comic book texture that, combined with the fun characters in writing, make
01:23this a true cinematic spectacle.
01:25We'll be fine, Dad.
01:26Yeah, don't worry. We're ready for this.
01:28We've been ready.
01:29Trust us. You've prepared us for this.
01:32Alright. I'm proud of you, boys. I love you.
01:36We love you.
01:37Number 9 – Duel of the Cranes – The Adventures of Tintin
01:42This animated adventure has some of the most inventive action you'll ever see. The final battle
01:47in particular is one of the film's best.
01:50Who? Captain, who did he see?
01:54He's gone?
01:57After tracking down the villainous Sakharin, Tintin and Captain Haddock fight him for Clues
02:01to the Unicorn, a ship that contains untold treasure. What follows is a glorious set piece
02:07involving two massive cranes. It's essentially a classic sword fight dialed to 11, with destruction
02:13that would make Michael Bay jealous.
02:20Amid the chaos, there's also some hilarious sight gags straight out of the Indiana Jones
02:30films, which is no surprise given Steven Spielberg's direction.
02:34The fight even culminates in an old school duel, finally putting a cap on Haddock's issues
02:48with drinking.
02:49Number 8 – The Clash of the World's Finals – The Dark Knight Returns
02:54The battle between the world's most iconic superheroes was straight out of our dreams.
03:10With mechanized armor and dozens of gadgets, Batman takes on Superman in the fight of the
03:15century. They trade blows that cause shockwaves, and at one point, Bruce uses a wrecking ball
03:21steamrollers as weapons.
03:34By the end, The Dark Knight comes out on top with help from Oliver Queen, proving that prep
03:38time is his greatest weapon. This has just about everything you could want from a fight
03:43between the two, including an epic Batman victory speech.
03:46You say you answer to some sort of authority. They only want me dead because I'm an embarrassment.
03:51Because I do what they can't. What kind of authority is that?
03:56Number 7 – Puss Chooses This Life – Puss in Boots – The Last Wish
04:01Ha! I am Puss in Boots. I am no one's lap cat.
04:07While the Shrek films aren't known for their action, this spin-off raised the bar tremendously high.
04:13Cornered by Death himself, Puss finally learns the value of life and gives up his chance at immortality.
04:20He duels the wolf in a ring of fire in one of DreamWorks' most stunning sequences yet.
04:25You will find your reward does not come easily. This I tell you.
04:30Everyone thinks you'll be the one to defeat me.
04:34The swordplay is fast and intense, and the animation bursts with vivid colors.
04:39Death is also hands down one of the coolest villains in the franchise, being charming and intimidating.
04:44His sickle weapons are as terrifying as they are awesome.
04:47Fortunately, the titular hero finds the strength to cheat Death one more time.
04:52Number 6 – Battle for Cybertron – Transformers 1 – When the bot D16, now Megatron, begins his quest to control Cybertron, Orion Pax emerges from its core to become Optimus Prime.
05:11The two clash over the fate of the planet in one of the most creative Transformers fights yet.
05:24They use their vehicle forms to their advantage with Megatron even firing a tank gun on his back.
05:30This scene also has the first use of Prime's iconic Energon Axe in a perfect fanservice moment.
05:37D16, we can lead Cybertron together. Don't do this!
05:43In the end, he not only beats Megatron, but takes down Soundwave, Shockwave, and Starscream in a glorious wonder.
05:58The fight also gets points for ending on an emotional note as Prime spares Megatron, marking the end of their friendship and the beginning of a long-standing rivalry.
06:08Number 5 – Collider Fight – Spider- Into the Spider-Verse
06:20Got it. Step 1 – I infiltrate the lab.
06:222 – Find the head scientist computer.
06:24That lady with the bike is the head scientist. I saw her in this documentary at school.
06:28Cool. Step 3 – I re-examine my personal bodices.
06:30The 2018 film is full of fantastic action, and the final battle is no different.
06:36When the Spider-Gang encounters a team of villains in Fist Tower, they're quickly overwhelmed.
06:41That's when Miles makes his grand entrance in his new suit and saves his friends.
06:46Spider-Man?
06:47Wow, Miles! You're doing it on command!
06:50It's about time, right?
06:51Miles isn't the only one who gets a hero moment.
06:54Spider-Man Noir delivers satisfying haymakers on Tombstone, and Spider-Ham shows just how powerful animation can be.
07:01Of course, the battle ends with Miles coming into his own and landing the final blow on Kingpin.
07:07Do we even need to mention just how spectacular the animation is?
07:11Hey, Kingpin! Push the green button for me!
07:16Number 4 – Saving Metroville – The Incredibles
07:20Do something! Don't you stand there! I need you to intervene!
07:25You want me to intervene? Okay, okay!
07:27This showdown is Pixar's perfect throwback to classic superhero stories.
07:32Not only do we get a giant rampaging robot, we get to see a family come together to save a city.
07:39The action is fast-paced and ever-changing, balanced perfectly with heartwarming moments.
07:44There's also an extra layer of urgency as the heroes race to grab the robot's remote control.
07:49We need to get back to the mainland.
07:51I saw an aircraft hangar on my way in. Straight ahead, I think.
07:54It's like a game of football, but with superpowers.
07:56There's even enough room for family friend Frozone to get in on the fun.
08:01In short, this finale is incredible.
08:03Frozone! Yeah!
08:05Number 3 – Challenging the Alpha – How to Train Your Dragon 2
08:15Looks like we found another one, bud.
08:24The Red Death Dragon from the first film was already a huge threat to our hero.
08:29To up the stakes, the sequel introduced Drago Bloodbust,
08:32a mad warlord and his bewildered beast,
08:35an alpha that can control his army of dragons.
08:37Their brainwashing of Toothless made them feel especially scary,
08:41setting the stage for an emotional climax.
08:43Hiccup first breaks Toothless free through their unbreakable friendship.
08:56Then Toothless gets a huge power-up and takes on the massive alpha.
08:59The Night Fury proves to be so powerful
09:02that he's able to rally an entire army of dragons to his side.
09:05When it comes to animated battles,
09:07you can't beat the scale of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
09:11Fight!
09:18Number 2 – Fight for the Dragon Scroll – Kung Fu Panda
09:21Kung Fu Panda
09:29This movie is known for mixing humor with well choreographed action.
09:33Its finale is the perfect example of that.
09:35After Master Shifu's brutal beating, the Dragon Warrior Po faces the world Tai Long.
09:40Though it doesn't go the way the villain expects.
09:43Poe can keep the snow leopard at bay through several hilarious hygiene.
09:46Can we run now?
09:47Yes!
09:48A tumble down some stairs, frying pans, bamboo stilts, and fireworks are enough to throw him off balance.
10:00Eventually, Poe grows confident enough in his new Kung Fu skills and takes down Tai Long in some satisfying combat.

10:29Number 1 – Battle for Pride Rock – The Lion King
10:46Not all fights need complex choreography to grab our attention.
10:49They just need to have our emotional investment.
10:52After years of believing he caused his father's death, Simba finally learns that his uncle Scar was the culprit.
10:58The ensuing battle between the hyenas and lions is intense and fun.
11:02With Timon and Poomba adding the humor.
11:05It's just me, pardon me, coming through hot stuff!
11:08The real highlight is Simba and Scar's showdown.
11:14Surrounded by flames at Pride Rock's peak, the two lions claw and slash at each other for the fate of the kingdom.
11:20Thankfully, Simba wins in the end, as we've never rooted for a villain's defeat more than we did here.
