History Main / ReunionShow

* The 1949 musical version of ''Literature/GentlemenPreferBlondes'' was brought back 25 years later as ''Lorelei: Gentlemen Still Prefer Blondes'', with original star Carol Channing playing an older, widowed Lorelei Lee.

* The cast of ''{{Film/Matilda}}'' reenacted the film's chocolate cake and pigtail scenes at a 2013 reunion party, which can be seen on the film's Blu-ray release that same year.

* Much of the principal cast of ''Manga/RaveMaster'' reprised their roles for the first time in 11 years in an OVA {{Crossover}} with creator Creatpr/HiroMashima's later work, ''Manga/FairyTail''. Mashima additionally treated the omake on which the OVA was based as a reunion for several characters in and of itself.

** The show's 20th anniversary, ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Super Megaforce]]'', brought back various veteran Rangers played by Jason David Frank, Sean Cw Johnson, Alison MacInnis, Jason Faunt, Danny Slavin, Patricia Ja Lee - plus most of the rangers of ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai''.

* ''{{Franchise/Digimon}}''

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' was a Reunion Game for the voice casts of several Disney classics through the last century; most of the original cast returned (including people such as Creator/JamesWoods as Hades, and Creator/BrianBlessed as Clayton as well as the original voice of Alice and Wendy a good 50 years after the initial films came out). Some of the cast of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' returned, as did most of ''{{WesternAnimation/Aladdin}}'' (save Creator/RobinWilliams, who was already recast since the TV series in the 90's), ''{{WesternAnimation/Hercules}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}}'' (save Samuel E. Wright), ''{{WesternAnimation/Tarzan}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' (save Creator/JerryOrbach who had since passed away). The most no-shows were ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' with only Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa and Cheech Marin as Banzai, and ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' where the entire cast was shooting the sequels and couldn't make it (although Creator/JohnnyDepp supposedly really wanted to do it). Geoffrey Rush did come back to voice Barbossa, but only in Australian copies.

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'' did teamups between the present and past seasons for a good 11 years in the Showa era shows, each one having a progressively larger cast. ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' had a DirectToVideo team-up between its heroes and predecessor ''Series/KamenRiderAgito'', even if Agito was a FakeShemp (the thing turned out to be AllJustADream anyways). ''Series/KamenRiderDenO & [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Kiva]]: Climax Deka'' is probably the most in the spirit of the trope, featuring the full casts of both shows. The ''Film/KamenRiderZX'' TV special brought together all of the previous Rider characters, and the first ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' movie does the same. In Decade, the original cast of a Rider show is replaced (handwaved by Decade being an AlternateUniverse traveler), but most of ''Den-O'' and ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki''[='=]s casts as well as key characters from ''Kiva'', plus those summoned by Narutaki and Kivara ([[Series/KamenRiderKabuto the Hoppers]], [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Kaixa]], and [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ohja]]) are reprisals.

* ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' and ''Series/TheBionicWoman'' had three reunion movies in the late '80s and early '90s; ''Return of the Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman'', ''Bionic Showdown'' (which included some "Next Generation" bionic operatives) and ''Bionic Ever After'', (in which Steve Austin and Jamie Sommers [[TheyDo finally got married]]).

** In a rare case of a specific team coming back entirely on their own, ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger'' had a "Ten Years Later" V-Cinema special in 2013. In 2015, ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' got the same treatment, while in 2018, ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger'' got one as well, in 2021 ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' also got one.

** In WebVideo/CriticalRoleCampaignThree, [[spoiler: older versions of Keyleth, Percy, Vex, Pike, and Trinket from Vox Machina all play key roles in "A Desperate Call" and "A Dark Balance", only now portrayed as NPCs by Matthew Mercer. Still, the cast views it as a reunion of sorts, even while playing entirely different characters]].

** "Exandria Unlimited: Kymal" reunited three of the five members of the Crowns Keepers from the first iteration of "Exandria Unlimited" (since Orym and Fearne were busy being characters in the main Bells Hell campaign).

** "The Search for Grog", "The Search for Bob", and "Dalen's Closet" were all one-shots that served as reunion specials for Vox Machina ([[spoiler: sans the deceased Vax in all but one case]]).

** In [[WebVideo/CriticalRoleCampaignThree]], [[spoiler: older versions of Keyleth, Percy, Vex, Pike, and Trinket from Vox Machina all play key roles in "A Desperate Call" and "A Dark Balance", only now portrayed as NPCs by Matthew Mercer. Still, the cast views it as a reunion of sorts, even while playing entirely different characters]].
** "The Mighty Nein Reunited" was a two-parter set six months after the end of Campaign 2 (but really taking place over two years later) that saw most of the Mighty Nein come back together [[spoiler: to tie up the dangling plot thread of Fjord and U'katoa's plot.]]

** ''Doctor Who: Lockdown!'' was a series of web video one-off minisodes made during the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic, some of which featured former series actors returning via ConsoleCameo to reprise their roles:
*** Most notable of these was "Farewell, Sarah Jane" which served as a reunion special for spinoff ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' after star Elisabeth Sladen's passing canceled it prematurely back in 2012. Main characters Luke, Clyde, and Rani returned all grown up, along with Jo Grant, Ace, and Rani's mother Gita.
*** "The Best of Days" reunited companions Bill Potts and Nardole from Series 10.
