Awesome Moment Of Crowning / Animated Film

• At the end of Barbie & The Diamond Castle, Liana and Alexa are crowned "Princesses of Music" for defeating the villain and restoring the muses to their rightful place. Not only that, their dogs get crowned too.
• The ending of The Lion King, when the Rightful King Returns. There's no actual crown, but he does ascend his father's throne.
• In Anastasia, Anya receives her crowning moment from her grandmother despite running off with her Love Interest and no longer having a country to rule.
• Atlantis: The Lost Empire: most princesses from animated Disney movies normally do not become queens, but Kida is crowned in place of her father, thus making her the first to do so.
• In Frozen, the crowning of Queen Elsa is a major part of the first act. The Awesome Moment part is dampened, however, when it's clear she's absolutely terrified of accidentally revealing her powers to the crowd.
• Played straight in Frozen II with Elsa's sister Anna, after Elsa decides to Abdicate the Throne and go to live in the Enchanted Forest, giving the crown to her sister instead.
• In The Powerpuff Girls Movie, after injecting himself with a large amount of chemical X, and turning himself into a giant monstrous ape, Mojo Jojo then proceeds to rip off the dome of Townsville City Hall and places it on his brain as both a replacement for his brain cap and a crown.
  Mojo Jojo: Now as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I, Mojo Jojo, have succeeded in my first, greatest, and most brilliant plan ever. And I, Mojo Jojo, SHALL BE KING!!!
• At the end of The Sword in the Stone, Wart is crowned King of England. It's not that awesome, though, because the crown is far too big for his head and being a young boy, he is pretty much lost in his new position. Fortunately, Merlin comes back from his time-travel-trip to Bermuda and gives him some advice.
• At the conclusion of Wreck-It Ralph, outcast Vanellope Von Schweetz finally crosses the finish line in her car, which resets the game and places her as she was intended—princess of Sugar Rush. She then subverts it, choosing her regular clothes and the (self-appointed) role as president.
• How to Train Your Dragon 2:
  • Hiccup becomes Chief of Berk following the death of his father. He kneels before the village Elder, and she draws the Chief's symbol on his forehead. As he rises, Gobber cries out: "The Chief has come home!" and the villagers all chant "Long live the Chief!"
  • Additionally, Toothless becomes the Alpha of the dragons after challenging and defeating Drago's enormous Bewilderbeast, basically, bitchslapping the Godzilla-sized monster with his plasma blasts. The other dragons (and Vikings) bow down to him, including Valka's dragon Cloudjumper, who has until then considered Toothless a child (Toothless is a child compared to Cloudjumper, age-wise).
• The four Pevensie siblings at the end of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1979). Aslan crowns the children before the population of talking animals, and Lucy jumps for joy, appreciating their approval.
• A Bug's Life ends with the queen crowning her elder daughter Princess Atta the new queen. Atta then gives her princess crown to her younger sister Dot.
• Up: Tweaked examples.
  • Dug defeats Alpha, and the rest of the Muntz dogs immediately treat him as the new Alpha. To his astonishment. Inverted, in a sense: Alpha is the one who is "crowned", with the Cone of Shame.
  • During Russell's ceremony for the badge pinning, Carl pins on "The Ellie Badge", the first keepsake he ever got from Ellie, in lieu of the "Assisting The Elderly Badge".
