The film ends and the credits start to roll. What do you do? Well, most people are quick to leave the cinema, eager to regain feeling in their butts, relieve their bladders and begin the long journey home. Depending on the movie though, some viewers choose to stay behind and wait until after the credits have finished, all in the hope that the filmmakers might have added an extra scene or two at the end. Pixar and Marvel Studios are particularly renowned for this, and while the wait may be long, it's a great way of encouraging audiences to stay in their chairs and see the names of all the talent involved in the filmmaking process.
