What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets

I always like endings that feel warm, hopeful, or wrapped up in the moment, but the second I start thinking about what probably happens next, the whole thing feels way more unsettling.

Not a twist ending. More like a happy ending that falls apart once you sit with it for a minute.

My own pick is WALL E.

It ends in such a hopeful way, but when you really think about what rebuilding life on Earth would actually look like for people who have forgotten how to live on it, it gets a lot heavier fast. That is the kind of ending I mean. It feels happy in the moment, then darker the longer it sits with you.

What movie does that best for you, and why?
