A Compilation Movie is created by editing together episodes of a television series to create a movie-length installment. Although this usually applies to home video releases, it can happen with broadcasts as well. How seamless the resulting movie is depends on how good the editor was, and what materials they had to work with (sometimes the opening credits or To Be Continued caption will be left in as the editor only had the complete version of each episode, or the end credits may only refer to the people who worked on the last episode). While the bulk of each episode is usually kept intact, some minor editing is usually made for time, continuity, or to make the new edit more seamless.

Back before home video recorders became widespread these would sometimes be released to cinemas as feature films. As home videos became more common, these were increasingly released as direct-to-video 'movies'. Often the plots of the two episodes thus used had absolutely no relation to each other (save the involvement of The Hero, natch); this was sometimes patched over with dubbed-in dialog attempting to link the two adventures. With the modern trend of releasing full seasons of series on DVD, this form of Compilation Movie seems to be dying out. A Compilation Movie can also be used in serialized TV to combine all the episodes of a serial into a single "movie", if the serial was very long then the resulting Compilation Movie may be essentially a feature length Clip Show. In the mecha anime genre, these movies are pretty much still par for the course. In the case of Soap Operas that are aired several times a week, a compilation at the end of the week may be the only repeat. This is preferable to a a back-to-back showing as it avoids viewers leaving after only the first episode, and in theory allows more advertisements where the credits used to be. While the pacing of these movies are often quite suspect, especially in a series where there was originally a cliffhanger, new scenes are sometimes added to justify their release. This is sometimes inverted by editing an extended episode or Direct to Video movie into several episodes for for Syndication, leaving a several odd cliffhangers if this wasn't intended during production. Compare Five Episode Pilot and especially Patchwork Story. Examples:
