{{about|in-game movies accessible from a menu|more informal cutscenes|[[Cutscene]]}}
The '''Theater''' is a menu available in ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' titles, starting with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' which allows the player to re-watch cinematic cutscenes and other special videos from the game that they've unlocked. The menu itself is usually unlocked once a cutscene is watched in the main game for the first time.

Often times, special cutscenes that do not appear in the main game can also be viewed in the Theater, once certain requirements are met. The most prominent examples of this are the [[Kirby Master]] videos, which can only be unlocked once [[100% completion]] is met for the games they appear in.

The theater returns in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', this time represented by a building in [[Waddle Dee Town]] known as the '''Waddle Dee Cinema''', which requires the completion of the stage [[Downtown Grassland]] to be built.

Once done, [[Usher Waddle Dee]] will check him in and grant him access to the theater, which Kirby simply needs to enter and sit on the assigned seat at to begin watching the cutscene. He can continue selecting and watching one after the other without getting up out of his seat and making individual dialogue requests. Like previous games, cutscenes are unlocked by viewing them for the first time as the player progresses through the game.
