==Examples of Type I:==
 
=== [[Film]] ===
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]''
* ''[[Looney Tunes: Back in Action]]''
* ''The [[Rocky and Bullwinkle]] Movie''
* ''[[Bonkers]]'' was a cartoon, but some people in the cartoon were people and some were toons. It was originally a vehicle for Roger Rabbit but ended up being an Expy named Bonkers. An unusual example of an animated Type I.
* ''[[Last Action Hero]]''. In Jack Slater's movie world, cartoons mix with human beings in the police station.
 
=== [[Live-Action TV]] ===
* Played for laughs in ''[[Community]]'', when Abed manages to convince Troy he's found a doorway to one of these outside Greendale Community College by painting an animated version of himself on a wall:
{{quote|'''Troy:''' That's impossible!
Line 21 ⟶ 24:
'''Troy:''' ''[Clearly heartbroken]'' I didn't!... I didn't... ''[He storms off]''
'''Abed:''' I may have done some damage there. }}
 
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
* ''[[Bonkers]]'' was a cartoon, but some people in the cartoon were people and some were toons. It was originally a vehicle for Roger Rabbit but ended up being an Expy named Bonkers. An unusual example of an animated Type I.
 
 
== Examples of Type II ==
 
=== [[Comic Books]] ===
* ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' took place on an alternate earth (Earth-C), which [[Superman]] crossed over into once. They have their own alternate too, Earth C-Minus, where the events that Rodney Rabbit writes in comic books take place for real.
* ''[[Howard the Duck (comics)|Howard the Duck]]'' comes from a Type II.
 
=== [[Film]] ===
* ''[[Cool World]]'': an alternate universe exists, populated by toons (or Doodles as they were called; the humans were called Noids).
* The ''[[Fringe]]'' episode "Brown Betty" MIGHT have featured such an alternate universe, as seen when story-world Nina Sharp communicates with story-world William Bell using the window device (though this may have been a choice to go for a retro-aesthetic).
* ''[[Space Jam]]''
* ''[[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]'' took place on an alternate earth (Earth-C), which [[Superman]] crossed over into once. They have their own alternate too, Earth C-Minus, where the events that Rodney Rabbit writes in comic books take place for real.
* ''[[Enchanted]]''
* ''[[Toonstruck]]'' (an old quest video game) has this as its basic premise, with the protagonist, a cartoon animator, ending up in his toon world.
* ''[[Howard the Duck (comics)|Howard the Duck]]'' comes from a Type II.
* The film version of ''[[The Phantom Tollbooth]]''.
* ''[[Rock-a-Doodle]]''
* [[Garfield|''Garfield Gets Real'']], where both the "real world" and Garfield's world are CG animated.
 
=== [[Live-Action TV]] ===
* The ''[[Fringe]]'' episode "Brown Betty" MIGHT have featured such an alternate universe, as seen when story-world Nina Sharp communicates with story-world William Bell using the window device (though this may have been a choice to go for a retro-aesthetic).
