Tropes which are exclusive to Animation as a medium, due to the unique freedom inherent in all [[Graphical Tropes]] combined with the ability to portray action. Thanks to the rise of CGI, animation can occur within and sometime barely distinguishable from live action, allowing a medium within a medium.
