{{trope}}

 

{{quote|''"Whoa, where are we? I suddenly feel so... easy to animate."''|'''Strong Bad''' gets left in the dark, ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail197.html "your edge"].}}

Not to be confused with [[See the Whites of Their Eyes]], which is a figurative expression for getting close to your enemy. Nor [[Eye Lights Out]], which is a death trope.

 

 

== [[Film]] ==

* Although common enough in Disney short cartoons, this trope is rarely used in the [[Disney Animated Canon|feature films]], perhaps because they generally try for a more realistic tone. A few exceptions:

** ''Treasure Planet'', when B.E.N. accidentally cuts off the power on the ship. ([[Justified Trope|justified]] in that his eyes are actually light displays.)

** ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' (1951). When Alice is looking at the Tulgey Wood sign, a number of eyes appear in the dark above it. One pair is revealed to be a "glasses bird", which hops onto Alice's head. See it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-x_5RsdGEE here], around the first 30 seconds or so.
