[[Take My Hand]] meets [[The Power of Friendship]].
Line 12:
* In ''[[Saint Beast|Seijuu Kourin Hen]]'' after a bunch of characters are sucked into hell and the rest jump in after them to save them, they try to form a <s>human</s> angelic chain. Slight variant in that a few are holding hands but most are holding onto the whip of the bottom-most guy while the winged character tries to fly back to the surface hauling 8 people this way. [[Rule of Cool]], I think.
* ''[[Naruto]]''. The title character will occasionally do this [[Me's a Crowd|all by himself]].
* Seen in ''[[Planetes]]'' -- Hachimachi—Hachimachi sees Ai's hand reach out to him when he falls, but he sees her connected to a vast chain of almost every character in the series as well.
* Occurs in the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' short ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'' as a chain of Pokémon.
** And in two other episodes, there's a long chain of Pikachu ("Pikachu's Goodbye") and Pichu ("The Apple Corp").

* ''[[Superdickery.com]]'' has one of these as its [https://web.archive.org/web/20120503095433/http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1184 Confounding Covers # 96]. [[media:Chain_of_people_2985Chain of people 2985.jpg|Here it is on our Wiki]].
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 59:
** In the episode, "Splishing and Splashing", Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig do this as a [[Tarzan]] impersanation to rescue Spot from an alligator.
** In the episode, "Animal House Party", all four of the main pups do this while hanging from a ceiling fan so they can brush Persian Pete.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', in the episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E19 A Dog and Pony Show|A Dog and Pony Show]]", Spike lowers a jewel given to him by Rarity on a fishing pole into a hole to try and catch one of the Diamond Dogs so they can rescue her. When the bait is taken, Spike gets pulled into the hole--Applejackhole—Applejack grabs his tail and gets pulled in, Twilight Sparkle follows, then Rainbow Dash, then Fluttershy, and finally Pinkie Pie, [[Comically Missing the Point|who didn't even try to pull and thought it was fun]]. All of them hang on to each other as they were dragged down the tunnel.

* Happens frequently in the various ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' series-- oneseries—one instance had the gang forming a chain to rescue Scooby and a bunch of pups from a river.
 
== [[Real Life]] ==
* A mountain climbing team does this routinely-- naturallyroutinely—naturally, since one person will have a hard time catching a falling person of roughly his own weight.
* [[wikipedia:Baltic Way|The Baltic Way]], a peaceful political protest consisting of ''two million people'' forming a chain of ''over 600 kilometers'' across the Baltic states, to protest against the Russion occupation.
* In the Korean DMZ, whenever the South Korean troops manning the DMZ are opening a door that leads to the North Korean side, they routinely form this. More than one SK soldier or worker has been snatched and dragged across the border while doing so, requiring this precaution.
