Crawl: Difference between revisions

 

Not to be confused with [[Dungeon Crawl]] or [[Dungeon Crawling]].

 

== Film ==

* ''[[Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs]]'' features this in every news report scene, the best being when the food raining is first announced, and a standard crawl of weather in various cities changes to "Whaaaat the heck is that cheeseburgers raining right now?! Sorry, back to the ticker."

 

== Live Action TV ==

* The Australian comedy series ''CNNNN'' featured a fake news crawl during every episode. One episode even had a news crawl that summarised the original news crawl, and one had a news crawl for the vision impaired which basically filled the entire screen (in other words, you only saw three or four letters of the crawl at a time). You can view every one of these crawls [http://www2b.abc.net.au/cnnnn/gbk/newsbar/default0210.shtm here], y'know, if you're bored.

* Used on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and its spinoffs, whenever footage from BBC News or the fictional AMNN news channels appear.

* [[Jib Jab]]'s video "What We Call the News" uses a crawl as subtitles.

* [[The Onion]] News Network, naturally, features joke headlines in its crawl.

== Western Animation ==

* ''[[Pixar Shorts|George & A.J.]]'', a short film by [[Pixar]] related to ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]'', has this during the news report, and it makes humorous references to the feature film, among other things.

** The news crawl actually appears at the beginning of the obligatory court scene as well, where Mentok tries to predict what it's going to say next before finally just shutting it off.

* The into to Karl's "Monkey News" segment on ''[[The Ricky Gervais Show]]'' features a monkey newscaster with a crawl reading "EEEP... SCREECH... OOOH..."
