A visual effect where a shot is ended by having the camera zoom into a character's wide open mouth, usually while the character in question is screaming or singing. Usually done in animation, since, among other things, it's likely to be a [[Gross Up Close-Up]] in live action. Frequently done during songs.

* In a French commercial for the first ''[[Rayman]]'' game, the camera zooms into Rayman's mouth, and then it cuts to gameplay footage.
* Happens in ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach]]'' during one of the Security Office segments. {{spoiler|Gregory hacks into one of the S.T.A.F.F bots while Glamrock Chica is trying to break into the office, using the robot to make a pizza for luring Chica away. This entire segment takes place from its POV - once it's finished, the player is treated to a neat little scene of Chica standing near the robot in a zombie-like gait, then suddenly rushing the robot, screaming "PIZZA?!", and lunging towards the camera with her beak wide open.}}

* Done with a cheerfully singing [[Zero Wing|CATS the cyborg]] in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE6emvdmg-M Zero Wing Rhapsody] Flash (at 3:05).

* "[[The Skeleton Dance]]" has the first skeleton jump towards the camera, which goes through its mouth and out the ribcage.
* The scene in ''[[The Thief and the Cobbler]]'' where King Nod despairs about the magic balls being stolen ends with a closeup of his mouth, then goes into an [[Astronomic Zoom]] out.
* Done literally in an episode of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8VIAVkj6Do Ed swallows the video camera] that Double D and Eddy were using to film their movie.
* Done in some episodes of ''[[Metalocalypse]]''. For example, in the first episode, when Nathan yells "WHAAAAAAAA?" after Toki tells him that they left the food back at the grocery store, the camera zooms into his mouth and down his esophagus, then transitions to the next scene.
* Parodied ([[Affectionate Parody|of course]])in the ''[[Animaniacs]]'' episode "King Yakko". Before the first commercial break, the villain of the episode does an [[Evil Laugh]] and the camera zooms into his mouth. Cue the villain yelling, in a muffled voice, "Get that camera out of my mouth!"
