* In one episode of ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', Garfield finds Odie after searching a haunted house for him, and asks if he wants to play a game called "instant door". You guessed it -- they charge through a wall, leaving their outlines behind.

* In one episode of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', Blitzwing and Lugnut crash to Earth in the middle of a military aircraft field. Blitzwing's falling velocity is apparently so great, he leaves an impression shaped like himself -- wings, gun turrets, and all -- in the field's concrete runway upon crashing. This may be reasonable, in that he and Lugnut, like all Cybertronians, are constructed of alien metals and heavily armored, to boot, though Lugnut leaves no such impression where he lands.

* In ''[[Codename Kids Next Door]]'', "[[Beach Episode|Operation: B.E.A.C.H.]]", Numbuh Four goes through the wall of the castle during the fight against King Sandy and leaves his outline. It is a ''sandcastle'', though, making it a little more likely than usual.

* ''[[Kid VS Kat]]'' plays with this in the episode "Blasteroid Blues". Coop's jetpack goes out of control and he ends up crashing through the ceiling of a mall, leaving a hole shaped like his body, then when he starts plummeting back down after his parachute fails he notices the hole from before and hopes that he can fall through it instead of hitting the rest of the ceiling. He doesn't.
