* The animated movie ''Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas''. "Pay up, it's flat."

* The Terry Gilliam short film ''The Crimson Permanent Assurance'', released alongside ''Monty Python's Meaning Of Life'', is set on a flat world. It also has [[Rule of Cool|elderly]] [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome|accountant]] [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|pirates]] who {{spoiler|defeat London's Financial District in glorious battle}}. Really, [[It Makes Sense in Context|by the time it comes, nothing could make more sense]].

* Some of the characters in ''[[The Gods Must Be Crazy]]'' ''think'' they are living on a flat world, and undertake a quest to throw an object off the edge of it to get rid of it. Since it's earth, viewers might be inclined to smile knowingly at this, but... {{spoiler|they succeed.}}

* In ''Eric the Viking'', the characters {{spoiler|sail off the edge of the world and land in Valhalla}}.

== Video Games ==

* ''[[Grandia (Video Game)|Grandia]]'' had an interesting variation. The world was formerly believed to be round, as revealed if you examine a globe in the [[Big ~~Boos~~ Haunt|obligatory ghost ship]]; however, shortly before the game begins, the end of the world is found, and thus the world is believed to be flat. {{spoiler|However, you eventually find out that there is no end of the world, and it is presumably round, and that you have to scale the wall at the world's end.}}

* In the ''[[Might and Magic]]'' series of games, one world, Xeen, is flat. One quest involves uniting the two halves. The player cannot fall off the edge, but can teleport to the nothingness and promptly die.

* The planet Albia in the ''[[Creatures]]'' games is a disc-shaped world- but life only occurs on the outer edge, so essentially this combines a disc-shaped and a ring-shaped world. (It doesn't encircle its sun like the other ring-worlds on this page.) The discovery by the [[Neglectful Precursors|Shee]] that most planets are round is a plot point.
