Line 19:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Shana]]-tan from the Shakugan no Shana omake.
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yugi Moto and Yami Yugi]] are among the most clear cases of big eyes when smaller.
** Yami/Atem used to remain the same size in the first manga, but then got a case of import and started getting a growth spurt like his anime counterpart after the transformation. Can be seen clearly in ''Yu-Gi-Oh R''.
* Name a [[Mon]] that's under a couple of feet high; good chance it'll be completely adorable. [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Shaymin]] gets bonus points for not only being one of the smallest of the 493 pocket monsters, but a ''Legendary'' as well. Screw the Sky Forme, cute hedgehog is '''cute'''.
** But you're forgetting Mew! And Jirachi, and Celebi, and Manaphy...
*** And Joltik! It's the smallest of all Mons, and is ridiculously cute to match.
Line 43:
** Also, after Maka {{spoiler|[[Defeat Means Friendship|befriends Crona rather than defeating him/her in combat]], Ragnarok shrinks down to fun size and becomes mostly comic relief}} (at least in the anime).
* The opening to ''[[Macross]]'' in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOLsKEXu02g chibi form].
* The [[Adventures of Mini -Goddess (Anime)|Adventures of Mini Goddess]] was designed specifically for and around this trope.
* in the (non-canon) Pilot Chapter of [[Bleach]], a side-effect of Rukia transferring her powers to Ichigo was being shrunk down to a small enough scale that she could [[Fetish Fuel|comfortably take a bath in Ichigo's coffee mug]].
* [[Played for Drama]] in chapter 40 of ''[[Franken Fran]]''. [[Cain and Abel|Veronica]] gets cut in half by Gavrill, and Fran has to make a a smaller version of her body with the very few parts that were still left. This is unfortunate for Veronica, but [[Air Vent Passageway|does come in handy later]].
* The laptop-model Persocoms in [[Chobits (Manga)|Chobits]]! Sumomo is smaller than your forearm but several times as cute as human-sized Chii.
* [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shinryaku_ika_musume/v02/c038.5/1.html Bite Size!] [[Shinryaku! Ika Musume|Mini Ika Musume]].
* Beta Mechazawa from [[Sakigake Cromartie Koukou|Cromartie High School]].
 
Line 63:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* While nearly all fairy species in ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'' are small at around a metre tall, pixies specifically are said to be cute, rather fragile, and look very much like human children.
 
== [[Toys]] ==
Line 90:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The entire premise of ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]'' is based upon this: Kirby gets split up by the [[Big Bad]] into ten parts, each with only a fraction of his full power.
* The ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series. To really hammer the point home, the entire opening movie of ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'' is this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' does this with Lil' Ragnaros, the Moonkin Hatchling, Lil' XT, and Lil KT; all vanity pets obtainable from the microtransaction shop.
Line 96:
** The quest giver (and later companion) [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=49956 Pebble], and [http://www.wowhead.com/npcs?filter=na=lizard;minle=1;maxle=1;cr=39;crs=4;crv=0 various lizard critters] (miniature versions of the hostile Warp Stalker beast).
* Metal Gear Mk II in ''[[Snatcher]]'' is terribly cute, despite having a design inspired by [[Metal Gear|nuke-launching superweapons]].
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' does this to [[Final Fantasy X 2|Yuna, Rikku, and Paine]] by turning them into ''[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/kingdomhearts/images/thumb/5/53/Final_Fantasy_Girl.jpg/600px-Final_Fantasy_Girl.jpg fairies.]''
* ''[[Okamiden (Video Game)Ōkamiden|Okamiden]]'''s Chibiterasu. Sure, [[Okami (Video Game)Ōkami|Amaterasu]] was already a [[Badass Adorable]], but just [http://kotaku.com/5351390/okamiden-kicks-cuteness-up-a-notch look at them]!
* ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' gives us the mini-sentries, which are basically the standard sentries at a smaller size and significantly less firepower, with a police siren duct taped on top of it. Of course, this is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by the Engineer himself, as he sometimes calls it a "cute little gun".
** Taken further with [[Dungeon Defenders]], if purchased from Steam you also get the Engineer/Pyro/Heavy/Medic as a pet.
* ''[[Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo]]'' has chibi versions of the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' and ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'' characters.
** A formula that was followed through in ''[[Pocket Fighter]]''.
* Suika Ibuki from ''[[Touhou Project]]'' is short and cute to begin with, but the numerous [[Fun Size]] duplicates of herself she can create to attack with are just adorable.
* The main trio from ''[[Disgaea]]'' get drawn this way in promotional artwork.
* The Mobile Suits/Armors of the ''[[SD Gundam G Generation]]'' series, which also doubles as [[Badass Adorable]].
* Ah those teeny tiny [[MegamanMega Man Legends|servbots]], doesn't matter that they can pilot machines that can drop highly explosive bombs, they are just so darn cute!
** And you can control one of them in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]''!
* ''Burnout'' Paradise's Toy Cars DLC. But here's the not fun part : Toys car retain [[Car Fu|same strength stat]] of it's original cars...
* The Minis in ''[[Mario VSvs. Donkey Kong]]'', as pictured above.
* The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series is fond of using little chibi versions of the characters as icons. In ''[[SonictheSonic the Hedgehog CD]]'', Sonic (and Tails in the digital remake) are shrunk down into chibi forms in Metallic Madness zone.
* The Downsize status ailment in the [[PSPlay Station 2]] remake of ''[[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Tales of Destiny]]'' does this to your characters by making them take on their tiny [[Super-Deformed]] sprites from the original version of the game.
** A mob of tiny, squeaky voiced Chelsea clones is also fought in the bonus dungeon.
 
Line 132:
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'' has [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fun]] with this. Played straight by the [[Do-Anything Robot|Dingbots]]. Inverted by the "Fun-Sized Mobile Agony and Death Dispensers" -- old Heterodynes did ''everything'' very... FUN sized (they probably heard about miniaturization, but thought it's about [[Shrink Ray]]).
* Discussed in [http://girlyyy.com/go/579 This] ''[[Girly]]'' strip.
* Zig-zagged in ''[[Two Kinds]]''. Bastins are more-or-less short versions of Keidrans, but they're really not that cute. At least, not while they're not trying to take your head off with a [[Blade Onon a Stick]].
* Snuggleninja, found [http://snuggleninja.blogspot.com/2012/02/short.html here] is so little. But that doesn't stop him from doing what he needs to do.
 
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Super HeroSuperhero Squad Show]]'', with the entire [[Marvel Universe]] (minus Spider-Man) chibified. Even the dread [[Cosmic Horror|Dormammu]] can be made cheek-pinchingly adorable (while apocalyptically powerful.)
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has [http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Deformed_Shorts Super Deformed Shorts]!
{{quote| '''Tiny!Katara''': ''Tiny Zuko! He looks so cute!''<br />
'''Tiny!Zuko''': (attempts to resume normal form) '''''I AM NEITHER CUTE NOR TINY!'''''<br />
'''Tiny!Iroh''': ''You are pretty cute, my tiny nephew.'' }}
* [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]] has the Krabby Kiddie Patty which is "thirty percent cuter" than a normal krabby patty.
* Chibi versions of the characters are used for gags in ''[[Totally Spies]]''. In one episode, Alex finds Clover adorable after she is shrunk to insect size.
