Line 8:
** In another episode, Jigglypuff somehow gets stuck in a Blastoise’s cannon, and she sings while she’s in there causing the Blastoise to be asleep.
** In yet another episode, Lyra's Marill gets wedged between two buildings; it is freed with the help of Pikachu, Piplup, and a [[Making a Splash|Water Gun attack]].
** In ''Pikachu's Vacation'', Charizard getting his head stuck in a metal pipe is what eventually leads to Pikachu's group and the gang of bullies [[Fire -Forged Friends|becoming friends]].
* On an episode of ''[[Monster Rancher (Anime)|Monster Rancher]] '', Gollum gets stuck in a hole in the ground.
* In ''[[Hamtaro (Anime)|Hamtaro]]'', the character, Stucky, is this trope alone. He gets his name from the fact that he's always stuck in a piece of a hamster tunnel that he always rolls around in.
Line 25:
* In the second ''[[The Land Before Time|Land Before Time]]'' movie, Littlefoot gets his foot stuck in a tree trunk.
* This occurred in ''[[Fun and Fancy Free]]'' when Mickey, Donald and Goofy were first entering the giant’s castle. Mickey and Donald manage to squeeze under the door, but Goofy got stuck. Mickey and Donald pulled him inside, but Goofy lost his pants in the process.
* In ''[[A BugsBug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]'', Heimlich gets stuck while luring away the bird. The ants, looking at a safe distance, comment on how brave he is offering himself as live bait.
* In ''[[Ice Age]] The Meltdown'', Ellie gets stuck under a log because, having been [[Raised By Wolves|raised by possums]], she doesn't realize she's a mammoth and can simply lift the log out of the way.
** Throughout the ''[[Ice Age]]'' series, Scrat gets stuck in numerous places while trying to get that acorn.
Line 114:
* Similar to the above example, in a Christmas special of ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'', Thomas gets stuck in a snow drift.
* One episode of ''[[Dragon Tales]]'' was about Ord accidentally getting stuck in a Knucker Hole after eating too many Dragonberries. Max then tells him a story about a bear who got stuck in a hole because he ate too much honey before finally pulling him out of the Knucker Hole. Obviously, this is a [[Shout Out]] to [[Winnie the Pooh]].
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode, "May the Best Pet Win", Rainbow Dash winds up getting stuck because a boulder landed on her wing.
* In the ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' episode, "Knock Knock, Who's Ed?", while the Eds are sneaking through a vent, Ed had to push Edd and Eddy because they got stuck. Strangely, Ed didn't considering he's larger than the other two.
* There is a popular [[Fractured Fairy Tales]] about the Golden Goose. In this version, when someone touched the Golden Goose with his bare hands, he got stuck to it, and whoever touched him got his hands stuck to him. This resulted in a large chain of people with their hands stuck to each other's bodies.
