* Happens to Narancia in Part 5 of ''[[
* Happens in the ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' TV episode where Sakura is shrunk by the Little card.
* [[Idiot Hero|Hiroshi]] from ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]'' wakes up one day to find himself no larger than a mouse. Of course, the reality of the situation is [[Artificial Human|stranger]] [[Cloning Blues|still]].
Line 66:
** The Lily Tomlin vehicle ''The Incredible Shrinking Woman'' made her decreasing size, caused by exposure to too many household cleansers, food additives, and hygiene products, a parable about out-of-control consumerism.
* This was the basis for the plot of the live-action movie ''[[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]'', along with its sequel, ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves'' and the TV series that followed, also called ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''.
* In the [[Beatles]] movie ''[[Help!]]'', a character uses a special injection to shrink Ringo's finger in order to remove a sacrificial ring naming him an offering to a Hindi god, but misses and hits Paul in the leg, whereupon the scene cuts away to a card reading "The Exciting Adventures of Paul on the Floor".
* In ''[[Dot And Keeto]]'', Dot goes to eat the root that lets her talk to animals so she can apologize to some ants her brother was tormenting, but she accidentally eats the root next to it, which makes her shrink down to the size of a bug (and able to talk to them). After trying to get the attention of her brother and mother, she goes on an adventure among the bugs until her friend Kangaroo shrinks down, too, and brings her some of the root that will make her the proper size again.
* "Fantastic Voyage" in which a submersible is shrunk to microscopic size to be injected into a comatose spy to laser away the clots that are killing him. This has been pointed out, more than once, leads to a stupid conclusion where the people abandon the ship and swim to safety, being extracted from the tear ducts before they return to normal size automatically. No mention is ever made of the sub growing to normal size and exploding the patient.
