* In ''[[The Iron Giant]]'', as Cracked so aptly postulated, what happens after the ''other'' members of his kind [[Earthshattering Kaboom|show up on Earth?]]
** Also, The Iron Giant only became [[I Am Not a Gun|benevolent]] due to having an accident that gave him amnesia. What happens if the ''nuke'' that exploded in his face ended up doing the opposite? Due to the fact he was self-repairing, he could have accidentally been restored back to his [[Kill'Em All|factory settings?]]
* Cataclysmic flooding in ''[[Despicable Me]]'' as Gru attracts the moon closer to the earth.<ref name="cracked5mass">''[[Cracked.com]]'''s "[http://www.cracked.com/blog/everyone-died-in-despicable-me-and-4-other-famous-cartoons/ 5 Mass Deaths You Never Noticed Happened In Cartoons]"</ref>
* The Once-ler in [[The Film of the Book|the film]] of ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'' has a musical number "How Bad Can I Be?" about not caring about the truffula forests that he's about to destroy. Unlike in the book, the Lorax doesn't even have a chance to relocate displaced wildlife. What makes this inferred is that an early version of the lyrics mentioned that "things" rather than "trees" would die.<ref name="cracked5mass" />

Line 418 ⟶ 420:
** Also, one episode involves an EVO who puts everything in the world to sleep, Holiday mentions they don't have much time before people start dropping dead from dehydration, but it never brings up people who were in the middle of doing potentially dangerous tasks such as driving (which is a bit jarring, considering the show doesn't shy away from the implications of civilian casualties).
* In one episode of ''[[Gargoyles]]'', Oberon puts almost everyone in Manhattan to sleep for several minutes, during which he also conjures a freezing rain storm. Yes, a couple of traffic accidents are shown when everyone falls asleep, but nobody calls him on it when he claims everyone will wake up just fine. Unless he put far more thought into his spell than it looked like (and judging by what he seems to think of the rights of anyone aside from [[The Fair Folk|his own kind]], he probably didn't), then it's likely that between traffic accidents, interrupting dangerous tasks, or simply falling from precarious places, thousands of people died. And everything is back to normal by the next episode, as though nobody outside Manhattan even noticed.
** In the "City of Stone" arc, Demona turns the TV-watching population of New York into stone one night, causing an estimated tens of thousands of auto accidents.<ref name="cracked5mass" />
* An obscured recurring theme in ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'' every time the [[Monster of the Week]] trashes the city. But not even [[Conveniently Empty Building]]s can overshadow the gianormously huge crater left at the very heart of the city (See image above). Unless anybody who worked in the area had called it a day, then infrastructure damage would be the least of their worries. The [[Unreliable Narrator|unreliable news channel]] said the collateral was no less than 14 billion dollars in damage along with some shaken populace. [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?|Casualties were not even mentioned]]...
** Not to mention, like in the ''[[Generator Rex]]'' episode mentioned above, the time where all of Human life on Earth was rendered unable to move for several days. Part of the initial problem was shown, where Octus walks down a street and passes a few crashed planes and helicopters.
* The ''[[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]'' episode "Koop-zilla" apparently takes place in a fictional Japanese city called Sayonara. [[Freak Lab Accident|Because of a lab experiment gone wrong]], [[Big Bad|Bowser]] actually transforms into the titular Koop-zilla and starts destroying the city, and as a result Mario also becomes a giant just so he can stop Bowser, causing the city to be destroyed even more. Also, a later episode called "Karate Koopa" also takes place in Sayonara, except that instead of a large, technologically-advanced metropolis, it's now a small Japanese fishing village, and Bowser is now a samurai. And by the way, Sayonara means "goodbye" in Japanese.
* The two first episodes of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' begin with Twilight Sparkle reading the story of the two princesses. The book merely says that the younger sister rebelled and threatened to bring eternal night, so the older sister banished her to the moon a thousand years ago. When Nightmare Moon returns, the ponies need to find the "Elements of Harmony" to defeat her. The last known location of the Elements is the castle of the Royal Pony Sisters - now a ruin - in middle of the Everfree Forest - where many strange creatures live, some of them [[Kaiju|gigantic]], and nature follows different rules than in the rest of Equestria...
* In the ''[[Young Justice]]'' episode "Misplaced", five supervillains split reality into two parts: one with only children and one with only adults. ''[[Cracked.com]]'''s "[http://www.cracked.com/blog/everyone-died-in-despicable-me-and-4-other-famous-cartoons/ 5 Mass Deaths You Never Noticed Happened In Cartoons]" calls the sudden disappearance of drivers, surgeons, parents holding their babies, etc. from the children's reality a thousand times as bad as the ''Gargoyles'' example.
