* [[Justified]] in ''[[The Incredibles]]'': Frozone uses whatever moisture is in the air, as well as his own body moisture, to make ice. Therefore, his powers are much weaker when most of the moisture in the air has already evaporated.
{{quote| '''Lucius:''' I can't lay down a layer thick enough! It's evaporating too fast!<br />
'''Bob:''' What's that supposed to mean?<br />
'''Lucius:''' It's ''hot''! And I'm ''dehydrated'', Bob!<br />
'''Bob:''' You can't be out of ice! Don't you just use the moisture in the air?<br />
'''Lucius:''' There IS no moisture in this air! }}

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''
** The Gorons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' get this during the unnaturally long winter.
** In ''Majora's Mask'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[Twilight Princess]]'', this is what happens to your character whenever you are hit by an Ice Keese, or are blown on by a Freezard or a Mini Freezard. Those Keese are covered in nothing but blue, icy fire; and, if they hit you, you're suddenly encased in a huge block of ice.
* Happens to anyone hit by a Freezy in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]].'' or some of the Ice Climbers' attacks.
* Similar to Dick Dastardly's above depiction, this happens to anyone who falls into icy water in ''[[Mario Kart]]''.
* In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the ice balls thrown by characters with an Ice Flower [[Power-Up]] do this.
* Happens in the [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]] in ''[[Homestar Runner|Stinkoman 20X6]]'' if you stand still too long.
* Use in ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]'', with the Ancient [[Magick]] ice spells.
* [[Kirby]]'s various ice-related abilities tend to do this.
* Ice Man's Ice Slasher ability can do this to enemies in ''[[Mega Man Powered Up]]''. When Ice Man himself uses it, enemies are actually frozen into perfect cubes.

* Seen [http://www.chimchum.com/search?updated-max=2010-11-25T01%3A01%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=1&reverse-paginate=true here]{{Dead link}} in ''Chim Chum and the Portly Samurai''.

** The classic comic-relief-encased-in-a-square-block-of-ice happens to Sadlygrove (and Rubilax) in episode 17 after falling in a frozen lake. Adamaï melts the ice with his fire breath.
* In an episode of ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'', a ''snowman'' falls into arctic water and emerges encased in a block of ice.
* Invoked in the [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Rupert]]'' -- the—the episode's villain had a [[Magic Wand]] with [[An Ice Person|ice powers]], so dropping him in the stream while he was holding it magically produced this effect.
* In the ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' short "Mice Capades", Jerry and Nibbles turn the kitchen into an ice rink by flooding it and rewiring the refridgerator to freeze everything.
* Happens to [[Donald Duck]] at the end of ''Donald's Snow Fight''.
* At the end of the ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' short "Hawaiian Vacation", Barbie and Ken go out in the snow and fall in. After the credits we see them in a block of ice.
 
 
== Real Life ==
* May have to do with the [[Real Life]] phenomenon where, as air cools, it loses the capacity to hold its water. Cool it quickly enough to below water's freezing point, and you get a rime of ice on whatever is doing the cooling. Obviously, it is taken to the extreme in this trope -- possiblytrope—possibly for [[Rule of Funny]] reasons.
