Also see [[Age Cut]] and [[Stop Trick]]. See [[Twisted Echo Cut]] for when it's done with dialogue.

* [http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ01/DisplayOQ01.html?page=5 Ten thousand years of elfin evolution in two panels] from the very first issue of ''[[Elf Quest]]''.
* ''[[Watchmen]]'', although in a print-based medium, pulls it off. And keeps doing it. Notable examples include the memories of Rorschach (interlaced with the Rorschach blot) and Laurie (the reflection of her face in the snow globe is echoed). The Minutemen photo is also prone to this, but the various characters' memories of the Comedian are the best examples. Often overlaps with [[Two Scenes, One Dialogue]].
** Laurie's reflection in the snowglobe has another purpose: {{spoiler|It highlights her eyes, which are the same as The Comedian's.}}
* ''[[The Killing Joke]]'' also pulls this off: the flashback sequences that depict the Joker's origin story have a tendency of cutting into the current situation with one of these. It's really effective in creating a sequential atmosphere. Just call it an [[Alan Moore]] thing.

* The most recognizable [[Match Cut]] might be from the opening of ''[[Two Thousand and One A Space Odyssey]]''. A bone tossed into the air by a primitive hominid is matched with a satellite in orbit over 21st century Earth. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML1OZCHixR0#t=6m50s Here].
** Parodied in ''[[Startopia]]'', where the bone and the satellite are replaced by a...donut and a donut-shaped space station. Where does a hominid get a donut, you ask me? Why, from a massive, black, featureless, monolithic [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|donut dispenser]]. Duh.
** Parodied in ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'', where the satellite changes right back into a bone and hits the caveman on the head.
* Another well-known one is the [[Logo Joke|dissolve from the Paramount logo to the mountain]] in all of the ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'' movies.
Line 57:
* ''[[Shrek]]'' has a number of match dissolves combined with a moving POV, which are obviously easier to achieve in CGI than in live action.
* In the transition between the songs "Heaven's Light" and "Hellfire" in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', a bell clapper dissolves into a swinging incensor.
* Done a couple of times in ''[[The EmperorsEmperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]''.
* In ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'', Goofy suffers a [[Heroic BSOD]] and has him lying on the water bead with a depressed look on his face. It then dissolves to him driving the next day with that same depressed look.
* Towards the start of ''[[Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'', Milo answers his invitation to the expedition by grinning ear to ear and saying, "I am so excited, I- I- I can't even hold it in." Cut to him lurching over the ship's railing tossing his cookies.
