* In [[Anastasia]], Rasputin's body turns to dust and blows away as soon as his [[Soul Jar]] is destroyed.
* The Rankin/Bass version of ''[[The Hobbit (animation)|The Hobbit]]'' features giant spiders that gave a scratchy yelp and spun away into oblivion when slain.

* In ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'', Maleficent [[Scaled Up|becomes a dragon]], [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice|gets impaled by a sword]], [[Disney Villain Death|and falls down a cliff.]] When the sword's shown again, it has only a cloak under it.

* The probable first appearance of this in film (and the definite first appearance of the [[Stop Trick]] that enabled it) was in ''[[A Trip to the Moon]]''. It reappears in a lot of other films by Georges Méliès.
* In a new movie called ''The Darkest Hour'', the main "aliens" can shred a human body into dust in a slightly disturbing manner.
* At the end of ''[[The Rock (film)|The Rock]]'', Sean Connery's character, an alcatraz inmate, runs off and asks Cage's character to tell the authorities that he was killed. Nicholas Cage's character does so, and when asked about the body, says that this occurred to him as a result of the bioweapon [[MacGuffin]].
* Half the universe's living creatures vanished into ash after Thanos' snap at the end of ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]''.
