* ''[[Wedding Peach]]'': Played with. Momoko knits a muffler as a present to Yanagiba and [[Imagine Spot]]s them wearing it together. In the next frame a thread leads offscreen, and reveals that Yosuke somehow invaded the [[Imagine Spot]] and is also wearing it, [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|much to her displeasure]]
* In ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]],'' Madoka giving her red hair ribbons to {{spoiler|Homura}} before {{spoiler|being [[Ret-Gone|Ret Gonned]]}} can be considered a reference to this trope. After {{spoiler|Madoka's disappearance,}} her hair ribbons are {{spoiler|[[Tragic Keepsake|the only thing Homura has left of her]] and the only trace that she ever existed.}}

* In ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]'', in what may or may not be an intentional usage: when Mrs. Brisby first meets Jeremy, he is tangled in red string which he is retrieving to build a "love nest" for his future Ms. Right
** The end of the film has Jeremy and his love interest flying and holding the two ends of the string
* In ''[[Om Shanti Om]]'', Omi has his mother tie a red thread bracelet to his wrist before going to a premiere, which then gets accidentally caught on the sari ornaments of Shantipriya, Omi's idol and crush. This first encounter ties them into tragedy {{spoiler|as, while they become close friends, she cannot return his romantic feelings because she is in a relationship with another man. Her lover then betrays and kills her, and Omi's attempts to rescue her only lead to his demise}}.
