* Late '80s/early '90s Disney cartoons like ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', ''[[Tale Spin]]'', ''[[Goof Troop]]'', and ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' invoke this to varying extents, usually with episode-specific themes (i.e. 50's style mobs, swashbuckling pirates, and historical-period towns all appearing in early 90's Earth).
** With ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', at least, it was justified, since the Carl Barks comics on which the show was largely based had been produced in the mid-20th century. (And remember, Scrooge McDuck had been a gold prospector in the Klondike in the 1890s!)
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]'' take place in the city of Retroville, which follows the trope.
* Several ''[[Rankin/Bass Productions]]" Christmas specials invoke this. [[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]] is shown to take place in the 1960s, [[Rudolphs Shiny New Year]] is shown to take place after 1965, but [[Rudolph And Frostys Christmas In July]] seems to take place at the turn of the century judging by clothing and the dialogue.
