== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Many 1950's [[Superman]] stories had imaginary weddings to Lois. Often Lois would be stuck in a bubble,or in his Fortress of Solitude, or even on ''another planet entirely''. All to keep her safe from the mob of people who would surely use her as a hostage. (Never mind the mobs of people who were using her as a hostage anyway.)
== [[Film]] ==
* The film ''[[Bubble Boy (film)|Bubble Boy]]''... Yeah you can probably see where this is going. Lived in a plastic bubble with tubes around the house so he could get around. Eventually went on a cross country journey wearing a mobile bubble suit.
** To be fair, the kid didn't have an immune system and would, in fact, die if taken out of the bubble.
*** To be ''more'' fair, {{spoiler|his mom was lying to him; he wouldn't die, he had a perfect immune system by the time he's an adult, his mother just [[My Beloved Smother|can't stand to be separated from him]].}}

** Both, however, were justified in their concerns. The boy is far too young for Cox to let him play high up by himself, and Jordan was passing him around at the
* ''[[Yes, Dear]]'', to the point where one episode had [[An Aesop]] about it.
* A storyline from ''[[Sesame Street]]'' involved Telly breaking his arm after playing tag. Following his recovery he wraps himself up in pillows in order to protect himself, only to realize that this means he can't move and must remove it have fun. Cue the [[Aesop]].
