It is common in all forms of animation, as well as in [[Real Life]], for a character to tilt his head sideways in confusion. In anime this is often accompanied by a "...", while in western animation it is more often accompanied by a "...huh?". A raised eyebrow is common in every genre.
 
Common in [[Animal Reaction Shot|Animal Reaction Shots]]s, especially with dogs (although [[All Animals Are Dogs|animals who behave like dogs]] may do it too), accompanied by a Quizzical (or [[Even the Dog Is Ashamed|Disapproving]]) Whimper.
 
Related to [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]] and [[Fascinating Eyebrow]].

* ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]'': A "blink and you'll miss it" [[Shout-Out]] occurred when "Bloodbath" McGrath was lying on the ground and a dog came up and did the "His Master's Voice" bit while looking at McGrath's ear trumpet.
* ''[[Starman (film)|Starman]]'' had [[Jeff Bridges]] tilt his head quizzically for most of the movie -- butmovie—but that's because he was a non-human life form from outer space learning about the human experience as he went along, so everything was new and confusing to him.
* ''[[The Fifth Element]]'': Leeloo gives a tilt of her head to the Major before breaking out of her unbreakable container and taking from him the key to opening it.
* Detective Hoffman does this towards Strahm in the glass box in ''[[Saw|Saw V]]''
