Line 21:
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', the Straw Hats' [[Power Walk]] to Arlong's base of operations.
** Luffy's escape from Impel Down (with many former villains) also classifies.
* In ''[[Twentieth20th Century Boys]]'', when the heroes, who're all just [[Action Survivor]]s, set off to {{spoiler|take down the [[Big Bad]] Friend's huge mech which is currently ripping Tokyo to pieces}}.
* In ''[[Onegai My Melody]]'', during the season finale, the ragtag bunch of youngsters join forces to defeat the Spirit of Dark Power. Even Kuromi the resident [[Anti-Villain]] joins, and they get a wardrobe makeover.
* In ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'', ''everyone'' gets this in {{spoiler|chapter 31}}. (You have to remember that this group consists of [[Blood Knight|Senji]], [[Psycho for Hire|Minatsuki]], [[Pyromaniac|Hitari]], and [[Villainous Crossdresser|Chaplin]]. The fact that they hadn't killed each other or got seriously side-tracked before they even got to Ganta is a tribute to [[Character Development]]).
Line 39:
== Film - Animated ==
* [[Pixar]] '''loves''' this trope:
** In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', it's when {{spoiler|Woody and Buzz work together to escape Syd's yard and chase the moving van.}}
*** Alternatively, {{spoiler|Woody rallying Syd's misfit toys to rebel and freak him out.}}
** In ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'', Flick's defiance of Hopper's beating emboldens the ant colony to fight off the grasshopper gang.
*** Which, incidentally, Hopper predicted would happen.
** In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 2'', it begins when {{spoiler|the toys hijack the Pizza Planet truck to chase Al and Woody.}}
** In ''[[Finding Nemo]]'', it's when {{spoiler|Marlin, Dory, and Nemo organize the school of grouper fish to escape the net.}}
** In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', it's when the Parrs band together against Syndrome's [[Mooks]] on the island base. Doubly impressive when you remember the kids have started being super-heroes just ''ten minutes ago.''
Line 55:
** The monsters of ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' have this when they infiltrate Gallaxhar's ship to rescue Susan {{spoiler|who then rescues them soon afterward}}.
** ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' has Hiccup and his classmates mount their dragons and swoop in {{spoiler|to [[Big Damn Heroes|save Stoick and Gobber from the Red Death.]] The [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] between Hiccup and his dad when they do should pretty much speak for itself.}}
{{quote|'''Hiccup:''' [[Ironic Echo|We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard.]]
'''Stoick:''' [["Well Done, Son" Guy|I am proud... to call you my son.]] }}
* Happens in ''[[Tangled]]'' when {{spoiler|Maximus the stallion recruits the Pub Thugs to bust out Flynn from prison.}}
Line 70:
* Happens in ''[[Rush Hour]]'' when Carter goes to the airport and convinces Lee to return to the kidnapping case.
* In ''[[Galaxy Quest]]'', this occurs when the actors of the [[Show Within a Show|show-within-a-show]] escape from Sarris' guards and then stop his effort to destroy the Thermians, even recruiting [[Ascended Fanboy|Brandon and his friends]] in the process.
* ''[[Dodgeball|Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story]]'': Patch's [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] sequence.
* Happens in ''[[Sky High]]'' when Will, Layla, Warren, and the sidekicks fight Royal Pain's invasion during Homecoming.
* ''The Fish That Saved Pittsburg''. Which is an astrology basketball movie, believe it or not
Line 94:
* In Robert Asprin's ''[[Phule's Company]]'', it's the first time the company beats the "confidence course" (read that "obstacle course").
* In ''[[Harry Potter|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', Kreacher leads the house-elves employed at Hogwarts into battle against the Death Eaters.
** There's an earlier one in Order of the Phoenix. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are already-mobilized misfits, but they're joined by Neville (who [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]); Ginny, who up to that point was nearly an extra and only Ron's little sister; and Luna, Hogwarts' own [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
** The whole final battle is this for the good-guys: Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army, teachers and staff of Hogwarts, Grawp-the-giant, thestrals and hippogriffs, centaurs, house-elves, and probably others.
* In ''[[X Wing Series|Wraith Squadron]]'', this happens to the Wraiths when Trigit's forces find Folor Base, and is cinched by how they get out of the trap in the Doldrums system.
