Line 72:
* ''[[UHF (Film)|UHF]]'' features a dream sequence where [[Weird Al]] imagines a CG version of himself playing a psychedelic rock cover version of the theme from ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]''.
* In ''[[Nine to Five]]'', [[Lily Tomlin]], [[Jane Fonda]] and [[Dolly Parton]] get stoned and fantasize about killing their boss. All three fit the [[Art Shift]] trope, as the fantasies are filmed in distinctly different styles from the rest of the movie, but Lily Tomlin's features adorable animated wildlife surrounding her in the office kitchen as she poisons his coffee.
* In ''[[Waltz With Bashir]]'', the majority of the film is in two-tone, dreamlike animation until the protagonist remembers encountering a procession of women lamenting their slain husbands and children. At that point, the film switches to real footage of the aftermath of the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre:Sabra and Shatila massacre|Sabra and Shatila massacre]], making it all too real for both the protagonist and the audience.
* An unusual example in the French movie ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064146/ The Brain]'' (''Le Cerveau'', 1969). The eponymous Brain (played by David Niven) is exposing to his henchmen his plan for a future train heist... with the projection of a short animated film, [[Marty Stu|starring himself]]. The real heist go much less smoothly that the one shown in animation, of course.
* In the film of the musical for ''[[Reefer Madness (Film)|Reefer Madness]]'', there was an animated sequence where Jimmy sings about how special his brownie is.
Line 116:
** Likewise, "Rock the House" has several CG-animated characters, including Del the Ghost Rapper and the inflatable gorilla cheerleaders.
** "Feel Good Inc.", "Dare" and "Dirty Harry" add live-action to the mix (with guest stars [[De La Soul (Music)|De La Soul]], Shaun Ryder and Bootie Brown, respectively).
** Later clips have the characters more and more often in 3D, including for "live" performances. The MTV European Music Awards 2005 in Lisbon had the three-dimensional Gorillaz ''on stage'', thanks to an updated version of the old Victorian parlour trick named "[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppers_Ghost:Peppers Ghost|Pepper's Ghost]]". Repeated for the Grammy Awards 2006 in Los Angeles, this time alongside [[Madonna]] as guest-star.
** In the latest phase, the clip for "Stylo" is almost entirely live-action with just three of the Gorillaz in quasi-realistic 3D {{spoiler|(and [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] as the antagonist)}}.
** "On Melacholly Hill" returns the characters to 2D {{spoiler|(save for Cyborg-Noodle who stay CG-rendered, to keep her appart from the real Noodle)}} amongst plenty 3D vehicles, creatures and backgrounds.

== Web Comics ==
* [[Homestuck]] is usually a normal comic (at least in terms of art), but often shifts into animated GIFs, Flash animations, and the occasional RPG-like interactive sequence. The latter two have "[S]" before the page name; seeing [S] in an update usually indicates an inbound [[Wham! Episode]].
* If a webcomic occasionally making use of animated gifs can count, then ''[[Gastrophobia (Webcomic)|Gastrophobia]]'' is an example with [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-08-21 this strip] and the [http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2009-08-24 following one].
* One episode of ''Mountain Time'' has 2D, black-and-white stick figures turning into [http://mountaincomics.com/2011/10/13/mountain-time-304/ 3D, full-color clay models]. (Their speech is still in 2D text bubbles, but it's Japanese.)
Line 174:
** In the episode where Tweek fights Craig, the shop teacher's late girlfriend is seen in flashbacks as a live-action actress.
** "I Should Have Never Gone Ziplining" has the last segment done as a [[Dramatization]] by live actors.
* The main gimmick of ''The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour'' and its sequels: Given that ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' uses [[Thick Line Animation]] and ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'' is CGI, characters are Medium Blended when crossing into the "other" show's universe. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|referenced]] through Timmy's usage of the adjective "bulgy" in Jimmy's world (itself a [[Shout -Out]] to the above-mentioned "Homer<sup>3</sup>") and Jimmy and Sheen falling like cardboard pop-ups upon arriving in the ''FOP'' world.
** This culminates in the third ''Jimmy Timmy Power Hour'', where the [[Big Bad]] of the movie creates "Retrodimmsdaleville", which is depicted as a bizarre mix of both animation styles; that is, the ''FOP'' art style in a papery 2.5D void.
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'': Channel Chasers features scenes made with cel animation (the show is made with Flash), paper cut-outs, anime, cel-shaded stop motion, and puppetry.
