== Comic Books / Strips ==
* Used twice in ''[[What's New With Phil and Dixie (Comic Strip)|What's New Withwith Phil and Dixie]]'': once [http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20070401 when Phil wakes up to find] his lead miniatures have tied him to the bed and are demanding a raise, and again when [http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20071230 a gamer appears tied down in his own prize-winning diorama] at a game convention.
* Done to [[Garfield]] by a band of miniature Odies in [http://garfield.nfshost.com/1988/09/25/ this] Sunday strip banner, with Garfield saying, "[[Acid Reflux Nightmare|Definitely no more pizzas with anchovies and chocolate syrup before bedtime.]]"
 
Line 16:
* In ''[[Jurassic Park]] 2'', a tranquilized ''T. rex'' is seen lying on a transport pallet, bound heavily enough to immobilize it. In this case, the tiny (to it) humans had the sense to use metal braces rather than string.
* Happens to Ginormica at the very beginning of ''[[Monsters vs. Aliens]]'' shortly after being hit by a meteorite full of Quantonium and subsequently mutating into a giant.
* Happens to Mrs. Jumbo in ''[[Dumbo (Disney)|Dumbo]]'' as a result of her attacking a mean boy that was threatening her title son, and consequently being locked up for this reason.
 
== Literature ==
* ''[[GulliversGulliver's Travels]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]].
* ''[[Professor Mmaas Lecture]]'' features a horde of termites catching a drunk guy in a ditch and promptly tying him down [[For Science!]], using miniature cement strings (presumably made with their advanced [[Organic Technology]]). This includes tying down every single of the man's hairs separately.
* Discussed in ''[[TruckersNomes (Literature)Trilogy|Truckers]]'' after one of the Nomes sees the illustration in a copy of ''Gulliver's Travels''. Masklin concludes that the most impressive thing about it is the amount of co-operation required; if a group of Nomes tried it, they'd start arguing and never get the job done.
