Line 13:
Contrast [[Refugee From TV Land]] and [[Welcome to The Real World]], where characters from a "fictional" milieu enter the "real" world and, more often than not, find that the world ''doesn't'' work the same way anymore.
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The Toon World theme from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' takes this and runs with it. In the anime, they're made nigh-unkillable by it, with Toon Mermaid's armless clam ''[[Barehanded Blade Block|catching a sword]]'', and Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon taking the opportunity in-manga to contort its body to dodge its normal counterpart's [[Wave Motion Gun|Burst Stream of Destruction]].
Line 62:
* ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'' -- Ditto.
* [[Walt Disney]] himself referred to this phenomenon as "The Impossible Plausible", i.e. animating actions that would be physically impossible(a character walks off a cliff and still stands in mid-air) and making them seem plausible in the animated setting(said character then looks down, realizes his predicament and starts falling).
* Pinkie Pie from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has many toony abilities no other pony is capable of. These almost never amount to any practical effect, however, and are generally accepted as "Weird things that Pinkie Pie does, just ignore it" by anyone around to witness them.
** Winter Wrap-Up shows that other ponies are capable of Pinkie's antics (much to Dash's confusion) but only during elaborate musical sequences.
* The trope was collectively codified in ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and [[Tex Avery]] shorts.
