Line 112:
* In ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', Aladdin and Jafar spend a good two-thirds of the film unaware of each other's true identity/intentions. Jafar assumes Aladdin died in the Cave of Wonders, then when he returns as Prince Ali neither of them knows who the other is. It's not until Jafar sees "Ali" has the lamp that he puts it together.
* Disney's ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'': Hercules doesn't even know he ''has'' an arch-nemesis until the final act of the movie.
* MalificentMaleficent is this to Aurora, originally, in ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]''; the two never truly get a formal introduction in the entire film. While this was subvertedin the live-action ''[[MalificentMaleficent]]'' (where the villain was given far more background and depth) it was a [[Retcon]] made over half-a-century after the original movie, so the trope can still apply.
