* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', the salesman from the beginning who tells the entire story to the audience is in fact the Genie (which is part of why Creator/RobinWilliams voices him). The plan to have this revealed in the movie itself was dropped and had to be confirmed via WordOfGod years after it came out.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'' begins with a grandmother telling her granddaughter the story of Balto and how he saved all of Nome to help a little girl who cared about him. At the end of the story, Rosie, the girl Balto saved, tells him she'd be lost without him. At the end of the film, the grandmother turns to the statue of Balto and quotes Rosie, the granddaughter calling to her as 'Grandma Rosie', revealing she was Rosie from the story.
* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy: The Movie'' has Klamkabot telling [=BoBoiBoy=] and his friends about a powerful Power Sphere who is hunted down by the main villains. Gopal can guess from the first sentence that Klamkabot is talking about himself and nobody pretends otherwise.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' has Mittens telling Bolt how they cannot trust humans while inevitably revealing her past to him. While Mittens never outright says it was her, it was obvious that she was talking about herself.
-->'''Mittens''': [People] ''act'' like they love you, they ''act'' like they'll be there forever, and then one day they pack up all their stuff, move away, and take their 'love' with them, [[spoiler:leaving their declawed cat behind to fend for herself! ...They leave her, wondering what she did wrong...]]
* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', the tour guide that told the story to the students is revealed to be [[spoiler:[[GodInHumanForm La Muerte in human form]]]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie'', the Narrator turns out to be Nicholas, the boy who made a DealWithTheDevil to become a mage, after he's all grown up and is running an orphanage now.
** Happens again in ''The Care Bears' Nutcracker Suite'', in identical fashion (except the girl joins the Franchise/CareBears in their adventure instead of fighting them).
* ''WesternAnimation/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime'' begins with a voiceover asking the viewers if they remember a story about a girl who escaped a life of cinders by believing in a dream, and also letting talking mice and a fairy godmother help her find true love. After a {{beat}}, the narrator continues, "Well, that girl is me." Cinderella then smiles at the camera while the title appears.
* ''Franchise/DisneyFairies'' movie ''Secret of the Wings'' has Queen Clarion and Lord Milori separately tell Tinker Bell and Periwinkle respectively a story to try to convince them that they can no longer see each other. [[StarcrossedLovers A fairy from the warmer seasons and a fairy from the Winter Woods met each other and fell in love]], and so they began to secretly meet each other... until the winter fairy's wings broke from the heat of visiting the warmer seasons too much. After that, the law forbidding fairies to cross the border was put into place. [[spoiler:It is revealed in the climax that Queen Clarion and Lord Milori were those fairies.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfFrostyTheSnowman'' is narrated by an old man and the story's main character is a young boy named Tommy Tinkerton, who has a crush on a girl named Sarah. At the end of the film, the old man states that he knew Tommy Tinkerton better than most people. An old woman's voice is then heard addressing the old man as "Thomas", and the old man replies with "Coming, Sarah".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metegol}}'' has a FramingDevice where a father, Amadeo ([[DubNameChange Jake in the US dub]]), is telling his son a story about a guy, also named Amadeo (Jake). To his credit, the son sees right through this.
-->'''Matty:''' Come on, Dad, is this story about you?\\
'''Jake:''' No. 'Jake' is a fairly common name.
* ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' provides an example, and also lampshades it within two seconds.
-->'''Snow White:''' Once there was a princess...\\
'''Doc:''' Was the princess you?
* The narrator of ''WesternAnimation/TheTownSantaForgot'' is an old man who tells his grandchildren about spoiled brat Jeremy Creek who, long story short, TookALevelInKindness and became Santa's assistant until he got too big to fit in the sleigh. At the very end, some snow falls off the mailbox outside, revealing that the house belongs to one J. Creek.
* ''Literature/VampireHunterD'' has a scene where the sheriff of a local town and his deputies try to run D (a {{Dhampyr}}) out of a store at gunpoint. The owner of the elderly shopkeeper stalls them with a story of a group of children who were kidnapped by a vampire and while a bounty hunter did rescue them all the townspeople turned on him when they realized that he was a dhampyr. As D departs the shopkeeper thanks him for the rescue all those decades earlier, revealing that the story was about both of them.
