* ''WesternAnimation/AlfredJKwak'': In episode 5, which takes place in Alfred's youth during winter, after Alfred goes missing and his adoptive father Henk (a mole) sets out to find him, he encounters a frozen lake with a sign warning about thin ice, and worries that Alfred fell through the ice and drowned. Alfred actually fell into an empty well with the school bully Dolf and is stuck there, before they're discovered by the hungry cat Krabnagel. In the climax, Henk saves Alfred by distracting Krabnagel, who then pursues him onto the ice and because of his much larger weight ends up breaking it. However, Krabnagel survives thanks to HarmlessFreezing, as he returns in later episodes.

Sebastian, however, slips on the ice and begins sliding out of control. In a panic, he deploys his claws and starts cutting grooves in the ice as a braking mechanism. As Fate would have it, his claw grooves encircle Alexandra, who hears the distinct crackle of failing ice just before her section gives way. She falls into the water, which results in nothing worse than an EverybodyLaughsEnding.

* In ''Film/TheKnightBeforeChristmas'' tween girls Claire and Lily go out to play in the snow but get caught in a blizzard and Claire stumbles out on to a frozen lake which begins to crack. Luckily protagonists Cole and Brooke (Claire's aunt and her love interest) find them in time for Cole to talk Claire though how to safely get off the ice whilst he tries to also safely get to her, by both of them getting down and crawling whilst spread out flat on the ice to minimise the surface pressure.

* The "Once Upon a Wintertime" segment of ''WesternAnimation/MelodyTime'' is about two couples -- a human boy, his girlfriend, a rabbit and his girlfriend -- playing in a frozen river. Both couples break up and the girls walk away, passing a "Danger - Thin Ice" sign. The boy rabbit sees the sign and tries to show the girls, but they ignore him, so he sticks the sign into the ice in a fit of rage. This causes the ice to crack, and the girls end up on an ice floe headed for a waterfall, with the boys trying to rescue them.

Rule of thumb: if the narrative in any action, mystery, or genre work draws attention to the fact that the ice over a body of water has just formed, chances are good someone will fall through that ice before the story is over. Ice-cold water being what it is, there's a fifty-fifty chance that character will then drown or freeze. If there's a close-up of an actual [[CantYouReadTheSign warning sign]], it is in fact almost an unspoken guarantee that someone will ignore it.
