* Episode "The Scarlet Pachyderm" of ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'' has FlamboyantGay Pompadour losing his Louis XV-like wig with two mean Rhino border guards and feeling outrage saying "I’m practically bald without my wig!"

** Cranky Doodle Donkey from "A Friend in Deed". He is [[BerserkButton very sensitive about it]] -- Steven Magnet mentions that all those years he was searching for Matilda, he was also looking for a cure to baldness. He is constantly seen wearing wigs or other equivalents (like, say, Steven Magnet's moustache) to compensate for his lack of hair.
