History Main / NarniaTime

** In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', the movement of time in the quantum realm (first introduced in ''Film/AntMan'') is revealed to also be inconsistent relative to the main universe. Once [[spoiler:Scott Lang returns, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar post-Snap]], from being trapped in the quantum realm following the events of ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'', he learns that five years have passed while he only experienced [[YearOutsideHourInside five hours]]. Based on this, he and the surviving Avengers discover they can use the strange nature of time in quantum realm to travel to the past (by entering the quantum realm at one point in time and exiting at another), retrieve the Infinity Stones, undo [[BigBad Thanos]]'s BadassFingersnap, and bring everyone back to life]].

* In ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', time behaves oddly on the planet Sakaar, but how this works is vague at best. Thor and Loki end up there after being thrown out of the Bifrost wormhole, but Loki arrives weeks ahead of Thor despite them only being seconds apart. The Grandmaster notes that the planet has allowed him to live [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld a very long time]], suggesting time either passes slower there or people just don't age... but all the scenes back on Asgard appear to happen concurrently with Thor's plotline.

* ''Series/TheSandman2022'': Lyta mentions that she's been living with her husband in the Dreaming for months. Rose points out that its only been two hours in the waking world.

** ''VideoGame/FateExtra CCC'': The Far Side of the Moon exists in an alternate plane of reality (an "Instance of Imaginary Number Space") in which time flows... strangely. For instance, the entire game takes place in a couple of microseconds in between chapters of the original ''Fate/EXTRA''. This is because the Near Side is "Observer Space" where time flows linearly as per normal human perception. The Far Side is "Archival Space" where all past, present, and future events have been simultaneously indexed by the Moon Cell and essentially become nigh-indistinguishable from each other because they all are rendered as determined events akin to someone reading through a storybook where everything has happened even if being read linearly. From the perspective of Archival Space, one could simply go back The villain, BB, takes advantage of this as well: [[spoiler:it would normally be impossible to hack the Moon Cell; it's too advanced a computer and would take something close to an eternity to hack. Well, on the Far Side an "eternity" can pass by in a few hours...]]

* In ''Literature/TheSecretKingdom'', time in the human world stops when the main characters visit the titular kingdom.

* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': In ''Literature/SmallGods'', when Brutha [[spoiler: dies, and finds Vorbis, who died a century ago, still hasn't crossed the desert]]:

* ''Literature/TheTowerOfGeburah'' series[[note]]Creator/JohnWhite[[/note]]:
** Wesley, Kurt, and Lisa accidentally venture to the kingdom of Anthropos in another world, and stay there some weeks helping to free it from the forces of darkness. When they return to the 'real' world, only a few hours have passed.
** After several months have passed in Canada, the portals to Anthropos' world open again. Venturing there in pursuit of their lost cousin, the children find thirty years have passed there.
** While it's unknown how much the four children are ever told once their Uncle John realizes where they've been and reveals he knows about Anthropos, ''he'' had ventured to Anthropos far back in its history, spending two years there, but coming back to Earth shortly after he left, with just enough time having passed to justify getting from his grandmother's home to the ship he and his father travel on to Canada.
** Gets mixed with time travel in ''Gaal the Conqueror''. The kids land far back in Anthropos' timeline, but the usual "long time there, short time back home" applies.

* In the ''Fanfic/InfnityCrisis'' tie-in ''Generation Gaps'', 11-year old Cassie Lang is sucked through a portal into the Microverse. When she emerges, the now 17-year old Cassie is happy to finally be reunited with her father...only to discover that on Earth, she's only been gone for half an hour.

* On ''TheMagicians2016'', like in the books it's based on, it's stated that time in Fillory moves differently than on Earth, and it largely seems to be random. At one point a few weeks pass on Earth and centuries pass in Fillory.

* Likewise in ''Film/{{Hook}}''. Peter promises to visit Wendy every spring, but his visits clearly don't occur at regular intervals. This is averted in the book. While Neverland has no seasons, and sunrises and such come and go whenever they feel like it, the relative time for people inside and outside is the same, and the children really are gone for months. While Peter's 'springtime' visits don't come at regular intervals, it's because he doesn't know/care how much time is passing, not because it isn't.

* Implied in ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland''. Gretchen claims that "Time has no meaning here", and even though Jasper and Agnes enter Deadland within a few minutes of each other, Agnes forgets her entire life, [[spoiler:gives herself a new name and becomes highly acquainted with Deadland]] before Jasper has even learns that [[GhostAmnesia he is losing his memory]].

* Implied in ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland''. Gretchen claims that "Time has no meaning here", and even though Jasper and Agnes enter Deadland within a few minutes of each other, Agnes forgets her entire life [[spoiler:and somehow gives herself a new name and a new job]] before Jasper has even learnt that [[GhostAmnesia he is losing his memory]].

* ''Catnapped'' features a world, Banipal Witt, where an entire day there (measured in a series of balls and grains, manually reset, in a complex hourglass) is equivalent to three minutes in the human world. However, the time passing is inconsistent in the movie itself, so there's no real knowing if that correlation is correct.

* In ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland'', Jasper and Agnes enter Deadland a few minutes apart, but when they reunite, Agnes clearly acts as if she's been down there for ''at least'' a few weeks longer than he has.

* In Mikhail Uspensky's ''Dear Comrade King'', the temporal relation between our world and [[FlatWorld Zamirye]] works like that. But wait, there's more! Turns out that a local wizard cast a TimeyWimeyBall spell, so the speed of time flow in various parts of Zamirye also goes out of sync. So two characters from Earth enter Zamirye in the height of the Soviet rule, spend there some months and return after TheGreatPoliticsMessUp, right in the middle of the First Abkhazian Conflict.

* All over the place in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' and ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier,'' when travelling between the Shadow-Mirror, OG-verse, and the Frontier itself. Axel was the last to leave the Shadow-Mirror Universe, but ended up in the OG-verse months before the rest of the force. The ''neverland'' was one of the first to leave, and landed in the Frontier ''centuries'' after an entity that ended up there months after the ''Neverland's'' teleport.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': The Season 5 premiere namedrops the {{Trope Namer|s}} when Rick [[MundaneUtility ages some wine in a Narnia-esque dimension]]. Morty [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds inadvertently]] becomes TheDreaded to the peaceful inhabitants when he [[GenreBlind carelessly]] lets one follow him through the portal - and return home to find a long-dead wife and a vengeful son. Morty's attempts to retrieve more wine [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom causes more trauma]] to [[GenerationalSaga future generations]], whose society evolves around the goal of destroying the "Dark Child".

* Although there is no time or interdimensional travel in ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'', Narnia Time is repeatedly played for laughs as part of a recurring gag. It goes like this: Bojack becomes depressed and goes on an alcoholic or drug fuelled bender, then he'll start a conversation or say he's about to perform a simple task which would only take a short time to perform, and the background will change to show the task or conversation has been completed. And then his companion will look at him strangely, explain that a much longer period of time has passed, and either briefly summarize his drug-fuelled antics or tell him that he's been missing for weeks or months.
