* ''Videogame/Persona3Reload'' recast all of the main characters from the English dub of ''Videogame/{{Persona 3}}'' except for Creator/TaraPlatt as Elizabeth, but brought most of the other leads in cameos.

* ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' (2007) has a non-actor version of this: In the car lot where Sam Witwicky goes to buy his car, next to Bumblebee is a yellow VW Beetle, Bumblebee's Alt Mode from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers''. This doubles as a FandomNod since the producers wanted to use the New Beetle as Bumblebee's alt mode in the film, but VW denied permission (they didn't want the vehicle being used as a weapon).

* ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' featured the return of a number of actors from [[WesternAnimation/XMen1992 the original series to reprise their roles]], while also recasting a number of key characters.

** Creator/CharlesMartinet, who usually voices Mario, Luigi, and most of the named male Super Mario characters in the videogames, appears in the film as several cameo characters. These include Giuseppe, a "Punch-Out Pizzaria" customer who claims that the Mario Brothers' accents are perfectly fine, as well as Mario and Luigi's father.
** The Latin Spanish dub chose the voices for the Mario family members based on their previous appearances in productions related to the franchise. These include Víctor Delgado and Creator/JoseAntonioMacias (who voiced Mario and Luigi in the [[Film/SuperMarioBros1993 1993 movie]]) as the Mario brothers' father (who primarily resembles Mario) and Uncle Arthur (who has a strong resemblance to Luigi instead) respectively, Creator/MariaFernandaMorales (voice of Peach in the [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow 1989 animated series]]) as their aunt, and Jorge Roig Sr. (dubbing director of both the 1989 and [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3 1990 animated series]], plus providing some additional voices in the former) as their grandfather.

* In the two-part series premier of the 2019 ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' reboot, Carmen first gets her iconic red coat and hat after [[MuggedForDisguise stealing them]] from a BoundAndGagged criminal she’s trying to impersonate. The tied-up villainess in question is voiced by Creator/RitaMoreno, who provided Carmen’s voice in the [[WesternAnimation/WhereOnEarthIsCarmenSandiego '90s animated series]]. As a result, Carmen stealing the coat and hat becomes a symbolic PassingTheTorch moment from Moreno to Creator/GinaRodriguez, Carmen’s new voice actress.
