* ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': When the Wicked Witch of the West tries to take the Ruby Slippers from Dorothy's feet, they generate an electric shock field that prevents their removal. In the original book ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', the Silver Shoes don't have this property, and the Witch is able to steal one.
* ''Film/ColossusTheForbinProject'': The titular MasterComputer's main defense is that it was built inside its own radioactivity spewing nuclear reactor.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': The Cave of Wonders, where Aladdin first found both the flying carpet and Genie, would only allow one who was worthy, [[ArcWords "The Diamond in the Rough"]], to enter. Even then it would not permit Aladdin to touch any of the treasure except for the lamp. Anyone who breaks the rules is swallowed by the Cave.
* ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'': The Darkhold is actually fairly easy to destroy, with a single stab from a knife able to cause it to burn into nothing. However the sorceror who does this also demonstrates why this wasn't done previously, as she is incinerated along with the book.
