*** Interestingly, this was originally going to be the scene where Skywise ''dies'' - but as series creator Wendy was explaining the upcoming plot to new co-creator Richard, she "made the mistake" of mentioning that Skywise was a star-gazer, and Richard, deeply interested in astronomy, adopted the elf on the spot. "He's mine. I take possession. You are not going to kill him."

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'':
*** Aladdin to Jasmine. A fall was only implied the first time, and it was when she ''trusts'' him that they jump off (safely).
---> ''"Do you trust me?"''
*** Averted by Jafar. Aladdin needs to be pulled up, Jafar says "First give me the lamp," takes the lamp and then, instead of pulling Aladdin up, tries to kill him with a dagger, then when Abu bites him, leaves Aladdin in the Cave of Wonders to die.
** In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', the Beast tries to save [[JerkAss Gaston]] this way. He falls to his DisneyVillainDeath, however.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' has a more of a "take my paw". Bolt tries to save Mittens when she nearly falls off a train, but it's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] as Mitten refuses because she knows Bolt isn't really a "super-dog". Bolt is then forced to grab her by the neck instead.
** Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective''. Basil is holding out Olivia while leaning over the edge of Big Ben. She strains to reach her father's hand, but ultimately can't reach him. It's only when Ratigan knocks them off the edge that her father is finally able to grab his daughter and save her from plunging over.
** Esmeralda tries to do this to Quasimodo at the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'' during the final battle with Frollo. Just right after [[DisneyVillainDeath Frollo falls to his doom,]] Esmeralda loses her grip, and as a result Quasimodo falls off the balcony as well, only to be caught and pulled back up by Phoebus (who is waiting at a lower balcony) at the last minute.
** Scar from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' holds Mufasa's by his paws above a tall cliff. (Actually, he holds Mufasa by driving his claws into the backs of Mufasa's paws.) Then Scar throws him off, and Mufasa dies. Later, he tries to do the same to Simba, but [[KarmicDeath it backfires]].
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'', Kiara reaches for Zira's paw, but fails to save her (it would have been physically impossible anyway). There was a small part cut which changed the meaning so that Zira ''[[DrivenToSuicide intentionally]]'' let go of the cliff into the rapids. It was a bit too disturbing for a kids' film.
** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', a kinda twisted version of this happens when Mulan and Shang (along with Mushu, Cri-Kee and Mulan's horse) get caught in the avalanche and the rest of the soldiers try to pull them all up with a rope. Everybody involved almost gets pulled off the cliff in the process. It then turns into a completely comical scene when Chien Po picks ''everyone'' up and pulls them all to safety.
** In ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'', the only way [[AntiVillain Silver]] could've kept Jim from falling to a very painful death was to let go of a boatload of Flint's treasure, [[FriendOrIdolDecision which he had spent the better part of his life searching for.]] [[spoiler:He chooses Jim over the treasure, solidifying his HeelFaceTurn.]]

** Near the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', [[spoiler: Bear Elinor]] tries to do this to Princess Merida as an attempt to save her daughter from the evil bear Mor'du [[spoiler: while escaping the ruins of his castle]]. [[spoiler:It works.]]
** In ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo,'' Marlin catches Dory by one fin as they're falling toward the back of the whale's throat. This might be considered something of an inversion, since not only does Dory not want to be rescued, falling is in fact the ''only'' way for them to get out of the whale.
** In ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', Sadness catches herself and Joy on the outer ledge of the window of Headquarters. Even though it's rather {{Downplayed|Trope}} compared to the other examples (Joy gets a grip on the ledge immediately afterwards), had Sadness not caught Joy by her bag's drawstrings, she would've certainly fallen into the Memory Dump [[spoiler:for the second time. ''And this time with [[FridgeHorror no way to get back out]]''.]]

**Much later in the film, Gabe and Jessie slip off a cliff after the 60-year old climbing rope they were using breaks, and Jessie dramatically finds herself in the exact same situation Sarah was at the beginning of the film. However, as Jessie is a professional mountaineer rather than an untrained tourist, she remains calm and quickly uses her training to lift herself up and use her free hand to climb up Gabe's body to reach safety, resolving the whole thing fairly quickly with it being barely an inconvenience.
