* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'': The movie starts with Rémy crashing through a window. The action is paused and he starts narrating with the following line.
-->'''Rémy:''' This is me. I think it's apparent I need to rethink my life a little bit. What's my problem? First of all, I'm a rat, which means life is hard. And second, I have a highly developed sense of taste and smell.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': "Would you look at that? Pretty pathetic, huh. Well, you're not gonna believe this, but that llama you're looking at was once a human being. [...] The name is Kuzco. Emperor Kuzco."
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' has this as a bit of a RunningGag, with every Spider character delivering a short monologue detailing their SuperheroOrigin and [[HowWeGotHere how they got to that point in the narrative]], each of them starting with the same phrase. Peter B. Parker and Gwen Stacy subtly lampshade it, while Peni Parker, Spider-Noir, and Spider-Ham is a DeconstructiveParody where they all rapidly talk over each other in order to get their stories out of the way. The first and last instances of the monologue (done by Blonde Peter and Miles Morales) are played straight, with Miles's closing speech also laying out the film's thesis statement.
--> "All right, let’s do this one last time. My name is..."
