* Zig-zag: YellowSubmarine caps off with the live action Beatles telling what they took with them from the movie as souvenirs (Paul's "love" appears in his hand animated), with John telling the others that singing will stave off an impending Blue Meanie attack.

* There was a ''lot'' of this going on in the (partially animated) ''{{Farscape}}'' episode "Revenging Angel," which transitioned between [[ItMakesSenseInContext "live action in the real world of the show" scenes, and the "live action cartoon scenes" and "animated cartoon sequences" inside John Crichton's head.]]

* In the strictest sense not really an ''anime'' example perse but this was what a company called Toon Makers [[WesternAnimation/ToonMakersSailorMoon had planned]] for ''SailorMoon'' if they had gotten the rights instead of [=DiC=]'s eventual CutAndPasteTranslation. They were going to have the civilian scenes filmed in live action and then the girls would turn animated in a very Filmation's ''SheRaPrincessOfPower''-esque style when they transformed. Also they were going to go literally sailing... [[SpaceSailing in space]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358ewVY2nko See here]] the only available clip of (which was recorded from a convention screening on a camcorder hence the low quality & background noise) of what is commonly nicknamed "Saban Moon" due to people assuming the company who made it was Saban (they DID commission it).

* ''WebOriginal/HewysAnimatedMovieReviews'' has a studio in the second dimension, where Hewy can host guest co-reviewers who are 2-D themselves. It gets destroyed when he tries to duplicate Flint Lockwood's food machine from ''CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''.

* In ''LiveOnMars'' as a result of accidentally ingesting a drug [[spoiler:which one depends on whether Sam's really in a coma or really back in time]], Sam has a hallucination in which he, Gene Hunt and a random sexual predator are all rendered in the same stop motion animation as in ''CamberwickGreen''.

* This happens to Lucky Piquel in ''Series/{{Bonkers}}'', which is a curious case as he was already animated but he changes from a realistic looking Disney human into a miniscule comedic looking toon. Much to his dismay given his attitude to toon shenanigans being less than a glowing one.

* ''Hewy's Animated Movie Reviews'' has a studio in the second dimension, where Hewy can host guest co-reviewers who are 2-D themselves. It gets destroyed when he tries to duplicate Flint Lockwood's food machine from ''CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs''.

* {{Kidd Video}} - the band goes through a mirror after being taunted by Master Blaster (the BigBad), and goes to the FlipSide (an animated world) through a mirror.
* {{Captain N the Game Master}}, in which Kevin, and his dog Duke are sucked into the Ultimate Warp Zone, and become cartoons in Videoland (it also appears that he got older in the process).
* BobbysWorld, where Howie occasionally turns into a cartoon for the show, during the ColdOpen.
* Inverted several times in the opening theme for ''JackieChanAdventures''.

* In the 1996 movie adaption of {{James and the Giant Peach}}, James, and an assortment of insect and arachnid friends, become claymation figures when they go inside the peach. Justified, since it is a ''magic'' peach, enchanted by crocodile tongues.

* The movie version of {{Fat Albert}} has an inversion. Fat Albert and the gang start out as cartoons, then become live-action when they jump through the TV screen.
* On the movie of {{The Adventures Of Rocky And Bullwinkle}}, Boris, Natasha and Fearless Leader become live actors as they go through a television screen.
** When Rocky and Bullwinkle do the same, they simply turn into {{Cel Shaded}} versions of themselves, a discrepancy that is {{Lampshaded}} later on.
* ThePagemaster - A prominent example. A wave of paint covers the library, turning the main character and the library into a cartoon.
* {{Enchanted}}, where it's also the invert: A cartoon princess becomes a live actor in real life.
* {{Cool World}} is an in-verse sitch, apparently. Any "human" who is killed by a "doodle" resurrects as a doodle themselves. The artist is also afflicted when the dimensional barrier is broken.

* StayTuned, where Roy gets TrappedInTVLand and after one channel switch, and becomes a cartoon mouse menaced by a giant cat.
* The end credits of the TV movie {{Phineas And Ferb The Movie Across The Second Dimension}}, in which the rock star {{Slash}} plugs into a tricked-out amp, with a spark of electricity that travels down the wire to his bass, which spreads to his body turning him from live action to animated.
* In RockADoodle - The owl sings musical notes, turning the little boy into an animated cat (as well as his room.)
* The 1970 movie ThePhantomTollbooth, in which Milo enters a tollbooth, which makes him animated (he messes with this quite a bit, realizing what the tollbooth does), to get to the Kingdom of Wisdom.
* A DeletedScene in ''{{Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' originally had Eddie Valiant gain an animated pig's head over his own head when he entered Toontown.

* {{The Nineties}} intro to Plaza Sésamo, where some of the puppets and kids get on a bus, and go through a strange rainbow, taking them to an animated Plaza Sésamo.

* This happened on {{Fringe}}, and even allowed LeonardNimoy to make a guest appearance after his last live action TV appearance.

* The second {{Eureka}} ChristmasEpisode "Do You See What I See", in which a wave of color turns the city into multiple styles of animation and cartoony effects, which also makes Jack's jeep come alive, Andy becoming a cartoonish robot, and Jo becoming a Disney-like princess.

* The 2006 CartoonNetwork television movie {{Re-Animated}}, where Golly temporarily turns Jimmy into a cartoon knight on a horse, to save Robin from being run over by a train.

* Hewy's Animated Movie Reviews has a studio in the second dimension so Hewy can host guest co-reviewers who are 2-D themselves. It gets destroyed when he tries to duplicate Flint Lockwood's food machine from {{Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs}}.

* A {{Cut Scene}} in {{Who Framed Roger Rabbit}} originally had Eddie Valiant gain an animated pig's head over his own head when he entered Toontown.

When somebody might end up in another world, artists and crewmembers might cut the budget, just by making them into a cartoon or the such. Whether it's through being taunted, going through a magic portal, or whatever else, but on the other side, those live action folks end up as cartoons.

* The horrible ArchieComics Sonic special, SonicLive. Sonic pulls two live-action kids into their television screen, turning them into cartoons.

* The direct-to-video series {{The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald}}, where Ronald gets onto a type of slide, and turns into a animated caricature of himself.
