* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', this is most evident with the Nimbus, Zapp Brannigan's ship. Its only consistent size is "a lot bigger than the Planet Express Ship," which is a lot of variance, as the Planet Express isn't particularly large, and the fact it's usually encountered in deep space (meaning there isn't much to scale it to) doesn't help. There are episodes where it seems to be [[MileLongShip a rather large vessel]] (but [[AlwaysABiggerFish not particularly large by the standards of the setting]]), and episodes where it seems to be in full-on PlanetSpaceship territory. And it's had a few oddly small showings as well, such as ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'', where it's small enough to fly into the nostrils of an oversized statue.

** ''Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy IV'' features a shrink ray as the main driver of its plot. Throughout the episode, shrunken characters range from the size of action figures to the size of ants--culminating in the end, where the entire ''town'' is smaller than Plankton.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Gimli and the hobbits seem to change height in some scenes.[[note]]Due to the height differences between the characters and the actors playing them, Gimli and the hobbits were the right heights to appear on-screen together and seem "correct", but if anyone else was in the frame, they had to cheat the angles.[[/note]]

* Foreign translations of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' simply ''cannot'' agree on Gollum's size. Sometimes they keep him about the same size as Bilbo, sometimes (such as in the Japanese translation), he's ''enormous'', much larger even than a human.

** [[RichBitch Trixie]] [[AsianAirhead Tang]]'s height relative to Timmy tends to be quite inconsistent. Most of the time, she'll be depicted as about a head taller than Timmy, but it has ranged anywhere from Trixie only being a little taller than him to her being at least twice as tall as him.

* In ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', Apollo Justice is meant to be 5'5" according to the official guidebook, but due to issues with model scaling (like with the ''Pokémon Sun and Moon'' example above) he appears much shorter, around 5', in the 3D games. To put this in perspective, this makes him appear four inches shorter than his teenage ''[[SenpaiKohai kohai]]'' Athena, and the same height as his also teenage [[BigLittleBrother younger half-sister Trucy]]. This led to many jokes in the fandom that his official height is measured including his five inch long IdiotHair.

** In the main campaign, Plague Knight stands as tall as King Knight, being about OneHeadTaller than Shovel Knight. In the ''Plague of Shadows'' expansion, Plague Knight becomes the same height as Shovel Knight (the former's head reaches the latter's helmet horns). This becomes especially noticeable when [[spoiler:you fight the [[MirrorMatch original Plague Knight boss battle]] at the end of his campaign]]. It should be noted that [[spoiler:if you bomb your way into Plague Knight's secret room in the Explodatorium, you'll find his mask closet. Inside, the larger, more hooked mask he wears as a boss sits alongside a bunch of the smaller masks he wears as a playable character. This implies he uses some form of trickery to seem larger when you play as Shovel Knight]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'', Comics/{{Darkseid}} appears to be at least 12-15 feet tall, with Superman and Wonder Woman being each approximately the size of one of his arms. Come the finale of the film series, ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'', he is now roughly human size, which allows Superman to realistically fight him one-on-one.

* In ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', Apollo Justice is meant to be 5'5" according to the official guidebook, but due to issues with model scaling (like with the ''Pokémon Sun and Moon'' example above) he appears much shorter, around 5', in the 3D games. To put this in perspective, this makes him appear four inches shorter than his teenage ''[[SempaiKohai kohai]]'' Athena, and the same height as his also teenage [[BigLittleBrother younger half-sister Trucy]]. This led to many jokes in the fandom that his official height is measured including his five inch long IdiotHair.

* Aku from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' is a [[JustifiedTrope justified]] example, being a shapeshifter and all. He can range from being slightly taller than Jack, to as big as a skyscraper.

* ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'' seems in some shots to be attempting to make the gnome couple appear to be unnaturally tiny compared with Atreyu[[note]]When Atreyu is seen at the entrance to their home, ForcedPerspective and the size of a cup the wife hands him, relative to their respective hand sizes, gives the impression they're barely larger than his head[[/note]], but in other shots they look like perfectly normal-sized humans. By [[Film/TheNeverEndingStoryIIIEscapeFromFantasia the third film]], they're clearly shown to be smurf-sized.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Gimli and the hobbits seem to change height in some scenes.[[note]]Due to the height differences between the characters and the actors playing them, Gimli and the hobbits were the right heights to appear on-screen together and seem "correct", but if anyone else was in the frame, they had to cheat the angles.

* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has what seems to be a deliberate example of this trope in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' with Tamami Kobayashi and Hazamada Toshikazu. When they were antagonists, they were depicted as towering over adults. However, after being defeated by [[AudienceSurrogate Koichi]] and [[TheHero Josuke]], respectively, they were reduced to around Koichi's size. This change coincides with a significant spurt of ArtEvolution that took place after their villain arcs but before they were reintroduced later. The anime does this away: Tamami already appears as a midget when he fights Koichi while Hazamada is just a [[TeensAreShort rather short teen]] (He's still taller than Koichi but Josuke towers over him).

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': Conversed in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1432 SCP-1432]], a silent film that appears on generic [=DVDs=] across the United States. "The size of the doll is inconsistent over the course of the film, with the doll being portrayed as larger or smaller in order to fit through different areas (although the doll is never shown changing size)."

* [[HumongousMecha Mecharu]] and [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs George]] of ''Fanfic/SnowAngels'', due to RuleOfFunny.

** Player can temporarily change their characters' size with various spells and items, such as [[http://www.wowhead.com/item=78473 this endgame weapon]]. Usually considered fun flavor effects, they are sometimes used to mark out a particular player, such as the main tank, in raids.
