  • In Aladdin, Iago says "We gotta get out of here. Bring the guns, the weapons, the knives!" Why say "the guns" and "the knives" when they are also weapons? And what weapons do Jafar and Iago have that are not the guns and the knives?
  • In Animal Soccer World, Jacko names his soccer team "the Jungle Kings, the kings of the jungle".
  • Chicken Run:
    Rocky: You see, flying takes three things: hard work, perseverance and... hard work.
    Fowler: You said "hard work" twice!
    Rocky: That's because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.
  • The Brave Little Toaster: It seems Lampy likes to do this sometimes:
    Lampy: And exactly how do you propose we do that, uh, exactly?
  • The Emperor's New Groove:
    Kronk: Riiiight, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison specially chosen to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison...That Posion?"
    Yzma: Yeah that Posion Kronk.
    • Kronk's New Groove: Many characters have labels on their possessions that read "[Name]'s [Item], property of [Name], do not touch except for [Name]".
  • Finding Nemo:
    Dory: I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine. And he shall be my Squishy.
  • The central setting of the animated film Foodfight! is a supermarket called "Marketropolis Market".
  • In Incredibles 2, the Unreadably Fast Text of the International Superhero Accord being signed on the Everjust concludes with "...the United League of Nations does hereby proclaim Supers legal henceforth unto eternity and for all time, forever."
  • Inside Out uses this cleverly when looking at Deja Vu (and this, and Deja Vu, and that, oh, and Deja Vu!) from the Train of Thought.
  • Kung Fu Panda:
    • The name Chorh-Gom translates to "sitting in prison". So Tai Lung was imprisoned in the Sitting in Prison Prison.
    • Also, Shifu's name translates as either teacher or master... so he's "Master Master".
    • And, Tai Lung's name translates as "Ultimate/Great/Awesome (no not really) Dragon". So if he'd been given the scroll, he would have been "Ultimate Dragon, the Dragon Warrior, bearer of the Dragon Scroll".
    • The opening dream sequence: "Legend tells of a legendary warrior, whose kung-fu skills were the stuff of legends!"
  • Disney's animated Robin Hood (1973):
    Prince John: I sentence you to sudden, instant, and even immediate death!
    • And then again not a minute later when he stops the execution (because Little John has a knife at his back)
    Prince John: Stop! Executioner stop! Hold your axe!
    • "If I tattletale, I'll die till I'm dead."
  • Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse:
    • During the Spot's initial attempt to rob an ATM, Miles wonders why people call them "ATM machines", since the "M" already stands for "machine".
    • Later, when meeting Pavitr Prabhakar, Miles mentions that he loves chai tea, which turns out to be Pavitr's Berserk Button - as he points out, "chai" already means "tea"note . During his run-in with the Spot, Pavitr points out the same applies to the phrase "naan bread" - and then the Spot also mentions that he loves chai tea, enraging Pavitr again.
  • In The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, when Plankton is trying to tell Mr. Krabs that the formula literally disappeared, Mr. Krabs answers with: "Why should I believe YOU, you lying liar?!"
  • The Super Mario Bros. Movie: In the "Super Mario Bros. Plumbing" ad, one of the streets in Queens is called "Road St."
  • In Disney's animated version of The Sword in the Stone, during the Wizards' Duel, one of the rules is that there's no cheating (ie it's against the rules to break the rules).
  • Dug from Up does this a lot:
    Dug: My master made me this collar. He is a good and smart master and he made me this collar so that I may speak—SQUIRREL!
    [looks to distance for a few seconds]
    Dug: My master is good and smart.
    Carl Fredricksen: It's not possible!
    Dug: Oh it is because my master is smart!
  • Wreck-It Ralph: Felix being interrogated upon entering Hero's Duty: "I'm Fix-It Felix Jr., ma'am, from the game Fix-It Felix Jr!"
  • Zootopia: Judy calling Nick out for hustling her.
    Judy: I stood up for you, and you lied to me, you liar!
