There's one example that I want to add to this article. I suggested it when this article was part of the Trope Launch Pad, but it didn't get added. The example is listed below.
In the Rugrats episode, "Destination Moon", when Chuckie throws his toy rocket ship, Tommy, Phil, and Lil believe he threw it all the way to the moon. The babies then have an Imagine Spot where Grandpa Lou's new trailer is a rocket ship that they use to travel to the moon to get Chuckie's toy rocket back. In reality, the moon is Tommy's garage.
Even though the babies don't actually go to the Moon, the episode plays the plot out through an Imagine Spot. Besides, there are other articles in this trope, such as the The Penguins of Madagascar example, where the characters never actually make it to the Moon, but the episode still manages to play the plot with the characters believing they made it there.
