And likewise, Mrs. Potato Head only appeared in the beginning and end of the second film while Barbie was only in one scene roughly past the middle; they both had much bigger roles in the third movie.
** This also applies to the Little Green Men from the claw machine scene of the first movie. Apparently becoming an EnsembleDarkHorse, they went on to having a signifcantly larger role in the second movie, became recurring characters in ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', and were major characters in the third film, even being [[spoiler:the BigDamnHeroes]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/MarvelRisingInitiation'' , Kamala Khan/Miss Marvel and Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl were major supporting characters while Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider was the lead. In ''WesternAnimation/MarvelRisingSecretWarriors'', Gwen underwent Main/ChuckCunninghamSyndrome while Kamala and Doreen were the lead characters.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy Cricket]] was originally a nameless cricket who, in the original book, got squashed by Pinocchio in one chapter ([[BrickJoke and came back as a ghost much later]]). In the film, he becomes Pinocchio's friend and adviser and has since appeared in countless other Disney projects.
* In ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'', the Grand Duke of Owls is the main antagonist and the cause of all the trouble in the movie. In the play ''Chanticler'' by Edmond Rostand, the Grand Duke is only a minor villain - instead, the main villains are the Blackbird and the rival rooster who fights Chanticler. The former receives AdaptationalHeroism while the latter is DemotedToExtra.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', the introduced fairytale creatures are all minor characters who don't do anything relevant to the plot aside from kicking off the main part of the story by showing up in Shrek's swamp and leading Shrek to go and see Farquaad. In the sequels, the Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Blind Mice all get this treatment, [[spoiler:with them being the ones to break Shrek, Donkey and Puss out of prison]] in ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'' and playing a part in defending the castle and being involved in the final showdown in ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''.
* In the comic version of ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' arc, "Public Enemies", ComicBook/AmandaWaller only appeared in one scene, only to be mentioned as having been arrested in the end. In [[WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanPublicEnemies its animated adaptation]], she's appeared throughout and has undergone AdaptationalHeroism, being the [[OnlySaneMan Only Same Woman]] working for Luthor and ordering his arrest.
* In the ComicBook/{{Tintin}} comic ''The Secret of the Unicorn'', the minor character Ivan Sakharine is a pushy but ultimately harmless model ship collector who is [[RedHerring briefly suspected]] of stealing Tintin's model of the ''Unicorn''. In the film adaptation of the same comic, however, he is the [[BigBad main villain]] [[spoiler: and the descendant of the pirate Red Rackham.]] Ironically, in the comic Sakharine is later attacked by the ''real'' thief, and if a brief cameo appearance in ''Red Rackham's Treasure'' is anything to go by he eventually made his peace with Tintin.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':
** In the first film, Woody and Buzz were the real focus of the film and all the other toys were relatively minor characters. The second film gives much more screentime to Slinky, Rex, Hamm, and Mr. Potato Head. And likewise, Mrs. Potato Head only appeared in the beginning and end of the second film while Barbie was only in one scene roughly past the middle; they both had much bigger roles in the third movie.
** This also applies to the Little Green Men from the claw machine scene of the first movie. Apparently becoming an EnsembleDarkHorse, they went on to having a signifcantly larger role in the second movie, became recurring characters in ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'', and were major characters in the third film, even being [[spoiler:the BigDamnHeroes]].
** In the first two movies, Bo Peep was Woody's love interest and voice of reason, but was otherwise away from the action. After being absent in the third movie, she becomes the deuteragonist of the fourth.
* Kanga and Roo were usually the most sparsely seen characters in the original ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' animations and even in the ''New Adventures'' series, had only a handful of moments in the limelight. Starting from ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie'' Roo started to become a more central character, with Kanga getting more importance from relation. ''[[WesternAnimation/WinnieThePoohSpringtimeForRoo Springtime for Roo]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/PoohsHeffalumpMovie'' in particular have Roo as the pseudo-lead. [[WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011 The 2011 movie]] demotes them back, though even then has Kanga and Roo take part in a lot more humour than before.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', Finnick has very minimal screen time in the movie. However, there is an implied history between him and Nick Wilde, one of the protagonists, and in the video game, ''Zootopia Crime Files'', he has a supporting role as one of the suspects in a case.
