History BoundAndGagged / WesternAnimation

%%* Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPanAndThePirates''.

** "The Ape Army of the Amazon": Lois Lane gets tied to a pillar in a temple and gagged by the {{villain}} so he can rob the temple's treasures.
** "The Mysterious Mr. Mist". Lois Lane is tied up and gagged by the title character before he lowers her into a well.
** "Luminians on the Loose". Jimmy Olsen gets this treatment from Lex Luthor.
* All the time on ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop''. Every single episode. More than once. Funny thing is she has only been gagged once in "Carnival Calamity". About 90% of the Hooded Claw's schemes probably would have worked if he hadn't overlooked that.

-->'''Marge:''' No he hasn't.

* In the very scene of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', Bunny Vreeland (daughter of [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Veronica Vreeland]]) has been kidnapped for a ransom and, as you can imagine, is bound and gagged by her captors.

* In the episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE2ChristmasWithTheJoker "Christmas With The Joker"]], Joker goes for a festive theme, binding Gordon, Summer and Bullock up like Christmas presents (complete with bows) and using candy canes as gags.

* WesternAnimation/KimPossible would often find herself tied up by the villain. She almost always used this time to get the [[JustBetweenYouAndMe villain to reveal their plot]], then escape and kick their ass.
* Mickey and Minnie are [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bxVZ7GvshNg/Sus7B68k3gI/AAAAAAAAB3E/-TDOvnUsd3E/s320/Shanghaied+1.jpg tied up and gagged]] in the old cartoon "Shanghaied."

* [[RebelLeader Caleb]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' gets caught, bound, and gagged in season 1. Lucky for him, he'd done the same thing to the same guards earlier in that episode with his belt, where he kept a dagger that he used to escape.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Boast Busters", Applejack is tied up and gagged with an apple when challenging Trixie to a rodeo contest.

* All the time on ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop''. Every single episode. More than once. Funny thing is she has only been gagged once in "Carnival Calamity". About 90% of the Hooded Claw's schemes probably would have worked if he hadn't overlooked that.
* April O'Neil in the 1987s ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'', who always ended up being bound and gagged by the bad guys, especially during the earlier seasons, to the point that the turtles can even recognize her mumbles.
** In the ''Turtles Forever'' special, the 1980s Turtles tell their 2000s counterparts that they must save April at least once a day.
* ''TotallySpies'', where it happens in almost every episode.
** It happens in the sequel series ''TheAmazingSpiez'' too though not quite as often.
* In the classic ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'', this has happened to Ursula in the episodes "Desperate Showers", "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seed" and "A Man for all Hunting Seasons".

* Happens all the time in ''WesternAnimation/PeterPanAndThePirates''.
* Not as often as you might think for a character nicknamed "[[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Danger-Prone Daphne]]," but regularly enough to deserve an honorable mention.
* Happens in most episodes of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' to one character or another. Most notably, Catwoman finds herself on a ConveyorBeltODoom being carried toward a cat food grinder in the episode "Almost Got 'Im", but this is far from the only example.

* Pretty much every major character other than Batman, Nightwing, and Ra's Al Ghul is tied up at one point or another in ''BatmanUnderTheRedHood''.
* Happens quite a bit in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Of course, since pretty much every single character in this show kicks ass, more often then not it's a case of BadassInDistress.
* ''WesternAnimation/GoldieGoldAndActionJack'' had both titular characters being BoundAndGagged. One instance had a henchwoman [[StandardFemaleGrabArea grabbing both Goldie's arms from behind]], and Goldie spends the next half-minute pinned right in front of her captor.
* Tails from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. Also [[BadAssInDistress Sonic]], to a lesser extent.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', Harold, Stinky and Sid come to Arnold for help after thinking they blew up a police station [[spoiler:When it was actually Ernie who demolished it with a wrecking ball]]. When Arnold tells them they have to go to the police, they bound and gag him for fear that he would rat them out.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman''
** "The Ape Army of the Amazon": Lois Lane gets tied to a pillar in a temple and gagged by the {{villain}} so he can rob the temple's treasures.
** "The Mysterious Mr. Mist". Lois Lane is tied up and gagged by the title character before he lowers her into a well.
** "Luminians on the Loose". Jimmy Olsen gets this treatment from Lex Luthor.
* JustForFun/CandleJack has been known for doing this to whoever [[SpeakOfTheDevil says his name]] on ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''. Which happens a lot, so he's [[GonnaNeedMoreX always gonna need more rope]] for unknown reasons.

* Mickey and Minnie are [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bxVZ7GvshNg/Sus7B68k3gI/AAAAAAAAB3E/-TDOvnUsd3E/s320/Shanghaied+1.jpg tied up and gagged]] in the old cartoon "Shanghaied."
* The U.S. ''WesternAnimation/{{Dennis the Menace}}'' cartoon once had a scene where a seal is running amok, and at one point grabs toilet paper in its mouth and runs around the kids, wrapping them up in toilet paper. They even get gagged by apples that get knocked off a table and fly into their open mouths.
* This happens to Brattus in the third act of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mr Bogus}}'' episode "[[{{Recap/MrBogusS2E8BogusToTheRescue}} Bogus To The Rescue]]", [[spoiler: after Bogus busts him for making a false alarm on the phone about an emergency]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic}}'' episode "Boast Busters", Applejack is tied up and gagged with an apple when challenging Trixie to a rodeo contest.
* This happens a lot in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. One notable example is in ''Cape Feare'', when Sideshow Bob ties up the entire family (even the pets!) as he goes off to kill Bart. Of course, Homer is asleep throughout the ordeal.
-->'''Lisa:''' Oh, no. Dad's been drugged!
-->'''Marge:''' No he hasn't.
* This sometimes happens to Princess Toadstool and less frequently to Mario and Luigi in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros'' cartoons. Even the Koopa Kids get tied up once.
* [[RebelLeader Caleb]] from "WITCH" gets caught, bound, and gagged in season 1. Lucky for him, he'd done the same thing to the same guards earlier in that episode with his belt, where he kept a dagger that he used to escape.
* This occurs to a total of three characters in IvanhoeTheKingsKnight. It happens once to Rowena, one to Harold and twice to Rebecca.
* Happened at least once to Jeremie Belpois of CodeLyoko. He managed to get the gag off but had to send Odd's dog Kiwi for help because the ropes were too tight. He's not happy about it.
--> With my luck, he'll come back with the principal.

* KimPossible would often find herself tied up by the villain. She almost always used this time to get the [[JustBetweenYouAndMe villain to reveal their plot]], then escape and kick their ass.

* Kayley in ''WesternAnimation /QuestForCamelot'', near the end.

* Happens quite a bit in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Of course, since pretty much every single character in this show kicks ass, more often then not its BadAssInDistress.
* ''WesternAnimation /GoldieGoldAndActionJack'' had both titular characters being BoundAndGagged. One instance had a henchwoman [[StandardFemaleGrabArea grabbing both Goldie's arms from behind]], and Goldie spends the next half-minute pinned right in front of her captor.

* ''TotallySpies'', where it happens in almost every episode. Given the cheesy, simplistic plots, it's one of the reasons many [[FetishFuel people watch the show]].

* This sometimes happened to Princess Toadstool and less frequently to Mario and Luigi in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros'' cartoons. Even the Koopa Kids were tied up once.

* Penny, the young niece of the title character of ''InspectorGadget'', would frequently be captured by the [[MonsterOfTheWeek M.A.D Agent of the Week]] and be bound and gagged, often requiring her to either free herself, or be rescued by [[NonHumanSidekick Brain]].
* All the time on ''ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop''. Every single episode. More than once. Funny thing is she has only been gagged once. 90% of the Hooded Claw's schemes probably would have worked if he hadn't overlooked that.

** In the ''Turtles Forever'' special, the 1980's Turtles tell their 2000's counterparts that they must save April at least once a day.

* Tails from ''AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. Also [[BadAssInDistress Sonic]], to a lesser extent.
* In ''SpongebobSquarepants'' we get a very brief glimpse of Mr. Krabs and Patrick tied-up and helpless in the storeroom, courtesy of our favorite sponge as he prepares a fancy dinner for Squilliam and his buddies; it was the only way to stop their disastrous attempts to help.
