Added DiffLines:
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBeatles'':
** "Help!" has Paul chasing fashion thief Jacques Le Zipper up the Eiffel Tower. The bulk of the action during the song takes place there.
** "Thank You Girl" opens with a pan of the city of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower in full view.
** "Hold Me Tight" has the boys touring Times Square in New York City and Ringo is counting the lights ("They say there's a broken heart for every light on Broadway"). George and Ringo visit the Statue of Liberty where they think a foreign spy is trying to blow it up.
* ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'': The titular character's house has a crystal-clear view of the Hollywoo(d) sign from the living room, reminding us of the celebrity setting.
* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'':
** "The Statue of Liberty Caper" has Baron Greenback not only stealing said statue, but also some other noteworthy structural icons of New York City--Yankee Stadium and the Empire State Building among them.
** "Danger Mouse On The Orient Express" starts with DM and Penfold in a gondola on the Grand Canal of Venice.
** Any Danger Mouse episodes that open in London will usually feature Buckingham Palace and/or Big Ben.
* Averted in the opening to ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''. What appears to be San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge is actually St. Canard and the Audobon Bay Bridge.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'' opening, the nephews run across the desert, being chased by a mummy. About six pyramids are in the background, establishing an Egyptian setting.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Parodied in "Peter & Lois' Wedding"; during flashback scenes, the Twin Towers show up in every EstablishingShot to show that it's TheNineties, [[CrossesTheLineTwice even in scenes not taking place in New York]].
* Averted in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' opening. The Capitol Building would establish Washington, D.C., but this is just a model held by Freakazoid.
* Parodied by an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. when the gang goes to the beach just in time for the beach to be overrun by Omicronians, with Fry walking onto the beach, and saying, "Hey, the Statue of Liberty!" and then Leela shows off a series of others. Leela and Bender explain that a supervillain moved them all to that particular beach after becoming Governor of New New York, adding his face to Mount Rushmore.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' had shots of both the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe when the characters went to Paris. There was a shot of Big Ben in the London episode. This trope can also be done with wildlife if an animal is particularly tied to the area. When the group is sent to Australia during the World Tour season, a kangaroo is passing by just as they show up, [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia instantly cluing them in on where they are]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'' opening, the Brooklyn Bridge and Twin Towers establish New York City.
* In one opening to ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', a photo album shows Max's family posing in front of the Eiffel Tower and the Egyptian pyramids.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' opening, Art/TheSphinx and pyramids establish Egypt.
* In the opening credits of ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' the Golden Gate Bridge is a regular feature, and in the GrandFinale it is damaged along with half the city. However, once the BigBad is defeated the city magically is repaired, saving the bridge presumably. Also, the Bay Bridge, Transamerica Pyramid, and Coit Tower make appearances throughout the show.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheKarateKid'' opening, the Leaning Tower of Pisa establishes Italy, Art/TheSphinx establishes Egypt, and the Art/StatueOfLiberty establishes New York City.
* The ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' cartoon "Sunny Italy" opens with a shot of the Tower of Pisa. [[DastardlyWhiplash The villain Oil Can Harry]] is trying to tip the tower over as he has Pearl Pureheart tied to a rail at the tower's summit where she is dangling by one foot. The Grand Canal is seen as well as the Coliseum in Rome, where Mighty Mouse is battling attacking lions.
* Considering it takes place in Paris, ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' regularly places the {{Trope Namer|s}} in the background of shots, regardless of whether it would actually be visible from that location and angle. The intro notably features the protagonist Marinette standing atop the tower and overlooking the city before transforming into Ladybug and leaping from it. It's most obvious when battles take place at the Louvre, when it will actually jump around from shot-to-shot (in RealLife, the Eiffel Tower is visible to the Louvre's west). About the only times this trope is avoided in outdoor scenes are for the battles that take place at the Eiffel Tower itself.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Muppet Babies|1984}}'' opening, the Grand Canal establishes the city of Venice.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': The episode "Rarity Takes Manehattan" is set in Equestria's version of [[BigApplesauce New York]], complete with pony versions of the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the Verrazano–Narrows Bridge, and many other recognizable landmarks.
* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' in a quick gag on a family trip to England. After his father points out various English landmarks in a series of cuts, Phineas lampshades how small England seems with all their notable landmarks inexplicably in one place.
* PlayedForLaughs in the ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' episode "Road Rash". When Heffer tells Rocko to take a shortcut on their motorcycle trip, they end up passing random world landmarks: Egyptian Pyramids, Stonehenge (Heffer even tells Rocko to "turn right at Stonehenge,") a Venetian canal, Moai Statues on Easter Island, the Eiffel Tower (obviously), and the Taj Mahal in India, complete with {{Regional Riff}}s for those areas are being played.
* Justified in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. The CN Tower features prominently in the episode where they go to Toronto, but this is just TruthInTelevision. It's so tall you really can see it from damn near anywhere within city limits (cf. Real Life). If anything, they don't show it ''enough''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSnowman'' had no need of a specific setting, but it got one anyway courtesy of the gratuitous appearance of Brighton Pavilion in one of the flying sequences. [[CreatorProvincialism Creator Raymond Briggs lives near Brighton]], and evidently so does the boy in the story.
* In the opening to ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'', a large sandstone formation resembling Uluru is present, establishing central Australia. [[note]]Which is odd, as Tasmanian Devils live in forests and coastal woodlands, not deserts. Also they are native to Tasmania (thus the name) and do not exist in mainland Australia outside of zoos and sanctuaries[[/note]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/ThundarrTheBarbarian'' intro, the Golden Gate Bridge establishes the city of San Francisco. The wreckage of the Titanic establishes part of the ocean floor has surfaced.
* After WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa decide not to eat a snail when they get trapped in a mailing package, Pumbaa worries that whomever is at the destination might hurt their new friend. Timon reassured them that the only way that could happen is if they ended up "in France, where snails are considered a delicacy". Cue the package opening up, and a clear view of the Eiffel Tower-ig over them.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/WhereOnEarthIsCarmenSandiego'' opening, the Chinese guardian lion and Chinese temple rooftop establishes the location as China, possibly the Forbidden City. Art/TheSphinx and the pyramids in the desert establish the location as Egypt. The Art/StatueOfLiberty and Twin Towers establish New York City.
