History Main / AttackOFThe50FootWhatever

* The classic sci-fi film ''Film/VillageOfTheGiants'', from the aforementioned BertIGordon, features a gang of delinquent teenagers becoming giants. They then take over the small town ... and dance a lot. (Interestingly, does not feature MagicPants for the growing characters.)

* As usual, Creator/TexAvery played this trope to the hilt in ''KingSizeCanary'', in which a bird, cat, dog, and mouse enlarge themselves by drinking Jumbo-Gro plant food. The cartoon ends with the cat and mouse standing over a basketball-sized Earth.

* Episode 3 of the OAV [[http://www.gts-depot.net/Animation/Japanese/OVAs/Armored_Troopers_J-Phoenix_Pf_Lips_Team/ Armored Troopers J-Pheonix PF Lips Team]] features a giant android girl named Kokoro chained to a cave wall. Needless to say, this episode focuses on two of the main characters helping to set her free.

* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', the skyscraper-sized dinosaur is this. Gareth Edwards, director of ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'', made a point of bragging that his version of the King of the Monsters would be bigger than any previous.

* ''Film/KingKong''.

* ''SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas'' has [[BigBad Eris, Goddess of Chaos]]. She's a little different in that she [[{{Sizeshifter}} intentionally switches between being normal size and 50 foot size with no problem]]. It seems to mostly be for the sake of intimidation and just because she can, as she favors [[BatmanGambit manipulating people]] and sending the occasional minion over stomping on random things herself.

* In ''{{Shorts}}'', Stacey is holding the wishing rock when she wishes her boyfriend would grow up. Guess what happens.

* The main characters in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} 2'' bake a giant gingerbread man named Mongo to lay siege to the castle.

* In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'', the boss of Ikana Canyon is a set of [masked] humongous desert worms that fly. The most common way to fight them is to don the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Giant Mask,]] which will increase your size to give you a fighting chance. (Or you could don the [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Fierce Deity Mask]] and get a laser-beam shooting sword.)
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' there's the Imprisoned.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap The Minish Cap]]'' inverts this to similar effect. When you're [[IncredibleShrinkingMan Minish sized]] a mere [[TheGoomba Oktorok]] becomes ThatOneBoss.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures}}'', Dr. Buttocks creates some giant monsters to attack Pac-World. Pac counters with a power berry that transforms him into "Paczilla".

* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''.
* Film/KingKong.

* Macrophilia is a fetish. Thus, they are sites and sections of sites dedicated to drawings, comics, stories, "poser" animations, live action videos about women growing to giant size. So uh...[[TheInternetIsForPorn happy hunting]].
** Not just limited to women. There's also giant men, {{Kaiju}}, animals, and [[FurryFandom furries]].

* Chapter 8 of ''Fanfic/ThePezDispenserAndTheReignOfTerror'' has a giant robot attack the town.

* ''ThreeTwoOneContact'' subverts this trope with a very convincing explanation of why a giant insect ala ''Film/{{Them}}'' is physically impossible.

* The WeirdAlYankovic song Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars is about this, with the titular hamsters growing to gigantic proportions.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'': Skeletor tries this when he gets a power boost. The cliffs around Snake Mountain aren't [[NoOSHACompliance rated for]] sudden increases in weight.

* The end of the 2nd stage in ''VideoGame/SlyCooper 3''. By the power of rage, Carmelita starts growing. And yes, the DatingCatwoman protagonist Sly gets to solve the problem with a [[ColossusClimb Carmelita Climb]], as put by the game.

* ''Film/TheMatrix: The Path Of Neo'' [[spoiler: at the end of the game, which corresponds with the end of ''Matrix Revolutions'', two avatars of the Wachowski brothers themselves [[{{Narrator}} speak directly to the player]] and explain that, while the Martyr ending was OK for the movies and the story, it just wouldn't work that well for a videogame. So instead, all the Smiths get together and grab various bits of destroyed junk and debris, as well as a giant pair or sunglasses from an ad, and for a GIANT Smith.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Bug}}'' and [[http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/bratzilla/ Bratzilla]].

* In ''ItCameFromTheDesert'', humanity falls under attack from giant ants.

* Used hilariously in an issue of ''{{Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane}}'', in Mary Jane's dream.
