* ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'': In "Molly's Folly", [[GirlsVsBoysPlot Molly wants to prove to Taz that girls are better than boys at everything]], so she challenges him to take ballet lessons. The instructor, Emu Child, puts him through her paces. Taz manages to keep up with the class (more or less), but when they go into their spins, his tornado manages to suck up all the other students. When Taz refuses to admit that he's not as good as the girls, Molly gives him private lessons. When it's time for the recital, Taz's overexuberance wrecks the show, but Molly forgives him and tells him that she's proud of his efforts. ([[NoFourthWall Being the kind of show it is]], Molly acknowledges that this isn't how the show usually ends, but tells the audience that this is how they're doing it this time and that they should accept it.)

* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'', Gru's adopted trio of little girls are in ballet class for an upcoming recital for ''Theatre/SwanLake'', and the girls want him to come see it, but he has doubts because the date conflicts with [[MonumentalTheft his own plans]]. This becomes an important subplot in the latter half of the movie [[spoiler:because it represents a turning point in Gru's character development. Character wise, he was, at first, adverse to even letting them go to class. Then at the end, he went through hoops and turns just to be in their dance recital. Personality wise, he was at first too [[BigBadWannabe "evil"]] to care about little things like the girls' own personal lives, then at the end he warmed up enough to them to the point he'll give up his dreams for them and protect them at all costs, and he also [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking got his spacesuit]] [[RealMenWearPink colored pink]]... because real [[PapaWolf foster fathers]] wear pink.]]
