* VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog has one giant wrap-around eye split into two lobes, and his pupils are shaded three-dimensional objects. this is a throwback to the kind of cartoony eye that was almost standard back in the olden day of animation.

[[note]]See also: Victorian taxidermists' ill-advised attempts to [[TaxidermyTerror give whimsical expressions and large anthropomorphic eyes to taxidermied animals]].[[/note]]
