* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaidIIIArielsBeginning'': Near the end of the prologue when Athena gets killed by an out-of-control ship when trying to save the music box, the box itself is all we see of her after the blow.

* A GenreSavvy application of this trope: German U-boats in [=WW2=] evolved a strategy, when under sustained attack from surface ships, of firing out miscellaneous debris from the torpedo tubes. This included containers full of waste oil that would break and spread on the surface of the water, indicating the ship had taken critical damage from depth charges. Sundry debris was added to enhance the deception, including items of crew clothing and other plausible bits of debris that would float to the surface and indicate the submarine had been sunk. These did indeed include crewmens' headgear, including officers' caps. While the British or American attackers were congratulating themselves on a kill, the sub would simulate an uncontrollable crash dive to fool sonar detection, then go into silent running mode and eventually make its escape.

** This also shows up at the end of the original after Dragon eats Lord Farquaad, although the crown bouncing to a stop might also be a subversion since he gets eaten on-screen.

to:

** A subversion can be seen with the fairy Godmother in the second movie, when she attempts to blast Shrek and Fiona with a burst of magic, Harold dives in the way of them causing the blast to bounce of his armor and be redirected back at her. She disintegrates into a collection of bubbles while attempting to charge for another attack, with the scene transitioning on her glasses and wand indicating that this is last time she's seen alive.

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'' subverts this twice in its first movie alone with the title hero's [[SignatureHeadgear orange cap]].
** After blasting the heroes off a conveyor belt at an abandoned factory, Gaga Naz presumes [=BoBoiBoy=] and his friends dead when he sees his hat hanging off a piece of debris. After he leaves, the cap flies off briefly before being caught by [=BoBoiBoy=], who was hiding safely in a hollow space underneath the structure with the others.
** After the BigBad [[DropTheHammer strikes his giant hammer]] down on [=BoBoiBoy=], his hat flies off as a DiscretionShot and it seems that the villain has won. However, Ochobot granted the heroes {{Eleventh Hour Superpower}}s moments before with the last of his energy, and a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness hatless BoBoiBoy scowls]] as he pushes back against the hammer before continuing the FinalBattle.
