* ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'': The penguins operate a plane using chimpanzees as their motor.
* ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted'': The penguins drive a car with the help of a steering wheel toy.



* More than once in ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets,'' animals team up to operate motor vehicles. It goes about as well as you'd expect, especially since no explanation is given for how they learned to drive.

--> '''Helga:''' The floor? Why?
--> '''Gerald:''' Because I am driving the bus, OK? And because I'm 9 years old and I can't reach the pedals! Do it!

* ''Film/TheMongolianConnection'' offers a full-size example. Wade and Serik, who are running from gangsters that are trying to kill them, jump into a car. First problem: Wade realizes that the car is a Japanese-made car so the steering wheel is on the right side. Second problem: Serik, who got in the right-side seat that turned out to be the driver's seat, is handcuffed, because he's a criminal under arrest. Third problem: the car is a stick shift, and they don't have time to change seats due to the aforementioned murderous gangsters who are hot on their heels. So Wade and Serik go on a death-defying high-speed car chase through Ulaanbaatar, with Serik operating the steering wheel with his handcuffed hands, while yelling out gear changes to Wade, who operates the stick.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Onward}}'' one of the obstacles the protagonists have to deal with is a gang of biker pixies that use this trope to (rather effectively) operate their motorcycles. Sounds adorable? Not really, as the pixies are all very aggressive ''before'' the obligatory MotorcycleDominoes scene...
