A downplayed version is in Film/SleepingBeauty: Prince Phillip is riding and gets thrown off into a mud puddle. He takes off his hat, cape, and shoes. Forest animals take these and pretend to be a man for Princess Aurora to dance with.

A group of characters gets wet for whatever reason, like by falling into a river or stream. Upon climbing out and finding themselves lost in the woods, they do the first, most logical thing. They [[TakeOffYourClothes take off their clothes]] and hang them on a branch or over a fire to dry them off. This can lead to an awkward situation, as all the people are now either in their underwear or naked.

Depending on the people involved, it could be an awkward situation never to be spoken of again or a chance for the relationship between two characters to develop. If you have a man and a woman, expect them to spend a night sitting back to back (to [[IntimateHealing share body heat]]) and have an intimate, heartfelt conversation. When their clothes are finally dry, she will probably thank him for taking such good care of her...or [[{{Tsundere}} threaten to kill him]] if he ever mentions it again. [[TakeAThirdOption Or even both.]]
