* {{Shrek}}: Lord Farquaad gets eaten by a dragon.

* ABugsLife: Hopper is eaten by a bird.

* Subverted in ''{{Beetlejuice}}''. The title character is swallowed by a SandWorm near the end of the movie, but turns up later in the afterlife office none the worse for wear.

Compare TheDogBitesBack.

* ''IndianaJones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull'' where The Dragon gets eaten by Siafu ([[MisplacedWildlife who do not exist in that part of South America]]).
** Hell, they're on the wrong continent. Siafu are African ants (though different from the driver ants that also live in Africa). The army ant is South America's swarming ant.

In many a story the BigBad (or TheDragon (or maybe even the slightly annoying bad)) will get his payback for being a Bad. And the payback is that he gets to be dessert.. Well maybe not dessert - sometimes it's an appetiser, sometimes a main course, once in a while, it really IS dessert. The high point of this is when the Bad is eaten by the primary character ([[TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]] anyone?).

** Or, in ''{{Hannibal}}'', he gets eaten by the pigs that were ''supposed'' to eat Hannibal.

* In the story of Daniel from TheBible, after having to consign Daniel to a lion's den because of a law that some princes had tricked him into passing because they were jealous of him, King Darius, overjoyed that the Lord protected Daniel for the night by sending one of his angels to shut the lions' mouths so they could not hurt him, has Daniel taken out of the lions' den. The princes responsible for the law (and their families, in a bit of DisproportionateRetribution) are thrown in instead, where they promptly get eaten by the lions.

** Possibly the coach's fate in "Go Fish" - but this troper read it as the fate he'd intended for Buffy when he sent her down with the fish-men.
---> Xander: "Boy, the swim team sure loves their coach!"
*** Even more {{Squick}} if you recall that the coach intended to have Buffy to be ''raped'' by the fish-men - they had already eaten at that point.

* ''ReturnOfTheJedi''. Boba Fett (who captured Han Solo in ''TheEmpireStrikesBack'') is swallowed by the Sarlacc, where (according to Jabba the Hutt) he will find a new definition of pain and suffering as he's slowly digested over 1,000 years. But he's Boba Fett so he's [[FirstLawOfResurrection too cool to die]]

* In ''TheCityOfEmber,'' Mayor Cole gets eaten by a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant star-nosed mole]]
