History Main / MeadowRun

* Happens rather bizarrely in the {{tokusatsu}} ''UchuuKeijiSharivan'', with the run being done by [[HoYay the hero and]] ''[[HoYay Jesus.]]''

* Parodied on ''{{Bewitched}}'' when Mr. and Mrs. Kravitz are reunited after separating.

* Played straight with Misa Hayase and Hikaru Ichijo in the episode of SuperDimensionFortressMacross where [[spoiler:Earth is glassed]]. For some reason they [[OffModel forgot to color it]].
* Tadao Nagahama LOVES this trope. After his ''Robot Romance Trilogy'' actually did show romantic premises with ''Voltes V'' and ''Daimos'', the ending credits depicts the Reunion Runs accompanied by heartwarming {{Award Bait Song}}s (The Gou brothers to their father Dr. Kentaro Gou, Kazuya with Erika.)

* Renton and Eureka did this in episode 47 of {{Eureka 7}} when they reunite with each other.

* Also spoofed in ''Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle'', when Kumar engages in a Meadow Run with an anthropomorphized bag of marijuana. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment And then the bag o' weed and Kumar get married.]] [[{{Squick}} And fuck.]]
* Also played straight in the movie ''The Sidehackers'' (as seen on ''MysteryScienceTheater3000''), set to the film's love theme, "[[KillEmAll Nothing Lasts Forever]]" ("Only love/Pads the film").

* Used in The Pirate Movie when Mabel first sees Frederic on the beach. Somehow they end up riding horses on the beach moments later.

* Spoofed in ''Wagons East'', in which the heroes are facing death and each imagines his or her loved one in a brief vignette. The last hero is a redneck farmer whose vignette has him performing a MeadowRun [[spoiler:with a sheep.]]

* Spoofed in {{Madagascar}} as well, where in the middle of Alex and Marty's run, it turns out that Alex is actually pissed off, with it quickly turning into Alex chasing Marty around.
* Most {{Narm}}-filled moment EVER in [[Literature/{{Twilight}} New Moon]] when [[spoiler: Aro is seeing Alice's version of the future to prove that Bella will eventually become a vampire. They sparkle as they frolic.]]
* Similar to the Doctor Who example below, Toriko has The female Battlewolf and her child start running towards each other [[spoiler:.....Only for Bui to fire a laser through the mother's body]]

* Spoofed in the British TV series ''Ballykissangel'' where a man and a woman run towards each other across a grassy meadow. When they meet the woman suddenly punches the man in the face.

* Happens rather bizarrely in the {{tokusatsu}} ''Uchuu Keiji Sharivan'', with the run being done by [[HoYay the hero and]] ''[[HoYay Jesus.]]''

* Spoofed in the {{Doctor Who}} fan film [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6_UPmEVkR4 "I'm a Time Lord, Get Me Out Of Here!"]].
* At the very end of AVeryPotterMusical, Quirrel and Voldemort start to do this, first running towards each other, and then turning around to join back-to-back (it makes sense if you've seen it).

* Most {{Narm}}-filled moment EVER in [[{{Twilight}} New Moon]] when [[spoiler: Aro is seeing Alice's version of the future to prove that Bella will eventually become a vampire. They sparkle as they frolic.]]

* Horrifically twisted in the ''DoctorWho'' episode "The Stolen Earth" [[spoiler:when the Doctor and Rose run towards each other, meeting for the first time since "Doomsday"... only for a single Dalek to appear in the scene and shoot the Doctor without so much as an "Exterminate". And if that wasn't enough, this leads to a pretty damn big cliffhanger as the Doctor begins to regenerate...]]

* Kurau and Christmas interact lovingly in a sunny meadow during the opening credits of ''KurauPhantomMemory'', wearing summer dresses?which [[BaitAndSwitchCredits doesn't appear anywhere in the series itself]].

Two lovers run toward each other in slow motion across a meadow filled with flowers and butterflies, arms spread, totally suffused in the joy of their meeting, as Tchaikovsky's Love Theme from the Overture to ''[[http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=VmLsvQaxw3g Romeo and Juliet]]'' (or some other piece deemed romantic) [[StandardSnippet plays on the soundtrack]].
