* Creator/{{Teletoon}} has commissioned several series of shorts in this style over the years.

** ''WesternAnimation/ChopChopNinjaChallenge'': None of the four ninjas ever speak as they attempt to accomplish the various challenges their sensei puts out for them.
** ''WesternAnimation/Cracked2016'': The closest thing featured to dialogue in this series are the occasional squawks, squeaks, screeches, and screams that Ed makes.

* ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'' as expected from a music video, the animated version of Music/MysterySkulls' features this, with everything that happens syncing up to the beat, but even when characters are just sitting still, they're still bobbing their heads to the music. The only bit of "dialogue" that the videos has is in "Ghost" when [[DemBones Lewis]] points to Arthur right when the song declares "Fuck, it's you I hate the most".

* ''[=AstroLOLogy=]'': There's some occasional [[TheUnintelligible unintelligible speech]], but other than that, there's no proper dialogue.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' had several shorts using this trope: "Babblin' Bijou", the second half of "Potty Emergency" (from the point where Wakko finds the toilet in his bag) and "Toy Store Terror", the latter two of which have dialouge from the characters at the end.

* ''WesternAnimation/Primal2019'' is completely devoid of any dialogue, as there's only one prominent human character, and all of his vocalizations are animalistic yells and grunts.

* ''[=AstroLOLogy=]'': There's some occasional SpeakingSimlish, but other than that, there's no proper dialogue.

* From 2005 to 2012, this is how the ''VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame''s tackled story cutscenes. This would sometimes come into conflict with story beats, requiring creative solutions such as [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Vader showing Luke a photo of him with Padme]] rather than [[LukeIAmYourFather the usual]]. 2008's ''LEGO Batman'' averted this for the first time by using an original story with full voice acting. 2012's ''LEGO The Lord of the Rings'' averted this for direct adaptations by using voice clips from the films, a practice retained to this day and phasing out the trope entirely.

** They returned to them in 2012 with the beautiful theatrical short ''WesternAnimation/{{Paperman}}''.

* ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', perhaps the most ambitious manifestation of this trope.
** Not to mention its sequel, ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}''.

* Disney did a number of these in the 1930s. ''Disney/TheOldMill'' is particularly noteworthy for its melodramatic depiction of [[ItWasADarkAndStormyNight a dark and stormy night]].

* ''Film/MinusculeValleyOfTheLostAnts'' has both live-action parts and animated parts, but the animated [[MouseWorld Insect World]] is where the story happens. Not a word is spoken in either.

* Most of the WesternAnimation/PixarShorts. Only "WesternAnimation/Boundin" with its rhyming narration, "Lava" with its sung dialogue and narration, and the shorts spun off the features, have any dialogue.

* ''Game Over'', the ''Kid Paddle'' spin-off [[BreakoutCharacter featuring the barbarian video game avatar]] seen in many games that Kid Paddle plays, has no spoken lines aside from the occasional "[[PokemonSpeak Blork]]" and the [[DamselInDistress princess]] yelping. [[note]]Granted, there are a few framing devices, and even then they're reprinted gags from ''Kid Paddle''[[/note]]
