* And, once again, the statue of Abraham Lincoln (well, Abraham Linkid) comes to life in an issue of ''CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew''.

* The statue of Abraham Lincoln comes to life near the end of ''Night At The Museum II'' and fights the bad guys.

--> [[MasiOka Second]] [[HeyItsThatGuy guy:]] It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright law, it's not.

--> [[{{Heroes}} Second guy:]] Though it isn't. (Winks at the camera.)

** Don't forget [[spoiler: Mickey Mouse]] suddenly and inexplicably growing to large size and destroying Denver with his firebreathing powers in the Jonas Brothers episode.

* ''MagicTheGathering'': During the ''Dissension'' tie-in novel, Ravnica is attacked by giant monsters. First there's some Nephilim that grow giant-sized and start smashing things, then the Izzet's dragon guildmaster Niv-Mizzet flies in to fight them off, and eventually Experiment Kraj and Rakdos the Defiler join the fray as a result of a ThirtyXanatosPileup. Widespread destruction ensues.

* "Gollyzilla" in ''PinkyAndTheBrain''.

--> [[{{Heroes}} Second guy:]] Though it isn't.

* In cult comedy director "Savage" Steve Holland's film ''OneCrazySummer'', inspired by childlike wonder and curiosity, actor Bobcat Goldthwait dons a costume which bears a striking resemblance to, but is never specifically referred to as one of the Giant Rubber Monster incarnations of Godzilla. When he is unable to remove the costume after a lit cigar is thrown into the open mouth of the suit, he goes on a terror-driven rampage (coincidentally destroying a scale model of a proposed housing development in the process, mouth smoking all the while, to Godzilla-like music).

* {{Rugrats}} had the [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe]] Reptaur, a child-friendly BrandX knock-off of Godzilla.

* This trope gets a fair bit of mileage out of Honest Abe, it seems: The first season of Telltale Games' ''SamAndMax'' series has an episode in which the VillainOfTheWeek converts the statue of Lincoln into a giant robot that claims to be the reincarnation of the original, to run for President when the previous robot president is "assassinated" by the famous duo.

{{Godzilla}}, or some LawyerFriendlyCameo, is a common choice, of course.

Can overlap with AttackOfThe50FootWhatever, if the small thing turned huge is sufficiently monstrous (and of course not the focus of the work).

For whatever reason, this happens an awful lot to Abraham Lincoln (or at least his statue)
