* ''VideoGame/{{Mothered}}'': An interesting case where this trope is PlayedForHorror. Throughout the game, Liana is unable to speak, and the few times she tries she finds that she can't. [[spoiler:When her CORE begins to synchronize with her robotic body enough, she musters the ability to say something. But her voice comes out as electronic and strained, which only horrifies her mother and brother.]]

** The carnivorous dinosaurs in the movie series always grunted and roared whereas the herbivorous ones had full speech (except Spike)--until Chomper's re-introduction. In the second movie, Chomper made animal noises just like any of the other tyrannosauruses; but when he was brought back in later movies, he could talk and converse with the main characters. He remains the exception to the rule though. It turns out that said grunting and roaring is simply a different language: By hanging out with Littlefoot and his crew for some time and with his parents the rest of the time, he became bilingual. At one point, they changed them to speaking Spanish for some reason.



* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': In "Best Clowns In Town", Austin the Clown spends a majority of the episode silent while he communicates by honking his horn. At the end of the episode, Austin suddenly talks by suggesting they have popcorn. {{Lampshaded}} immediately afterwards when the other two clowns and Ringmaster Tyrone gasp in surprise as Uniqua says "Austin, you spoke!"



* The series adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' voiced Spike, though he was speaking inside his head.
** The fourth movie, ''Journey Through the Mists'', play is straight: when Ducky is thrown into peril towards the end and causes a SayMyName moment amongst her friends, Spike goes, "Duuuhh... duuuhh... duuuhh... '''DUCKY!!!'''" {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d immediately after with everybody else doing a collective gasp directed at him.

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseFunhouse'': ''Pluto'' of all characters finally gets to talk in the episode "Daisy and the Missing Dream". Given that it takes place within the [[DreamLand Land of Dreams]], it's to be expected.

Linked to Little No in the Doom Slayer's entry.


* Throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' series, the Doomguy is traditionally a HeroicMime. In ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', the Doom Slayer actually gets a couple of lines in flashbacks and [[spoiler:delivers a "No" to the Dark Lord Davoth when asked if he has a PreMortemOneLiner to give]].
