* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', this is how the Nika form works. Once activated, the user bounces around merrily, able to toy with their opponents, such as flattening them with by slapping them between their hands; or rapidly generate powerful weapons in a Creator/TexAvery-esque fashion, such carving a tree into a [[BatterUp baseball bat]] to deflect projectiles. Opponents flattened, stretched, or otherwise misshapen return back to their normal shapes after a short time but sustain major internal damage. The user also displays exaggerated facial and bodily expressions, such as the EyePop. [[spoiler:This is the final form of the Gum-Gum Fruit, and once Luffy achieves it, he's able to go toe-to-toe against the most powerful people on the planet due to toons being naturally resilient and unpredictable.]]

* In the strictest sense not really an ''anime'' example per se, but this was what a company called Toon Makers [[WesternAnimation/ToonMakersSailorMoon had planned]] for ''Anime/SailorMoon'' if they had gotten the rights instead of Creator/DiC's eventual edited translation. They were going to have the civilian scenes filmed in live action and then the girls would turn animated in a very Filmation's ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower''-esque style when they transformed. Also they were going to go literally sailing... in space... for 25 years the only available clip of this was recorded from a convention screening on a camcorder therefore very low quality and cacophony of attendee laughter - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=358ewVY2nko See here]] - that was commonly nicknamed "Saban Moon" due to people assuming the company who made it was Saban. However in 2022 [=YouTuber=] Raven "Ray Mona" Simone unearthed the full pilot from The Library of Congress.

* The end credits of the TV movie ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'', in which the rock star [[Music/GunsNRoses Slash]] plugs into a tricked-out amp, with a spark of electricity that travels down the wire to his bass, which spreads to his body turning him from live action to animated.

* Zig-zag: ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' caps off with the live action Beatles telling what they took with them from the movie as souvenirs (Paul's "love" appears in his hand animated), with John telling the others that singing will stave off an impending Blue Meanie attack.

* There was a ''lot'' of this going on in the (partially animated) ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "Revenging Angel," which transitioned between [[ItMakesSenseInContext "live action in the real world of the show" scenes, and the "live action cartoon scenes" and "animated cartoon sequences" inside John Crichton's head.]]

* The direct-to-video series ''Series/SecretAdventures'' was mainly in live action, but OncePerEpisode, the main characters would go on an [[ImagineSpot imaginary]] "secret adventure" where they would turn into cartoon animals in order to learn [[AnAesop a lesson]] relevant to the plot of the episode.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'', Peacock used to be a girl named Patricia, but after being rescued from slave traders by the Anti-Skullgirls Lab, she was turned into a living weapon. Due to her love of cartoons and the psychological trauma she recieved from the slave traders, the weapons mostly manifest themselves as typical cartoon gags such as [[FlowerPotDrop a falling flowerpot]], {{Cartoon Bomb}}s ([[AnimateInanimateObject that are alive]]) and using a PortableHole to teleport.
