%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'': "Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart."

** In the first movie: "This isn't flying -- it's falling with style!" It was first used by Woody out of denial after witnessing Buzz, who thinks he's a real Space Ranger, seemingly fly in Andy's room (which to be fair, Woody was RightForTheWrongReasons since Buzz was actually hooked by a toy airplane on the ceiling when he "flew"). At the film's climax, Buzz activates his wings to break out of the toy rocket strapped on his back and somehow miraculously glides to Andy's car. Woody expresses his delight surprise that Buzz can actually fly, only for Buzz to reassure Woody he's not flying but falling with style, highlighting how he has come to accept himself as a toy.

** In the first movie: "This isn't flying -- it's falling with style!"

* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'': Halfway through the movie, Jasper, while on the phone with Cruella, gives a BigShutUp to a complaining Horace, [[FunnyPhoneMisunderstanding which Cruella thought was aimed at her]]. At the end of the movie, after the Dalmatians escape to freedom, Cruella gives Jasper and Horace an angry YouFool rant, prompting an exasperated Jasper to ''actually'' tell her to shut up.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', there was a nice callback when the Emperor calmly told [[BigBad Shan Yu]] that "No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it" and after Mulan had stopped Shan Yu, the Emperor himself and everyone else ''bowed'' down towards her in gratitude.

** During a sibling fight between Goldi and Baby Bear, Goldi reminds him that he's the "smash" and she's the "grab". [[spoiler:She says this again when she abandons the Wishing Map to rescue her brother from being vaporized]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Mirabel telling Abuela Alma that things happened "because of [her]". [[spoiler: First, she says it [[CallingTheOldManOut in a furious, confrontational tone]] when accusing her of tearing the family apart. A little later, she says it to her [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre in a warmer, more encouraging tone]] to get to her see that she managed to raise a wonderful family in spite of everything she went through.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'', when Perrito sees Goldi and the Bears' dynamic, he tells Goldi she "won the orphan lottery" [[spoiler: (even though she wishes for a real family).]] Later, after [[spoiler: she sacrifices the wish to save Baby Bear, Goldi says she did get her wish, because [[FamilyOfChoice the Bears ''are'' her real family]] and repeats the line back at Perrito with a wink.]]

--->'''Syndrome:''' And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that ''everyone'' can be superheroes! ''Everyone'' can be super! And when everyone's super... ''[{{evil laugh}}]'' ...''no-one'' will be.

** There's also Dean's advice to Hogart, "You are who you choose to be." Hogarth then tells it to the Giant to stop his rampage. And then it literally echoes in the Giant's memory as he [[spoiler:heads off to his HeroicSacrifice.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Mirabel telling Abuela Alma that things happened "because of you." [[spoiler: First, she says it [[CallingTheOldManOut in a furious, confrontational tone]] when accusing her of tearing the family apart. A little later, she says it to her [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre in a warmer, more encouraging tone]] to get to her see that she managed to raise a wonderful family in spite of everything she went through.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'': "See ya later, alligator." First time, Wyldstyle says this to Emmet as she leaves to access the control room in Lord Business' tower. Second time, Emmet says this to Wyldstyle as he forces himself to jump out of the tower, because it'll be the only way to disconnect the battery - that he's tied to - from the self-destructing mechanism that Lord Business had planned to electrocute everyone in the Think Tank. Role reversal, plus a drastic change of situation

** Paraphrased by Syndrome later on:
--->'''Syndrome:''' And when I'm old and I've had my fun, I'll sell my inventions so that ''everyone'' can have powers! ''Everyone'' can be super! And when everyone's super... ''[{{evil laugh}}]'' ...''no-one'' will be.

* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'':

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'': The first movie has the line "That's what you do in a herd." It's first said by Manny when he saves Diego's life, and later by Diego when he saves Manny's life. Also, both instances happened in near-death situations, and in fact, Diego is apparently ''dying'' when he makes the same reply back to Manny, but somewhat differently, as their situations are reversed.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'':
** "I'm thinkin' of a song."
** ''Europe's Most Wanted'': "Balloons for the children of the world."

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Home}}'', when Tip and Oh first meet, she locks him in a freezer and tells him "No, you cannot come into the out!" when he asks. [[spoiler:In the climax, Oh locks Tip and Lucy in her car (to protect them from being crushed by the Gorg mothership) and tells her "Tip can't come into the out now."]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart'': "You started it." Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi and later Sweet Mayhem say this towards Wyldstyle, seemingly as if to say "You started the fight, not us." since she was the first to attack them in the beginning of the movie. However, it's later revealed that Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi is actually Emmet's gift to the aliens, meaning he was responsible for creating their world, and thus, "they started it".

** In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'', Buzz tells Woody "You are a toy!", referring back to the first film where Woody says this to Buzz multiple times. Specifically, he shouts back Woody's exact line, with one minor change. "You aren't a collectible, you are a child's plaything!"

** When [[spoiler:Hiro]] is having their breakdown and raging at Baymax.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin'':
