History OlderThanTheyLook / Film

* A cut scene from ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'' revealed that RidiculouslyCuteCritter Mort, who behaves and, at least to human eyes, looks like a toddler, is actually 35. {{Justified|Trope}} in the looks arena because he's a mouse lemur, which are all small, fuzzy, and big-eyed. No excuse for his childlike behaviour beyond RuleOfFunny. Eventually made explicit in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'' when Mort pretends to be Julien's son and the primary objection people have to this is that Mort is older than Julien; a later episode implies he is at least in his ''50s''.

** ''Film/TheEternals'' themselves [[TimeAbyss are eons old]], way older even the aforementioned Thor but appearance-wise most of them look like thirty to fifty-somethings with even Sprite who looks a teenager being similarly as old as the rest of them. [[spoiler: Though by the end Sprite decides to age normally.]]

* In ''Film/StepKids'', the teen protagonist's dad is "almost 40, looks like he's 30, thinks like he's 20, and [[ManChild acts like he's 10]]. [[DeadpanSnarker He's fun to play boardgames with.]]"

** Similarly Steve Rogers aka Captain America (along with Bucky) due to [[HumanPopsicle being frozen]] in the 1940s still looks youthful despite chronologically being in his 70s by the time of ''Film/TheAvengers2012''. [[spoiler: Averted in ''[[Film/AvengersEndgame Endgame]]'' as Steve finally looks his age as through TimeTravel he lived a peaceful life with Peggy. Though this trope is still in effect as the considering the years spent on ice, Steve is approximately 251 years old, way older than he looks]]. There’s some FridgeBrilliance reflecting that Tony Stark being 42 at time he met Cap and Thor and was by far the youngest of the trio despite looking older than them (it helps Robert Downey Jr. is his 50s).

** In ''Film/SoloAStarWarsStory'', Han learns how old Chewbacca is.

* Used as a RunningGag throughout ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'' with Lightning [=McQueen=], who at the time of the film, is now a 7-time Piston Cup racing legend. Characters often say he's old, [[BerserkButton which offends him]], despite the fact he still looks pretty young since [[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} day one]], even having the same young voice. On top of that, Smokey and the Thomasville Legends are among those who tease him, yet they are ''much'' older than he is.
