History TomboyAndGirlyGirl / Film

* ''[[Film/NannyMcPhee Nanny McPhee Returns]]'' has Megsie's tomboy and Celia's girly girl. Although the difference is less obvious as the movie goes on and they get closer to each other.

* ''Film/TheBananaSplits'': Beth is a TankTopTomboy who is persistent in fighting the Splits, while Poppy is more perky (at least before [[spoiler:Thadd's death]]) and sensitive.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'' has Terk's tomboy (admits to knowing little about etiquette and is OneOfTheBoys). and Jane's girly girl (proper lady who practices decorum).

* Sisters Marianne and Dawn from ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic''. Dawn is boy-crazy and bubbly, being a {{Princess Classic}}. Marianne is a {{Tomboy Princess}} who would much rather be out sword fighting than going to a ball. Despite their differences, they care for each other greatly.

* ''{{Film/Anna}}'': Ironically, the much more feminine-looking Anna is the tomboy to Maude's girly girl by virtue of being a highly skilled assassin with little apparent interest in traditionally female fields whereas Maude is clearly into modeling, interior decoration and fancy parties. Maude also has the more {{tomboy}}ish look, with her buzz cut.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'' has the two main characters, Robyn Goodfellowe and Mebh Óg [=MacTíre=], who are a downplayed case of this. Tomboyish Mebh is a brash, boisterous FieryRedhead, and while Robyn is generally calmer and more feminine, she still has her own tomboyish qualities (like wanting to be a hunter like her father). This is also reflected in an [[https://mebyn.tumblr.com/post/634431693803126784/mebh-and-robyns-premiere-outfits-wolfwalkers-art official sketch]] made to celebrate the film's premiere and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wolfwalkers/images/a/ad/EvRKoLZXMAILp-p.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20210227232220 another official art]] when it was nominated for the Golden Globes, where Mebh wears a tuxedo while Robyn wears a dress.

* ''Film/GirlsLoveMagic'': Jamie is the Tomboy, a hard-edged woman who's a lesbian with a slightly androgynous look, usually wearing cut off shirts or tank tops. Maggie is the GirlyGirl, a dainty, demure woman with a very girlish tone of voice and charming naivete. They befriend each other, and then become lovers.

* The Goldstein sisters from the ''Film/FantasticBeasts'' are this. Tina is a tough, level headed cop who dresses in more practical and muted colors while usually wearing pants and Queenie is a flighty flirt who wears lots of skirts and pink. However in a twist on the trope, the tomboy is the prim and proper one and the girly girl is the one who's rebellious.

* ''Film/{{Blockers}}'': Kayla was brought up as one, though she oftentimes chafes at how she was raised as a clean-living, star athlete with tomboyish dress and mannerisms. Which is why she acts out by [[spoiler:experimenting with cigarettes, eagerly talking about getting drunk and high, sampling Connor's drug-laced concoctions, and initially acting sexually aggressive toward him... until she realizes she's not yet ready for sex with him after all.]] Meanwhile, her friends Julie and Sam are very feminine.
