9* Rourke from the Disney film ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' is described as "never being surprised". This would include having folding fighter planes. Atlantians who manage to improbably restart ancient flying machines to create an aerial fighting force to pursue the plunderers are also featured. Fighter planes on an ''underground'' mission, no less. Fighter planes on an underground, ''underwater'' mission. That prepared-ness can be attributed to Whitmore, the Atlantis expedition's eccentric financer, who provided said expedition with: one truly titanic submarine (equipped with torpedo turrets, fighter subpods, and four escape subs), an enormous drill-on-wheels, the above folding fighter planes, an inflate-in-a-moment escape balloon, etc etc.
10* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Brave}}'', after [[spoiler:Merida's mom turns into a bear]], Merida returns to the witch's cottage. Said witch left various messages (as potions), and left one that said "If you are that red haired lass, the way to break the spell is: 'you must mend the bond torn by pride.'" Also applies as TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat trope.
11* In ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'', Allinol, a gas invented by Miles Axlerod which is used by the World Grand Prix racers, explodes when it comes into contact with an electromagnetic pulse; however, Lightning [=McQueen=] was the only racer who did not get affected by the pulse, because Sarge didn't trust Axlerod and swapped out [=McQueen's=] Allinol with Fillmore's organic biofuel so he's protected.
12* In ''WesternAnimation/Epic2013'' Queen Tara tells MK how to restore herself to normal size before she's even been shrunk, knowing that MK would follow her subsequent instruction to find Nim Galuu, and from him procure a record of that memory from the Queen's perspective so as to get the message.
13* Japeth from ''{{WesternAnimation/Hoodwinked}}''. The song "Be Prepared" is one long example of this trope:
14-->''But I got horns that open bottles, and I got horns that hold my keys''\
15''I got horns that when you turn 'em right, that help me watch TV''
16-->''I got horns that open pickle jars, and horns that come with hair''
17-->''I got horns that hang my other horns, I always come prepared''
18** To top it off, at the end of the number, Red and Japeth are in a mine cart that gets launched off the tracks and into the sky. Red escapes by turning her cloak into a parachute, and Japeth....a set of horns that have helicopter rotors built into them that he somehow managed to hide on the mine cart when we weren't looking.
19* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Edna designs each of the Parr family's suits to the wearer's powers. Since the infant Jack-Jack had yet to manifest any powers at that point, she went for a variety of "basics" that include comfortable fabric (to mind his infancy), roominess [[spoiler:(which would be useful when it turns out Jack-Jack has a minor HulkOut form)]], and being bulletproof and fireproof [[spoiler:(which would be useful when it turns out Jack-Jack has WreathedInFlames and ChromeChampion forms)]].
20-->'''Helen:''' "What on Earth do you think the baby will be doing?!"\
21'''Edna:''' "Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics."
22* WesternAnimation/MegaMind always loses to Metro Man, but has learned a lot from his mistakes because of that. In particular, this is demonstrated when he brings out a solid-copper shell to stop a new hero he created when things get a bit too dicey, since Metro Man claimed that copper was his one weakness just before he died. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for Mega Mind, Metro Man was lying so that he could fake his death and the copper shell only gets him a few seconds of safety.]]
23* [[FourStarBadass General W.R. Monger]] from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens''.
24-->'''Monger:''' ''[after their plane got blasted down by a huge alien fireball]'' This is why I ''always'' wear a parachute, lieutenant.
25* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration'' has a couple of examples.
26** Sunny Starscout keeps a drawer full of rubber bands for use in braiding her mane.
27** Phyllis Cloverleaf's company, Canterlogic, specializes in selling all manner of outlandish devices to protect the earth ponies of Maretime Bay against attacks by unicorns and pegasi. Her motto: "To be scared is to be prepared."
28* In ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', the guards of Far Far Away's castle not only have enough milk to melt the giant gingerbread soldier attacking them, but they have it ''on hand''. No mention of sending people to the kitchens to get it. Just gigantic kegs of milk, stored on their battlements in case they need it.
29* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'': Branch lives in a heavily fortified bunker, which ends up saving him from the invasion of Bergens (even though it was supposed to apparently keep Poppy out). He even says it word for word when he tells Poppy that he's got enough supplies for 10 years - 11 if he's prepared to drink his own sweat, which he is.
30* Priya from ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', has the foresight to keep extra deodorant and menstrual products on hand at school. Given that she and her friends are all thirteen and are either undergoing puberty or will be soon, it's a wise move. Alas, the plot is about Mei transforming into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited, so the group is forced to improvise anyway.
31* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', at [[spoiler:Fix-It Felix, Jr. and Calhoun]]'s wedding, the ''Hero's Duty'' soldiers (a ''hundred'' or so) are seen in the pews all pointing their guns at the church window in case of another Cybug attack.
