9
10	A {{Camera Trick\|s}} where, in order to show focus on a particular thing, two black bars will emerge from the top and bottom of the screen in order to bring about some drama by changing the aspect ratio, {{Letterbox}}-like. Often done with eyes in order to showcase the intense stare of our hero, who, nine times out of ten is staring down his opponent, but not exclusively. Said bars are often accompanied by a nifty sound effect. Possibly originates from attempts by producers of TV to recreate the same intense effect that Creator/SergioLeone achieved with his massive closeups in his SpaghettiWestern films -- which don't work so well in non-widescreen shots.
11
12	Sometimes, an element of the scene, such as part of the character being zoomed in one, might "pop out" of the letterboxing and end up going over the black bars. This effect creates the illusion of a 3-D picture; see FrameBreak.
13
14	Seen often in {{Animesque}} shows or other animated programs. See also AspectRatioSwitch, ExtremeCloseUp, EyeCam, EyeTake, IrisOut, OneEyedShot, and SuperMovePortraitAttack. Not to be confused with EyeScream.

16	----
17	!!Examples:
18	[[foldercontrol]]
19
20	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
21	* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'''s Vegeta does this when he sees Trunks fall.
22	* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Happens in one of the picture dramas. However, this being [[{{omake}} the picture dramas]], it's for comedy rather than drama.
23	[[/folder]]
24
25	[[folder:Asian Animation]]
26	* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'':
27	** The screen briefly focuses on Yaya's glare with a letterbox right before she [[MegatonPunch punches Probe skyward]] in episode 3.
28	** After Gopal hits [=BoBoiBoy=] Thunderstorm in the back of the head with a frying pan, the latter sharply turns his head and glares at him, the sound of a drawn sword accompanying the black bars from the top and bottom about his eyes.
29	* ''Animation/{{Mechamato}}'': When Amato shoots a Mechazooka blast towards the bad robot infiltrating Pian's house, a zigzag-shaped letterbox closes around his eyes before he deflects the shot, and then [=MechaBot=] [[OhCrap is frightened to]] recognise him as the fearsome Janitoor.
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Comic Books]]
33	* ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'': This happens when ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} finds [[spoiler:[[Franchise/{{Superman}} her cousin's]] corpse]], and the screen zeroes in on her DeathGlare.
34	* ''ComicBook/{{Scion}}'': This happens right before a fight between Ethan and Exeter.
35	* There's a nice example in ''ComicBook/TeenTitans,'' during the famous ''[[ComicBook/TheJudasContract Judas Contract]]'' storyline. In the first "book," we were seeing things through Terra's eyes, and towards the end of the issue, when Terra accidentally slips up a ''little'' (she basically beat Changeling[[note]]Beast Boy[[/note]] senseless during an exercise), she barely managed to cover it up with most of the Titans... but [[http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e56/tbondurant/tott_42_p21.jpg not with Raven.]]
36	* ''ComicBook/DeCapeEtDeCrocs'' does it with Don Lope and Ermine as he accidentally insults her. Played like a western, with the background music suddenly stopping.
37	* ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': Peter is ignoring the teacher, and thinking about the killer of Uncle Ben. Things get more and more near his face, up to a full Eyedscreen.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Films — Animation]]
41	* ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' does this during Buck's daydream of fighting a group of outlaws.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
45	* ''Film/TheCasino'' has the moment where the protagonist observes dice being rolled in a gambling scene, which alternates between close-up on the dice and his eyes. He's making an observation that the game is being rigged with loaded dice.
46	* Following in the footsteps of ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' in 2008, many films ''invert'' this for their IMAX releases by including select scenes in a taller aspect ratio (between 1.44:1 and 1.90:1) while the general release is in a more standard aspect ratio (generally around 2.35:1) for the whole film. Generally the "opened up" versions are used on home video, but this is not always the case.
47	** Other examples of this include most entries in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse from ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' onward, ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'', ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'', and ''Film/{{Interstellar}}''.
48	* ''Film/EventHorizon'': Played with to horrifying effect, where [[spoiler: you get a wonderful close-up of Sam Neill's eye sockets after he has gouged his eyes out, while he bellows and rants like only a possessed Sam Neill can.]] Not exactly this trope, because of course the film is already in a letterbox, and possibly an homage to those old {{Spaghetti Western}}s.
49	* The {{Wuxia}} movie, ''Film/TheInvincibleFist'', constantly use this shot right before huge action sequences. Whenever the camera focuses on the eyes of named characters - either the protagonist, the CoDragons, or the main villain, that's an indication that shit's about to get real in the next scene.
50	* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'': Constantly done with Frodo's already-huge eyes, Creator/SergioLeone-style.
51	* ''Film/PitchBlack'' has the camera closing up on the eyes of Riddick and John, in a dimly-lit cave, to and forth rapidly moments before they decide to duke it out.
52	* Done in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' with General Grievous when he's threatening Obi Wan. Loses some impact in the pan-and-scan cut of the film, though--his eyes are spread wide apart compared to a human character, so the camera ends up centered on his forehead, with his actual eyes ''just'' off screen.
53	* The climax of ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'' has quick shots of the three main characters' eyes just before the end of their MeleeATrois.
54	* A couple of brief shots in ''Film/KillBill'', during the Bride's running duel against the Crazy 88.
55	* ''Film/TheWitches1990'': This effect happens frequently during the witches' meeting: not as a camera trick, but Luke is hiding behind a folding screen, peering through a horizontal gap, and only his eyes are visible.
56	* Variation: Instead of zooming in on the eyes with black letterbox cropping, ''Film/TheBostonStrangler'' kept the shot stationary and used a black zoom-in crop of the shot to Creator/TonyCurtis's eyes to hint at a sort of Jekyll and Hyde switch whenever his character was about to murder someone.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
60	* An InUniverse version in ''Series/BlackSails'' when Blackbeard is introduced, as a [[AffablyEvil mildly-spoken man]] sitting with his back to the camera and the men who have turned up with drawn swords to have a word with him. As the tension increases we get a shot of his eyes reflected in the mirror strip on his writing desk, before his FaceRevealingTurn.
61	* PlayedForLaughs ''beautifully'' in ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' to hide the fact that [[spoiler: Jake is high and accidentally said his internal monologue out loud in "The Big House, Part 2."]]
62	* ''Series/CSIMiami'' occasionally does this to focus on the Miami skyline.
63	* ''Series/DarkAngel'': Used in-universe by Logan in his broadcasts as Eyes Only. Also doubles as a way to avoid facial recognition identifying him.
64	* ''Series/LastWeekTonightWithJohnOliver'' used this when John is going to [[StuffBlowingUp detonate]] a sign saying 2020 in [[https://youtu.be/EzlCOg-37hI?t=520 the Season 7 finale]]. This was because John claims it was a bad year.
65	* It's used between Nori and the Stranger in ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' when Nori tries to calm him down, and the camera shows close-ups only of their eyes while they stare at each other, to conjure that she is gaining slowly his trust.
66	* Used occasionally in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (and thus ''Franchise/PowerRangers'') as part of the CallingYourAttacks sequence.
67	** ''Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger'' and ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm'' do this with nearly every mecha finisher.
68	** ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'' had a rare practical effects version where they cast light over the actor's eyes while the rest of them was incomplete shadow. As they would be morphed at the time, the light cast would be in the shape of their respective visors as a sort of inside-the-helmet view.
69	* The ''Series/{{Tatort}}'' intro.
70	* ''Series/OddSquad'':
71	** Used in "Bad Lemonade" just before Oscar and Odd Todd face off.
72	** "Olive and Otto in Shmumberland" has this happening to the factory worker just before he defeats Dr. Soup by eating his chowder ammo.
73	** Otis and Evil Ninja both get these in "The Ninja Situation" before they battle against each other for the {{MacGuffin}}-inator.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Video Games]]
77	* The sequence that plays before each cross-examination in the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series looks like this except with ''two'' sets of eyes, one from each lawyer, glaring at each other. In ''Investigations'', this happens before every testimony/argument, so there are Eyedscreens even for people like [[CluelessDetective Gumshoe]], [[UnluckyEverydude Larry Butz]] and [[ShrinkingViolet Lauren Paups]].
78	* [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Bang]] does this when he goes into SuperMode.
79	* Used in ''Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus'', when you do [[LimitBreak Chain Bursts]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8ETrPtm4OA#t=1m13s and when the bosses activate their Hi-Ougi]].
80	* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has this happen in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' as the Critical Hit indicator, but without the black bars on either side. ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'' recreates it.
81	* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear XX #Reload'' at every pre-battle intro sequence where portraits of both opponents get cropped down to the area of their eyes.
82	* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon [=DS/DS Cute=]'' uses these extensively in cut scenes.
83	* Used in the ''[[SingleStrokeBattle Samurai Kirby]]'' mode of ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''.
84	* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
85	** The ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' feature a closeup on Link's eyes in the opening sequence.
86	** The non-eye variation is used in all 3D games when Z-targeting.
87	** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' uses a fake 2.35:1 aspect ratio during cutscenes. In cutscenes that transition seamlessly to gameplay, the fake letterbox bars slide off the screen, revealing the eyedscreen effect.
88	** ''Videogame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity''. The character icons in the game's selection menu focus on the characters' faces, specifically their eyes. Those with smaller faces have their whole faces visible in the icon bar, but normal-sized and large characters only have their eyes visible with this effect.
89	* ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'':
90	** ''Citadel'' — When Samantha Traynor meets her space-chess arch enemy, we suddenly get dramatic letterbox close-ups of their death glares, complete with musical stings. Then, if you take the Renegade option:
91	--->'''Shepard:''' Specialist?\
92	'''Traynor:''' Commander?\
93	'''Shepard:''' ''[close-up]'' ''Kick her ass.''\
94	'''Traynor:''' Roger that.
95	** And if Shepard is [[GayOption romancing her, we get this bit:]]
96	--->'''Shepard:''' I'm only going to say this once, Traynor. ''[close-up]'' My shower is for winners.\
97	'''Traynor:''' Oh, that's cold. All right. She's going down.
98	* When Ocelot and Big Boss are about to duel in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', as an homage to Creator/SergioLeone.
99	* ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'': Miis will get these the first time they use a skill or personality quirk.
100	* The opening sequence of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'' does this in rapid succession with the main eight characters.
101	* A common breed of SuperMovePortraitAttack in the ''VideoGame/{{Tales\|Series}}'' series.
102	* The ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' series:
103	** In ''Under the Knife 2'' before an operation, this happens with Derek, showing him move his hand closer to his glasses.
104	** Shown on the Wii Channel of New Blood with Markus, Valerie, and Elena.
105	* A staple of the cinema scenes in the ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' NES trilogy.
106	* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
107	** ''VideoGame/Persona3'' uses this sometimes when a Persona is about to hit a weak point with a spell or make a critical hit with a physical attack.
108	*** The {{Superboss}} does this ''before'' the fight, indicating how much trouble you're in.
109	*** When fighting Strega or [[spoiler: your fellow party members]] they do this on the first turn as they summon their persona.
110	** ''VideoGame/Persona4'' also does this. You know you're in trouble when [[spoiler: Adachi does this, revealing he has a Persona.]]
111	*** ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' instead uses an eyedscreen to highlight that the character shown in it has entered [[CriticalStatusBuff Awakening]] (or that a Shadow-type character has entered [[SuperMode Shadow Frenzy]] in ''Ultimax'').
112	** ''VideoGame/Persona5'' "tears" strips of paper out of the screen to reveal characters' eyes both when they perform critical attacks with their persona and when they're having a particularly emotional moment in a cutscene.
113	*** The LegacyBossBattle DLC in ''Royal'' against the previous two protagonists use their original versions under the same conditions.
114	* Done in the (brief) intro of ''VideoGame/SonicBattle'', with all the storyline characters.
115	* ''VideoGame/Tekken5: Dark Resurrection'' has these in Kuma and Panda's endings. In Kuma's ending [[spoiler: it showed this instance seconds before he pushes the button that opens a trap door under his visitor (in this instance, his owner Heihachi)]]. Panda's has two; [[spoiler: one when she opens the trap door under Kuma, and the second where Xiaoyu unwittingly opens the one under Panda]].
116	* Used in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' to signify when a character's special power is activated.
117	* ''VideoGame/Zone66'': The opening cinematic starts off as a very narrow rectangle of the actual footage, with black bars taking up a full two-thirds of the screen.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Web Animation]]
121	* Done from time to time in the ''WebAnimation/FloatingHands'' webtoons.
122	* Franchise/{{Godzilla}} does this in the ''UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny'' [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/285267 video]].
123	* Happened near the end of the ''WebAnimation/WeeblAndBob'' [[http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/hentai.html episode "Hentai"]] when we zoom in on the characters' eyes.
124	* Parodied in ''[[http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badidea Bad Idea]]'', where it's applied to a fetid zombie with a dislocated eyeball.
125	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcIlpeaR48I Used in this installment]] of ''WebVideo/AvatarTheAbridgedSeries''.
126	* ''WebAnimation/BananananaNinja'' uses this frequently. [[http://www.banana-ninja.com/episodes/BananaShopOfHorrorsPt3.html (Example)]]
127	* The ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' cartoon "Marshmallow's Last Stand" ([[OldShame no longer on the site]]) featured this, complete with the accompanying musical track from ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''.
128	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cABkgE56mEI "Go ahead...make my day." "Octorok!"]]
129	* The original versions of ''Webanimation/RedVsBlue'' had black bars added to hide the ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'' and ''VideoGame/Halo2'' HeadsUpDisplay (the remasters lacked them for using the PC version, which had the option to turn off the HUD). Season 15 also had a case where a cameraman said "I just discovered the anamorphic setting on my camera! This is gonna look epic!", so cue the black bars, along with an EnnioMorriconePastiche!
130	* Ren gets one in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1TJ5YA3jfw&t=4m23s before (eventually) exploding a gigantic snake with his barehand.]]
131	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''
132	** ''WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocksShorts'', "Guitar Centered":
133	*** First Rainbow Dash, when she accepts to duel for the guitar, has a close-up on her eyes framed by black bands.
134	*** Then Trixie, during the shred-off, by mean of a horizontal SplitScreen with her eyes in the middle.
135	** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsSunsetsBackstagePass'': When Pinkie asks Sunset if she's seen anyone ''evil'' at the festival, her face is framed by black bars.
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:Webcomics]]
139	* [[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20090201 This installment]] of ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo''.
140	* All the time in ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}''. Once with a squash.
141	* In ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' this is a visual cue that someone's Great Curse is acting up.
142	* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' really took a liking to these shots in season two. [[http://img.batoto.net/comics/2012/06/20/t/read4fe25a1a21c4a/img000018.jpg See?]]
143	* Parodied in ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'', where Isaac [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-5-page-24 does it]] himself, with [[DiegeticVisualEffects a pair of black notebooks]].
144	-->'''[[OnlySaneMan Max]]:''' ...[[LampshadeHanging What are you doing?]]\
145	'''Issac:''' Letterboxing. It's [[RuleOfCool dramatic]].
146	* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', this effect is achieved twice over with [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2014-11-18 Tedd and Luke squinting at each other.]]
147	[[/folder]]
148
149	[[folder:Web Videos]]
150	* When {{WebVideo/Woolie\|Versus}} fought [[TheRival GreatBlackOtaku]], as shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEcUT5YSZPE here]].
151	[[/folder]]
152
153	[[folder:Western Animation]]
154	* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'', pictured above, does this all the frickin' time. Heck, you can't even get through the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBW4SWWdFs opening theme]]'' without being assaulted by this trope.
155	** And by "assaulted by this trope", we mean that ''most'' of the opening consists of this.
156	* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' uses this at least once an episode. Often, the series would fit multiple of such shots into a single frame and then follow up with fights contained within each one in order to maximize the amount of action per scene.
157	* The first episode of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' shows Dib's and Zim's eyes so as to express their confrontation.
158	* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' in "Car Alarm", with focus on Jim's and Tim's faces to emphasis their ItsPersonal statement.
159	* The 2003 ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|2003}}'' series does this all the time, sometimes combining two characters' eye screens in one frame. It also has the zooming black bar effect during dramatic moments and virtually all commercial breaks.
160	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' glories in this. The title card itself is an Eyedscreen. This was parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' episode "Samurai Quack". When this happens to [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Dodgers]] (playing Jack), he notices the effect and actually tries to push out the black bars.
161	* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'':
162	** In "Pick a Nose", both Fanboy and Chum Chum have one.
163	** Seen on Boog in "Fanboy in the Plastic Bubble" as he prepares "the H-bop".
164	** Used for an entire scene in "A Very Brrr-y Icemas" as the boys are confronting Yo and Lupe.
165	* Shows up in ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'' from time to time.
166	* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Unfair ScienceFair", Candace and her rival Wendy use this trope in emphasizing their competition.
167	** In "Doofapus", Both Doofenshmirtz and Perry have one before they fight each other.
168	** Skip to 1:30 in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXip9I3Ybiw this video]]" for an example in motion.
169	* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'':
170	** Ami employs this trope in the episode "In The Cards", while staring down Yumi in a card game, mixed with her InnerMonologue.
171	** It is used again in "Spaced Out" to emphasize Yumi's intense stare.
172	* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'' in "The Mystery of Micchu Pachu", Kuzco used this trope against an anteater skeleton [[spoiler:which was actually an old man in a costume]].
173	* ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfQuest'' does this a lot in relation to Quest. Normally when he's complaining about how much he hates something. And seeing that he hates just about everything (except for Albert)...
174	* Occasionally shows up in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''.
175	** One occasion is notable for being done with the scenery - the character is looking through a slit in a door.
176	* Done at least once in the animated version of ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'', like every other [[TheWestern western]] trope.
177	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' "Ricardio the Heart Guy", This trick shows up when Finn says that Ricardio is "up to something."
178	* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': Used when we first see Iron Man powering Up
179	* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' Phantom Limb in "Victor Echo November".
180	* ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' with Aerrow in "The Key".
181	* Brutally parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/YamRoll'' -- the letterbox effect gets smaller and smaller until you can hardly tell what it's focusing on.
182	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
183	** Used in Episode 7 "Dragonshy" when the Mane Cast is preparing for confront the dragon.
184	** Chief Thunderhooves of the buffalo tribe uses the effect several times in "Over a Barrel".
185	** In "Flight to the Finish", when [[AlphaBitch Diamond Tiara]] gets the idea to shatter Scootaloo's confidence by mocking her flight problems, the screen shifts to focus on her eyes with Scootaloo's wings reflected in them.
186	** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2]]", Tirek gets this [[spoiler:when he tells Discord YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness]].
187	** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]", a slanted one over Bon Bon's eyes concludes her big revelation to Lyra.
188	* Parodied to hell and back in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'' where various characters do this when plotting something - then promptly note how cramped it is, take their hands out, and push the bars back to the ends of the screen. The bars get thinner and thinner to the point, by the end of the episode physically squishing Yin and Yang between them from the ''horizontal'' sides.
189	* In ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Dipper invokes this when confronting Rumble [=McSkirmish=] in "Fight Fighters", using two planks of wood.
190	* This was done in one action scene in ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange''.
191	* In the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episodes "Homeland Insecurity" and "Failure is Not a Factory-Installed Option", the show is interrupted by dramatic scenes of people getting a hold of Roger's golden turd, which had the black bars on the top and bottom to give it a cinematic feel.
192	* ''Animation/{{Pucca}}'': Happens regularly in episodes where Tobe is the main antagonists. In one episode, the bars appeared on the left and right sides of the screen instead of top and bottom as usual and it's revealed Tobe's minions were responsible for that mistake. Tobe was upset for that.
193	* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/RexTheRunt''. Bad Bob watches a standoff between a boxing coach and a group of unruly pigeons in the style of a spaghetti western, which is framed in widescreen, because he's watching through the letterbox of his front door.
194	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' does this in "The Fish Bowl" after Patrick knocks over the bucket of sand [=SpongeBob=] was counting, causing [=SpongeBob=] to lose his patience.
195	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' Has this happen twice in "Selfie Improvement" both times being Lori.
196	* Done in the ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' episode "The Matchmaker" when Sylvia uses a fight with Something-the-So-and-So to distract Wander from delivering a love letter to [[GreaterScopeVillain Dominator]], but he immediately snaps out seconds later and politely declines it.
197	* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'': When Lt. Pug decides to face his nemesis in "Howl Noon," the scene is presented in letterbox widescreen, but then switches box to the normal aspect ratio when Cadpig (who is chained to Pug) pulls them underground to hide.
198	* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Used in "Racing on Sunshine" when the camera does a closeup on Mitchell's eyes during the race.
199	* ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'': In "[[Recap/KampKoralS1E15HillFuSunsOutFunsOut Hill-Fu]]", before Bubble Bass fights Sandy, two black bars appear from the screen to highlight him glaring at Sandy, and the same then happens with Sandy glaring at him.
200	* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': In "[[Recap/MollyOfDenaliS1E4FirstFishAMazeIngSnow First Fish]]," during Grandpa Nat's retelling of his first catch, the camera narrows on his younger self's eyes while squaring off with a giant fanged salmon.
