History Main / ShoppingMontage

* WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Whale of a Birthday" there's a montage of [=SpongeBob=] buying birthday presents for Pearl at the mall, where he gets the gift ideas by following Pearl around.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

** Mallow, Lana, and Lillie drag Ash along for one in Episode 20 of the ''Sun & Moon'' anime. Kiawe, Sophocles, and even the Rotom Dex made up excuses to leave, but the girls roped Ash in before he could come up with one.

* Happens often in ''Manga/GirlFriends'' as the main characters go shopping for [[CostumePorn beautiful clothes]].

* ''Film/BlankCheck'', Preston does this after cashing the blank check to stuff his mansion with toys, while "Money (That's What I want)" plays in the background.

* ''Film/PrettyWoman'': It's the movie's [[SignatureScene most remembered scene]], when Vivian goes shopping on Rodeo Drive, with the help of Edward; she cleans up and buys lots of expensive clothes, and with her new look, she goes back to the store that rejected her and parades her multiple shopping bags to the store clerks who mistreated her.

** If they take a guy along, he'll be the one charged with carrying them, typically in the form of a mountain of boxes. He'll also tend to be rather bored or perturbed by the amount of money being spent.

* One of the many, [[BrokenBase MANY]] sources of fan anger in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' was a ShoppingMontage centering on Kira and his friends, run parallel to a pitched battles in which Shinn and ''his'' friends were participating, which many fans felt made the ''Archangel'' crew look selfish and lazy.

* Something like this was also done in ''Life Size'', although Lindsay Lohan's character's father also came along. This was when Eve first came and they were at the mall.

* The Dick Powell film ''Gold Diggers of 1935'' contains one of the earliest examples of this trope.

* ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures'' has this in "The Mark of the Berzerker, part 2" but given a rare GenderFlip with Clyde and his... up until this point... DisappearedDad. Also, it would be better to call it a ''stealing'' montage because [[spoiler:Clyde's father was using a AppliedPhlebotinum alien mind control pendant to convince shop assistants to give away stuff for free, and to stop Clyde from being bothered by this.]]

* Characters posing in a variety of outfits.

* Used as the set-up for one of the subplots in the "Rhapsody in Blue" stage of ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}''.

* ''Film/PrettyWoman'': It's the movie's most remembered scene, when Vivian goes shopping on Rodeo Drive, with the help of Edward; she cleans up and buys lots of expensive clothes, and with her new look, she goes back to the store that rejected her and parades her multiple shopping bags to the store clerks who mistreated her.
