The problem with current pic is that it depict the more specific subtrope Big Shadow, Little Creature. In order to avoid the misplacing of examples (had to move some already), I suggest this Goofy pic for Big Little Man. For Big Shadow, Little Creature we can still decide to keep current or replace it with current from Big Little Man.

Opening.

Farquaad from Shrek may also be a good option.

The Goofy pic is good pending other suggestions.

The Goofy suggestion is much better than the current, though I think I'd prefer a straight example over an inversion.

[up][up]Yeah, not seeing any size indication from that pic

The perspective in the photograph makes her appear bigger than she is. It is a form of Depth Deception and also this trope.

Is there any variant of Big Little Man that doesn't have its own subtrope, then?

Bumping after a few days to see if anyone has any suggestions... or any thoughts on the current suggestions.

Good enough; it's up and tagged. I potholed it to WesternAnimation.Goofy; does it need to go to a specific work?

Caption?

Do we want to discuss swapping in the old pic on Big Shadow, Little Creature?

It's kinda cluttered and the little creature looks messy.

Yeah, I think I prefer the Star Trek pic for Big Shadow, Little Creature.

[up][up] Doesn't seem that messy to me, though. I'm also thinking that at least the current one manages to get the point across in one panel/frame.

I agree with Willbyr. While it's nice to have a single-panel image, it's even nicer to have one that you don't have to squint at.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

I'm voting to close this thread and start a new one about the discussion for Big Shadow, Little Creature.
