* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': Princess Bubblegum for a few episodes when she is reverted into a thirteen-year-old. Although she is still Really700YearsOld, [[TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody her personality regresses along with her physical age.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', young Aanya became queen of Duren after the deaths of her mothers. Ezran also becomes king following the death of his father, king Harrow. While Aanya is a competent queen, and perfectly willing to stand up to the older pentarchs, both she and Ezran are still kids. Aanya is implied to have grown up quickly due to being in charge of a DeadlyDecadentCourt, while Ezran's head councilor is far more kind and understanding, recommending that he appoints a regent until he comes of age.
* As of the finale of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[spoiler: both the fourteen-year-old Azula and sixteen-year-old Zuko have possessed the mantle of Fire Lord.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'', the title character is crowned king of the elephants after he saves them all from an evil poacher, while he is still a child. In the books, he didn't become king until he was an adult.
* Because of the way things work in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', a child ''has'' to be leader of the organization. First in was Numbuh 274 until he turned thirteen (and traitor) and then it was Numbuh 362 for the rest of the series.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{King}}'': The rulers of Under have typically been children. Whoever moves into the house, goes under the bed in the room to Under, and emerges from the portal above the throne of Under is always made Under's new king.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Subverted in the season 8 finale. When Twilight and her friends need to travel far away for an emergency, Cozy Glow, Twilight's young assistant, promises to keep the school together without her. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Twilight leaves Starlight Glimmer, an adult, in charge instead]]. Despite Cozy being a HypercompetentSidekick, she's still just a child, and no adult would leave her in charge if there were any other choice. [[spoiler:Except the whole thing was a trick by Cozy to get rid of Twilight and take over the school. Once she gets rid of Starlight, she forges a note putting her in charge; while most of the students (who Cozy has been [[FalseFriend cultivating fake friendships with]]) find this perfectly logical, the Young Six point out how weird it is. And when Chancellor Neighsay shows up, who has always had a problem with Twilight, he takes over the school since clearly any adult who would leave a child in charge should never be in charge themselves. Cozy carefully manipulates the students into rioting against him, once again leaving her in charge]].

** A brief comment from Eclipsa implies that, due to her own mother's death, she became queen not much older than Moon. Of course, she lost the throne not long after due to the Magic High Commission imprisoning her for her crimes.
** [[spoiler:Star is forced to take the throne near the end of season 3 when her mother goes missing.
