* Most uses of the Miniaturizer by the ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'' avert this trope's down sides, being a routine means for them to get up close and personal with small animals. Occasionally the Kratts and their companions, or even the ''Tortuga'' itself, play this straight, either due to them accidentally losing access to the device in question, or to a villain trapping them while shrunken.

* Used for two schemes by the bad guys in ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'':

The plan backfires when Albert accidentally swallows the ray, his burping fits causing a growing/shrinking war between them and Rufus. Rufus and the stone are changed back, but the still shrunken Urpneys, outsized and cornered, are forced to retreat so Urpgor can reverse the spell, with the threat Albert will eat them if they don't leave.
** "The Dream Beam Invasion" has Urpgor once again using a shrink device on the Urpney troops, though this time so they can slip into the dreams themselves and sabotage them. When the heroes catch them in the act, Rufus, Amberley and Albert follow suit and shrink into the dream to inflict some payback. Unfortunately for them, Frizz and Nug's spell wears off while doing such, making them giant to the still-shrunken Noops and terrifying them into retreating this time, in what is perhaps the only time the two [[TeamRocketWins got the last laugh on the heroes]].

After Eek and Sharky remove the raisin, the president sneezes them out of his nose. They did grow back when they eventually fly out the window and crash into the ground.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':

Problem is, the undead Eddie is AxCrazy and out for revenge on Timmy and his parents, all three of them having had a role in Eddie starving to death.
** There's also the episode "Boy Toy" where Timmy wishes he could have one last adventure with his Crimson Chin doll, upon which Cosmo and Wanda shrink him down to toy size. Much of this episode is very reminiscint of the movie ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids''.
* Spoofed in the ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' episode "The Incredible Shrinking Fanboy", where Fanboy only ''thinks'' he's shrinking, after the flower where he marks his growth grows overnight. {{Y|andere}}o uses this to her advantage, giving him a helmet with magnifying lenses to help with the illusion while she takes Chum-Chum to her room to [[AndCallHimGeorge play with]].

* ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'' did a shrinking episode in "World's Tiniest Heroes", where they were able to reverse the effect with help from Ant-Man.

* The ''WesternAnimation/VBirds'' are shrunk to fit into the Dance Machine as part of their exile to Earth.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' cartoon has a shrink-ray gun Dr. Venture designed being sold at his yard sale.

** The shrink-ray has reappeared a couple of times. In "Handsome Ransom", a shrunken Sgt. Hatred stows away in a briefcase of money (complete with Benjamin Franklin camouflage) to foil a ransom scheme. The raygun fails to regrow him at the critical moment. In "The Diving Bell Vs. the Butter-Glider" the ray is used for a straight-up FantasticVoyagePlot.
** Then there is the case of Paul Entmann, a parody of Marvel's ComicBook/AntMan. He was accidentally shrunk to a few inches, ironically in an attempt to cure his also-accidental "[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever super-gigantism]]" (he was also known as Humongoloid). Then he was accidentally forgotten and locked away for thirty years in an evacuated fallout shelter, left to fend off ants with a sewing needle. For some reason, he remains tiny until accidentally killed by a rocking chair a few years after being freed, even though Dr. Venture's shrink ray [[FridgeLogic has a "grow" setting]] that has been known to actually work.
* The ''WesternAnimation/WildWestCowboysOfMooMesa'' episode "How the West was Shrunk" had Bat Blastagun and his gang shrink the C.O.W.-Boys (and subsequently the rest of Cowtown) using a shrink ray powered by a fragment of the comet that created Moo Mesa that was built for them by Dr. Wolfenstein.

* Practically every episode of ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'' features the brothers shrinking themselves so they can investigate the lives and environments of small animals. While it's usually just a convenience, on several occasions the Miniaturizer gets broken, lost or stolen while they're small, leaving them stuck in mini-form.
* In ''WesternAnimation/WunschPunsch'', The episode "Big Shrinking Spell" ivolves Bubonic and Trannia casting a spell that makes everyone (except the witch and wizard themselves) shrink whenever they touch liquid.
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' did both this and its opposite: Lead character Omi uses the [[ShrinkRay Changing Chopsticks]] and the [[ReverseThePolarity Reversing Mirror]] to make himself huge in order to defeat the giant Cyclops and loses. When he tries to go back to his normal size using the Changing Chopsticks only, Omi ends up much smaller than he normally is and can only shrink further. [[MagicAIsMagicA He needs the Reversing Mirror as well]] to fully restore himself to normal.
* In ''The All New WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} Hour'' short "The Incredible Shrinking Popeye", Popeye shrinks to the size of a mouse when he's exposed to a weed-shrinking mist in the park. It doesn't affect the flowers he's picked for Olive, who has invited him to dinner at her house.
* The ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' episode "''Funny We Shrunk the Adults''," is one where Dave and Miss Miller are shrunken by Simon's "matter compacting" ray. At the same time, the Chipmunks and some neighbor kids who they are trying to impress are wrecking the house with their rowdy playing and bringing in things like a circus, including the animals. In fact, it was the rowdy playing that made the shrink ray turn on and zap Dave in the first place.
** Inverted in an earlier episode with [[spoiler:Dave walking from a dream about him shrinking]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', Frylock invents a shrink ray to shrink down a huge microchip, which is eaten by Meatwad. Out of options on how to get the chip out of Meatwad, Frylock gets Shake to shrink him, but Shake abuses the ray for his own amusement.

* The ''WesternAnimation/AvengerPenguins'' episode "Big City Little City" had Caractacus P. Doom use a shrink ray on the Avenger Penguins.

* ''WesternAnimation/DefendersOfTheEarth'' has two episodes in which some of the regulars are shrunk.

And, in "The Carnival of Doctor Kalihari", the four oldest Defenders are exposed to a shrinking potion and face a race against time to find the antidote before they shrink away to nothing.
* The ''WesternAnimation/DrakPack'' episode "Dr. Dred is a Shrinker" featured the heroes Drak Jr., Frankie and Howler getting shrunk.
* Used for two schemes by the bad guys in ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'':
** In "The Shrinking Stone", Urpgor invents a ShrinkRay so the Urpneys can sneak into the Dreammaker's home unseen and then shrink the stone as well. The plan backfires when Albert accidentally swallows the ray, his burping fits causing a growing/shrinking war between them and Rufus. Rufus and the stone are changed back, but the still shrunken Urpneys, outsized and cornered, are forced to retreat so Urpgor can reverse the spell, with the threat Albert will eat them if they don't leave.
** "The Dream Beam Invasion" has Urpgor once again using a shrink device on the Urpney troops, though this time so they can slip into the dreams themselves and sabotage them. When the heroes catch them in the act, Rufus, Amberley and Albert follow suit and shrink into the dream to inflict some payback. Unfortunately for them, Frizz and Nug's spell wears off while doing such, making them giant to the still-shrunken Noops and terrifying them into retreating this time, in what is perhaps the only time the two [[TeamRocketWins got the last laugh on the heroes]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "[[Recap/DuckTalesS1E35MicroDucksFromOuterSpace Micro Ducks from Outer Space]]", Scrooge tries to use the alien ducks' ray to enlarge his gold, but it ends up shrinking him and the kids instead.

[[spoiler: It wears off after they hid from Sarah.]]
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' called "Honey, I Shrunk the Cat", both Eek and Sharky were accidentally shrunken down by Elmo the elk's shrinking machine. After a failed attempt to grow back to their normal sizes, Eek and Sharky put some astronaut suits on and go to a sick president's nostril and travel inside his head to get a raisin off his brain (despite growing a little bigger amount every single time). After Eek and Sharky remove the raisin, the president sneezes them out of his nose. They did grow back when they eventually fly out the window and crash into the ground.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'':
** The early Season 1 episode "Tiny Timmy!" had Timmy wishing to be small and [[FantasticVoyagePlot exploring Vicky's body]].
** There's also the episode "That's Life!" where he shrinks down to have a chat with his long-lost pet gerbil Eddie, who (not making this up) was accidentally brought BackFromTheDead as a zombie gerbil when Timmy wished for ''everything'' in his mom's garden to be full of life. Problem is, the undead Eddie is AxCrazy and out for revenge on Timmy and his parents, all three of them having had a role in Eddie starving to death.
** There's also the episode "Boy Toy" where Timmy wishes he could have one last adventure with his Crimson Chin doll, upon which Cosmo and Wanda shrink him down to toy size. Much of this episode is very reminiscint of the movie ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids''.
* Spoofed in the ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' episode "The Incredible Shrinking Fanboy", where Fanboy only ''thinks'' he's shrinking, after the flower where he marks his growth grows overnight. {{Y|andere}}o uses this to her advantage, giving him a helmet with magnifying lenses to help with the illusion while she takes Chum-Chum to her room to [[AndCallHimGeorge play with]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFour1967'' took this to a whole new level in "The Micro World of Doctor Doom", shrinking the heroes until they wound up in a subatomic universe, then shrinking them some more, making them tiny within ''that'' context.
* ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'' did a shrinking episode in "World's Tiniest Heroes", where they were able to reverse the effect with help from Ant-Man. Incidentally, it helps Reed win a bet with Ant-Man on who could shrink the furthest and gives him a chance to directly observe an atom.
* The ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' episode "Little Big Bat" had Prime Evil trick Belfry into using an amulet to shrink Jake, Eddie, and Tracy.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' episode, "Itty Bitty Fred", Fred develops a homemade reducing formula to help him lose weight, only for it to shrink him to mouse size.

The miniaturized Mystery Twins have to stop Gideon from using the shrink ray on their Grunkle Stan and stealing the Mystery Shack.
* Franchise/{{Godzilla}} of all characters, becomes a variation of this after being exposed to a Pink Fog in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheGodzillaPowerHour''.

** Then there is the case of Paul Entmann, a parody of Marvel's ComicBook/AntMan. He was accidentally shrunk to a few inches, ironically in an attempt to cure his also-accidental "[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever super-gigantism]]" (he was also known as Humongoloid). Then he was accidentally forgotten and locked away for thirty years in an evacuated fallout shelter, left to fend off ants with a sewing needle. For some reason, he remains tiny until accidentally killed by a rocking chair a few years after being freed, even though Dr. Venture's shrink ray [[FridgeLogic has a "grow" setting]] that has been known to actually work.

* In ''WesternAnimation/WunschPunsch'', The episode "Big Shrinking Spell" ivolves Bubonic and Trannia casting a spell that makes everyone (except the witch and wizard themselves) shrink whenever they touch liquid.
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' did both this and its opposite: Lead character Omi uses the [[ShrinkRay Changing Chopsticks]] and the [[ReverseThePolarity Reversing Mirror]] to make himself huge in order to defeat the giant Cyclops and loses. When he tries to go back to his normal size using the Changing Chopsticks only, Omi ends up much smaller than he normally is and can only shrink further. [[MagicAIsMagicA He needs the Reversing Mirror as well]] to fully restore himself to normal.
