* One ''CasperTheFriendlyGhost'' cartoon has Casper decide to visit the Man in the Moon. Being a ghost, he has no trouble flying to the Moon, but as he gets closer, the smiling cartoon face on the moon slowly fades into just being a bleak pattern of craters, and he arrives bitterly disappointed. Fortunately, the place turns out to be inhabited by little [[{{Lilliputians}} Lilliputian]] guys, so he makes some friends after all.

It's not even an object orbiting the planet outside the atmosphere, it's just floating above the Earth in the clouds.]]
