* Non-villainous example in ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheSteelTroops'', when Riruru, the reformed RobotGirl spy, decides to sentence herself to ImprovisedImprisonment after her HeelFaceTurn. Doraemon and friends obviously doesn't want to be too harsh on her, having becoming attached to Riruru at this point, so Doraemon instead use his [[ShrinkRay Shrink Light]] to turn Riruru doll-sized and put her inside Shizuka's birdcage.

-->'''Principal Prickly:''' [[spoiler:I'll let you in on a little secret, Detweiler. [[UsedToBeASweetKid Every adult you've ever known was a kid at some time in his life]]. You think we don't remember summer vacation? Riding bikes down by the creek, catching polliwogs in a jar, camping out under the stars? Well, you're wrong! Some days, I sit there in my office, looking out at you kids on the playground and I think, 'They don't know how good they got it. In a few years, they're all going to be grownups like me and all those good times will just be memories for them, too.' So go ahead. Put a whoopie-cushion in my chair. Cover my carpet with fake vomit. Make fun of my big, saggy butt. But don't you ever say I don't care about summer vacation, ([[ManlyTears voice breaking]]) 'cause those memories are the last part of childhood I got left.]]
