Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'': [=WW2=] Italy setting withstanding, a lot of characters tend to make animated hand gestures, especially Sebastian the Cricket since his mouth is barely visible and his face has a more limited range of emotions and thus he makes up for it by gesturing a lot whenever he speaks to appear more lively and expressive.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Katara, while mocking Sokka for his big ears, decides it is necessary to mime "elephant ears" using her hands, along with pointing dramatically as if she has an [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney objection]]. Apparently, this is a genetic trait: later, in season two, Sokka gets a little... intense while cheering and booing during the earthbending tournament.

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Lelouch Lamperouge, being a LargeHam, does it all the time. Even when simply removing a contact lens, [[spoiler:which coincidentally unlocks his Geass power, but that's details]]. At some point, C.C. asks him why he needs to be so theatrical when he uses his Geass, and he tells her to shut up. It should be obvious to C.C. and the audience; if he's only exposing his eye during the instant of one command, a flourish would draw the required attention to that eye.

* Having mo-capped cutscenes, the characters in ''VideoGame/FaustTheSevenGamesOfTheSoul'' are really prone to this, but it's especially noticeable with Mephisto, whose frantic arm movements and occasional twirling ''really'' don't match his voice actor's calm, suave delivery.
