Added example(s), even though the game doesn't have a page yet

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/VillageLife'', your villagers grow from babies until they die of old age, but resident WitchDoctor Maya never seems to age at all. It's unknown if her magic keeps her ageless.

None

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/WhatsLoveGotToDoWithIt1993'': The lives of Ike and Music/Tina Turner from the late 1950s to the early 1980s are depicted in the film. And aside from hairstyle and wardrobe changes, neither Creator/LaurenceFishburne nor Creator/AngelaBassett look any older over the course of the film. By the time Ike and Tina's children are grown, they look the same age as their parents.

** The most triumphant example is probably Zazu, who presumably had been employed by Mufasa for sometime before the series began (and in earlier script drafts and the stage musical, was confirmed to have been babysitter for ''Mufasa himself''), but from Simba's presentation ceremony as a cub at the start of the 1st film, to his full-grown daughter finding a mate and inheriting the kingdom at the end of the 2nd. He hasn't aged a day. However, the lifespan of a wild lion is about 10 years, where wild hornibills can live for up to 45 years. He probably still has at least one or two more generations left in him before he turns gray.

Not quite an example, as the actors wore old age makeup to give their characters more wrinkles in 1985


* ''Film/BackToTheFuture1'' does this backwards.
** In 1985 Mr Strickland is the bald, bow-tie wearing disciplinarian of Hill Valley High School. When Marty sees him in 1955, he is of course thirty years younger - but looks exactly the same.
--->'''Marty:''' Jesus, didn’t that guy ever have hair?
** Doc Brown is a gray-haired man with EinsteinHair in 1985. In 1955, he has slightly blonder and curlier hair, but is otherwise the same.

** Most noticeable in the time-skip sequence when Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa are walking across the log, Simba goes from lion cub to adolescent to adult. Timon and Pumbaa don't change at all. It takes around 2-5 years for a lion's mane to grow. Nor do they visibly age at all from Kiara's birth to her adulthood in the sequel.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' - After the seven-year skip, only the kids are shown to have changed to adults. The only exceptions are Ganondorf and to a small extent Ingo, who received a new costume.

** Generally played straight in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'': While all of the students at the Officer's Academy visibly grow older during this game's TimeSkip (5 years in this case), the teachers, knights, and other staff who have worked there, along with other adults outside the academy, do not. The only exception is [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Cyril]], who was 14 during Part I, and in the case of [[MysteriousWaif Flayn]] and [[SternTeacher Seteth]], [[spoiler:they are ultimately justified in that they're actually slow-aging [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Nabateans]] like Rhea.]] An egregious case would be [[ColdSniper Shamir]], as she's 25 during Part I, but students close to her in age (The DLC unit [[BoisterousBruiser Balthus]] starts ''older'' than her at 26, for one) all age while she doesn't.
