* ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing]]'': The realistic [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Jacky, Akira]], [[VideoGame/{{Shenmue}} Ryo Hazuki]], and [[VideoGame/CrazyTaxi B.D. Joe]] race against the cartoonish VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog and friends, [[VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall Aiai]], VideoGame/{{Billy Hatcher|AndTheGiantEgg}}, and more. They can also get SquashedFlat, hit with flying boxing gloves and missiles, and have other cartoonish things happen to them. [[VideoGame/JetSetRadio Beat]] may also count since he comes from a realistic-type game but with stylish graphics. Real-life racer Danica Patrick joins the party in ''All-Stars Racing Transformed''.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse''
** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' contains a weird, all-animated version of this with Spider-Ham. While the entire movie is animated, Spider-Ham is the only character who is treated as being a cartoon character in-universe, complete with ToonPhysics, which the other characters lack.
** ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'': There are a handful of scenes with cartoon characters interacting with live-action ones, to go with the heavy MediumBlending. Early on, The Spot has a short scene talking to [[Film/Venom2018 Mrs. Chen]]. In the Spider-Society base, a live-action version of The Prowler ([[MythologyGag played by]] Creator/DonaldGlover) is among the captured villains, and a few archived scenes from the Raimi Film/SpiderManTrilogy and Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries are shown as well.

* ''WebAnimation/SonicForHire'' had an episode where Sonic and Tails interact with the series' creators in live-action.
* ''[[WebAnimation/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': The video "Mario in real life!?" features Mario and several other characters (Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toad, [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Po]], [[spoiler:[=McShyGuy=]]] and Old Man) visiting IRL [=SMG4=]'s house via a portal between the real life and [=Project64=] dimensions. [[spoiler:At the end, [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Steve]] [[HereWeGoAgain brings back the portal and causes the Castle to end up in the Real World]].]]

* Shawn Keller's ''Guardians Of Pondonia'' uses this heavily, featuring in its first episode the main character (an animated WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic {{Expy}}) teleported to Earth and interacting with humans.

* The Website/PlatypusComix story ''Webcomic/TrueBelievers'' portrays such comic characters as Franchise/SpiderMan as actual people, and such editors as Creator/{{Joe|Quesada}} [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Quesadilla]] as both their bosses and their gods (any possible comic-world occurrence they write down instantly happens to the characters).

* German Punk Band Music/DieArzte filmed a video starring [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]].... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFAsYmvnRDU Watch it here.]]

* The upcoming 2023 film, Film/CoyotevsACME, will use this effect, although it is unknown if the Tunes will appear in 3D or 2D.

* The live broadcast of the UsefulNotes/{{Academy Awards|Ceremonies}} sometimes has cartoon characters as presenters. They almost always present the Best Animated Short award, although there's been exceptions (WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker for the Special Achievement Award to Creator/WalterLantz, WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead presenting Best Sound Effects, [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Edna Mode]] for Best Costume and {{Film/Ted}} for Best Sound Editing/Mixing). [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle and the Beast]] and [[WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle Chicken Little and Abby Mallard]] (the latter appearance had a ''hilarious'' lampshade of the HalfDressedCartoonAnimal trope where Abby made makeshift pants out of the envelope) are among those who have presented for Best Animated Short. Almost always, with a few exceptions, whenever animated characters present at the awards, their mouths are covered up by the envelope when announcing the winner. For the Best Animated Feature awards, the characters from the nominated films [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160715214907/http://maxtaroisheretoo.tumblr.com/post/79006596218/the-2006-oscars-are-real-and-this-happened-in-real are sometimes shown sitting in the audience]]. If those weren't enough, WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck ''co-hosted'' the 1957 ceremony!

* Non-character example: The 1988 movie ''Film/ChildsPlay'' uses this in its opening scene. The lightning strikes are clearly cartoonish.

* Full Force's "Ain't My Type Of Hype" features verses by a fictional rapper named E-Coff, who is apparently just one of the group members using a vocal effect - in the music video he's portrayed as a stylized, vaguely [[Music/PublicEnemy Flava Flav]]-eseque cartoon character; mostly instead of interacting with anything else, he just appears in a black bubble overlaid on live action footage, but he does briefly dance alongside the band, and also raps while leaning against a live action parking meter.

* ''WesternAnimation/TrollsWorldTour'': In Poppy and Branch's internal thoughts while brainwashed by Chaz, a real-life person who's only visible from the waist below shows up to give them "Fizzie Blues Juice". They return in the ending credits, where they can be seen above the waist, but [[TheFaceless their head remains unseen]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' contains a weird, all-animated version of this with Spider-Ham. While the entire movie is animated, Spider-Ham is the only character who is treated as being a cartoon character in-universe, complete with ToonPhysics, which the other characters lack.

* Shawn Keller's ''Guardians Of Pondonia'' uses this heavily, featuring in its first episode the main character (an aimated WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic {{Expy}}) teleported to Earth and interacting with humans.

* ''Series/OutOfJimmysHead''

* In the ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' film ''I Love Wolffy 2'', when Wolffy and Wilie arrive in the real world, they remain cartoon characters until they transform into humans. They bump into live-action actors before they become humans.

* The [[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Walt Disney anthology series]] often had Creator/WaltDisney interacting with his cartoon creations. A perfect example is a 1956 episode entitled "A Day in the Life of Donald Duck", in which WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck goes through a typical day at the Disney Studios. Along the way, he meets [[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub the Mouseketeers]], the [[TalkingToHimself voice of Donald himself]] Clarence Nash, and of course, Walt Disney.

* The 2022 ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' movie borrows the idea of cartoon characters being actors from ''Roger Rabbit'' and takes it to the PresentDay[[note]]Roger himself even makes a cameo in one scene[[/note]], with various art styles from classic Disney to CGI (both good ''and'' bad, [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons-style]], and even anime (and that's just the background extras!). The "cartoon" characters are actually 3D rendered with CelShading.

* ''Film/ImThinkingOfEndingThings'': Briefly, following a mental breakdown, the janitor seemingly hallucinates the maggot-infested pig (as an animated piece) and follows it into the school.
