* The main character of the short film ''BadlyDrawnRoy'' is a cartoon while everyone else is live-action, including his parents. In-universe, this occurrence is a genetic improbability similar to white parents giving birth to a black baby and while remarkable, isn't considered unbelievable.

* In a truly bizarre example of this trope, in the late 40's, when ColumbiaPictures was making live action {{Superman}} serials, in order to save money on the flight effect, they actually had Superman ''turn into a cartoon version of himself'' when he flew!

At one point, Donald and José do a little dance number with live-action entertainer Aurora Miranda.

No live action footage here, just an art shift. The shots of the ghosts exploding don\'t count either, since there\'s no drawn animation there.


* The second half of episode 5 of ''PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is set in the somewhat realistically-drawn Mini Tokyo, which is next door to the dayglo ThickLineAnimation of Daten City. The contrast is heightened when Panty and Stocking cross over to deal with this week's Ghost, underlining how amoral and strange the main characters are.

* The Disney series ''{{Bonkers}}'' is similar to ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit?'', treating cartoon characters as actors. The titular bobcat is a washed-up cartoon star working as a cop in the "real world". If you're wondering how they pulled that off in pure animation, "Real" things and people were [[RealIsBrown painted in a shade darker]] than "Toon" people and objects, as well as having a much more subdued range of motion and especially reaction.

* ''[=~Yu-Gi-Oh!~=]'' and Pegasus' Toon cards. In this case, of course, the outer world is already animated, but the Toon cards are based on Warner Bros.-style American animation rather than Japanese animation.
** And of course, ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'' references this:
--->'''Kaiba''': Now it's time for the ultimate cartoon showdown - Japanese animation versus American animation!
--->'''Pegasus''': You forgot one important detail, Kaiba-boy - Japanese cartoons tend to be [[InactionSequence a lot slower]] than their American counterparts!
