** While clinging to the outside of the shuttle rocket, WALL•E escapes the lifeless clutter of his CrapsackWorld, and gazes in wonder at the infinitude of outer space. There's even a moment of MidflightWaterTouching as he passes the ice rings of Saturn.

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': In "Le chien chaud et le mouton noir" Miss Brooks is dismayed when she enters the "Salon de Chien Chaud".

Miss Brooks looks about the "Salon de Chien Chaud" with dismay.

* ''Film/JurassicPark'': When the very first dinosaur, a Brachiosaurus, appears on-screen, Dr. Grant and Dr. Sadler take a moment to marvel at the fact that they're actually looking at a real, live dinosaur.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'': In the middle of their journey to Shell City, [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick reacts in shock upon seeing the AlluringAnglerfish monster that chased them ran towards a giant chasm (which Bob and Pat narrowly avoid) and then gets eaten by a gigantic SeaMonster that leaps out of the chasm. Doubly so since they have to cross said chasm to get to their destination.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', immediately following the number "A Girl Worth Fighting For," all the soldiers fall silent as they arrive at the decimated village.

* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'': Jason thinks his first trip to the Thermian spaceship is [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame an amateur film]] produced by fans of his old show, right up until he's about to be sent home.
