-->'''Miles:''' Tattertown is the elephant's graveyard for junk, where all forgotten objects come to rest.\\
''[The streetlight he was leaning on suddenly [[AnimateInanimateObject gets up and walks away]].]''\\

[[Magazine/ForteanTimes Charles Fort]] called it the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20200210203435/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Sargasso_Sea Super-Sargasso Sea]], named after the mysterious Sargasso Sea; the dimension into which lost things go. Amelia Earhart's over at the bar. The LostColony of Roanoke is next door. USS Cyclops? In the harbor. Music/ElvisPresley? [[ElvisLives Who do you think is on stage?]] The Dead Sea Scrolls?

* In ''VideoGame/CassetteBeasts'', this is essentially what New Wirral is: an island where things that "slip through the cracks" end up washing up. Things that have inexplicably appeared there include an entire shopping mall, two parallel versions of the same person, and multiple Ancient Greek philosophers. It's also [[MonsSeries populated by monsters]], at least some of which also got there after "falling through the cracks".

* The 1940s animated short ''WesternAnimation/TheLandOfTheLost'' features two children who, with the help of a magic talking fish, find an undersea realm where all things lost at sea end up, gain sentience, and live in harmony. There the boy finds his old jackknife, who he helps become a knight as thanks for being a trusty tool. The cartoon also received two sequels, entitled ''The Land Of The Lost Jewels'' and ''The Land Of The Lost Watches'', which had respectively a toy grasshopper with a personality clearly inspired by ''[[Literature/AesopsFables The And And The Grasshopper]]'' and a pair of wristwatches as StarCrossedLovers [[spoiler: who eventually do find a way to get together]].
