* In ''[[WesternAnimation/BluesBigMusicalMovie'', Snail belts out in [[VocalDissonance a comically deep male voice]] "I just want to be me!" during a song number.

* ''Film/AustinPowers in: Goldmember'' was originally going to include a musical number "What's it all about, Austin?" in which Dr Evil's usually mute clone, Mini-Me, sang along with the rest of the cast. The song was cut from the final version of the film, but included as a bonus feature on the DVD.

* In ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', the titular Rocky is portrayed as mute (with the exception with some unintelligible grunting) when he is not singing. This is in contrast to the original stage musical where he actually could talk.

* The Oompa-Loompas in ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''. Played straight in the ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' remake until the ending reveals that one of them was NarratorAllAlong.

* Played with on ''Series/{{Galavant}}'', where the monks featured in the show have taken a vow of singing instead of silence.

* Mr. Darling's sons in ''Series/TheAndyGriffithShow'' can belt out a really good song on most days, but generally respond to most attempts to get a word out of them with awkward blank stares.

* ''WesternAnimation/AMonsterInParis'': The titular monster, Francœur is frequently singing during the many musical numbers of the movies, but outside of that, he's unable to speak in anything other than insect-like chirps. It's implied he need musics to be able to speak.

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' features Eucliwood Hellscythe, a powerful necromancer who's very being contains so much destructive magic stored inside her that any sound she utters has destructive results.
