10	* Steele's attraction to Jenna in ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'' can be interpreted as this, given how uncomfortable she looked when he was getting close to her in the boiler scene.
11	* ''WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies'':
12	** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanVsRobin'' sees Damian Wayne saving an old couple from some punks, who intended to rape the wife.
13	** One of the more negatively-received parts of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBadBlood'' is Kate Kane's motivation for becoming Batwoman being changed from still trying to do some good after being forced out of the army by "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to resentment towards Batman from saving her from a gang who tried to rape her.
14	* Surprisingly, Creator/{{Disney}}, of all companies, sneaks this in their movies a lot despite the squeaky clean image.
15	** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'', Jafar attempts to [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe force Jasmine to marry him.]]
16	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}:'' After Bambi and Faline meet each other again as adults and become "twitterpated", a rival buck (Ronno) shows up and begins forcing Faline apart from Bambi. It was mating season. And it was pretty clear Faline was not willing to go with him. However at this moment Bambi is enraged, he fights and beats Ronno, and Faline decides to be Bambi's mate.
17	** In ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', Gaston attempts to have Belle as his wife by any means necessary. To that end, he arranged an unwanted marriage proposal and cornered her in the front door of her house in an attempt to force himself on her. However, Belle's response was to throw him out from her house into a mud pit in disgust.
18	** ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'': It's usually overlooked because of the [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale gender reversal]], but Ursula's plan to marry Eric is [[BedTrick rape by fraud/deception,]] assuming she planned to consummate the marriage.
19	** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' had an example. Scar was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl8gDjaHWWA planning to force]] Nala to be his [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe queen.]] This is the original reason why she left the Pride Lands. This scene [[WhatCouldHaveBeen never made it in the final movie]]. The musical keeps it however, and someone made a professional quality [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kGEz1zDGgY animation]] of the scene using audio from the musical.
20	** ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}'': Frollo's plan is pretty blatantly to force [[HotGypsyWoman Esmeralda]] to become his mistress or be [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]].
21	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}:'' Incredibly blatant example. Megara is introduced being sexually harassed by a centaur, which in the original myths are well known for being rapists, including this same specific one that tried to rape Hercules' wife in the original myths...
22	* Osanai tries to rape Literature/{{Paprika}} but the Chairman interrupts and tries to kill her.

89	* ''Film/LifeBlood'': Brooke finds Warren James about to rape a woman, and kills him for it. She later admits not everything about her story was accurate however, so it's anyone guess if all this actually happened.

114	* ''Film/ReeferMadness'': High school drop out Ralph gets good girl Mary high and attempts to rape her, but her boyfriend Bill stops him before he gets very far.

122	* ''Film/SandsOfTheKalahari'': In a flash of megalomania, Sturdevant decrees that he is the leader of the survivor group and that Grace is 'his woman' attempts to rape her. It is only when he realises how cold Grace is to his advances does he regain control of himself and break off his attack.

It turns out they like role-playing (though Hannah isn't happy to learn Sam is having sex) and this was consensual between them. The fact that Hannah's not in on the game however nearly makes it rape for real with her though.

126	* For an early example, this happens in the Rudolph Valentino silent film ''Literature/TheSheik'' towards the end of the film when the leading lady is kidnapped by a bandit and the titular sheik must break in and battle the villain to save her.
