1	----
2	* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': Belle achieves this with Gaston due to him not knowing what the word means. [[DontExplainTheJoke "Primeval" meaning "ancient" or "primitive"; Belle was comparing Gaston to a caveman.]] Although Gaston is such an [[TestosteronePoisoning overly macho boor]] he would probably take it as a compliment even if he ''did'' know what it meant.
3	-->'''Belle:''' Gaston, you're positively primeval.
4	-->'''Gaston:''' Well, thank you Belle.
5	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' features a variant on this; Aladdin calls Jafar a "cowardly snake", which Jafar decides to interpret literally and [[OneWingedAngel transforms]] into a [[ScaledUp giant snake]].
6	* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' has this where the evil knight Ruber reveals to Lady Juliana his plan to invade Camelot
7	--> '''Juliana:''' [[YoureInsane You're mad!]]
8	--> '''Sir Ruber:''' I'm so glad you noticed! I've been working at it for years!
9	** At the climax, as Ruber (with Excalibur fused to his arm) attacks Arthur.
10	-->'''Ruber''': Say hello to your new king!\
11	'''Arthur''': You're no king!\
12	'''Ruber''': You're right. Perhaps I'm ''more of a'' '''''GOD!!!''''''
13	* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1''
14	-->'''Tai Lung:''' You can't defeat me! You're just a big, fat panda!
15	-->'''Po:''' I'm not a big, fat panda. I'm ''[[TheChosenOne the]]'' [[TheChosenOne big, fat panda!]]
16	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'', amidst much {{Flynning}}:
17	-->'''Miguel:''' [[YouFightLikeACow You fight like my sister!]]
18	-->'''Tulio:''' I've ''fought'' your sister, that's a compliment!
19	* ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''
20	-->'''Captain Hook:''' Scurvy brat!
21	-->'''Peter Pan:''' Thank you, captain!
22	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', after the Simpson family escapes from the dome enclosing Springfield:
23	-->'''EPA Official''': I'm afraid we lost them, sir.
24	-->'''Russ Cargill''': Damn it! Well, then you find 'em, and you get 'em back in the dome! And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter 24-7! I want 10,000 tough guys, and I want 10,000 soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, soft, tough, soft!
25	-->'''EPA Official''': (Pause) Sir, I'm afraid you've gone [[DrunkWithPower mad with power...]]
26	-->'''Russ Cargill''': Of course I have. You ever tried going mad without power? It's boring. No one listens to you!
27	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}''
28	-->'''Audience''': Boo! Boo!
29	-->'''Megamind''': Booooo! Yes, I can play along too!
30	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}''
31	--> '''Beans''': Go to hell!
32	--> '''Rattlesnake Jake''': Where do you think I ''come from''?
33	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Robots}}''
34	--> '''Bigweld''': Gasket, you're a sick, twisted, evil robot.
35	--> '''Madam Gasket''': I try.
36	* ''WesternAnimation/TheNutcrackerPrince''
37	-->'''Clara:''' Why, you're cruel and mean.
38	-->'''Mouse King:''' Your flattery won't stop me.
39	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'':
40	-->'''The Once-Ler''': Aw, how nice to see someone undeterred by things like ''reality''.\
41	'''Ted''': Thank you.
42	* A major one in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity''.
43	--> '''Johnny:''' They're always hiring in the mailroom.
44	** [[spoiler: And later, the two protagonists DO end up working in the mailroom and it turns out it was their start to greatness.]]
45	* From ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'':
46	-->'''Madam Mim''': I find delight in the gruesome and grim.
47	-->'''Arthur''': Oh, that's terrible!
48	-->'''Madam Mim''': Thank you, my boy.
49	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}'', when Frollo tells Phoebus he "threw away a promising career" by [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight defying orders to burn down a miller's home]], Phoebus replies "Consider it my highest honor, sir."
50	** One could make a case that this example overlaps with DefiantToTheEnd, as Frollo is about to have Phoebus executed when this exchange occurs.
51	* From ''Animation/AdventuresInZambezia'':
52	-->'''Weaver''': You're a monster!
53	-->'''Budzo''': Thank you. One does what one can.
54	* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'': Megalomaniac rock star Mok has coerced Angel into singing for him by torturing her friends/bandmates:
55	--> '''Angel:''' You're totally crazy!
56	--> '''Mok (with a truly creepy expression and vocal tone):''' ''Thank'' you. Shall we go?
57	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'':
58	-->'''Rémy:''' You didn't think I was gonna stay forever, did you? Eventually, a bird's gotta leave the nest...
59	-->'''Django:''' We're not birds. We're rats. We don't leave our nests. We make them bigger.
60	-->'''Rémy:''' Well maybe I'm a different kind of rat.
61	-->'''Django:''' Maybe you're not a rat at all.
62	-->'''Rémy:''' Maybe that's a good thing.
63	* In [[WhatCouldHaveBeen an earlier version]] of ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Mei was going to run for class president against Tyler and the debate would have involved Tyler attempting to insult Mei by calling her "such a nerd" which she embraced with pride.
64	* In ''WesternAnimation/YogiBearAndTheMagicalFlightOfTheSpruceGoose'', the villains, Dread Baron and Mumbly, are begging to come along with Yogi and his crew.
65	--> '''Dread Baron:''' If you have one tiny ounce of human mercy in you, you'll take us away with you! You do, you do, I know you do!\
66	'''Yogi:''' No, I don't. But I've got a couple quarts of better-than-the-average bear common sense.\
67	'''Dread Baron:''' Then you'll take us?\
68	'''Yogi:''' No way! It reminds me that you're a sneaky, no-good, lying, conniving stinker!\
69	'''Doggie Daddy:''' And those are his good points.\
70	'''Dread Baron:''' Oh, thank you. Heh heh. You forgot untrustworthy.
71	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', during Bowser's fight with Mario, the former tells the latter "you just don't know when to quit". Mario replies that he's been told that before. This is a MeaningfulEcho to an earlier scene where Peach tells him not knowing when to quit is a ''good'' thing.
72	* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' BigDamnMovie ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'', [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Brain]] disapproves of Pinky's InterspeciesRomance with Pharfignewton the horse and tries to talk some sense into him.
73	-->'''Brain:''' Pinky, that is a horse. You are a mouse.\
74	'''Pinky:''' Oh, Brain, don't be so intolerant. Why can't the horses and the mice learn to live together in harmony, along with the fairies and the wood-sprites and the bean-sprouts?\
75	'''Brain:''' I stand corrected, Pinky. That is a horse. You are an imbecile.\
76	'''Pinky:''' Thank you.
