History Main / TinyGuyHugeGirl

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has spoiler characters [[spoiler:the Pale King and the White Lady. The Pale King is about one head taller than the player character, who themselves are constantly noted to be comically short, while the White Lady, even when sitting, is easily about ten times their size]].

** It's also hinted that [[spoiler: this is a case of GenerationXerox, as Koizumi's grandparents were also like this... and they faced ''lots'' of hardships. This ''may'' explain why Koizumi's now widowed grandfather hates Otani so much - he fears that he won't be able to make Koizumi happy if they stay together]].

* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Tiny SpiritAdvisor Clef (who's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld) and either Umi Ryuzaki or Presea [[spoiler: (add Presea's BackupTwin Sierra, if you follow the anime)]], whether their affections for him are romantic or not (at least [[AllLoveIsUnrequited onesided]] from Presea [[spoiler: and Sierra]], Umi's case is a bit more debatable).

** [[spoiler: Miss Monday and Mr. 9 became an OfficialCouple version of this trope during the time skip; they even have a baby to seal the deal.]]

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry and Carol, who start out as this (though they're merely platonic at the time), with him being 5'4 at best and a skinny teenager, and Carol, who's a year older and hit a growth spurt early is 5'11. Harry hits a growth spurt of his own and rapidly catches up, as they get closer over the following year or so, but he still isn't the same height/is slightly shorter than her in the sequel when the {{UST}} really hots up and [[spoiler: they finally hook up]].

* Xibalba and La Muerte in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. Downplayed as both are Gods, which makes them incredibly tall with La Muerte being just a few inches taller than her husband who normally slumps but is slightly taller than when he stands straight. [[spoiler: Played more straight with their human forms in the framing story.]]

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Pepa being married to Felix with the former being visibly a head shorter than the latter who is short and stocky compared to Pepa's tall and thin. Platonically, she also serves as the huge girl to [[spoiler: Bruno's]] tiny guy, the latter being visibly shorter than both Julieta and the aforementioned Felix.

** In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', a couple like this shows up in the "On the Open Road" musical number, with the husband even having a high-pitched voice and the wife having a low-pitched voice. It turns out the husband's a roadie for Powerline and the wife [[spoiler: is a back-up singer with an amazing voice]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWild'' has a one sided romance between a ''[[InterspeciesRomance squirrel]]'' [[InterspeciesRomance and a giraffe.]] [[spoiler: The giraffe finally returns his feelings in the end.]]

* In ''Literature/BrimstoneAngels'', [[TheHeart Brin]] is visibly shorter than [[spoiler: his girlfriend]] [[CuteBruiser Havilar]]... even when you don't take her [[HornedHumanoid horns]] into account. WordOfGod notes that they genderflip a lot of other stereotypes; Brin is a NonActionGuy and Havi's a highly skilled fighter, and he's a ShelteredAristocrat incognito while she's a sharp-tongued commoner.

* Sera Vorder and Francis Love Skelbrooke from ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine''. She's so tall and sturdy that she's embarrassed about it, he's petite [[spoiler: due to faerie blood]] and (deceptively) delicate-looking.

* Music/{{Lit}}'s Music/{{Miserable}}: The lead singer is implied to be in a relationship with the GiantWoman (played by Creator/PamelaAnderson) who is so much bigger than him that he and his band mates can ColossusClimb all over her body and use places like her hip, her face, or her butt as a stage while they play her their song. Considering the song's title and lyrics, and the fact that she [[spoiler: ultimately decides to to devour his friends right in front of him before swallowing him too,]] it's apparently a bad relationship.
* In Panic by the Czech band Lucie, the lead singer is in a romantic relationship with a beautiful giantess in a red dress and high heels. By the end of the video he proposes to her and slips a ring on her finger. [[spoiler: She accepts, then she [[LiteralManeater eats him alive,]] [[SpitOutAShoe spits out his guitar]] and [[BurpOfFinality belches]].]]

*** Also, [[spoiler: Ninian (and Nils)'s parents. The mom was Aenir, a dragon woman; the dad was... Nergal, then a normal human shaman, and later the ArchnemesisDad. (She surely had a human form, if Ninian and Nils are an indication.)]]

** One can also customize a [[PlayerCharacter male Avatar]] to look as if he's around Ricken's height (via the "early teens" build), then pair him up with a taller lady like Panne, Miriel, Cordelia or [[spoiler: a HeelFaceTurn-ed Aversa]].
** Might happen in the [[spoiler: Second Generation group]] if Kjelle, the tallest of the girls ''and'' a GlacierWaif, is paired up with Morgan, the smallest of the boys. The same happens if she's romanced by a Male Avatar with the "early teens" build.

* In the secret ending of ''{{VideoGame/Grow}} Cinderella'', [[spoiler: the little purple Onky apparently manages to get in a relationship with Cinderella]], who is twice his size.

* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'': Ratchet is shorter than each of his [[GirlOfTheWeek Girls of the Week]] by variable amounts: maybe an inch or two shorter than Sasha, [[OneHeadTaller One Head Shorter]] than Talwyn, and ''at least'' a foot shorter than Angela. This has less to do with InterspeciesRomance than it does with Ratchet being just plain short. (Angela is the same species as Ratchet, though it's unknown whether this means that Ratchet is short for his kind or that female Lombaxes are naturally bigger than males, given that Angela is the only one that's actually been seen in the series.) Additionally, Dr. Nefarious [[UnholyMatrimony gets into a fling with the utterly massive Cassiopeia.]]

* The titular ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' has a downplayed example of this with his partner Shield Knight. While Shield Knight isn't drastically taller than Shovel Knight, Shovel Knight being shorter-than-average only reaches to her shoulders. PromotedToPlayable VillainProtagonist Plague Knight meanwhile plays this straight as his partner [[StatuesqueStunner Mona]] is among the tallest [=NPCs=] in the game. For reference, Plague Knight is the same height as Shovel Knight, and Plague Knight reaches about Mona's waist when she's standing.

** Though he's not a human, Tora and [[spoiler: Poppi QT Pi]] can count as Nopon are usually short, with her even carrying him easily in her first appearance to emphasize this fact.

* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': [[spoiler: Peko and Fuyuhiko. Though she's only a little over 170 cm, she still is considerably taller than Fuyuhiko. She was raised alongside Fuyuhiko by his Yakuza family to be his own personal hitman and bodyguard]].

* This trope is featured in [[http://i.imgur.com/EMtlaGi.png this]] ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'' comic, where "macho man" Georgia swears to help protect Fem!Ukraine against Russia. However, it doesn't exactly come off as gentlemanly due to the fact that he's disproportionately smaller than her. Ukraine accepts his help anyways. [[spoiler: And then comes Russia with a bat, who is ''way'' bigger than either of them. In a world where [[RuleOfSymbolism size represents military strength]], this isn't gonna turn out well.]]

* ''Webcomic/TuesdayTitans'': Titan/human partnerships to an extreme degree. Unavoidable when Titans are immense, genetically engineered {{Kaiju}}, and humans are, well... human. [[spoiler: Dillon, the human protagonist, looks like a bug compared to Lemony, his Titan partner.]]

* [[http://nullpony-exception.deviantart.com/art/I-think-I-m-ok-with-this-327964057?q=gallery%3Aplumpponies%2F30830361&qo=2 This]] Website/DeviantArt drawing.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcelain_Black Porcelain Black]] (5'10"/178 cm) and Music/LilWayne (5'5"/165 cm) in Porcelain's [[https://youtu.be/i9LCHgpzfxQ video]] for "This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like"; it doesn't help that she's wearing heels. Also an example of AWildRapperAppears.

* Moranis was not so lucky in ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'', where he tried to court 5'11" Creator/SigourneyWeaver, however, she chose 6'1" Creator/BillMurray instead.
* Relatively speaking in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. The male MUTO is perhaps 25% the size of the female it mates with. A case of ShownTheirWork, given that many arthropods, arachnids, and insects display [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism#Species_with_larger_females_than_males sexual dimorphism in favor of the female]] (read: the female of the species is normally larger than the male.)

* ''Film/Hairspray1988'': Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad. Admittedly, the mother is played by a man in drag, but it's played straight in both movies and the [[Theatre/{{Hairspray}} theatre adaptation]].
* ''Film/Hairspray2007'': Penny is noticeably taller than Seaweed.

* In ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' and ''Film/HoneyIBlewUpTheKid'' 5'4" Creator/RickMoranis and 5'8" Creator/MarciaStrassman are playing husband and wife. [[spoiler: It gets even more obvious in the climax of "Blew Up the Kid" when Diane gets turned into a 250-foot tall giant.]]

* ''Literature/AnonymousRex'' - Vincent, a velociraptor, is naturally much smaller than his friend and colleague, Glenda, a hadrosaur. At one point, Vincent steps onto Glenda's shoulders to reach a high drainpipe, noting that he felt "like a young son sitting on his mother's shoulders to watch a parade."

** Casanunda, TheCasanova dwarf who dates human women, has "Stepladders Repaired" as one of the claims on MyCard.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', Mike Wazowski and his girlfriend Celia Mae. She's roughly the height of a human adult, whereas he's basically a basketball-sized eyeball on legs.

* A sibling version in ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'': Violet is much taller than her brother Dash, though this is justified since Violet is four years older than Dash.

** A sibling version in ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''. Violet is much taller than her brother Dash, though this is justified since Violet is four years older than Dash.

* In ''Literature/TechnomagiaISmoki'', Lampart, who despite the name is rather a SquishyMage, is introduced lusting over Siballa, a BrawnHilda (at least in the narrator's point of view) [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fantasy viking]] warrior. The [[FirstPersonSmartass narrator]] notes Lampart only reaches Siballa's breast and is worried about the mage's obsession. When Lampart gets the opportunity to actually talk to her, they get on like house on fire and become a couple in a matter of days (Siballa tells fascinating stories and is pretty smart, if uneducated, so it's not as unequal as it sounds). Towards the end of the story, they even get married (sort of).

* Physically, Henry and Eva Literature/{{Wilt}} also fit the Tiny Guy Huge Girl trope: in line with author Creator/TomSharpe's female leads, Eva is an EarthMother, a very much larger-than-life woman who does everything to excess, including motherhood - she is mother to quad girls, also to Henry's discomfort. And they all take after Mum...

* The main PowerTrio from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' consists of TheHero Rex and his [[ArtificialHuman Blade]] companions [[PlayingWithFire Pyra]] and [[LightEmUp Mythra]]. Rex is always towered over by Pyra and Mythra, which the audience is constantly reminded of given their bonds and constant screen time with each other. It's helped by the fact that Rex is already short for his age given that he's in his teens, with his deep voice being the only indicator he's of age, whilst Pyra and Mythra each have the body of a [[MsFanservice full-figured]] StatuesqueStunner in order to emphasize their power and other-worldliness as Blades. Thus, Rex is shorter than most adults he comes across whilst Pyra and Mythra tower over them in turn.

* ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'': Ponyo's parents. Her mother, Granmammare, can hold her father Fujimoto in the palm of her hand when she's at full size. He's not particularly tiny, though -- she's just ''really'' big. Just to make it clear, Granmammare is the personification of the ''ocean''! Fujimoto used to be a regular human, and now at least still ''appears'' human. Thus, it's extremely understandable that she'd be bigger than him.
* Pietro's parents in ''Popolocrois''. Doubles as InterspeciesRomance, since his mom is a dragon.

*** Percival and Anne. While Anne is shorter than Elizabeth, Percival is as short and childlike as Meliodas.

* The parrot in ''Anime/TimeBokan'' has a large domineering wife.

* A given for ''Manga/TheWorldIsStillBeautiful'''s 12-year-old Livius and the older Nike. She is about a head taller when they first meet.

* The Disney ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' has the King and Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts is a huge, overbearing figure. The King of Hearts is minuscule in comparison. It is lampshaded in the introductions:
-->'''White Rabbit:''' Her imperial highness, he... her grace, her excellency, her royal majesty, the Queen of Hearts!\\
'''Crowd:''' [wild cheers]\\
'''The King:''' ''[clears his throat expectantly]''\\
'''White Rabbit:''' [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And the King.]]\\
'''Random voice:''' Hooray!

* In ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'', [[HenpeckedHusband Mr. Tweedy]] is a lot stouter than his LeanAndMean [[BigBad wife]], but he's also significantly shorter, in no small part due to his permanent stoop.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Pepa being married to Felix with the former being visibly a head shorter than the latter who is short and stocky compared to Pepa's tall and thin. Platonically, she also serves as the huge girl to [[spoiler: Bruno's]] tiny guy, the latter being visibly shorter than both Julieta and the aforementioned Felix.
* Hyacinth Hippo and Ben Ali Gator on the "Dance of the Hours" segment of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. HenpeckedHusband Flying John and his domineering wife in the "Rhapsody in Blue" segment of ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', a couple like this shows up in the "On the Open Road" musical number, with the husband even having a high-pitched voice and the wife having a low-pitched voice. It turns out the husband's a roadie for Powerline and the wife [[spoiler: is a back-up singer with an amazing voice]].
-->'''Husband:''' Just a week of rest and relaxation...\\
'''Wife:''' Yeah!\\
'''Husband:''' ...and the odd romantic episode!\\
'''Max:''' VERY odd!
* A sibling version in ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''. Violet is much taller than her brother Dash, though this is justified since Violet is four years older than Dash.

* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' has Tito the chihuahua and Georgette the poodle, though it's mostly an unrequited crush from Tito to Georgette until the end. [[spoiler:At that point, Tito wants to get away from Georgette.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', [[spoiler:[[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Fix-It Felix Jr. and Sgt. Tamora Jean Calhoun]]]] take it to an extreme. The top of his head just barely reaches her hips. This is due to them belonging to vastly different aesthetics. He's a cartoony, Mario-like character from an '80s arcade game, while she's more realistically-proportioned ([[ImpossibleHourglassFigure mostly]]) and from a modern first-person shooter.

* Vambre and Prohyas' parents on ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords''.

!!By Author:

!!By Title:

* Luchino from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' is a smallish teenage boy. [[CoolBigSis Aging]], on the other hand, stands well over two meters and is described as having a build like Michelangelo's David, but with breasts and 50% more muscle. Luchino barely reaches up to her chest.

* Chieri from "Manga/ChierisLoveIs8MetersTall" is [[GiantWoman 8 meters taller]] than her {{Childhood Friend|s}} and ImpliedLoveInterest Yumeji.

* ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'' has a few examples, starting with Meliodas and Elizabeth. Elizabeth isn't particularly tall, but Meliodas is so short that he's sometimes mistaken for a child.

** One of the minor characters, Matrona, is also a {{giant woman}} who was Diane's [[ParentalSubstitute mother figure]]. After having dropped out of the story in a flashback, she eventually comes back and is revealed to have fallen for a human man.

** ''Manga/FourKnightsOfTheApocalypse'' has the protagonist Percival and the ActionGirl Anne. While Anne is shorter than Elizabeth, Percival is as short and childlike as Meliodas.

* In ''Manga/ShamanKing'', Oyamada Manta's father is about his height (in the neighborhood of 80 centimeters tall); his mother, on the other hand, is of normal height (and [[UglyGuyHotWife noticeably better-looking]]).

* ''Manga/SteelAngelKurumi'' and the 12-year-old protagonist Nakahito.

%%* Makken and Leyte in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.

* In ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'', Two-Tone is rumored to be larger than Lucky (who were potential mates in one episode) partially because of her chubby figure as opposed to Lucky who is slim and slender. This later inspired a lot of fan art of Two-Tone giving Lucky shoulder rides and such.

* From ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', Iago and Thundra.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Nicole's parents, Daniel and Mary Senicourt.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': Jake and Rose.
* Mr. and Mrs. Brinks from ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda''

* ''WesternAnimation/BrandyAndMrWhiskers'' are a perfect example.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''' Betty and Barney Rubble.
** A far less wholesome example occurred in "[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Alvin Brickrock Presents]]", where a short Creator/AlfredHitchcock CaptainErsatz is married to an abusive BrawnHilda who goes missing, with Fred suspecting him of having killed her. He manages to alleviate their concerns, [[spoiler:but he heavily implies in TheStinger that he fed her to his man-eating bird]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
** The short, dumpy Hermes Conrad, and his statuesque, nearly-Amazonian wife [=LaBarbara=].
** Fry with Leela and Amy in ''The Butterjunk Effect''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019,'' Doctor Psycho, who has dwarfism, was married to Giganta. {{Downplayed|Trope}} because [[BlackComedyRape he achieved this through mind control]] and her first appearance has her walking out on him.

* [[TheNapoleon Lucius Heinous VII]] and [[GoldDigger Jez]] from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.

* Princess Bula and Specky from ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'', but the contrast is jarring: he's as tall as her leg!

* Leo and Panthera in ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011''. Even by the standards of their species Panthera is a StatuesqueStunner, and towers over her love interest Leo, who (being almost identical to his descendant and main character Lion-O) is relatively short for an adult Cat.
* Itchiano "Itchy" and Gnat in the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode "Flea for Your Life."

* ''Series/{{Fleabag}}'': An ever-so-slight but still noticeable one with the titular character and her love interest "Hot Priest", played by 5'8" Creator/PhoebeWallerBridge and 5'6" Creator/AndrewScott, respectively.

* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'': A platonic example. [[{{Deuteragonist}} Abby]] is a very tall, muscular woman in her early twenties who's partnered with a short twelve-year old named [[ArcherArchetype Lev]]. They're [[{{Foil}} foils]] to the [[ContrastingSequelProtagonist first game's leads]], a grizzled survivor [[OldSoldier Joel]], who's in his fifties, and fourteen-year old [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead Ellie]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' has a platonic version between anthropomorphic bee Barry who forms a friendship with (and also a one sided crush on) attractive human florist Vanessa.
* Xibalba and La Muerte in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. Downplayed as both are Gods, which makes them incredibly tall with La Muerte being just a few inches taller than her husband who normally slumps but is slightly taller than when he stands straight. [[spoiler:Played more straight with their human forms in the framing story.]]

* Both sets of parents in ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' are this in different ways. William and Nell Van Dort are the roughly the same height, but William is skinny whereas Nell is wide enough to have trouble getting into the carriage. Finis and Maudeline Everglot appear to be the same height when we first see them, but then it is revealed Finis was standing on a stepladder and is only about half as tall as his wife.
* The couple in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=4PTjT4U7Fsk&feature=endscreen Dodudindon]]''. The woman is a BigBeautifulWoman and the man is small, short and scrawny in comparison to her (and he wants her oh, so badly).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Pepa being married to Felix with the former being visibly a head shorter than the latter who is short and stocky compared to Pepa's tall and thin. Platonically, she also serves as the huge girl to [[spoiler:Bruno's]] tiny guy, the latter being visibly shorter than both Julieta and the afromented Felix.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', a couple like this show up in the "On the Open Road" musical number, with the husband even having a high-pitched voice and the wife having a low-pitched voice. It turns out the husband's a roadie for Powerline and the wife [[spoiler:is a back-up singer with an amazing voice]].

* A sibling version in ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''. Violet is much taller than her brother Dash, though it is justified since Violet is four years older than Dash.
* Ted and Audrey from ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012''. A more comedic example is the Once-ler's uncle Ubb and aunt Grizelda from the same movie. Grizelda isn't just taller than Ubb, [[ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa she's also very fat]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/Sing2'', there’s Buster Moon and Suki Lane. Suki is like a 10-foot pole compared to Buster (who is already a Napoleon-complex to begin with).

* ''Film/ADogsPurpose'' has Toni and Roxy. Toni is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Roxy is a Landseer. Roxy is over twice Toni's size. To him, it was LoveAtFirstSight and they become inseparable.

* Relatively speaking in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. The male MUTO is perhaps 25% the size of the female it mates with. A case of ShownTheirWork, given that many arthopods, arachnids and insects display [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism#Species_with_larger_females_than_males sexual dimorphism in favor of the female]] (read: the female of the species is normally larger than the male.)

* In ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'', Kili (a dwarf) finds the captain of Thranduil's guard, Tauriel, to be quite attractive. She does not appear to mind the attention.
* In ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' and ''Film/HoneyIBlewUpTheKid'' 5'4" Creator/RickMoranis and 5'8" Creator/MarciaStrassman are playing husband and wife. [[spoiler: It gets even more obvious in the climax of "Blew Up the Kid", when Diane gets turned into a 250-foot tall giant.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' has a platonic version between anthropomorphic bee Barry who forms a friendship (and also a one sided crush on) very attractive human florist Vanessa.

** Two of Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin's daughters, Praline and Chiffon, are HappilyMarried to shorter men: Aladdin from the Sun Pirates,[[note]]Who ''isn't'' exactly short, by the way; he's around the height of the 301-cm-tall Jinbe, but [[StatuesqueStunner Praline is just that huge]].[[/note]] and Capone Bege.[[note]]Around 166 cm, meaning he's short but not ''excessively'' so.[[/note]]
