Line 41:
* Disney's ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]''. Pinocchio plays hooky from school and ends up being kidnapped and taken to Pleasure Island. His creator, the kindly woodcarver Gepetto goes looking for him and ends up getting trapped inside Monstro the whale. Pinocchio learns a lesson about being a good boy from the experience.
* In Disney's ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', the household staff are cursed, as well as the Beast himself. The musical version softens the collateral damage by having the staff discuss that they were the ones who turned the Beast into a spoiled brat in the first place.
* This is parodied in a ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|Simpsons]]'' example: A "[[Treehouse of Horror]]" episode had a fortuneteller curse Homer's family because he insulted her. They suffer through freakish transformations, and Bart actually dies, but Homer goes on refusing to [[Curse Escape Clause|reverse the curse by apologizing]] because none of it's happening to ''him''. It's especially [[Jerkass|egregious]] given that the apology would even resurrect Bart.
