** Kakashi and Gai during Orochimarus attack on Konoha and in the current arc definitely count. On the evil side we have the Akatsuki, who are divided into dream teams (with some lacking in teamwork for some of the pairings). Itachi and Kisame stand out among those as the most badass team.
* [[Nana Mizuki]] and [[Minami Takayama]] as Tsubasa and Kanade, respectfully, performing together in the opening of ''[[Senki Zesshou Symphogear]]''. These two are some of the ''biggest'' names in J-Pop, {{spoiler|except it was [[Too Good to Last]] since Kanade bites it at the first episode's ''prologue''. [[Posthumous Character|She still pops up here and there in Tsubasa's mind though]]}}.
* Kuroko's former team in ''[[Kuroko no Basuke]]'' was considered the Generation of Miracles, each member being a total prodigy and together they won the middle school basketball championships three times in a row. Sadly, the fact that they were a

* The Louisianna Gator-Boys from ''[[Blues Brothers]] 2000''. Whatever you may think of the rest of the movie, ''that'' scene, at least, was cool - putting together a band of the greatest R&B musicians alive, just to counter the Blues Brothers Band's [[The Power of Rock|Power of Blues]]. The roster includes: B.B. King, [[Eric Clapton]], Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Jeff Baxter and several other successful
* ''[[The Great Escape]]'': The Luftwaffe unintentionally creates an escaper dream team. Quoth Big X:
{{quote|'''Bartlett:''' The men are here to do it. The Germans have put every escape artist in Germany in this camp, you said so yourself.}}
Line 65:
* In ''[[The Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]]'' the council of Elrond gathers a handful of members of human, dwarf, and elvish civilizations to decide what to do with the ring. Many are [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]].
** The Fellowship is part example, part parody. There's Gandalf, Aragorn, Boromir, Gimili and Legolas, which is a pretty cool team (a wizard, two human badasses, a dwarf and an elf). Then... there's the four Hobbits they're dragging around, even though they more than prove themselves later on.
* In ''Changes'', [[The Dresden Files|Harry Dresden]] pulls together a
* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: In ''[[The Bible]]'' ([http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Samuel%2023 2 Samuel 23]), King David assembled an elite squad of thirty "mighty men" to be his guard. All of them had impressive achievements in battle, including one who killed 800 Philistines in one day, one who singlehandedly defended an entire field, and one who "killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day."
Line 107:
* Some of the best people from Enix hired themselves out to Square to make ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', along with Akira Toriyama, and actually used the name "Dream Team" for themselves in the [[Developer's Room]]. Sadly, and more than a bit confusingly, nothing similar has happened since the two companies merged.
* Most any party-based RPG ever involves this at some level. Even when they're a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]], you do end up saving the world in the company of some of the best-qualified people in it.
** The whole point of ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is to put together a
* Meta example: For a ''Team Fortress 2'' international cup, Team France was pieced together using the best players around, based both on team skills and individual skills. The end result was a truly magnificent dream team, composed of the cream of the French crop, which was purely unable to work as a team due to everybody having wildly different playstyles.
* Most of the plot of ''Fable 2'' revolves around assembling a
* [[Inazuma Eleven]] , the game more than the anime. Though the anime team is made of several of the best players defected from other teams, the game explicitly encourages you to find and recruit the strongest players from any team you battle, making the ultimate team a mish mash of the cream of the crop.
