* The wall around Ba Sing Se in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Although Ba Sing Se is officially a city, it is actually large enough to contain nearly a quarter of the entire Earth Kingdom -- between its outer and inner walls is enough farmland to make this nation-sized city self-sufficient, as well as ''a small mountain chain and a substantial <s>lake</s> inland sea''. Its walls are ''so'' massive that they are considered a geological feature and are depicted ''in scale'' on world maps. Its gates can only be opened with earth-bending, and the only time it was actually penetrated, it was because there was a [[The Mole|mole]] on the inside helping the invaders. How General Iroh actually ''besieged'' Ba Sing Se ''effectively'' for 600 days is unimaginable.
* ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'' (2002 version); in the backstory, after Keldor (aka Skeletor) failed in his first insurrection, the Elders erected the Mystic Wall at the border of the Dark and Light Hemispheres, in effect making the entire Dark Hemisphere a prison for Skeletor and his minions. Presumably, this wall had some sort of magical ward that prevented them from climbing or flying over it or burrowing under. They would eventually break free after two decades, having spent that time gathering Corodite crystals to craft a weapon capable of breaking through it.
