* Jason Love's Snapshots: [https://web.archive.org/web/20150130075406/http://www.jasonlove.com/cartoons/00290-daily-cartoons-shadow-puppets.gif Jimmy is pretty good at it.] Or pretty tasty.
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Buzz Lightyear does this in the ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' ''[[Pixar Shorts|Treat]]'' "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLNBM-iWwA Shadow Play]".
* Sid the Squid in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' once makes a squid shadow on the wall, using just his fingers.
* ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'': Courage sometimes does this; one episode even has a [[Living Shadow]] that "projects" itself to scare him.
Line 51:
* This is one of the more benign skills of Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz on ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''.
* The ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' short "One Meat Brawl" ends with what looks like a [[Shadow Discretion Shot]] of a big fight, but turns out to be the characters using shadow puppets.
{{quote| '''[[Porky Pig]]:''' "That way, no one gets hurt."}}
* One episode of [[Futurama]] had Bender use his hands to make a Professor Farnsworth shadow puppet convincing enough to fool a sniper. Talented, but not that much of a stretch. He ''then'' used his ''circular feet'' to make shadow puppets of himself and Fry to match it.
* In an episode of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', Edd manages to create a highly detailed skeleton-creature shadow (and in one commercial, the [[Cartoon Network]] logo) with just his two hands. [[Achievements in Ignorance|Ed]] manages to invert the trope; no matter what pose he puts his two hands into in front of the light, it just looks like his hand.
{{quote| '''Ed:''' I think it's broken, guys.}}
* For the talent portion of the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E7/E07 May the Best Pet Win|May the Best Pet Win]]", one of the animals decided to do shadow puppets, ending with a figure of a galleon in full sail. For added hilarity, the animal that did it was a wasp.
* During the "B-Movie" musical number in ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'', one appliance stands in front of a light and casts a shadow that quickly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nOeK0Ig-H9g#t=105s falls apart and becomes a flock of bats], leaving behind ''no shadow at all''.
* This is done in at least one episode of ''[[Scooby Doo]]'': Shaggy and Scooby entertain themselves by making shadow puppets, and the last one is the [[Monster of the Week]].
** In one episode of ''The New Scooby-Doo Movies'', Don Adams is making and identifying shadow puppets of various insects as exterminator training for Shaggy and Scooby. When the last one appears:
{{quote| '''Shaggy:''' What's that?<br />
'''Don:''' I don't know. I'm not making it. }}
** Similarly, an episode of ''[[What's New, Scooby -Doo?]]'' showed that Scooby is skilled at making shadow puppets. At one point, he makes [[Bugs Bunny]], a dragon and [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s head.
* Done on ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', when Jimmy needs to fight boredom.
* This was also used in the ''[[Mr. Bogus]]'' episode "[[Mr. Bogus/Recap/S2 E5/E05 Bad Luck Bogus|Bad Luck Bogus]]", while Bogus is trying to figure out the problem for the power failure caused by his [[Evil Counterpart|evil lookalike]]. The shadow puppets that he makes are a parrot, a chicken and a horse.
