Separate Scene Storytelling: Difference between revisions

== Anime and Manga ==

* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', in the Victini and Zekrom/Reshiram movies: The story of the two princes and the dragons is told in-universe with an elaborate pop-up book, but is mostly shown to the viewer as separate scenes.

== Film - Live Action ==

* ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]'': When the grandfather starts reading to the child, the action changes to the story.

* The 1995 film adaptation of ''[[Les Misérables]]'' was set in France during the Nazi occupation, and the main characters, inspired by acts of heroism from the novel, would play out their own lives as if they were the characters. This meant some sequences of the novel would be dramatically played out on screen (with the actors from the Nazi era playing the characters), some scenes where the action in the 1930s paralelled events and actions from the novel, and other ways as well.

 

 

 

* A ''[[Moonlighting]]'' episode did this as a framing device to make an [[Affectionate Parody]] of ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]''. A kid wanted to watch the show, but he had to read the play for homework instead, and imagined it with the Moonlighting actors playing the roles.

* ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'': has the cast doing a wackified retelling of [[Robin Hood]]—one part story, one part dream that [[The Ditz]] is having from having dozed off in class.
