A well-known technique in filmmaking and animation when designing a creature is to vary the size of the creature's eyes. If you want your creature to appear cute, give it eyes that are excessively large for its body. If you want your creature to appear huge, give it relatively tiny eyes. If you want it to be both huge and cute, pay close attention. This trope could be a result of one of the many shortcuts the human brain makes when calculating its surroundings: Because most small, (relatively) harmless animals (possibly including human babies) have large eyes compared to their heads, we are programmed to find that trait cute, while most things that are liable to eat us have small eyes, so we are programmed to run when we see them. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alternately, it could just be that big eyes are much more expressive than little eyes, which leads to Good Eyes, Evil Eyes when used for people in animation. Puppy-Dog Eyes are a subtrope. Compare with Open the Iris. |

The original Gamera. Subsequent movies in the series reworked the rubber suit to give him bigger eyes, and the sense of scale is lost. | |

Pokémon: Often when Pokemon evolve into their next forms, their eyes usually become smaller or less pronounced as an indication of maturity. Examples: Bulbasaur to Ivysaur to Venasaur, Vulpix to Ninetales, Sunkern to Sunflora, etc. However, there are exceptions where Pokemon have larger eyes than their pre-evolved forms (Torchic and Blaziken come to mind). And Zubat has no eyes at all. | |

Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon manages to pull off both. His pupils contract and dilate based on his mood. It makes him ridiculously adorable. | |

The Parasprites from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic have eyes half the size of their bodies and are utterly adorable... until they start eating and reproducing like crazy. | |

Used with a twist in the first Jurassic Park, where the dinosaurs have little eyes, like they did in nature. Then the T. rex gets right up next to the jeep and peers in, and that eye that looked so small from a distance turns out to the size of the kids' heads, which re-emphasizes the sense of scale. | |
