Take My Hand! meets The Power of Friendship.
Essentially, one person falls off a cliff to their certain death. However, just before they slip out of reach, another character catches them. Then, as they start slipping, another person catches that person, then another holds onto them, and then... well, you get the idea.
A variation to this exists. People will form a chain or a human wall as a sign of either uniting against a common enemy and it’s to show you’ll have to pass through them or as one of mourning, the grief brings them together in brotherhood. Sometimes, a human chain may be formed when people are navigating areas with low visibility.
Human Ladder and Body Bridge are similar tropes. Not to be confused with a Chain of Deals.

Oona: One of Oona's plans to get the crown out of the pit involved having a bunch of crabs hold claws in a long line, reaching down into the pit. It's foiled by strong waves... and a plank of wood hitting Oona on the head.

This occurred in three episodes of 101 Dalmatians: The Series.
In the episode, "Chow About That", Lucky and Cadpig do this to rescue Rolly from the flowing river, but of course, once Lucky grabbed Rolly, his added weight caused the tree branch to break.
In the episode, "Splishing and Splashing", Lucky, Rolly and Cadpig do this as a Tarzan impersonation to rescue Spot from an alligator.
In the episode, "Animal House Party", all four of the main pups do this while hanging from a ceiling fan so they can brush Persian Pete.

Pooh's Grand Adventure. When Tigger gets stuck on a log wedged in a crevasse trying to retrieve the map, Pooh leans down to offer him a hand. Then the ground gives out, and Piglet grabs Pooh, Rabbit grabs Piglet, and Eeyore is stuck anchoring all of them by clenching his teeth around some plants while Rabbit holds his tail. They do end up falling off the cliff, but nobody's hurt.

Justice League had one when Flash is nearly sucked into an alternate dimension after running so fast he taps into the Speed Force. First Hawkgirl, then Green Lantern, then everyone else joins hands as they try to pull Wally out. Strangely, Batman winds up anchoring them, when the next four people (pictured above as Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman) would've performed the same role better, showing that strength isn't necessarily key to this trope.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers. In "Mind Pollution", one of the zombie drug addicts grabs Ma-Ti, who screams for help. Kwame pulls him back, causing them both to fall off the Capitol dome when the addict lets go. Only Wheeler grabbing Kwame's ankle at the last minute, just barely keeping them anchored, prevents both of them from falling to their deaths.

A variant of this appears in one of the most epic scenes in Iron Man 3. Thirteen people are freefalling from a plane. Iron Man catches one of them, and instructs her to grab the hand of another, and so forth, forming a chain in midair. They still end up falling in the ocean, but he slows their fall enough that they all survive. Note that he had to do it this way because he could have only carried four.

In Turning Red, in a Blink-and-You-Miss-It moment, during Tyler's birthday party, a trio of Mei's classmates are sitting on a couch when Mei grabs on to the one on the end and pulls her onto the dance floor. The one sitting in the middle grabs on to the one being pulled by the arm and the one on the other end by the ankle resulting in all three being pulled with the one on the end being subject to an Ankle Drag. All this takes place in the space of a second.

In Chicago Fire "A Chicago Welcome", a group of Badass Bystanders (including one guy on his stomach) do this to prevent a child from falling in a river. Impressively, not only do none of them know the child, most don't even seem to know each other. This keeps the kid alive long enough for the CFD to arrive, but also means multiple members of the chain need to be helped back up the hill by the fire fighters. Once everyone is safe, the main characters make a point to shake each person's hand.

In Shovel Knight, this happens in two separate campaigns:
In Shovel of Hope The Order of No Quarter end up like this once you beat them all in a Boss Rush. You can help them back up onto solid ground, if you want to. Humourously, they all end up hanging in the order they choose to fight you in — leading to such hilarious scenarios as the scrawny Tinker Knight holding everyone up. This scene is repeated at the end of Plague of Shadows- but Shovel Knight leaves the Order to hang while Plague Knight jumps off the end of the chain to escape.
In King of Cards, this happens to all of King Knight’s allies at the end of the final battle. King Knight decides to betray them all and join the Order by sending them all falling down.

In "The Belchies", when Louise falls into a pit trap in an abandoned factory, Tina suggests everyone form a human ladder to help get her out. It almost fails, until Louise uses the taffy dummy she "befriended" as a bridge between her and the end of the chain.
In "The Kids Rob a Train" Tina, Gene, and Regular-Sized Rudy do this to help Louise back into the Juice Caboose before they get caught.

Code Geass has Lelouche jumping after Shirley when she falls from a roof and Suzaku grabbing onto Lelouches leg to catch them both. It is both a good example of, despite being enemies, Lelouche and Suzaku are still old friends totally insync with one another and a shining example of the characters' unfortunate noodliness◊.

In Seijuu Kourin Hen after a bunch of characters are sucked into hell and the rest jump in after them to save them, they try to form an angelic chain. Slight variant in that a few are holding hands but most are holding onto the whip of the bottom-most guy while the winged character tries to fly back to the surface hauling 8 people this way. Rule of Cool, I think.

A variation in VeggieTales: The Toy that Saved Christmas, as Wally P. Nezzer goes flying into the air over a cliff, then Buzzsaw Louie and a gaggle of penguins go flying after him. Louie and the penguins form a chain in midair, and then one end of the chain gets snagged by a penguin standing on the edge of a broken bridge, and the other end catches Mr. Nezzer, the penguin at the end of chain just barely managing to hold on the bridge by his toes while keeping the rest of the chain from falling, leaving them stuck hanging over the cliff.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the episode "A Dog and Pony Show", Spike lowers a jewel given to him by Rarity on a fishing pole into a hole to try and catch one of the Diamond Dogs so they can rescue her. When the bait is taken, Spike gets pulled into the hole — Applejack grabs his tail and gets pulled in, Twilight Sparkle follows, then Rainbow Dash, then Fluttershy, and finally Pinkie Pie, who didn't even try to pull and thinks it is fun. All of them hang on to each other as they are dragged down the tunnel.
The Mane Six end up in another one in "Power Ponies" when they get sucked into a comic book. This time, Pinkie doesn't even bother to grab hold and just jumps after them once they have all been pulled in.

A variant is present in the finale of Kill la Kill. As Ryuko falls from space following the Final Battle with Ragyo, she is first caught by Satsuki, who is sent flying by the momentum before being backed up by Mako, the Elite Four, the rest of the Mankanshoku family, and then damn near every student of Honn�ji Academy before they all finally come sliding to a stop.

Occurs in the Pokémon: The Series short Pikachu's Rescue Adventure as a chain of Pokémon.
And in two other episodes, there's a long chain of Pikachu ("Pikachu's Goodbye") and Pichu ("The Apple Corp").
Master Quest anime episode "Throwing in the Noctowl". Team Rocket forms one to save Misty's Togepi, who has fallen out of a plane.
Pokémon 3 has Brock, Misty...and even the Team Rocket trio doing this to save Ash from falling off a cliff.
The end of the episode "As Clear As Crystal". After "blasting off again" (for the third time in the same episode), Team Rocket ends up hanging from the edge of a cliff. Then they're electrified by a Legendary Pokemon they tried to capture during the episode. They just can't win...

In My Little Pony: The Movie (2017), The Mane Six form a rope while holding each other in order for Twilight Sparkle to retrieve the staff of Sacanas before the Storm King does, all the while the staff is going out of control and a tornado that got conjured up by the Storm King is also doing damage. She is successful, but this causes Twilight Sparkle to be sucked into the tornado when Pinkie Pie accidentally lets her go.

During the original sky-is-falling panic recounted in Chicken Little, one mama bunny has apparently trained her baby bunnies to form a chain during evacuations, as seen by the steadily growing chain of bunnies she pulls out of her Clown Car pram. With just a hair's breadth of leeway, it worked.
