Height has a lot to do with how someone interacts with the world. Since people base a lot of first impressions on appearance, a height that contrasts with how someone wants to look can cause them to be angsty, which can be expressed in different ways. This can come in two forms: These characters are short, shorter than everyone else in the cast, they can't go on rollercoasters, are nearly a head shorter, and they are frequently mistaken for a child, that's how short they are. In extreme cases their shortness makes them unable to function in the world and causes them to frequently get accidentally kicked in crowds, unable to get to high places, or a target of constant bullying. They sometimes compensate for this. In certain cases, the short characters will learn An Aesop that sometimes there are advantages to being small, such as being able to get inside a tight space. Most common targets of a "Down Here!" Shot. Men feel this way more often than women because of how they're seen as less manly and desirable if they're short. These characters are tall, they tower over people, nearly a head taller, they constantly bump their heads on low objects (or high objects!), couldn't fit in tight spaces, and have trouble finding clothes that fit. This is much more common in women than men due to how petiteness is associated with femininity. Subtrope of Appearance Angst. Compare Tiny Tyrannical Girl, Mister Big, The Napoleon, Tiny Schoolboy, Huge Schoolgirl, At Arm's Length. See Weight Woe when a character is self-conscious about width instead of height. See also Height Insult which often results in this trope. |

Genshin Impact: Barbara is one of the average build playable characters, but one of her idle animations has her lament that she's not yet as tall as her older sister Jean, who is one of the characters who use the taller body type. Sayu is one of the few playable characters with the "young girl" body type and laments that she's still at her current height while all of her peers are growing taller. As a result, she's constantly sleeping in the hopes that it will expedite her getting a growth spurt. However, her line for ascending to the maximum level range has her accept that she's not getting any taller right away. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Mario is a downplayed example, as he doesn't like very much when people call attention to how short he is, but he doesn't let it get too much to him. He's very pleased when he eats the Super Mushroom for the first time and makes him taller. The Japanese version, which significantly alters the script from the English version, doesn't make reference to this. | |

The A.I. Gang: Ray Gammand is once mentioned as having "never forgiven his body for choosing his mother's genes for height instead of his father's" (Hugh Gammand is over seven feet tall). It doesn't help that he believes he needs to be taller in order to play basketball, which is his favorite sport. Wendy, while also short, doesn't angst about her height — she just gets mad if someone mentions it. | |

Bleach: Toshiro Hitsugaya is the youngest captain in the series' history, but because Shinigami age much slower than humans he's still physically a child, which irritates him. He's said to frequently take naps because his grandma told him that children who sleep often grow taller. And then, at one point during the Quincy Blood War arc, when Toshiro and Byakuya are fighting against Gerard, Toshiro actually tries to make a height joke about himself... and all Byakuya gives him is a pity laugh. Isane Kotetsu is sometimes shown to be insecure about her height, as she's easily the tallest of the female Shinigami. |

From the MLP Analysis community: Lightning Bliss is a midget alicorn. She dislikes being called cute, but her true Berserk Button is being called short. Which happens about all the time. She usually responds by unleashing her magic at the offenders, sicing her pet rainbow monster Twink at them, or — mostly in the TF2 Analysis series — going ballistic with her heavy weaponry. Keyframe has the reverse problem, being a quite tall and lanky unicorn. While not as touchy as Lightning Bliss, she still doesn't like being reminded that she towers over most ponies, and can get nasty in response to too much mockery. |

Keiichi Morisato of Ah! My Goddess is a college student who barely stands at 1.60 m (5' 3"), which is quite below average and contributes to his already low self-esteem about his looks. In fact, when the local Alpha Bitch Sayoko Mishima rejected him, she even went as far as saying that she would reconsider if he was 20 cm taller. | |

Edward Elric of Fullmetal Alchemist is so insecure about his short height that it is by far his most well-known Berserk Button, often to the point that he'll assume any "insults" regarding it aimed in his direction are far worse than they really are. At one point he comments that it's lucky he's small enough to fit into a vent for sneaking and goes berserk at himself. | |

It starts early when he has difficulty with the obstacle course and becomes one of his main reasons he's useless to the team. He discovers an upside to his shortness when he has to sneak into Skumm's lair; Skumm and his henchmen can't easily see someone who's so much smaller than the others. | |

Dragon Ball: Commander Red of the Red Ribbon Army was so angsty about his height that intended to use the eponymous objects, not to complete his world takeover, but to wish himself taller. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Frieza had a similar motivation to invade Earth, as he planned to use the Dragon Balls to increase his height by five centimeters. He didn't want to be any taller than that since he wanted to give the impression that he's continually growing. |

In the episode, "A Very, Very Large Animal" from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, when Piglet suffers from this, his friends tie backwards binoculars over his eyes and boxes on his feet to make him think he's grown overnight. His newfound height soon goes to his head and ends with him confronting some large crows, who dismantle the disguise and expose the truth. In the end, Piglet comes to accept his size after he helps out some ants, making him realize that he's not as useless as he thought. | |

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You: Yamame Yasashiki is a big girl, a Gentle Giant coming in at 200 cm (6' 7''). Her size has been an issue for her ever since she was a child; while she grew to appreciate what her size and strength could do for others she also experienced teasing and other issues for it. She hesitates kissing Rentaro for the first time because the sight of their shadows made her conscious of the height difference between them. Rentaro rectifies by accepting kisses from all of his girlfriends after setting it up so that they would all be at the same height as Yamame herself. Hakari and Yamame would later bond over Hakari's attempts to help Yamame's confidence by trying to increase her sex appeal to Rentaro. | |

Sesame Street: In Episode 4274, Elmo becomes tired of being the shortest one in his group of friends, so he uses Abby's magic wand to make himself bigger, until he becomes the size of a building. Abby is unable to fix the problem since she can only reverse the spell if Elmo wants to be short again, and Elmo doesn't want to go back to normal, since he's now the biggest one in his group of friends. Elmo soon discovers that his new big size causes more problems for him; he's unable to jump rope, find a good hiding spot for hide and seek, or even go into Hooper's store for a snack. After finding out that being big isn't all it's cracked up to be, he allows Abby to return him to his regular size, and enjoys a hug from his friends. In the "Beach: The Musical" episode of "Elmo: The Musical", a tiny shrimp suffers from this at first and sings a song about how her height prevents her from doing many things that she likes. When a wave washes King Crab's crown into a narrow cove, the Shrimp is the only one small enough to recover it. She does so, and finds out there are advantages to her diminutive size, making her feel proud. |

Yo Gabba Gabba!: In the episode "Big", Brobee expresses concern and anxiety that he is the smallest of all Gabbas and wishes to be big like them. Even though Muno and Toodee acquaint him that there is nothing wrong with being small, he refuses to acknowledge that fact until they tell him they are his friends, regardless of his size. When Plex accidentally beams Brobee to life-sized, he initially likes it. But it turns out that he dislikes it as he didn't get to play with his friends anymore. This is averted at the near end of the episode where he learns to accept his height, nonetheless. | |

Celestia expresses this regarding her own height and mass in the Triptych Continuum. She gains a benefit in that it can be very easy for her to intimidate — but that's it. The other side of the scale contains an inability to easily have an eye-to-eye conversation, looming without meaning to, neck cramps, an entire society built underscale to her comfort requirements, designers who claim her proportions are elegant and then mentally lock up upon having them in a fitting room (followed by charging quintuple for any dubious results), and so on down the line. One of the more comedic moments in A Mark of Appeal has her accidentally admitting that she's created diagrams for use in the unlikely event of her ever having sex, just to make sure nopony gets hurt. (They're apparently rather simple to memorize, have never been seen by the general public and if Celestia has anything to say about it, never will be...) | |

The Daily Show: Jon Stewart is about 5'7 and would occasionally make self-deprecating jokes about being concerned with his height, most notably when he "debated" the 6'4 (and vain about his height) Bill O'Reilly.

In My Huntsman Academia, Pyrrha admits that she's embarrassed by the fact that she's a Statuesque Stunner who towers over her teammates. This is especially pronounced on Team MNVW, as Izuku, the next tallest person, is at least a half-foot shorter than her. He still manages to assure her that she shouldn't worry about her height and that she's beautiful the way she is. He wishes he was taller himself, but his growth was stunted by his lack of Aura until recently, making him shorter than all of his male peers. | |

Implied with Naoto from Persona 4. While not remarked upon by anyone, Naoto is the shortest member of the cast, and wears platform shoes and rolled up pant sleeves, presumably in an attempt to look taller. Being as she's masquerading as a guy, it's likely an attempt to hide possible suspicion from a man being as short as she is. | |

Red Dwarf: An instance where it results in collateral angst for others. Mr. Rimmer was rejected from the Space Corps for being just slightly below regulation height. As a result, he became insanely obsessive about making sure his sons were the right height, measuring them every day and stretching them on racks if they fell short. While there are plenty of reasons Arnold Rimmer never becomes an officer (like being an utterly unlikable neurotic screw-up with no aptitude for the Corps whatsoever), height is most assuredly not one of them. | |

In Pokémon Adventures, Emerald is extremely short, to the point that he possibly has dwarfism, and he's been bullied about it his whole life. He made friends with Pokémon because they didn't judge him for his height — until other people started mocking him for using them as prosthetic limbs. He cut off all friendships with Pokémon after that and insists on doing things himself. He also uses various tricks to appear taller, like ultra-high platform shoes, extendable arms hidden underneath long sleeves, and hair gel to give himself towering Anime Hair. He eventually improves thanks to forming actual friendships with Pokémon and the other Pokédex Holders, and by his reappearance in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire he's given up the height gadgets and the self-reliant attitude. | |

The latter is a Huge Schoolgirl with the usual too-tall complex. At one point Osaka accuses Sakaki of "sucking away" Chiyo's height, and Chiyo starts begging Sakaki to "give it back." | |

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Myne is Older Than She Looks in big part because she's very short for her age. She gets very frustrated when her inability to do a given task has more to do with her size than with her health and welcomes any sign that she is growing, even a little. It get even worse starting Part 4, as the nature of her two-year coma keeps her from growing at all during that time. When she goes to the Royal Academy after waking up from said coma, it's not rare for furniture meant to accomodate people a year younger than her chronological age to be too tall for her. | |

All he gets is a long trip to the bathroom with Ben laughing at him. Played for Drama with Gerard, whose unusual height for a middle schooler made him an easy target for bullying, gossip, and insults, eventually leading to him taking on the Mad Hound persona so people would leave him alone. He's significantly mellowed out about it now that he's reached high school, and instead uses his height to his advantage by fighting almost exclusively with his legs. |

In the Lord Peter Wimsey novel Busman's Honeymoon, while Lord Peter is getting nearer the solution to the murder, there's this: "If I'd had more inches," said Peter, regretfully (for his height was a sensitive point with him) ..." The immediate context is that the murdered man was taller than Lord Peter, and Lord Peter thinks if he had been the same height or taller he could have figured it out earlier. His being shorter than others may have been mentioned a couple of times previously, but I'm pretty sure his height is given as 5′10″ (average) somewhere. | |

Lucky Star Yutaka is not happy about how short she is (1.38m) for her age, and since her healthier-by-far cousin Konata is similarly short (1.42m), she laments that she doesn't have much hope of growing any taller. Konata herself is more of a downplayed example; while she's occasionally frustrated by how short she is and is annoyed when Kagami teases her about her height, she's still not above using her short stature and youthful looks to her advantage. |

The manga begins with her dreaming of standing 1.80 m, only to fall off her bed and wake up, revealing that she's barely 1.50 m (at age 17, so it's not like she has hopes for a growth spurt). Like other examples below, it's justified due to the fact that height gives and advantage on the sports. | |

Karen Kohiruimaki from Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, otherwise known as LLENN. She was bullied constantly over her excessive heightnote She's 183 cm tall IRL, taller than 99.98% of Japanese women and got into virtual reality as an escape mechanism, switching between games hoping to get a short avatar, before eventually settling on GGO where she got the short avatar she desired. | |

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Percy is embarrassed throughout the first four books that his love interest, Annabeth, is taller than them. He is relieved in the final book, in which he has finally grown taller than her.

In the Bear in the Big Blue House episode, "As Different as Day and Night", Tutter suffers from this at first because he is much smaller than Bear and his favorite things are out of his reach. When Bear accidentally drops his spoon, it falls under the refrigerator, and Tutter is the only one small enough to recover it. When he does, he finds out there are advantages to being small. | |

Persona: Ken Amada from Persona 3, while a fairly average height for a 10-year-old Japanese boy, still doesn't like it when people bring up his short height and is desperate to get taller. In a recording added in FES, he's shown to drink several cartons of milk in the hopes that it will help despite him being lactose intolerant. By the time of Persona 4: Arena Ultimax, he's shown to have hit a growth spurt in the two years since Persona 3 and is now fairly tall for his age. Implied with Naoto from Persona 4. While not remarked upon by anyone, Naoto is the shortest member of the cast, and wears platform shoes and rolled up pant sleeves, presumably in an attempt to look taller. Being as she's masquerading as a guy, it's likely an attempt to hide possible suspicion from a man being as short as she is. |

In the The Loud House fic Her Baby Brother, Lori finds out that Lisa has analyzed their genes to predict how tall all the siblings will be when they've finished growing, and Lori freaks out when she finds out Lincoln will eventually be the tallest one in the entire family at 6'5. An interesting case as Lori is less worried about being short, the test predicted she would eventually grow to 6'0. What she is worried about is that if Lincoln grows taller than her then he'll stop seeing her as his big sister and stop needing her. | |

Mikey from Recess is normally a Gentle Giant and perfectly fine with his size, but the episode "Big Ol' Mikey" revolves around this trope. Gretchen uses her pocket computer to calculate the gang's adult heights, and they're shocked to discover that according to the data, Mikey is destined to grow 15 meters tall! That night, he has a nightmare about himself as a giant, unstoppable monster terrorizing the city and becomes desperate to somehow impede his growth, but is mollified somewhat the next day when he uses his height to save Cornchip Girl from falling off the jungle gym. At the end, we find out that the data they were using had been thrown off by the compass Mikey wears as a lucky charm, and he's not destined to be a monstrous giant at all. | |

Lord Farquaad from Shrek is much shorter than other characters in his realm, for which he takes ridiculous measures to compensate. When we first see him he looks like a handsome knight in shining armor... until it turns out his "legs" are hollow and there for ornamentation. His castle is much bigger and impressive than anything else in Duloc, surrounded by much smaller buildings, and placed in a cornfield, presumably to make it look bigger. | |

By comparison, Kanata is unhappy with her diminutive height and wishes she were taller because it affects her ability to play beach volleyball (and it doesn't help that a flashback reveals she was tall for her age back in elementary school). | |

Time Bandits: Napoleon Bonaparte is shown to have the world's worst case of a Napoleon Complex. In the aftermath of a battle, his generals have to assuage his concerns that "Five-foot-one is not short!" to which Napoleon boasts, "Five-foot-one and conqueror of Italy! Not bad, no?" He then gripes about how tall his generals are, saying it's like sitting in a well when they stand on either side of him. When he meets the Time Bandits, who are all little people, he's overjoyed to find people who are smaller than him. He instantly promotes them all to generals and invites them to a feast, where he rambles drunkenly about how all the great men in history were short. | |

Odd Squad: The beginning of "The Potato Ultimato" has Olive seeing Otto shrunken to the point where she towers over him instead of it being the inverse (where he towers over her as well as Oprah and Oscar) and expresses delight over it, believing that she grew a couple feet. However, she begins to question how her uniform fits if she grew that much and comes to the shocking realization that Otto shrunk drastically, which is why he's shorter than her. She then becomes disappointed that she didn't grow any taller. Later on in the episode, Otto tells Oscar that he used to be 150 centimeters (5 feet in the US version of the episode) when the Scientist measures his height and finds him to be 120 centimeters tall (4 feet in the US version of the episode) and expresses his dislike for it. The reason is eventually found to be Otto accidentally eating Olaf's Shrinking Potato salad, but Otto is unable to go with Olive to retrieve a Growing Potato to turn himself back to normal due to him being too small. At the end of the episode, the Growing Potato is retrieved and Otto eats it, but ends up eating too much of it, causing him to grow to the extent where he can barely stand up straight in the lab and develops a more baritone voice. In "Trading Places", Olive is aged up into a 21-year-old woman by Odd Todd, who uses the Flip-Flop-inator gadget on her and reverses the digits in her age to make her an adult. While the age-up is certainly not welcomed by any of her co-workers, her height causes her strife as well, as she manages to bang her head on the steel beam hanging above the door connecting the tube lobby and the Trophy Room and has to dodge objects inside Headquarters she never had to be mindful of before due to Headquarters being built specifically to accomodate kids' heights, not those of adults. |

Oddly, despite Iskandar's jokes about it in prequel series Fate/Zero, Waver doesn't actually show much anxiety about his height... That is, not until Fate/Grand Order, where his Third Ascension reverts him back to his painfully short teenage self after he'd long gotten used to being Tall, Dark, and Handsome. The Gorgon sisters (including, ironically, Medusa) and the protagonist are quite happy to tease him over it in his third interlude. | |

C.J. Cregg throughout The West Wing. Lots of jokes through the seven seasons, but a few that come to mind are the episode when Sesame Street comes to the White House resulting in Big Bird jokes toward CJ, and when CJ takes over as Chief of Staff and she chides the interior designer who tries to give her a small desk. She's not amused to learn that the Secret Service have given her the Code Name "Flamingo". | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: North Italy is very anxious about the 8 centimeters of height difference between himself and Germany; he has to stand on his tiptoes when he tries to kiss Germany on the cheek in greeting at one point, and still can't quite reach him. It's so bad that he hates wearing military helmets, as they make him feel even shorter. Iceland clearly feels this way, no matter how much he tries to deny it: One image drawn for the 2010 World Cup◊ has Japan standing with the much taller Denmark, Netherlands and Cameroon, looking very flustered. |

My Dress-Up Darling: The Inui sisters are at both ends of the trope. Sajuna, the older, is already in second year of high school, but her short height and petite body makes it easy to pass off for an elementary schooler (and she has the usual Berserk Button of being mistaken by or treated like a child). By contrast Shinju, the younger, is still in middle school, yet not only towers over most of the cast, but is also more physically developed than her sister (which only adds another complex to the mix). | |

After an offhand comment from one of her friends stated that popular streamer Valkyrae was probably the shortest member from among their group, it became a long-time Running Gag for other streamers, fans, and even family to tease Valkyrae about her petite size, often drawing (usually tongue in cheek) Large Ham responses from Rae. While she took most of these comments with a sense of humor, Rae did occasionally get a little defensive and sensitive about the matter. She was noticeably relieved to find that she was a little taller than expected when she was measured for a physical, and did an impromptu celebration after seeing that she was slightly taller than the also petite TinaKitten. | |

One episode of Suite Pretty Cure ♪ had Ako Shirabe frustrated that she was so short compared to her teammates (being ten years old) when they went to gather a bunch of scattered Tones since they can easily pluck them out of the sky and she couldn't. She solved that problem with a pair of stilt boots. | |

Fate/stay night: Shirou Emiya says he's a little insecure about being only 167 cm, or 5'6" tall. Considering his Future Badass self Archer is 187 cm, or 6'2", he should just be patient. In the Heaven's Feel route, Rider reveals she is a little insecure about being 172 cm, or 5'8" tall. Fate/hollow ataraxia reveals this is because her older sisters Stheno and Euryale, who didn't age and remained little girls for the rest of their lives, bullied her and called her ugly for being tall. Oddly, despite Iskandar's jokes about it in prequel series Fate/Zero, Waver doesn't actually show much anxiety about his height... That is, not until Fate/Grand Order, where his Third Ascension reverts him back to his painfully short teenage self after he'd long gotten used to being Tall, Dark, and Handsome. The Gorgon sisters (including, ironically, Medusa) and the protagonist are quite happy to tease him over it in his third interlude. |

Earth's Children: Ayla has insecurities about her height growing up, because she's much taller than everyone else in the Clan, which just makes her stick out more when she wants to fit in; the Clan are on average a lot shorter than Cro-Magnon, while Ayla towers over everyone by the time she's a preteen (she's tall even by Cro-Magnon standards, around 5'12" when she's fully grown). She sees her height as just one more unattractive and freakish physical trait... that is, until she meets Jondalar, who she is stunned to realise is even taller than her. When she remarks that she doesn't know why Jondalar would want a "big, ugly woman" like her, Jondalar makes a point of drawing himself to his full height and asking who the big one is now. As Ayla spends more time with other Cro-Magnon and meets some women who are just as tall or taller than her, she stops feeling so self-conscious about her height. | |

Notably in Delusions of Grandeur, where Don Salluste forces his valet Blaze (Yves Montant, who was 1.85m [close to 6'1"] tall) to kneel next to him while serving breakfast. Also, the other Spanish noblemen all tower above Salluste — the actors were deliberately chosen by the director to be as tall as possible, to make De Funès look even shorter in comparison. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Sergeant Voss of the Deathwatch (originally of the Imperial Fists) is noticeably shorter than other Space Marines, and compensates for this by obsessively strengthening his body (and after repeatedly needing to get a new suit of Power Armor that would fit his ever-more Heroic Build, was ordered to stop doing that as well) to the point where he can rip apart combat servitors without the armor. He's been nicknamed "Omni" by a squadmate for his ability to do anything combat-related except fit in tight spaces. | |

While Susan in El Goonish Shive isn't abnormally tall, she does end up at 5'9" after a magical awakening; she started at 5'6". One of the signs of this is a loud WHAM as she hits her head on a locker shelf she'd normally cleared. Nanase, meanwhile, has at times tried to get herself taller, being at 5'3". (Fortunately, they can at least short-term adjust things, with some magical assistance.) | |

In Girls Kingdom, aspiring comedian Inaho seems to have this going in both directions. She stands at 4'9 1/2" which is too tall to join the Paradise Palace which she would otherwise be interested in joining (by a mere half inch), but at the same time, still seems to be bothered by her lack of height, such that when gifted a kindergarten outfit and backpack by her Seraph as a joke, it actually upset her a bit. | |

She's not very happy with being the only one for whom Short Teens, Tall Adults is played straight. In Belladonna's group, Vedia is also the shortest, to the point she can easily pass off for a child despite being already a teenager. When Misty mentions it to her, she defends herself saying that Belladonna thinks her lack of height is cute. |

On The Mentalist Jane invokes this trope when he is transferred to another team despite his objections. One of the agents on his new team is a short guy who has some residual anxiety over his height. No one in the office actually cares about the guy's height but Jane makes the guy think that the others are mocking him behind his back. Jane stages some height-related pranks and the short guy snaps and attacks the agent he thought was responsible. This combined with other conflicts instigated by Jayne results in the team breaking up and Jane is reassigned back to his old team. | |

How I Met Your Mother pairs the 5'2 Alyson Hannigan with the 6'4 Jason Segel. It's played for laughs more than legitimate angst, but there is one occasion where Hannigan's character has a dream about Marshall leaving her for a woman he describes as "more height appropriate." Part of the reason for this is that Marshall's entire family is very tall. They tease him for being "the runt." When Lily visits, she's shown in a sea of midsections. | |

He is relieved in the final book, in which he has finally grown taller than her. Justified as they are young teenagers throughout most of the books, during which time girls tend to be taller then boys. The Heroes of Olympus: Leo Valdez is short and skinny, which does a number on his self-esteem, especially with his male compatriots all being tall and muscular save Nico. |

In one Reuhurinteen ala-aste story, Ötö reads a tabloid in a school paper complaining about all cute boys being short, and thinks it was written by Ryyni, the girl he likes. He then attempts to make himself taller by having the other boys pull his legs and head. | |

In the Heaven's Feel route, Rider reveals she is a little insecure about being 172 cm, or 5'8" tall. Fate/hollow ataraxia reveals this is because her older sisters Stheno and Euryale, who didn't age and remained little girls for the rest of their lives, bullied her and called her ugly for being tall. | |

All Fmeks have this problem in Men in Black: The Series as they are very aggressive and sensitive about their height. They even want to destroy the Arquillian's planet because it is bigger. | |

Sixteen-year-old Komari from Non Non Biyori is very self-conscious of her lack of height because people keeps on mistaking her as a little girl, although she'd rather be seen as a mature Cool Big Sis to her mostly younger friends. | |

In the "Ewww, That's Growth" episode of Dexter's Laboratory, Dexter and his family want to go on a really big rollercoaster, but Dexter is denied due to being too short. The resulting angst drives him to become as tall as possible, eventually allowing him to finally go on the rollercoaster by the end of the episode. This backfires when he becomes so tall that he hits the ceiling at the very end. | |

An episode of Gravity Falls titled "Little Dipper" deals with Dipper's height insecurity after realizing his twin sister Mabel has recently become one millimeter taller than him. He finds a size-altering crystal in order to make them the same height again, which just leads them to being shrunk down instead, but eventually decides to give Mabel back her extra millimeter upon realizing that he tends to best her at everything else. | |
