Basically, a building suddenly starts to inexplicably move, but it's just Rule of Cool. Bonus points if it shows anything happening inside during the move, such as rooms shaking, swerving or tilting and objects or even people being displaced. See also Everything Dances. If it's a fortress designed specifically to move, see Base on Wheels. If it's a statue that starts to move, then it may be a Living Statue. For this trope's much bigger cousin, see Mobile City. |

Prof. Frink on The Simpsons once invented a burglar-proof house that would sprout mechanical legs and run to a "safer location" if it detected it was being robbed. The demonstration model he built took two steps, and exploded in flames. The same thing later happened to a real house. | |

The Looney Tunes film "Design for Leaving" has Daffy Duck outfit Elmer Fudd's home with modern gadgets. One of these is an elevator that lowers the second story... which crushes everything in the first story. Also, the Big Red Button that Elmer is warned not to push lifts the entire house hundreds of feet up in the air, in case of tidal waves. And, Daffy has yet to install the little blue button to bring it back down... which he will, with some additional payment. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978): In the scene where Arthur and Ford are first exposed to the Infinite Improbability Drive, they briefly see an apparition the holiday resort of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, where the sea remains steady as a rock but all the buildings on the seafront roll up and down, like waves. The h2g2 building in which Zaphod and Marvin have taken refuge is bodily uplifted by the dread Frogstar Fighters and transported through space to the world of the Total Perspective Vortex. |

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl: In the episode "A Staravia is Born!", Team Rocket has a wooden house base that sits on a top of a giant mecha buried underneath. They use this mecha to recaptured the escaped Flying-type Pokémon and because it's made of wood, Pikachu's Thunderbolt can't harm it. Too bad they didn't account for the fact that wood is a lot more frail than metal, which proves to be the mecha's downfall when the ground underneath it gives way. | |

In Howl's Moving Castle, Howl's castle glides across the ground with no visible means of propulsion. (Not like a hovercraft — more like an unseen hand was trying to hold it a bit above the ground while pulling it in the desired direction, causing it to smash into rocks or tree stumps, bounce off the ground at times and generally behave as if its motive force didn't especially care either about damage to the castle's exterior or the effects of the ride on the castle's inhabitants. This is actually several clues as to the nature of the castle rolled into one.) | |

Life, the Universe and Everything: On one planet, a party was going so well that the party-goers wished it would never end. As it turned out, several of them were rocket engineers. The next morning, the building the party took place in was airborne. It's still going generations later, though the people at the party have gotten steadily more inbred due to a limited gene pool; the rockets are seemingly kept intact by an engineering Cargo Cult, and the party sustains itself by raiding farms it passes over. | |

BattleTech has Mobile Structures, which are Exactly What It Says on the Tin: massive buildings built on enormous tank treads. The technology to make them originated in the Star League, and like so much else was largely lost during the Succession Wars. However, Comstar, and therefore the Word of Blake, retained this knowledge. It's largely Awesome, but Impractical since Mobile Structures are slow, impossible to take off-planet, and so expensive that you could easily build and garrison multiple standard bases. | |

Magic: The Gathering has several examples. A commonly revisited mechanic are, "man-lands," Land cards that have abilities that let them become a creature (usually temporarily, though Stalking Stones does so permanently). Art typically depicts a landscape assembling into ambulatory form. Many spells will turn lands into 0/0 creatures with some number of stat-fortifying counters on them (Battle for Zendikar even used this as a named mechanic, Awaken). Some of these cards, like Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi (the guild hall of Ravnica's Selesnya Conclave), depict a building getting up. Eldritch Moon featured the Meld mechanic, where two specific double-faced cards could merge into a single, double-sized permanent. One of these is Hanweir, the Writhing Township, depicting the village of Hanweir crawling across an open field, courtesy of an intruding Eldritch Abomination. |

In The Jerk, Navin attempts to prevent a car full of thieves from escaping before he can call the cops by tying a rope between their car and the side of a building. When they drive off anyway, they end up dragging half the building away with them. And it's a church. With a wedding being celebrated, and the groom and bride trapped in different parts. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI: Early in, it's shown that Figaro Castle is capable of submerging. It's also capable of moving while submerged, which is how the party gets to the town of South Figaro. After the Wham Episode, it gets stuck underground while trying to avoid Kefka destroying the world, and you have to go into its engine room and kill the Combat Tentacles that have seized the engines. In Final Fantasy VIII, Balamb Garden and Galbadia Garden are buildings that can fly. |

In the Baba Yaga DLC in Rise of the Tomb Raider, the Baba Yaga's house is a boss fight. It turns out to be a house with makeshift bird legs on a pulley system, which looks real to you because of the hallucinogen you get dosed with upon entering the area. | |

Secret Magic Control Agency: Baba Yaga's hut, of course, has a pair of chicken legs on which it can walk around. When Gretel sets it afire during their escape, the hut begins to panic and run about the swamp wildly, before tossing itself upside down into the water. | |

Norwegein duo Ylvis's show I kveld med Ylvis translation Tonight with Ylvis had two segments Dagens Spørsmål translation Today's Question and Tid for Hobby translation Time for Hobbies apparently set in one of these.note They're actually inside the back of a moving truck disguised as a building interior, as shown at the end of one of the episodes. They show mundane tasks being preformed (such as setting up a tent and hammock, or replacing a light in a chandelier) whilst constantly losing balance and being tossed about as the room they're in swerves and shifts about, and not acknowledging the inexplicable motion at any point. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Seveneves: The habitats on the Great Chain keep rotating to simulate gravity. The Eye itself constantly moves around the Ring Habitat, acting as a form of transport. The Cradle, being a counterweight attached to the Eye, is essentially a floating town that moves above the surface of Earth. It gets parked in sockets from time to time. |

Mortal Engines: In the prequel series, which documents the rise of Municipal Darwinism and the setting's Mobile Cities, various smaller-scale variations on the theme can be seen. In A Web of Air we see the funicular houses of Mayda, which rise and fall on diagonal tracks up and down the valley the city is set in. In the same book, the previously static city of London lumbers gradually to its, uh, wheels and tracks. | |

Spongebob Squarepants: One episode has Squidward installing an advanced security system. When Squidward accidentally sets it off, the whole building grows arms and feet and starts attacking Bikini Bottom. In the episode "Secret Box", Patrick says that no one must know what's in the box, "not even... Squidward's house!" And sure enough, the house is leaning in to listen. |
