A Montage where a character or a scene shifts from one era to another. A "Mister Sandman" Sequence may or may not occur on a particular era, may it be a person, a place, or an item. The one thing that this montage is very prevalent of is that the atmosphere of the setting, architecture and art styles, technology, clothing and hairstyle, and occasional background music sequentially changes. One of the most common usage is a product or a subject going through each decade in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, due to these centuries undergoing rapid changes in all aspects of life. Often employed to make the point that "X has been around a lot longer than you, so you'd best respect it, son." Doesn't necessarily have to do with the actual Progressive Era, which was from about the 1890s to the 1920s. |

In Cavalcade, the years between 1918 and 1933 are portrayed rather negatively in a single montage that shows drinking, dancing, strident political demagoguery, and—horrors!—gays and lesbians. | |

The Simpsons: This is done in a couple of the Couch Gags: One has Homer starting as a unicellular organism, becomes a fish, climbs out of the ocean, evolves into a human, walks through parts of human history, and ends up at his sofa, and Marge asking "Where have you been?". Another shows the Simpsons as the casts of Sitcoms from different eras. |

The Big Bang Theory opens with a rapid-fire montage showing nothing less than the entire history of the universe, the lyrics to the theme describing a hot, dense globe of matter exploding and expanding, the planets forming and congealing, humans evolving and civilization developing. (The rarely heard second verse goes into more detail, describing prehistoric animals.) It ends with the sitcom's five main characters sitting on a couch and staring at their TV. | |

Gangs of New York famously ends on one of these, showing New York City as it grows from the 1860s to the modern day, set to U2's "The Hands That Built America." Despite the movie being released in 2002, the last shot shows the pre-9/11 NYC skyline, complete with Twin Towers. Martin Scorsese insisted on keeping them in because, as he put it, "the people in the film... were part of the creation of that skyline, not the destruction of it." | |

Futurama: When Fry gets frozen in the cryogenic tube in the first episode, time starts slipping by, showing New York being destroyed by aliens, forests growing and humanity reverting back to the Middle Ages and rebuilding New York with castles, gets destroyed by aliens again, and then the futuristic New New York springs up. It happens again in "The Late Philip J. Fry" when Professor Farnsworth builds a time machine that only goes forward; he, Fry, and Bender witness the end/beginning of the universe twice. |

The Cartoon Network Groovies short "Musical Evolution" had Josie and the Pussycats performing in several different musical eras (and costumes) starting from 60s psychedelic funk, then going into 1970s disco music, late 70s-early 80s punk (think Dead Kennedys), the Wild West (country music a la Dolly Parton), mid-to-late 80s KISS style rock, and a 90s-2000s techno/EDM style. Watch it here. | |

The anime cutscenes added to the PS1 port for Chrono Trigger begin with an opening Title Montage that shows a dial with hands rapidly rotating to indicate the party's Time Machine traveling through the different eras chronologically from prehistory onwards. Each era is denoted by a distinctive landmark overlooked by one (or more) of the party's main characters: Prehistory—Tyranno Lair (Ayla), Middle Ages—Magus' Keep (Frog), Present—Guardia Castle (Crono and Lucca), Future—Proto Dome (Robo). The exception is Antiquity, which shows the Kingdom of Zeal, something of a spoiler for the game, but with no overlooking character. Because that character, Janus/Magus, would be doubly a spoiler, both in revealing his true identity hailing from that era, and the fact he can become a bonus party member. | |

In The Time Machine (2002), the time travel through the 20th and 21st century is in effect portrayed in this form. At first it's from the viewpoint of the protagonist in the time machine, from where he witnesses the development of automobiles and via a nearby shop window also the changes in fashion. Then the scene segues into an Astronomic Zoom, showcasing the development of airplane flight and finally space flight. | |

Detention does this in reverse to highlight Elliot's time warp from the present day (2011) back to 1992. In order, he stops in 2008 with the Pussycat Dolls playing and his classmates wearing Hip-Hop-inspired fashion, in '05 with The Bravery playing and his classmates dressed like Emo Teens, in '03 with 50 Cent playing and everyone in Von Dutch trucker caps, in '98 with the Backstreet Boys playing and everyone dressed like either a Boy Band member or Britney Spears, and in '94 with Hole playing and everyone wearing flannel and denim. When he finally arrives in '92, someone's listening to Public Enemy and the fashions of The '80s are still lingering, especially on the Valley Girl Sloan who looks like a dead ringer for Cher Horowitz (but whose attempt to find service on her Cell Phone immediately marks her as a fellow time-traveler). The only constant is Elliot with his gray hoodie. | |
