Well, It looks as though our heroes have been Swallowed Whole and must find a way to escape. The predator in question may be a whale, a dinosaur, a dragon, an Eldritch Abomination, or... wait, why is the creature hollowed out? This is a subtrope of Artistic License – Biology, when the interior of the predator looks like the inside of the ribcage, devoid of any internal organs. Sometimes even WITH organs, as if the esophagus led to the creature's body cavity and not the stomach itself. In videogames, this can be seen in the Womb Level. This trope can be averted by a depiction of the inside of the stomach as the inside of a meaty balloon, with acid dripping down the walls for good measure. When not, as long as it belongs to some fantastical and/or supernatural creature it can hide behind the legit argument of Bizarre Alien Biology. Compare Just Eat Him and Getting Eaten Is Harmless. |

In Finding Nemo, after getting lost in the Pacific Ocean, Marlin and Dory get swallowed by a Blue Whale. Interestingly, the trope is slightly inverted in that they are trapped inside the enormous mouth instead of the stomach but since the whale is so massive Marlin treats it as such and the baleen is practically solid bone. Fortunately for Marlin and Dory, the whale is carrying them to Sydney to help Marlin on his quest. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist has an interesting variation: After Lust dies, Gluttony goes on a rampage. He gets a ribcage mouth. Partially justified in that he's a Homunculus to start with, and in the middle of a Philosopher Stone powered transformation. It also doesn't lead to his stomach but some sort of Pocket Dimension. |

Camp Lazlo takes this trope even further by incorporating a ribcage and a uvula into a giant bird's stomach. The latter has some plot relevance. | |

Averted in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The "Prince Froggy" boss fight has Yoshi and Baby Mario shrunk down and swallowed by a Froggy enemy. The entire battle takes place inside the stomach which is entirely fleshy, has droplets of acid raining down from the roof that must be dodged, and a distinct lack of any visible bones. AKA, a word-for-word example of what the trope defines as an aversion. | |

Season 5 of Ninjago reveals that the Cursed Realm introduced in Season 4 is a living creature called the Preeminent, and the inside of it, or at least what is shown, has a ribcage structure◊. Justified since it's more of an Eldritch Abomination than a realistic creature. | |

Jörmungandr in God of War (PS4), during the mission that requires Kratos to venture inside him. A bit more justified than usual since a) Jörmungandr is an explicitly magical creature whose anatomy already makes about as much sense as a harpy's, and b) he is a titanic serpent, so his skeleton is essentially one massive rib cage that could conceivably show through his guts depending on the thickness of the surrounding musculature. | |
