Oh, how beautiful a place is the Sugar Bowl! As are the Ridiculously Cute Critters that live in it. The best part? Even when menaced by Mr. Meanie, nothing bad will ever happen!... Right? Not quite. A popular subversion and parody of the Sugar Bowl setting and its cutesy residents is to have their pwecious wittle town get faced with some of the most horrific and hilariously realistic of tragedies and disasters, basically breaking hell loose upon their land. Whether it's "Mr. Meanie" going stir crazy, invading armies, wars, firestorms, or other acts of Powers That Be, the residents will suffer for their adorableness with pain and despair. The inverse of this parody is when the cute critters decide to take the offensive. Whether they're really a gang of Killer Rabbits, or secretly evil and planning to conquer our world, they mean our heroes harm in lovably cute musical numbers. Yet another inverse is when someone throws a Genesis Effect at the Crapsack World, possibly changing it into anywhere between A World Half Full or even a full blown Sugar Bowl. It should be noted that this can be played seriously in the case of a Vile Villain, Saccharine Show or Knight of Cerebus making themselves known. In this case, it's not for parody and is instead showing the new villain is not to be taken lightly. Done right, this version is normally downright heartbreaking. See also Subverted Kids' Show, Superweapon Surprise, Crapsaccharine World, Troubled Backstory Flashback, Dangerously Garish Environment, and Horror Comedy. Vile Villain, Saccharine Show is when the show has a villain that by all rights should cause it, but doesn't... most of the time. Art-Style Dissonance is practically a requirement. Contrast No Endor Holocaust, where, by all rights, the actions of the main characters should have led to massive destruction and death, but didn't, because The Word of God says so. Has nothing to do with someone on a destructive sugar rush (though this could conceivably be the outcome) or sugar being used as an accelerant. Examples |

People in the Candy Kingdom on Adventure Time explode when they're scared. So Princess Bubblegum has to resurrect the dead. This results in zombies. So she has a huge slumber party with everyone, with Finn guarding the castle, and he can't tell anyone about the zombies. It's actually a subversion. The Cute King and his army of Cuties accidentally do this to themselves. They always fall apart or explode if they work themselves too much. |

Made in Abyss appears to be a whimsical Puni Plush adventure story about a girl and her robo-boy and, later, an adorable bunny-person. And that's essentially accurate, but along the way they must cope with ruthless man-eating monsters, and a "curse" built into the abyss with effects ranging from those of the bends to horrific mutations and death. The curse created the bunny-person through unique circumstances; normally it turns people into deformed mutants. The main character manages to escape several encounters with dangerous beasts unscathed, but when her luck inevitably runs out, the aftermath plays out in excruciating detail. She survives, barely, with a massive scar from an attempted amputation. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, another Magical Girl show, takes this trope to horrific and heartbreaking levels. The fact that those cutesy little magic critter Familiars all want to kill the Magical Girls and any poor Muggle who happens to fall prey to a Witch's Kiss is bad enough, but that is but a scratch on the surface of how disturbing and terrifying the world of Magical Girls really is... | |

Several levels in LEGO Dimensions have this taking place at some point or another: Follow The LEGO Brick Road has a secret area right behind the starting area which involves Munchkin Land being attacked by a group of Micromanagers. Meltdown at Sector 7-G revolves around Lord Business and The Joker tearing apart Springfield in search of the Foundation Element. Once Upon A Time Machine In The West has the game's Big Bad show up in 1885-era Hill Valley and drop several objects from different universes onto it, leaving it completely destroyed. |

The Smurfs once had a Zombie Apocalypse complete with The Virus. Only seen by day. And all the Smurfs get bitten, before the cure is spread by accident. And it has lingering effects even after being cured: Grouchy Smurf, the first infected and the one who stayed under its effects the longest, used to not be grouchy before that. Oh, and it predates Night of the Living Dead (1968) by nine years.note Grouchy's behavioral change only applies to the original comic book story "The Black Smurfs". The Animated Adaptation version "The Purple Smurfs" takes place after "The Smurfette", so Grouchy's behavior there is simply natural. | |

The Looking-Glass Wars depicts Wonderland as a Sugar Bowl with a capital named Wondertropolis and food items called things like "tarty tarts", where imagination makes things real and a beautiful queen rules the land with love. Then the villain, who's big on things like mass graves and execution of prisoners and torture and so on, takes over, and everything goes straight to hell. | |

Prince Caspian, being a Darker and Edgier adaptation, takes the book's implied holocaust and dials it up as far as the PG-13 rating will allow - which is, as these things go, surprisingly far. The Narnians are assumed to be extinct, Cair Paravel - last seen as a magnificent fortress, an archetypal noble castle - is now an overgrown ruin littered with the catapult ammunition that destroyed it, a number of the talking animals have gone feral, and a deleted scene has the Pevensies encountering a dryad who's dying beside her cut-down tree. As Trumpkin puts it: "You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember." | |

The World of Light story mode for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a downplayed example: It opens with the Big Bad obliterating the worlds of just about every Nintendo franchise in existence (and quite a few others), leaving nothing but the spirits of their inhabitants, but the most we see of this is a quick Astronomic Zoom as light engulfs the entire universe. So while cutesy worlds like Dream Land and Yoshi's Island do indeed get destroyed, we don't really get to see it happen. | |

My Little Pony: Some animated incarnations of the franchise are not immune to attempts of destruction upon lands filled with pastel-colored little horses. My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle, the pilot special for the My Little Pony 'n Friends series. It starts off with the cutesy sweetness usually associated with the franchise, then reptilian monsters come out of the sky and snatch up ponies to be turned into the dragon-like servants of a demon-centaur named Tirac. My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) had some evil witches unleash The Smooze on Dream Valley, and several episodes of My Little Pony 'n Friends had Ponyland being threatened with danger, such as the chauvinistic penguins from "Baby It's Cold Outside" and the magic-stealing Lavan from "Quest of the Princess Ponies". My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The series premiere ends on a cliffhanger as a Mad God, Nightmare Moon, is freed from her thousand-year imprisonment, captures the resident sky-goddess, and threatens the world with extinction by triumphantly plunging it into The Night That Never Ends. The premiere for the second season gives us the cloud city of Cloudsdale crumbling apart in a vision caused by Discord as he presents Rainbow Dash with a Sadistic Choice. What's worse is that there's nothing to imply this isn't actually happening! Then Discord unleashes chaos on all of Equestria after having corrupted the mane cast to break the bonds of their friendship, which pushes Twilight to the edge of the Despair Event Horizon. Amidst all the destruction, the vision of Cloudsdale comes true. In the two-part Season 2 finale, the glorious capital city of Equestria, Canterlot, is invaded by changelings, an insect-like race of shapeshifters that feed on love and in their natural form resemble black zombie insect ponies with fangs. By the thousands. It's actually pretty creepy. A flashback sequence near the beginning of the Season 3 premiere displays this happening to the Crystal Empire one thousand years ago after King Sombra used his immensely powerful Black Magic to impose an oppressive reign and enslave the local population of crystal ponies, who are shown bound in chains. His return at the climax of the second episode very nearly causes the same thing to reoccur, with his very presence converting the surrounding landscape into Mordor again, but the successful return of the Crystal Heart results in him apparently being Killed Off for Real. In "Magic Duel", another Ponyville-localized instance of this trope is enacted by the Great and Powerful Trixie, who has acquired a relic called the Alicorn Amulet, which enhances her magic to godlike levels. She quickly defeats Twilight in a Wizard Duel, banishes her from town, and converts Ponyville into her own private fascist state. The reason she takes her quest for revenge so far is because, unbeknownst to her, the Amulet also an Artifact of Doom that is corrupting her the more she keeps using it. The Season 5 finale puts all of these to shame. Starlight Glimmer's Time Travel plan to ruin the Mane Six's friendship results in increasing worse Bad Futures with the various previous Big Bads (and the Flim Flam Brothers) conquering Equestria since the Mane Six weren't there to stop them. This eventually culminates into Equestria becoming a barren wasteland of rock, dirt, and dead trees that wouldn't look out of place in Fallout. This, plus Twilight telling Starlight things could become even worse if she continued, convinces Starlight to put things back to normal. The endless polar storms that threaten to engulf the Crystal Empire when the Crystal Heart is shattered in the Season 6 premier seem almost quaint compared to some of the previous catastrophes, but are still plenty dire on their own merits. Then, in the season 6 finale, every pony in any position of power has been kidnapped and replaced with a changeling. While this is more of a stealth sugar apocalypse, all leadership being replaced with bug ponies would throw Equestria into chaos. Season 7 has such a thing narrowly avoided, as the heroes redeem the Pony of Shadows before he can plunge the world into darkness. In the season 8 finale, all of the magic goes away. It is very nearly banished to a dimension of nothingness. Considering how much Equestria relies on magic, the implications are disastrous. Worse yet implications arise when you realize that the only thing keeping the Crystal Empire from freezing is magic... Then we have the Season 9 opener. Woo boy, the season 9 opener... For starters, the Crystal Empire gets conquered at the very beginning of the two-parter. Then, after King Sombra is defeated, he returns and destroys the Elements of Harmony He then controls the mind of everyone in Ponyville, and conquers Canterlot. To make matters worse, the Everfree Forest starts invading. To close this all off, we have the series finale. Here, the Legion of Doom takes over Equestria, defeat the mane six, and trick the ponies into fighting, summoning the windigoes which start to freeze the place. |

The Kirby series is mostly set in the peaceful kingdom of Dream Land on the planet Pop Star, filled with painfully cute little creatures. This sleepy little Sugar Bowl is menaced on a seemingly regular basis by beings ranging from a nightmare demon out to torment the population with horrible, painful dreams to eldritch entities of pure darkness that possess and corrupt all they touch. There's a reason Kirby has a reputation for facing jarringly nasty villains. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards opens with Dark Matter taking over Ripple Star, a place so saccharine that the planet itself is shaped like a love heart with a smiley face. Kirby: Planet Robobot stands out for having the effects of the Sugar Apocalypse be prevalent throughout the entire game. No matter where you look, every part of Dream Land has been mechanized and industrialized by the Haltmann Works Company, with even poor Whispy Woods being transformed into a rampaging, smoke-belching mechanical beast. |

One of the core aspects of Playstation All Stars Battle Royale is the Demographic-Dissonant Crossover between cuter franchises with more mature ones; the stages represent this with events such as a MAWLR terrorizing Parappa Town or a Desperado RAY tearing up Franzea. Other stages feature a bizarre inversion in which the cutesy universes are the ones doing the invading, such as Hades getting swarmed by an army of Patapon or Specter interrupting a battle between the Helghan and the ISA. Such Mood Whiplash is stated by Word of God to be, partially, the point of the game. | |

Excel♡Saga has the cute little Puchuus, who are actually violent and imperialistic. When they get injured or killed they shift from cute to plain ol' hideous, resembling Golgo 13. There is also a sudden shift from their tiny, adorable cries of "Puuchuu!" to overly dramatic broken English. "Ow that hurt! You make-a me bleeeeeed!". The protagonists seem to enjoy blowing them up and kicking them around. | |

The end of Doshin the Giant: The final monument is the Tower of Babel, which blocks out the sun. Since Doshin is an embodiments of the sun, that's bad news. Barudo Island begins to collapse, and the villagers flee in terror while Sudoru ponders the nature of life and death. Doshin holds up the tower to let them escape, but since we've never seen any other land mass, we never see anyone actually get to safety, and it's possible for Doshin to walk off the edge of the world, the only conclusion is that everyone drowns. Finally, with the island sunk beneath the waves, Doshin collapses and becomes a new island. | |

There's an episode of The Fairly Oddparents involving "the Gigglepies", which are adorable, cuddly, rhyming puffballs of cuteness. Underneath that however, they're actually evil, and their main goal is to sell like there's no tomorrow. First, the Gigglepies take over a world by subjugating the populace to their cuteness. Second, they suck their customers dry of their freedom. Finally, when the planet is sucked dry, the Gigglepies blow up the planet and move on to the next. They are said to taste like manure, which is how the Yugopotamians, who hate anything cute or sweet, beat them: Yugopotamians find manure delicious. | |

One of the most disturbing moments in Super Paper Mario is when you arrive at Sammer's Kingdom just before the world is wiped out. You try to retrieve the MacGuffin in order to stop it... but you can't make it in time and barely escape. When you return, all that's left is an endless white void. | |

In an old issue of Nintendo Power, there was a full-page ad for the Nintendo 64 game Battletanx: Global Assault which featured tanks blowing up a world of absolutely-not-Teletubbies-honest. Likewise, TV ads for the game had the so-not-the-Snuggles-fabric-softener-bear chased down and mauled by one of the tanks. |

The happy, pious, God-loving populace in Grandia II is the first stop for the apocalypse.

The Order of the Stick: An early strip spoofed the classic "Hostess Supervillain" strips, in which Marvel and DC characters were able to Deus ex machina their way out of trouble with the use of delicious fruit pies. How does Rich Burlew spoof these? The goblins kill "Fruit Pie the Sorcerer". An intermission strip gives us The Battle of Movie Confections Where "let's all go to the lobby" takes a turn for the macabre. A Dragon Magazine strip featured a sinister cult of breakfast cereal mascots, with the title "Cereal Killers". |

Arguably the entire plot of Higurashi: When They Cry. Higurashi's story is a time loop wherein several characters always start out as schoolyard best friends in a sleepy little rural Japanese town called Hinamizawa. Each cycle of the loop starts out sickeningly cutesy - playground hijinks, characters making nonsense noises ("nipaa") and other characters gushing over how adorable it is, and typical melodramatization of the mundane. Baseball and hide-and-seek, in particular, are seen as Serious Business with the former regarded as an epic battle and the latter subjected to a child's idea of in-depth military strategy. An episode or two into the cycle, though, characters begin to die in horrifically violent, painful and gruesome ways and one character - Rika - is conscious of the cycle of reincarnation and the futility of fighting it. If you've seen the South Park Mysterion/"Coon And Friends"/Cthulhu episodes, you get the idea. She's Kenny. Only rather than being played for dark laughs, it's played just plain dark. Then, when everyone you care about has been reduced to ashes, wet meat, or a comatose vegetable, the plot reset button gets hit and it's time to watch them suffer all over again. |

The Genocide or "No Mercy" route in Undertale essentially has you causing this by completely emptying the Underground of all its quirky and colorful inhabitants one by one. If you actually manage to do so (a difficult task for both gameplay-related and emotional reasons), your reward is a chilling "The Reason You Suck" Speech from the Fallen Child to you, the player, followed by the Fallen Child killing the game itself (the Steam version even has the game automatically close after this). If you try to play the game again, all you'll see is a featureless void...but wait a few minutes, and the Fallen Child will offer to restore everything and let you play all over again, in exchange for your SOUL. | |

Gremlins runs on this. The setting is a small American town straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting, and the first act feels like a lighthearted family comedy about a father who adopts a magical, cuddly pet for his son. Even when Gizmo gets water spilled on him and spawns several evil mogwai, the film doesn't feel like it's going to be any edgier than, say, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, with Stripe and his gang's antics being mostly harmless. Then the evil mogwai get fed after midnight, turn into the titular, genuinely scary-looking gremlins, and wreak havoc on the town, including murdering multiple characters on screen. It's an '80s Amblin family adventure film that suddenly drops its characters into a monster movie (albeit still a Horror Comedy) halfway through, at which point you realize why this is considered one of the films that led a horrified MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. | |

Sweet Story is about a cutesy children's-story world descending into carnage, savagery and ultimately the end of all life on the planet. Since the reason for it all is that it's started raining candy instead of water, it is also literally about an apocalypse caused by sugar. | |

The Day of the Barney Trilogy is a story in which Barney the Dinosaur commands his young viewers to kill their parents and any other adults they come across. He then takes over using his armies of hooded, mutant "Loved Ones" and enforces a children-only world by having a ceremony occur whenever a child turns 13-years-old: the boys are decapitated, and the girls are brainwashed, locked into rape camps, and forced to give birth to more half-human "Beloved Ones". The premise is taken entirely seriously, rather than being a parody. In the sequel story, it's revealed that Barney is actually an Eldritch Abomination. | |

Equestria at War, a Hearts of Iron IV mod in keeping with the grand tradition of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Dark Fics, is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a Roman à Clef of World War II in Equestria, with violence and war crimes aplenty. As dark as Friendship is Magic itself occasionally gets, this take on the lore goes that much further. | |

In the Muppet Babies (1984) episode "Fozzie's Family Tree", Gonzo's Troubled Backstory Flashback, parodying the origin story of Superman, depicts his homeworld of Crouton "becoming normal", which begins with the Weirdos' space-age Bizarrchitecture buildings progressively transforming into Earth-style high-rise boxes, and ends with the planet itself transforming into a giant 8-ball after the infant Gonzo's parents send him away. | |

The Sonic the Hedgehog series is no stranger to apocalyptic scenarios, but Sonic Forces is the first to cross into this territory by featuring a city with an Amazing Technicolor Population of Funny Animals that gets mercilessly decimated by Dr. Eggman's robots and, particularly, his new Dragon, Infinite. Infinite's presence makes this a Zigzagged Trope, since while he himself is also a Funny Animal, he is a threatening, menacing character with immense power who's a lot crueler and more violent than the other Funny Animal characters in the Sonic series, even the antiheroes like Shadow or Rouge. | |

Robot Chicken — Uses the trope to exhaustion. Serial-killing Smurfs, genocidal Care Bears, bitter Strawberry Shortcake, etc. And the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the form of My Little Pony. They die, by the way. The gummy bear gnawing her foot off. Or Watership Down as done by Fraggle Rock. In one segment, the Care Bears decide to purify their land by massacring the Care Bear Cousins. The Great Cloudkeeper in the Sky, incensed by their barbarity, punishes them by turning Care-a-Lot into a Hell on Earth: New Jersey. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The series premiere ends on a cliffhanger as a Mad God, Nightmare Moon, is freed from her thousand-year imprisonment, captures the resident sky-goddess, and threatens the world with extinction by triumphantly plunging it into The Night That Never Ends. The premiere for the second season gives us the cloud city of Cloudsdale crumbling apart in a vision caused by Discord as he presents Rainbow Dash with a Sadistic Choice. What's worse is that there's nothing to imply this isn't actually happening! Then Discord unleashes chaos on all of Equestria after having corrupted the mane cast to break the bonds of their friendship, which pushes Twilight to the edge of the Despair Event Horizon. Amidst all the destruction, the vision of Cloudsdale comes true. In the two-part Season 2 finale, the glorious capital city of Equestria, Canterlot, is invaded by changelings, an insect-like race of shapeshifters that feed on love and in their natural form resemble black zombie insect ponies with fangs. By the thousands. It's actually pretty creepy. A flashback sequence near the beginning of the Season 3 premiere displays this happening to the Crystal Empire one thousand years ago after King Sombra used his immensely powerful Black Magic to impose an oppressive reign and enslave the local population of crystal ponies, who are shown bound in chains. His return at the climax of the second episode very nearly causes the same thing to reoccur, with his very presence converting the surrounding landscape into Mordor again, but the successful return of the Crystal Heart results in him apparently being Killed Off for Real. In "Magic Duel", another Ponyville-localized instance of this trope is enacted by the Great and Powerful Trixie, who has acquired a relic called the Alicorn Amulet, which enhances her magic to godlike levels. She quickly defeats Twilight in a Wizard Duel, banishes her from town, and converts Ponyville into her own private fascist state. The reason she takes her quest for revenge so far is because, unbeknownst to her, the Amulet also an Artifact of Doom that is corrupting her the more she keeps using it. The Season 5 finale puts all of these to shame. Starlight Glimmer's Time Travel plan to ruin the Mane Six's friendship results in increasing worse Bad Futures with the various previous Big Bads (and the Flim Flam Brothers) conquering Equestria since the Mane Six weren't there to stop them. This eventually culminates into Equestria becoming a barren wasteland of rock, dirt, and dead trees that wouldn't look out of place in Fallout. This, plus Twilight telling Starlight things could become even worse if she continued, convinces Starlight to put things back to normal. The endless polar storms that threaten to engulf the Crystal Empire when the Crystal Heart is shattered in the Season 6 premier seem almost quaint compared to some of the previous catastrophes, but are still plenty dire on their own merits. Then, in the season 6 finale, every pony in any position of power has been kidnapped and replaced with a changeling. While this is more of a stealth sugar apocalypse, all leadership being replaced with bug ponies would throw Equestria into chaos. Season 7 has such a thing narrowly avoided, as the heroes redeem the Pony of Shadows before he can plunge the world into darkness. In the season 8 finale, all of the magic goes away. It is very nearly banished to a dimension of nothingness. Considering how much Equestria relies on magic, the implications are disastrous. Worse yet implications arise when you realize that the only thing keeping the Crystal Empire from freezing is magic... Then we have the Season 9 opener. Woo boy, the season 9 opener... For starters, the Crystal Empire gets conquered at the very beginning of the two-parter. Then, after King Sombra is defeated, he returns and destroys the Elements of Harmony He then controls the mind of everyone in Ponyville, and conquers Canterlot. To make matters worse, the Everfree Forest starts invading. To close this all off, we have the series finale. Here, the Legion of Doom takes over Equestria, defeat the mane six, and trick the ponies into fighting, summoning the windigoes which start to freeze the place. |

The book and film versions of Ringing Bell are kind of like this. Watch the first few minutes/pages and you think it is a sweet little story about a lamb that has to learn on how to be careful in the big world, breathing the idea of Bambi and Lambert the Sheepish Lion. Jump to the second half to realize why the movie instead is often compared to Attack on Titan and Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Doesn't help that the original book had a beautifully watercolored art style even as it quickly enters darker territory. | |

The last Smurf in his generation that he sees dying when this happens is his half-brother Brainy. In "The New Shop In The Village", Empath in a dream sees the village in a decayed state after most of the Smurfs and Smurfettes in it have succumbed to doing all sorts of drugs, which was after Empath as its new leader has legalized the use of smurfnip once a new strain has been developed that produces only the high but not the Marijuana Is LSD-type hallucinations. | |

Villains by Necessity: Turns out that wickedness and evil are needed in the world, otherwise a cosmos of nothing but virtue and innocence will be wiped out in a great blinding light, essentially this trope. On a smaller scale, the protagonists at one point find a village of Gnifty Gnomes; tiny, disgustingly cute little critters who only want to play games and sing songs. After our villains narrowly escape their proposed party, Blackmail gallantly chops down a tree that crushes their village, wiping them out. |

Spore Galactic Adventures has two missions made by the cast of Robot Chicken. One of them, "Litterbox Gulch" is a battle between a variety of adorable creatures and bears. The Cute Creatures inhabit a cutesy land and the bears inhabit a disgusting one filled with lakes of what appears to be poop. Another one, entitled "That's My Lunch", is about a little girl named Suzy Woozy leading her pets to a place called "Hugz Valley". On the way, you encounter two monsters called "Blood Beasts", who make you lure Suzy away from her pets so they can lure in a pet to eat. After you have helped them kill them all, Suzy says "Death, Murdah, Scweams of the Dyin'! Bwifday Parties are best when they're paid for in souls!" And reveals to you that the Blood Beasts have killed her pets every year and she simply buys new ones. Many fan-created adventures consist of cute creatures fighting evil creatures, or the other way around. The "Creepy and Cute" parts pack almost encouraged this. Due to the game's cartoony nature, almost all of the violence can be considered this. |

South Park The three-parter, "Imaginationland", in which the land of good thoughts is being slaughtered by the land of bad thoughts. This also cued the return of the Woodland Critters that Cartman had thought up. They're a level of nasty so bad that even Jason didn't want to meet the person that imagined them! "Woodland Critter Christmas". The sickeningly cute, (yet devil-worshiping) Woodland Critters are subject to a Sugar Apocalypse. To be fair, they DID deserve it. In "Dances with Smurfs", the Smurf village is destroyed by bulldozers. It wouldn't have been so funny if UNICEF had not already been there. The Amazon is commonly a victim of the Sugar Apocalypse in Green Aesops. To prevent this, the kids are forced by their parents to join a choir to travel to the Amazon. The choir is even more sugary. By the end of the episode, nature abhors a vegan, and they all want to destroy the Amazon. |

Strawberry Shortcake's world has been targeted with this in parodies (see above), but years before those the first of the 1980s animated specials actually played the trope straight. In The World of Strawberry Shortcake, the Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak manages to magically flood the valley of Strawberryland by tricking the kids into using a never-runs-dry watering can that only he can stop, and once they've given him what he wants (all of its strawberries) and the waters recede, it's reduced to a muddy wallow. It isn't even restored to its Sugar Bowl self until the next special. | |

In Oz the Great and Powerful there's Oz as a whole, and the land of Teacups and porcelain people in particular. Though there are dangers in Oz most of it highly colorful, whimsical and safe, especially those parts under the good witch Glinda's protection. The "apocalypse" comes in from the wicked witch besieging it with flying monkeys; the land of Teacups is shattered and its denizens massacred. Main character China Girl is actually introduced after having had both of her legs broken to bits. The rest of the movie could be seen as an attempt to undo this trope and save Oz. | |

Gravity Falls, a sleepy, eccentric town populated by kooky and (for the most part) well-intentioned citizens…destined to be the site of the apocalypse. The darkness begins to set in at the beginning of Season 2, cumulating in Wham Episode "Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future", which ends with the sky opening up and demons pouring out. "Weirdmageddon Part 2: Escape From Reality", the second part of the show's finale. Bill traps Mabel in a world of all the things she likes, which makes it sickeningly bright and cutesy with the same 80s song looping over and over. When Mabel agrees to go back to the real world, it transforms into a hellscape worthy of Bill. |
