Character leaves a trail of things behind, Ã la Hansel and Gretel. Sometimes, as in the aforementioned tale, the trail is left to find one's way back. Other times, it's used by someone else to follow them. This is usually to represent a character's resourcefulness either as a tracker or as a planner for when/if the need to backtrack is found. Bread Crumbs need not be consumable or even material; sometimes the trail is one of footprints, golden twine, even an aroma of a special perfume. It, however, is usually not permanent, capable of being destroyed or tampered with by outside forces, such as wild birds or trickster-like beings, although even this is not the one rule. Compare to Trail of Blood, where the "things" left behind are blood drops. If a video game does this, it's Follow the Money. Unrelated to Story Breadcrumbs. |

After Commissioner Gordon is taken hostage in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman tracks him down by the trail of tobacco clumps Gordon was leaving behind. Throughout the games, Batman also tracks down certain places and people by following various DNA evidence, although in those cases they weren't intentionally leaving a trail. | |

Adventure Time: In "The Limit", Jake uses his elastic powers to serve as a guide through a huge, winding maze for Finn and Hot Dog Princesses' knights. But between various traps and the Hot Dog Knights egging him on, Jake wears himself out and is stretched to his absolute limit by the time they reach the center of the maze. In "The Hard Easy", Jake leaves a trail of lollipops to help him and Finn navigate through a swamp while tracking down a monster. Unfortunately, Jake eventually runs out of lollipops, and the Mega-Frog's trail is so winding that they end up getting lost anyway. |

In the Uncle Scrooge story, "McDuck of Arabia," one of the nephews is kidnapped by the villains and is taken out into the infamous "Empty Quarter" desert of Arabia to force a friend to lead them to the treasure of the Queen of Sheba. Along the way, the nephew seems to be throwing about stones randomly. In reality, he is able to secretly create an arrow out of those stones and thus gives his pursuing brothers and a local troop of Junior Woodchucks some idea of where the villains are going. | |

In one episode of The Jetsons, when George goes to the moon with Elroy's space scout troupe, he gets lost with his boss's son, Arthur. Elroy and the other scouts leave them a trail of torn map for them to follow back to camp, but it gets sucked up by a random moon cleaner. Even worse, when George tries to ask him for directions, the guy has no idea where the moon's landmarks arenote even though he's lived there his entire life. | |

In The Smurfs comic book story "Bathing Smurfs", the Smurfs trick Gargamel into leaving his camping area near the Smurf Village by saying that his house is on fire, and then set up a bonfire behind the house to make it look like the house was on fire. Gargamel tries to one-up the Smurfs by leaving a trail of cherries behind him so that he can find his way back to the camping spot, but on his return, he sees that a bear is scooping up the cherries and eating them. | |

One Usagi Yojimbo story has Usagi finding a wounded warrior. The man claims to be a bounty hunter seeking a bandit named Toshi, and asks Usagi to take him to his hideout nearby. When they get to the hideout, Usagi is mobbed by bandits, and the warrior reveals himself to be Toshi. Before they can kill Usagi, a pack of real bounty hunters attack the hideout. Usagi reveals that on the way, he left a trail of broken twigs for anyone to follow. If Toshi had been a real bounty hunter as he claimed, it would mean nothing, but it's a good thing Usagi had been Crazy-Prepared, eh? | |

In the Thomas & Friends episode, "Nia and the Unfriendly Elephant", Nia is tasked with delivering a new elephant to the Animal Park. However, this elephant is stubborn and doesn't want to get into Nia's wagon. One of Nia's attempts to get her in involves her taking a wagon of apples from Percy so the elephant's keeper can leave a trail of apples to lead her into the wagon. This appears to work at first, but halfway through the trail, the elephant gets tired and lies down. | |

In the Dennis the Menace episode, "Big Baby", Alice has Dennis look after Sylvester, the infant son of Mrs. Atkins. Around the same time, PeeBee goes to Dennis' house to show Dennis his new super growth formula, which he keeps in a baby bottle since just one drop makes things bigger. Sylvester gets ahold of the bottle and drinks most of the formula, causing him to grow to an enormous size. As PeeBee works on the antidote, Sylvester crawls off to a water treatment plant. To lead Sylvester back to his house, Dennis uses what's left of the super growth formula on some jelly beans and leaves a trail of them for Sylvester to follow. | |

Naruto: It was deliberately invoked by Kabuto, who left a trail of dead bodies for the Konoha-tracker-nins all the way to Madara's base, leaving both the trackers and the readers confused as to his true loyalties. In Chapter 498, we learn that when Kushina was kidnapped, she left a trail of her hair for someone to follow. Minato was the only one who spotted the trail, which led to their eventual Rescue Romance. |

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends does a variant in "Dinner is Swerved". When Mac and Bloo get lost in a maze of hallways in Foster's, Bloo decides to leave a trail of laundry from the laundry room to help them keep track of where they've been. Unfortunately, Wilt, Coco, and Eduardo (who are looking for Mac and Bloo) see the laundry and decide to pick it up. Hilariously, at one point, Coco eats some of the clothing, making it literally bread crumbs in a sense. | |

The Track psyenergy in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn allows you to follow a scent path to find your way around. However the only times it's useful are in the first dungeon you can use it in (and it isn't necessary if you know how to traverse it), and a puzzle in the final dungeon that requires you to follow the hidden scent path to unlock a gate. | |

Artemus Gordon of The Wild Wild West comes up with several different devices which leave a trail for the good guys to follow, including a trick briefcase which bleeds luminescent dust and special tape which adheres to carriage wheels and leaves a trail only visible through special lenses. | |

Averted, then played straight in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Tom and Becky Thatcher became lost in the local caves because they didn't leave a trail (of candle-smoke marks) to find their way back. Then a couple pages later, when he was exploring side passages to try to find a way out, he used a big piece of kite string to keep from getting even more lost. | |

In the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode, "Musta Been a Beautiful Baby", Dr. Robotnik's decrepitizer, which he intended to use to age Sonic into a senior, is put in reverse and turns Sonic, Tails, and eventually Robotnik himself into babies. The three are eventually found by Miss Saccharine and put in a daycare center. One of the traps Robotnik sets involves him leaving a trail of red jelly beans to a merry-go-round rigged to go off when a dog tied to it starts running. It gets foiled when Miss Saccharine Sonic and Tails go brush their teeth. After complaining that the only jelly beans he has to eat are black and green ones he doesn't like, Robotnik sees the trail of red jelly beans and starts eating them and gets tricked into getting spun on the merry-go-round when the dog wakes up. | |

"Hansel and Gretel" is the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier. The breadcrumbs didn't work; as you might expect, they were eaten by birds. The first time, they tried a trail of stones, which did work. The Wicked Stepmother got wise to this and prevented them from using it a second time, so they had to resort to bread. | |

Moment - Lanning, unable to give him any explicit information about what's happening at USR, has instead left a trail of clues - "breadcrumbs" - that will allow him to unravel the mystery once followed. He even name-drops the Trope Maker while explaining the idea to Dr. Calvin. | |

In Taskmaster, one of the tasks in the fifth series involves the contestants being taken out to the middle of a field wearing a blindfold and asked to walk in a random direction, still blindfolded, for three minutes before having another three minutes to find their way back to the starting point. In a clear nod to Hansel and Gretel they are given as literal slice of bread, with the unspoken and implicit suggestion that they should use it to mark their starting point and leave a trail for themselves. Amusingly, only Bob Mortimer actually twigs to the fairy tale reference and uses the bread in the intended fashion from the start; two others, Aisling Bea and Mark Watson, only realise the purpose of the bread once they've already started and are some distance away from the starting point (and Mark's bread trail ends up being eaten by a dog before he can use it), whereas two others — Sally Phillips and Nish Kumar — never actually figure it out and just end up wandering around aimless and bewildered. Perhaps not surprisingly, Mortimer is the only one who finds his way back to the starting point and wins the round. | |

In a Crayon Shin-chan spoof of Hansel and Gretel in which the titular character plays the younger brother to a pair of Hansel and Gretel Expy, the Gretel expy said she's not foolish enough to leave behind breadcrumbs "to be eaten by animals, like the two idiots Hansel and Gretel" and opts to drop tiny metal beads. Unfortunately, all the beads gets picked up by a gambler who's on his way to a pachinko machine club, so they still end up getting lost in the woods. | |

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Will Turner leaves a trail of bodies strapped to barrels in order to lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove. At least until Jack interferes and sends Will with them. The "birds eat the trail" aspect is inverted, as scavenging seabirds that flock around the bodies actually make it easier for Beckett to spot them and follow. | |

Doctor Who: The Fifth Doctor searches the Tardis for a "Zero Room" to recuperate in after regenerating. As he's still a little potty from the process, he leaves a trail to find his way by ripping off pieces from his clothing. As this included unravelling the Fourth Doctor's iconic scarf, some fans found it rather upsetting. In "In The Forest Of The Night", Maebh drops various items so Clara and the Doctor can find her as she runs to the source of the forest. Hansel and Gretel get a mention. |

In The Rabbit with the Checkered Ears' episode "Kriszta, the Indian", Kriszta gets a bit overenthusiastic while pretending to be an American Indian and takes her friend Menyus prisoner. When the series' title character flies to Menyus' rescue, there is a trail of broken cookies from a bag he had bought earlier leading from the corner where Kriszta took him captive back to her house. (In a nod to Hansel and Gretel, some of the cookies are attracting the attention of the local bird population, but not enough to break the trail.) | |

Johnny Bravo: Johnny once used a trail of bread crumbs thinking it would help him find his way home. Sure enough, birds ate the trail and he got lost even though he was right outside his house. Another time, Johnny, Carl, and Susie were traveling in the woods and Carl used a trail of pebbles while stating Hansel and Gretel's mistake. They get lost because Johnny eats the pebbles. |

Secret Magic Control Agency: In reference to the original Hansel and Gretel tale, one of the magical gadgets that the SMCA gives the siblings is a set of small stones that can be dropped while travelling, and later activated so they shine a beacon of light into the sky allowing the user to retrace their steps. Hansel is seen dropping the stones at various points during the film. | |

In HyperRogue, the Orb of Yendor quest requires you to follow a trail that leads to a key. Then you must get back to the Orb of Yendor that spawned the key. Since the game uses hyperbolic geometry, the only way to return is to set up some sort of breadcrumbs trail so you could go back exactly the same way — otherwise you'll become hopelessly lost. | |

When one of the companions loses his nerve and tries to flee, he discovers to his horror that the Minotaur has already messed up the trail, with lines in the dirt going out in all of the Maze's branches. In "Surprise", Hercules navigates another maze by somehow leaving a trail of oil from a rather small jar. When it's time for him to leave, he throws down a torch that ignites the oil, creating a flaming trail back to the entrance. |

Star Trek: Voyager In "Faces", the trope is lampshaded when subspace transponders are used so an Away Team won't get lost in a Mobile Maze. In "Collective", Harry Kim leaves a trail of playing cards as he goes into the Borg cube to sabotage its shield generator. However one of the Borg children ends up finding the trail and uses it to track down Harry. In "The Fight", beacons are being released to help Voyager navigate its way out of Chaotic Space, only the ship runs into the first beacon they released an hour earlier. |

In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Mac is seen secretly dropping little blinking radio beacons so the Russians can follow him. Why he couldn't just keep one on him and have them track that is unclear, maybe they have limited range. | |

The Famous Five: In Five on a Treasure Island, Julian makes chalk marks on the walls of the dungeons, so they do not get lost. These marks are referred to again in Five Run Away Together. In Five Go To Smuggler's Top, Mr Barling uses string to show the way through the secret tunnels. He does this for the benefit of Block, but the children find it. In Five Fall Into Adventure, the Five get lost in a wood. Jo tells them they are daft for not marking the trees to show their way back. In Five Go To Billycock Hill, the Five visit caves which contain roped tunnels, with a sign warning them to beware of losing their way in the unroped tunnels. |

In EarthBound Beginnings, you can eat the Bread item to recover some HP. However, if you Use it instead, you get Crumbs, and by using Crumbs, you return to the spot you were in when you used the bread. Handy! | |
