* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Shellmon's debut episode has him do PokemonSpeak the whole time. When he returns, he's talking normally.
* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'':
** Episodes 20 and 21 imply that Chimeramon is not just a mindless monster and that it can apparently talk to Ken via telepathy.
** Not counting the title card, [=BlackWarGreymon=] doesn't talk until the end of his debut episode where it's revealed that he can not only talk, but has his own free will. Prior to that, he's grunting and screaming the whole time.
** A lot of Digimon from species who were presented as silent or taciturn in ''Adventure'' are now talking in this series. This is justified, since said Digimon featured here are Partner Digimon.
* ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolySecondComing'': Throughout the movie, Broly is either screaming or saying/yelling Kakarot's name. When he's preparing for the BeamOWar with Gohan, Broly suddenly speaks normally for three seconds.



** The CuteMute Lily-Strosek breaks her silence when she calls for Thoma's name. Since then she talks normally, albeit with a quite voice.

* ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'': Cure Muse doesn't talk, instead having her Fairy Tone speak for her. It turns out to be because hearing her voice would be a dead give-away as to her SecretIdentity - [[spoiler: an elementary schooler.]]

*** In the Japanese version, Injection Fairy Lily has always been capable of speech. The arc she's introduced also features the Deck Master system, which allows a few of the Deck Master monsters to talk to their owner. Lily is none of those, and she keeps speaking in later appearances. Although her speech is limited to injection shots.

* In "Film/The House Bunny", The character Lilly played by Kiely Williams, is silent throughout the whole movie. Only communicating via text messages. She finally speaks towards the climax to everyone's surprise revealing that she's actually British.

* ''VideoGame/{{Mothered}}'': An interesting case where this trope is PlayedForHorror. Throughout the game, Liana is unable to speak, and the few times she tries she finds that she can't. [[spoiler:When her CORE begins to synchronize with her robotic body enough, she musters the ability to say something. But her voice comes out as electronic and strained, which only horrifies her mother and brother.]]

** The carnivorous dinosaurs in the movie series always grunted and roared whereas the herbivorous ones had full speech (except Spike)--until Chomper's re-introduction. In the second movie, Chomper made animal noises just like any of the other tyrannosauruses; but when he was brought back in later movies, he could talk and converse with the main characters. He remains the exception to the rule though. It turns out that said grunting and roaring is simply a different language: By hanging out with Littlefoot and his crew for some time and with his parents the rest of the time, he became bilingual. At one point, they changed them to speaking Spanish for some reason.



* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': In "Best Clowns In Town", Austin the Clown spends a majority of the episode silent while he communicates by honking his horn. At the end of the episode, Austin suddenly talks by suggesting they have popcorn. {{Lampshaded}} immediately afterwards when the other two clowns and Ringmaster Tyrone gasp in surprise as Uniqua says "Austin, you spoke!"



* The series adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' voiced Spike, though he was speaking inside his head.
** The fourth movie, ''Journey Through the Mists'', play is straight: when Ducky is thrown into peril towards the end and causes a SayMyName moment amongst her friends, Spike goes, "Duuuhh... duuuhh... duuuhh... '''DUCKY!!!'''" {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d immediately after with everybody else doing a collective gasp directed at him.

* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseFunhouse'': ''Pluto'' of all characters finally gets to talk in the episode "Daisy and the Missing Dream". Given that it takes place within the [[DreamLand Land of Dreams]], it's to be expected.

Linked to Little No in the Doom Slayer's entry.


* Throughout the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' series, the Doomguy is traditionally a HeroicMime. In ''VideoGame/DoomEternal'', the Doom Slayer actually gets a couple of lines in flashbacks and [[spoiler:delivers a "No" to the Dark Lord Davoth when asked if he has a PreMortemOneLiner to give]].

* ''WebAnimation/HelloKittyAndFriendsSupercuteAdventures'': [[SweetSheep Piano the sheep]] (aka "My Sweet Piano" and "Piano-chan") is heard speaking in the season 2 episode "Cinnamoroll's Dance Craze". However she reverted back to communicating by bleating in the episode "Kuromi's Girls' Day Toy Hunt" when she was invited to Kuromi and My Melody's "Girls' Day Party".
