Editing Gremlin (section)

===Film===
* In 1943, [[Bob Clampett]] directed ''[[Falling Hare]]'', a ''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' cartoon featuring [[Bugs Bunny]]. Inspired by [[Roald Dahl]]'s book and Walt Disney's proposed film, this short is one of the earliest films to include multiple gremlins, though only one was consequential.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/merry_melodies_falling_hare ''Merrie Melodies: Falling Hare''] at [[Internet Archive]] Movie Archive (The film is now in public domain) {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100722212953/https://archive.org/details/merry_melodies_falling_hare |date=22 July 2010 }}</ref> It features Bugs Bunny in conflict with a gremlin, first at an airfield and then in an airborne plane. It was followed in 1944 by ''[[Russian Rhapsody (film)|Russian Rhapsody]]'', another ''Merrie Melodies'' short showing Russian gremlins (modeled on Warner Brothers animation staff) sabotaging an aircraft piloted by [[Adolf Hitler]]. The gremlin in "Falling Hare" has a color scheme reflecting one used on [[U.S. Army Air Forces]] [[training aircraft]] of the time, using dark blue (as on such an aircraft's [[fuselage]]) and a deep [[Chrome yellow|orange-yellow]] color (as used on the wings and [[empennage|tail surfaces]]).
* The 1944 romantic comedy ''[[Johnny Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]'' had animated gremlins with an uncredited [[Mel Blanc]] providing the voice.
* The 1981 animated film ''[[Heavy Metal (film)|Heavy Metal]]'' contains a segment titled "B-17" had creatures referred to as "Gremlins" in which the sole surviving pilot of a battle weary aircraft is ravaged by the reanimated corpses of his fellow crew.
* The 1984 film ''[[Gremlins]]'', produced by [[Steven Spielberg]] and directed by [[Joe Dante]], is loosely inspired by Roald Dahl's characters, featuring evil and destructive monsters which mutate from small furry creatures. Murray Futterman, a WWII veteran calls the creatures "Real Gremlins". A sequel followed in 1990, called ''[[Gremlins 2: The New Batch]]''.
* In ''[[Cast a Deadly Spell]]'', a 1991 HBO [[television film]], gremlins are said to have been "brought back from the [[Pacific Ocean|pacific]]" to the United States in [[World War&nbsp;II]] and are seen damaging cars and houses.
* In ''[[Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa]]'' (2008), Alex sees Mort (mistaking him for a gremlin) messing with the engine and falling off the aircraft.
*In the movie franchise ''[[Hotel Transylvania]]'' the gremlins are seen as guests of the monster hotel built by [[Count Dracula]].
*A batlike gremlin appears in the 2020 film ''[[Shadow in the Cloud]]''. The film starts with a depiction of gremlins in WW II circa posters as a creative scapegoat used by airmen to deflect negligence in maintenance and responsibility for their aircraft. Once the protagonist boards the aircraft, she finds an actual gremlin is sabotaging the aircraft. The creature looks like a cross between a large bat with razor-sharp claws and a monkey with a long tail. The gremlin sabotages the aircraft by taking out an engine, attacking the protagonist in the lower turret and another crew member in the upper turret.
