The two I can think of that no one mention yet are Mummies Alive!, Meet the Robinsons and does Back to the Future count?
Also does someone from the future sent to the present count since Star Trek series had done that a few times.
God I hate that concept used in media. It annoyed me to no end when the character act like "what is this" or "what is that?".
EDIT- I just remember that French anime wannabe show Martin Mystery were one of the main casts is Java, caveman. There was one episode dedicated to his origin as in how they thaw him out of the ice and with him learning the modern way.

Yeah...that's why I'd prefer a zombie apocalypse going on or something, less mucking around having awkward misunderstandings which are supposed to be funny, but still able to use modern locations.Scarim Coral said:

Oh, Mako Mermaids (under various alternative titles). Three mermaids interact with humans on land. Quite a bit of comedic not understanding of things, but not too much, IMHO.
Well, there's that disney movie: "Enchanted" I think. Where a disney princess shows up in the real world.Boo8er said:
I'm also pretty sure I've seen an anime like that. It was a comedy, based on his antics reacting to everything, but I can't remember which one. I honestly can't remember anything about it.
You could try the anime Asu no Yoichi. It's sorta similar. The MC didn't travel through time, but he was raised in the mountains by his father as a samurai until he was 16, so you get kinda the same antics. Fair warning though, it's a harem. As I recall, it was pretty funny.
There are episodes like that in Inuyasha, another anime. The main show is the reverse, but sometimes the half demon travels through time to find the MC.
I wanna say I've seen a movie like that as well, but that might be my imagination.
Interesting topic. If I remember any more, I'll be sure to comment them in.
Sleepy Hollow is a current TV show with that sort of plot. Not quite a "time travel through portal" or anything but more of a "put in a magical death-like sleep and revived in our time".
Now I think about it, wouldn't the Disney films like Enchanted, Splash and The Little Mermaid count that is depending what the OP mean by "modern" world? Modern as in this very day or modern as the literal present setting used in that film setting?thaluikhain said:
There's been a few by season 7. The phoenix, 7 had The Untouchables where Dean geeks out... I can't remember any else right now, in addition to that French something.Guffe said:There's an episode in the series Supernatural in which this happens.
A demon sends the two main characters into "our universe" were of course, no demons and angels excist, and were the two main characters are two actors in a TV series.
Funny episode
Am at work now so won't start searching for it, but if you want the episode name and number, quote me, ask and I'll search it up when I have time.
"A French Mistake" was the episode I was thinking about.Auberon said:There's been a few by season 7. The phoenix, 7 had The Untouchables where Dean geeks out...

Season 6, episode 15.
I know the other ones you're talking about too.
But I don't think those are wgat he's after, "A French Mistake" is exactly what he asks for, just because they're doing something "normal" in those other episodes there are still supernatural creatures in them.
book two in the dark tower series by Stephen king titled 'the drawing of the three'
It's fantasy based and is my favourite book of the series, would tell more but spoilers etc...

There's a French movie called "Les Visiteurs" (The visitors) It's about a 12th century knight and his squire who get sent to the future. (Well, the 90's to be exact.) I caught it on TV once, and it became one of my favorite comedies.
There was a romantic comedy with Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan called Kate and Leopold which involved an edwardian gentlemen being sent into the modern day. It's not particularly good overall and there are some unfortunate implications in it but the fish out of water stuff I recall being good because of Hugh Jackman's acting chops.
While it really isn't what he's looking for, I just have to throw in and agree that this series is awesome.KenAri said:
Enchanted is a movie about fairy tales characters (generic, not anything recognizable) passing onto the real world. It's pretty good.
Once Upon a Time is the obvious answer, too.

*chuckle / sob* Why can I remember things like this, is there absolutely nothing better for my synapses to do?

In 1984, there was a movie called Iceman that was based on that premise. And unlike Encino Man, it WASN'T a festering pile of excrement pretending to be a comedy.CommanderL said:
In all honesty, it's actually one I want to go back and watch again. Intelligent science fiction that wrangles with ethical and moral problems, and does it well, are far too rare.
