Five Stories Featuring Cryonics and Suspended Animation

This is a ridiculously common trope. Buck Rogers anyone? There
have been any number of movies and TV shows around this. I mean,
there is even a Louis de Funès film (_Hibernatus_).

And a Woody Allen, _The Sleeper_ (1973).

[stuff deleted]
 
The Woody Allen movie was _Sleeper_, with a very fetching Diane Keaton,
and a Volkswagen Bug found in a cave that started right up.
 

That was both a joke and a product placement.

Lin Carter did an interesting variation in his Ganelon Silvermane series.

Ganelon is a construct of the Time Vault, a creation of the ancients
which animates individuals sort of like living Seldon Crisis resolvers
from time to time.  Unfortunately, SOMETHING HAPPENED and Ganelon
was released early with no training, and no idea what he would have
been supposed to have done at the (presumably) far future time he
would have been animated.

I'm not sure the series was ever resolved, though I see in isfdb that there
was a book released outside of the DAW run which I may have to check out.
