History LampshadeHanging / AnimatedFilms

* In ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'': Blue's Big Musical Adventure, Steve finally says "why don't I ever find the clues first?"

* In ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'', Claire uses an umbrella that bares the exact same red-and-white alternating pattern as the Umbrella Corporation logo as a makeshift weapon, and states, "Huh. Never saw ''this'' coming."

* ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePoohSpringtimeForRoo'': Near the end, after an Easter version of YetAnotherChristmasCarol, Tigger observes Rabbit's [[TookALevelInKindness change of heart]] and asks "What the dickens -- (''AsideGlance'') and I mean '''Dickens''' -- is going on here?"

* In ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues'': Blue's Big Musical Adventure, Steve finally says "why don't I ever find the clues first?"
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', Remy the Rat finds out that he can control Linguini's actions by pulling on his hair like a puppeteer. When Remy experiments with this unlikely technique, Linguini notes with amusement, "That's strangely involuntary."
* ''Film/LooneyTunesBackInAction'' attempts to shrug off ProductPlacement by lampshading it. The heroes, lost in a desert, find a Wal-Mart, after which Daffy Duck proceeds to spout out half a dozen product names which he wants to buy, even remarking that he gets free drinks every time he says "Wal-Mart". One of the human characters remarks that "I think that at this point the viewers won't even notice anything abnormal in the scene."
-->'''Bugs Bunny:''' Nice of Wal-Mart to give us these Wal-Mart beverages in exchange for saying "Wal-Mart" so many times.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePoohSpringtimeForRoo'': Near the end, after an Easter version of YetAnotherChristmasCarol, Tigger observes Rabbit's [[TookALevelInKindness change of heart]] and asks "What the dickens -- (''AsideGlance'') and I mean '''Dickens''' -- is going on here?"
* In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanVsTheElite'', there's a scene where Supes is apparently blown up with the force of (according to Coldcast) fifteen supernovas, leaving nothing behind but a piece of his cape. This leads Manchester to state "How is that no matter how badly you massacre one of these thong-and-blanket types, some shred of their unmentionables still survives the blast?"

* In ''Anime/ResidentEvilDegeneration'', Claire uses an umbrella that bares the exact same red-and-white alternating pattern as the Umbrella Corporation logo as a makeshift weapon, and states, "Huh. Never saw ''this'' coming."

* In "WesternAnimation/FrozenFever", Elsa states "I don't get colds" in a preemptive lampshade for the fact that she's unaware that her sneezes spawn snowgies.

* In what was probably the earliest example of Disney lampshading a plot point from one of the fairy tales that they adapted, 1950's ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' has the Duke privately criticizing Prince Charming's plan of marrying the girl whose foot fits the glass slipper, as there could be numerous girls in the kingdom who could fit into it. The King, however, having been obsessed with marrying his bachelor son off and getting grandchildren, claims that those details are the Prince's problem and that he should have been more specific. Luckily for the Prince, it works out in the end.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePoohSpringtimeForRoo'': Near the end, after an Easter version of YetAnotherChristmasCarol, Tigger observes Rabbit's change of heart and asks "What the dickens -- (''AsideGlance'') and I mean '''Dickens''' -- is going on here?"

** Several jokes are this in a [[RealityEnsues less-obvious way]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011'' special ''[[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Springtime with Roo]]'', Tigger observes Rabbit's change of heart and asks "What the dickens -- (''AsideGlance'') and I mean '''Dickens''' -- is going on here?"

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'', Superman suggests a way to [[spoiler: protect the earth from destruction]].
-->'''Superman:''' Maybe I can move the earth out of the way?

** In the [[TheLEGOMovie2TheSecondPart sequel]], Benny cheerfully lampshades being a FlatCharacter during Queen Watevra Wa'Nabi's musical number.

** In ''Disney/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime'', the King has apparently changed his mind, and personally questions his son over that particular declaration.

* Numerous times in ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'':

* In the ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'' special ''[[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Springtime with Roo]]'', Tigger observes Rabbit's change of heart and asks "What the dickens -- (''AsideGlance'') and I mean '''Dickens''' -- is going on here?"

* In ''Disney/FrozenFever'', Elsa states "I don't get colds" in a preemptive lampshade for the fact that she's unaware that her sneezes spawn snowgies.

* * A lot of the humor in ''WesternAnimation/{{Storks}}'' comes from this trope. Given that this was the same studio as ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', this is to be expected:

* In ''Film/Looper'', Joe talks to Old Joe about his time travel and Old Joe interrupts him saying "I don't want to talk about time travel shit. Because if we talk about it, then we're gonna be here all day, drawing diagrams with straws.". It’s the way to avoid Boostrap paradox.
