* A number of extended musical dream sequences from ''TheSimpsons'' definitely qualify, for instance Homer in the Land of Chocolate in "Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk", Lisa's laughing gas-induced [[strike:Yellow Submarine]] Purple Submersible hallucination in "Last Exit to Springfield" and the hauntingly poetic "Little Nemo" hommage an overworked Homer drops into when he falls asleep at the wheel in "Lisa's Pony". Speaking of the latter, ''Little Nemo in Slumberland'' and ''Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend'' would also easily qualify if they were set to music.

Clarified. Did not delete since it would only be re-added anyhow, and it is relevant enough to be worth mentioning.


* ''{{Fantasia}}'' can be thought of as an excuse to make an entire movie of these. However, this may be something of a subversion in that ''Fantasia'' really lacked a sustained plot to deviate from with its musical numbers (though it should be noted that all but two of the musical numbers had a plot inspired by the piece of music it was set to). The same can be said of ''Fantasia 2000''.
** The two "non-plot-driven" pieces in ''Fantasia'': "Meet the Soundtrack", and the Bach Toccata and Fugue in D-minor.
* "Pink Elephants on Parade" in ''{{Dumbo}}'' is probably the best example because it's chemically induced within the story. Though this scene is generally associated with LSD culture, pink elephants are actually a reference to hallucinations suffered by alcoholics during withdrawal, a condition called Delirium Tremens or "The DT's." A particularly delicious Belgian ale is called Delirium Tremens and features pink elephants on the bottle.

** Given that every other musical number happens within the confines of the world around them DESPITE being a shop backroom full of hacked together 'mutant' appliances and the cars in a junkyard being sent to the crusher, Cutting Edge definately counts as the Acid Sequence.

** 1/2 also has Timon's song, "That's All I Need."" The sequence of the 'props' sliding out back to the Savannah and the sarcastic applause of the hyenas makes it very clear that, far from a bunch of animals just displaying amazing choreography, this is genuine daydreaming/acid consumption territory.
