* ''WesternAnimation/{[Encanto}}'' has Luisa's song "Surface Pressure", which is full of fantastical, colorful visuals of her doing things like fighting Cerberus or literally balancing the whole world on her shoulders like Atlas. Since the song is about Luisa feeling a lot of stress from trying to be useful to everyone, the visuals are meant to be symbolic of her insecurities.

* Though primarily live-action, ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'' still manages to include an ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DiZeVptAoM animated]]'' Acid Sequence that's animated by none other than Creator/DonBluth!

* The first half of "I Want You", "I Am the Walrus", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse''.

* The opening scenes in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' take place inside a video game and Andy's imagination, respectively. Both depict an ActionMontage before pulling a BaitAndSwitch as the scene shifts back to Andy's room. In Toy Story 3, Andy is imagining the action while playing on the floor of his room, which is revealed to be part of a series of Home Movies by Andy's mom, which in turn is revealed to be Woody reliving those memories in a dream.

** ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'' has Miss Piggy fantasize about being the center of an underwater ballet, in which the film's villain sings-except after returning to reality and learning said villain's TrueColors, she scornfully tells him, "You know what? You can't even sing! Your voice was dubbed!" Then again, the film had NoFourthWall ''whatsoever'', and she was under considerable emotional duress at the time.

%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' has the IWantSong, "I Just Can't Wait to Be King".

* ''VisualNovel/ILoveYouColonelSanders'' has an opening cinematic that's so wackily over the top that looks like it was made while on a heaping dose of LSD.

* ''WesternAnimation/LittlePrincess'' has a opening sequence that is completely abstract and surreal, and only has one single line of lyrics repeated through the whole opening.

* Without exception, all animation done by [=YouTuber=] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/cyriak Cyriak]]'' qualifies for this trope. See particularly the "Cows and Cows and Cows" Video, where you get cows that morph into {{Eldritch Abomination}}s through the dark arts of Adobe After Effects. Heck, any of Cyriak's videos has heaping doses of terrifying MindScrew-flavored eldritch beasts that looks like it was created while he was high on ''something''.

-->'''Wonka:''' There's no earthly way of knowing... Which direction we are going... There's no knowing where we're rowing... Or which way the river's flowing... Is it raining? Is it snowing?... Is a hurricane a-blowing?... Not a speck of light is showing so the danger ''must'' be growing... Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?... Is the grisly Reaper mowing?... YES! THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING!! AND THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!! ''*guttural scream*''
