* A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Z-yxe3g7Y Jeep ad referenced and parodied]] this when various woodland creatures climb into an SUV and [[CrowdSong sing "Rock Me Gently" with the driver.]]

* One {{Advertising/Progressive}} ad shows a florist happily talking to animated flowers, birds, and butterflies. The scene immeidately goes into MoodWhiplash once a talking puddle admits to seriously injuring one of the florist's customers, at which point the illusion ends.

* After Halloween in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13586946/22/Sons-and-Daughters-of-Sineya Sons and Daughters of Sineya]]'', Willow unthinkingly starts singing while doing chores. Since she went as a disney princess for Halloween, this summons a bunch of local animals to help her clean, something which rather freaks her out even if they were surprisingly helpful, including three raccoons using the vacuum. Giles shrugs the whole thing off once he learns that Willow is only summoning ''local'' animals and thus won't upset the ecology.

* ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'':
** In ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'', Fiona ends up singing with a bird... then she accidentally causes it to explode with a high note, so she cooks its eggs for breakfast.
** Done again in ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''. During the attack on the castle, Snow White first gathers a mob of woodland animals by singing happily, then switches to Music/LedZeppelin's "Immigrant Song" to send them to attack the guards.
* [[SelfDeprecation Disney even parodies themselves]]:

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}''. Whenever Artemis appeared, she would be surrounded by animals like this... until they started getting in her way and tripping her, at which point she would start yelling at them to leave her alone. And Meg is perfectly aware that the friendly animals approaching her [[spoiler:are really the demons Pain and Panic in disguise.]]

** ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany''. [[RichBitch Georgette]] attracts a flock of bluebirds to act as a combination of attendants, chorus, and [[InterspeciesRomance starstruck fans]] during "Perfect Isn't Easy." And Georgette is no sweet young thing; she's a beautiful but brassy... [[LastSecondWordSwap poodle]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'': When they're camped for the night, Poppy starts singing to relax and an annoyed Branch demands she stop so he can sleep, saying he like silence. In order to [[{{Pun}} troll]] him, Poppy starts singing [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel "The Sound of Silence"]], and is soon accompanied by a host of small woodland creatures and even the plants.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree'': Fluttershy, upon finding out she can now talk to animals, accidentally lets the word spread among avians, who promptly swarm her. She ends up with half-a-dozen songbirds and two owls perched on her spread arms (and one on her head). Despite never meaning this to happen, she stays polite to them ("It's nice to meet all of you, too.") and looks endearingly awkward as Sunset questions her about this.

* A classic example is in ''Film/NineToFive'', when Lily Tomlin's character is [[FantasySequence fantasizing about]] [[BadBoss poisoning her boss]], [[RogerRabbitEffect with a group of Disney-esque animals watching and encouraging as she prepares to do so]]. She's even wearing a Snow White costume!
* Giselle in Disney's ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' starts off as a straight example of FriendToAllLivingThings, but when she ends up in the [[RealLife Real World]] and summons cockroaches, pigeons, flies and rats to clean the apartment...[[FridgeLogic yes, you read that right]]. Cockroaches and rats are a lot cleaner than most people give them credit for (both stay clean in much the same way as your average house cat does) but it's still pretty {{squick}}y. Watch the scene for yourself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb2si7fClqA here]].

* ''[[Literature/{{Spellsinger}} Day of the Dissonance]]'': A young girl is used in an attempt to lure in a a unicorn. It fails to work because the unicorn in question is gay.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''

* The ''Series/MrShow'' sketch "Biosphere" features a lonely scientist on New Year's Eve unsuccessfully asking woman scientists to spend the night with him. In between each one, he talks with his [[RogerRabbitEffect animated animal friends]] for advice. His step-fairy godmother shows up with a solution [[spoiler:[[BestialityIsDepraved in which the animals come on to him]]]].

** ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations Trials and Tribulations]]'''s Dahlia Hawthorne is shown with butterflies around her at various points. Upon TheReveal, [[spoiler:''they burst into flames''.]]

* ''VideoGame/TwistedWonderland'' gives Silver this ability; this attracts speculation from the fandom that he is based on [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Princess Aurora]].

* In ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'' [[WholesomeCrossdresser Princess Kenny]] can summon up a swarm of rats to attack his enemies by singing. However, if you fail the button prompts the rats will turn on Kenny and devour him.

* ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell''

** This gets used to a particularly creepy effect following [[spoiler: her FreakOut, when she starts attracting swarms of ''bats''.]]
* ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'' also did [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/620/ a strip about this trope]].
* In ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'', [[http://yafgc.net/comic/2221-the-plan-is-executed/ the princess is doing the traditional]] "sing and attract woodland creatures" bit but the nearby goblins are essentially using her as bait.

* From ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/maintaining-perfectly/ Nick is a "Whimsy Princess".]] [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/color-coordinated/ It doesn't go as planned.]]

* Animals are inexplicably drawn to ''Creator/AchievementHunter's'' [[AxeCrazy Ryan Haywood]] despite his tendency to either murder them, trap them in holes, or [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking name them Edgar]].
* ''Website/TheOnion'': [[http://www.theonion.com/article/ted-cruz-dressed-campaign-rally-swarm-loyal-vermin-52859 Ted Cruz Dressed For Campaign Rally By Swarm Of Loyal Vermin]]

* Of course, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had to do it at least once. (Not even counting TheMovie.)
** In the episode "Homer the Heretic", after Homer finds religion, he strolls his garden serenely and animals flock to him. Cut to later, when they're still flocking around him while he's taking a shower, and he asks "Guys, can you give me five minutes?"
** In a four-story episode Lisa (as Snow White) gets help making dinner from all the woodland animals; the birds chop the carrots, the squirrels bring food and even the tortoise gets to take a nice bath in some boiling water.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Roger asks Francine to make a dish using an adorable bird. We see her in the kitchen, with the bird flying around her head while it mimics everything she sings. Then in a flash, she grabs the bird and drowns it in the pot of water on the stove, with [[StepfordSmiler a creepily apathetic look on her face.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', Princess Clara (an {{Expy}} of Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es) has the ability to summon woodland creatures to join her when she sings a song. In the episode "Requiem for a Reality Show", after half the cast is denied food privileges after losing a contest, Spanky and Wooldoor resort to tricking Clara into singing her song again so they can hunt the gathering animals for food. She finds out when her sing [[RaisingTheSteaks reanimates their cooked remains]]. [[LeaveNoWitnesses Then she kills the last of the critters so he won't tell the others]].
* The Woodland Critters from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' are a subtler, but clear parody of this... Stan realizes this when they tell him they want to bring about the birth of the Anti-Christ (a much less-subtle TakeThat at Disney).

* When ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' is [[LiteralSplitPersonality split into a good and evil version of himself,]] eventually Darkwing's super-powered good side is surrounded by woodland creatures that come out of nowhere.

* In ''WesternAnimation/JinxyJenkinsAndLuckyLou'', one of the [[BlessedWithSuck annoyingly convenient]] things that happen to Lou is being hounded by a pair of overly-friendly bluebirds with a wreath of flowers. At least they lead to her [[CrashIntoHello literally running into Jenkins]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/EverAfterHigh'', as Apple White pledges to follow her fairytale destiny, she holds her arms out and bluebirds swoop down to perch on them.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2015'' two-parter "Black Vortex", Gamora gets stuck in a fairy-tale world with a band of cheerful cartoon forest animals.
-->'''Gamora:''' I'm not who you think I am. I'm not a princess, and I ''definitely'' don't sing.
* Also used in ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'', where the WoodlandCreatures reveal (in song, no less!) that the only reason they help princesses out with their chores is to get some food.

** Dahlia Hawthorne is shown with butterflies around her at various points. Upon TheReveal, [[spoiler:''they burst into flames''.]]
** Likewise, Acro from ''Justice For All'' is shown with birds at random, even landing on his hands. Nothing happens to the birds, but [[spoiler:he's the case's killer]]. Although, his "getting angry" animation consists of the birds [[TranquilFury quietly fluttering away]], and once, when he thinks Phoenix doesn't have a leg to stand on (and Phoenix is beginning to entertain the same notion), one of his birds flies over to peck at Phoenix's forehead.
** In ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations 2'', one killer's breakdown is the local (previously doting) fauna each taking a turn to beat them up.
