* Giselle in Disney's ''{{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]].
** Watch the scene for yourself [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb2si7fClqA here]].
** To be fair 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).

The moment will happen the same way as described above. Except that, very likely, something horrible will happen to the creatures. Or the creatures will turn the tables and do something horrible to the human character. Or maybe nothing unusual happens at all, but it's obvious that the show is referencing this classic Disney moment (although very likely, such a moment is OlderThanTheyThink, Disney is the most iconic example).

* Of course, ''TheSimpsons'' had to do it at least once. In TheMovie, the woodland critters help Marge and Homer undress before [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean they retire to the bedroom]]. The creatures stick around a little too long and are quite horrified with what happens next.

** Done again in the third movie, when (Shrek's version of) Snow White, who illustrates this page, sends the mob of animals she gathers charging at some guards, to Music/LedZeppelin's "Immigrant Song," no less.

** Can't forget [[TheEmperorsNewGroove Kronk and his squirrel.]]

** Arguably also parodied in ''Tangled''. Rapunzel is able to charm Maximus, the fierce horse belonging to the captain of the guard. Flynn, playing the straight man, can't believe that a guard's horse is thumping its leg like a dog.

* Disney even parodies themselves, in ''{{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.

*** That one's more of a [[http://nancyimperiale.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/prayer-of-st-francis/ St Francis]] reference, actually.

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* Dahlia Hawthorne from ''[[AceAttorney Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations]]'' is shown with butterflies around her at various points. Upon TheReveal, they [[spoiler:''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]].
* Olivia, the ultra-girly super-princess from ''BattleFantasia'', is accompanied into battle by doves. The character is a complete parody of PrincessClassic tropes, so this naturally adds to it.

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* Mentioned in ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'' when a skeletal, hooded, scythe wielding Death of Rats steps onto Susan's palm and it's compared to the scene where the princess sings to the woodland creatures, but "more of a PG rating".
** Agnes references it in ''Discworld/CarpeJugulum'', noting that once this has happened "there's nothing for it but a flamethrower."

[[AC:{{Anime}}]]
* The KingdomHearts manga doesn't feature animals, but Marluxia is always followed around by floating petals.

* A Jeep ad referenced and parodied this when various woodland creatures climb into an SUV and [[CrowdSong sing "Rock Me Gently" with the driver.]]

** Not once, but twice. In the episode "Homer the Heretic", after Homer finds religion (albeit a religion he made up), 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?"

* Mentioned in ''Discworld/Hogfather'' when a skeletal, hooded, scythe wielding Death of Rats steps onto Susan's finger and it's compared to the scene where the princess sings to the woodland creatures, but "more of a PG rating".
** Agnes references it in ''{{Discworld/CarpeJugulum}}'', noting that once you've done this "there's nothing for it but a flamethrower."

** Agnes references it in ''{{Discworld/Maskerade}}'', noting that once you've done this "there's nothing for it but a flamethrower."
