** ''Disney/OliverAndCompany''. While [[RichBitch Georgette]] sings, she is dressed by birds ''[[InterspeciesRomance who clearly have the hots for her]]''! And Georgette herself is no sweet lovable lass but rather a vain... dog.

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

* In Peter S. Beagle's novel ''Literature/TheLastUnicorn'', a maiden sings near the woods to attract a unicorn, but the titular unicorn stays away. The maiden then tells her fiance that clearly her singing would attract any unicorn if they still existed, so this must prove they don't exist and she is free to marry him. The Unicorn explains to her companions that she didn't appear because she knew it would only terrify the poor woman instead, so the kindest thing was to stay away and ignore the effort to call her.

The parodic scene will generally start the same way as described above and then take a sharp turn into audacity or tragedy (e.g. the heroine lures the critters in to cook and eat them). Other times the usual formula plays out straight and the joke is that the writers have copied a scene without even ''pretending'' they didn't take it straight from ''Disney/SnowWhite''. (Even though gentle or pure characters attracting animals is OlderThanTheyThink, Disney films are the most iconic examples for most viewers). In shows with particularly high trope content, the woodland critters [[AvertedTrope may not appear at all]], leaving the heroine puzzled or annoyed by their absence.

* Of course, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had to do it at least once. In TheMovie, the woodland critters help Marge and Homer undress before they retire to the bedroom. The creatures stick around a little too long and are quite horrified with what happens next.
** Not once, but twice. 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?"
** But wait, there's more! In a recent three-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.

* 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.
** [[LeaveNoWitnesses Then she kills the last of the critters so he won't tell the others]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', Fiona ends up singing with a bird... then she causes it to explode with a high note, so she cooks its eggs for breakfast.

* In Peter S. Beagle's [[Literature/TheLastUnicorn novel ''The Last Unicorn'']], a maiden sings near the woods to attract a unicorn, but the titular unicorn stays away. The maiden then tells her fiance that clearly her singing would attract any unicorn if they still existed, so this must prove they don't exist and she is free to marry him. The Unicorn then tells her companions that she didn't appear because she knew it would only terrify the poor woman instead, so the kindest thing was to stay away and ignore the effort to call her.

* Mentioned in ''Discworld/SoulMusic'' 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".

* ''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]]

** What really makes it disturbing is that the viewer knows all along that she was going to do this. You can't help but feel a glimmer of hope in this song... and then she viciously murders the innocent bird. Which Roger proceeds to devour.
*** Francine is the adopted daughter of Chinese chefs, so she's been around a lot of dead birds.

* A classic example is in ''Film/NineToFive'', when Lily Tomlin's character is fantasizing about poisoning her boss, with a group of Disney-esque animals watching and encouraging as she prepares to do so. She's even wearing a Snow White costume!

** ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': Kronk and his squirrel.

* ''WebVideo/FunnyOrDie'' presents: "[[http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5e27224abb/disneys-princess-kesha Disney's Princess]] Music/{{Kesha}}". Starring Ke$ha as herself, even.

* ''The Musical of Musicals: The Musical!'', though not at all parodying Disney or cartoons, has Jeune suffering from a mysterious condition similar to that of Johanna in ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' or Cinderella in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'':

Your guess is as good as mine

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', we finally visit the dreaded [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors St. Olga's Reform School For Wayward Princesses]] and find it's basically designed to brainwash its inmates/students into becoming cliched PrincessClassic types. This includes lessons in singing along with the creatures of the forest; one student, Princess Monster, is admonished by her instructor for [[BlackComedyBurst eating a bluebird whole]].
