** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', 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.

* There is an obscure [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/227399 fanfic]] on Archive of our Own where ComicBook/DoctorStrange, fed up with Loki, gives him the "Disney Princess Curse". Cue animals following Loki around (and, not being a virgin, he really wants to know why there are unicorns there). Loki seems to take it in stride, and puts milk out for the cats that keep popping up in his lair. It's the people [[TheMusicMeister randomly bursting into song]] he can't stand, anyways.

** And again in another episode where the Buttercup and Squirrel Scouts are racing to get up a mountain. The woodland animal help the girls along singing a cutesy tune in the process not to mention doing their hair and bringing gift baskets. However their helping and singing quickly gets out of hand and drives the girls nuts. When they finally snap, the animals turn on them.

** ''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 lovable lass but rather a proud and pampered... [[LastSecondWordSwap poodle]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Pahkitew Island'': Being a Disney Princess parody, Ella's singing attracts all sorts of woodland creatures, even pacifying the aggressive ones. This serves as an annoyance to Chris, who would rather see her get mauled. It's interesting to note that long after Ella gets eliminated, the island's wildlife is revealed to be robotic.

* 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.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' two-parter "Black Vortex", Gamora gets stuck in a fairy-tale world with a band of cheerful cartoon forest animals.

* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', Beezy starts reading Jimmy a [[TastesLikeDiabetes sickingly sweet pop-up book]]. By the time he finishes, several animals have gathered around, even though they're indoors.

* ''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 [[IncrediblyLamePun 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.

** In a 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.

-->'''Meg:''' I thought I smelled a rat.

** 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 sends them to attack the guards.

** 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.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', the woodland critters (including an entire flock of bluebirds and a very [[WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}} Bambi-like]] deer) 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.[[/folder]]

* 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 the princess had made impossible promises in the song, and seeing an actual unicorn would have put her under an obligation to keep them.

-->'''Reed''': My God.\\
'''Austin''': We're outnumbered a hundred to one.\\
'''Adam''': By animals! There's Bambi and Thumper and Flower, and they're in 3-D!

-->I have little birds\\

Your guess is as good as mine.

The parodic scene will generally start the same way as described above and then [[DarkParody take a sharp turn into audacity or traged]]y (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 ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''. (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.

* [[http://sarahburrini.com/en/2012/09/23/epiphany/ This strip]] of ''Live Ain't No Pony Farm'' features Sarah having an epiphany amongst a rather retarded looking bunch of woodland creatures. And then she intends to pet a fox with rabies...

* 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]].

** 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".
** Mentioned again in ''Discworld/CarpeJugulum'' when Agnes sings in tune with herself while getting ready for the christening of Queen Magrat's baby. The narration contrasts this with singing in tune with [[Film/MaryPoppins her reflection]], noting that such behavior leads to singing along with bluebirds, and once that's happened "there's nothing for it but a flamethrower."

** ''Disney/{{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.]]

** ''Disney/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 lovable lass but rather a proud and pampered... [[LastSecondWordSwap dog]].
** ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'': A squirrel tries to befriend Kuzco, but the latter, {{Jerkass}} that he is, tells the former to get lost. The squirrel gets its revenge later. By the end of the movie, the squirrel's joined up with [[TheDitz Kronk]] instead.
** ''Disney/{{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.

* In ''WebAnimation/EverAfterHigh'', as Apple White pledges to follow her fairytale destiny, she holds her arms out and bluebirds swoop down to perch on them.

* Disney even parodies themselves:

* A classic example is in ''Film/NineToFive'', when Lily Tomlin's character is [[FantasySequence fantasizing about]] [[BadBoss 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!
