* ''WesternAnimation/TexAveryMGMCartoons'': The first Screwy Squirrel cartoon ''WesternAnimation/ScrewballSquirrel'' has Screwy encountering a very Disneyesque little squirrel, who announces the cartoon will be about him "and all his cute furry friends" (a plot sounding suspiciously like WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}), whereupon Screwy [[TakeThat beats him up]].

* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' has [[DownplayedTrope a very localized instance of this]] regarding the design of Elizabeth. While she exists in [[CrapsaccharineWorld the cynical world of Columbia]] and is depicted within the game's realistic art style, the game's developers explicitly took much inspiration from Disney princesses while designing her, sporting [[InnocentBlueEyes big, expressive blue eyes]], along with wardrobe and a modest, yet adventurous personality similar to that of Belle from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. The same artists have even mentioned needing to tone down some of Elizabeth's animations as they feared they were starting to unintentionally rip off Rapunzel of ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' (and given that Elizabeth is also a MacGuffinSuperPerson whose life was defined by [[GirlInTheTower entrapment in a tower]] by an abusive foster parent/kidnapper, that wouldn't be the only similarity).

* One episode of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Spawn}}'' animated series opened like this.

* "WesternAnimation/ScrewySquirrel" cartoon has Screwy encountering a very Disneyesque little squirrel, who announces the cartoon will be about him "and all his cute furry friends" (a plot sounding suspiciously like WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}), whereupon Screwy beats him up.

** WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie had a scene where Homer and Marge get ready for for bed while in Alaska and some Disney esque animals help them, complete with a buck and a fawn that resemble WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}} and his father, the sequence was animated by former Disney animator John Pomeroy.

* In the film ''Film/NineToFive'', Violet has an ImagineSpot while thinking of a way to do in Mr. Hart.
* Another imagine spot in ''Film/{{Fletch Lives}}''.

* A ValentinesDayEpisode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' featured a ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' parody named "Shady and the Vamp". Although the characters were still drawn in the standard Simpsons style, the backgrounds were painted in the Disney style and the characters' lines were done in color. Disney animator Creator/EricGoldberg directed the CouchGag for the episode "Fland Canyon", where the Simpsons appear as various Disney characters. Again, drawn in the Simpsons style, but with much smoother animation. It also depicts the wide variety of art styles within the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, with Maggie done in the InkblotCartoonStyle of the early '30s and Homer as [[WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}} Baloo]] in the sketchy Xerox style of the 1960s and '70s.

* As in the picture, ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did this as one of several {{Alternate Universe}}s Brian and Stewie visit in one episode, which included making Lois look like a Franchise/DisneyPrincess.

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry and Film/TheWizardOfOz'' (2011) does this with the settings and characters derived from the latter film, but lets the T&J characters have their typical look.

** Likewise, its predecessor ''VideoGame/ImpressiveTitle'' has its player characters modeled after the lions from Disney/TheLionKing. In fact, it's not hard to recreate Simba, Nala, or Zira in the CharacterCustomization menu, especially since some of the fur markings are directly pulled from the franchise, such as the Hyena's triangular spots and [[Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride Zira]]'s head stripe. And that's not mentioning the many, ''many'' hairstyles based off of Simba's and Kovu's manes.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka8p7AfSdWM Prince Harry as a Disney Prince]] casts the UK Royal Family's Prince Harry as a Disney Prince, with predictable results: he's a stereotypical bro or chav in all the roles. Most humorously, he gets along with [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] just swimmingly.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhyLXlEti6s Aladdin's Mistake]]". At the end of ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', Aladdin wishes for Genie to [[HumanityEnsues become]] ''[[HumanityEnsues human]]'' (not ''free''), and he also does this just as Genie comes out of the lamp. As a result, Genie becomes a helpless mutant with a death wish.

* ''Blog/UnshavedMouse'' discusses this when reviewing ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'', noting that Disney had imposed their house style on lots of artists over the years, and the film itself was Walt Disney's attempts at breaking away from that style.

* ''WesternAnimation/PrincessSissi'', a German cartoon very loosely based on Elisabeth of Bavaria, is drawn in this style to the point the titular character herself resembles [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Aurora]].

* "WesternAnimation/ScrewySquirrel" cartoon has Screwy encountering a very Disneyesque little squirrel, who announces the cartoon will be about him "and all his cute furry friends" (a plot sounding suspiciously like Disney/{{Bambi}}), whereupon Screwy beats him up.

* Applying this trope to ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' sounds like a ridiculous idea, but the ''[[WebVideo/JoJosBizarreAdventureOneCartoonistsDream One Cartoonist's Dream]]'' fan musical project [[NarmCharm makes it work]], for both the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D-TWiaDePg heroes]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDQLE_1O63Q villains]]. The art even edits Disney characters into [=JoJo=] characters, giving the viewer an idea of how the series might look in the Disney style.

* One WesternAnimation/ScrewySquirrel'' cartoon has Screwy encountering a very Disneyesque little squirrel, who announces the cartoon will be about him "and all his cute furry friends" (a plot sounding suspiciously like Disney/{{Bambi}}), whereupon Screwy beats him up.

* For a brief period in the late 1940's at ''Creator/WalterLantz'' studio the shorts had a very Disneyesque style, this is because ''Creator/FredMoore'' a Disney animator worked there during the period he had been temporarily fired, Moore was largely credited for creating the Disney style, in his scenes ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'' looked like a mix between Donald Duck and the Araucan Bird, ''WesternAnimation/AndyPanda'' looked like Mickey Mouse in a panda costume, and in the short "Pixie Picnic" several of the titular pixies looked a lot like the Seven Dwarfs.

* One of the complaints, Music/PaulMcCartney, has about the Beatles animated movie ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' was it's heavy the use of Psychedelic, PopArt and LimitedAnimation, since he's more a fan of Disney and the Disneyesque style.

Any non-Disney work adopting an art style that is typical of the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, for the purpose of an {{Homage}}, AffectionateParody, or even a TakeThat, to the Disney style.
