* Nutty from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' has three of these with [[CompanionCube a lollypop, a gumball machine, and a box of chocolate]] in the episode ''A Sucker for Love'', increasing in length each time. The third one even has him imagining his "wife" [[CheatingWithTheMilkman Being Eaten by the Milkman]], leading to Nutty taking [[MurderTheHypotenuse drastic]] off-screen measures. He is then thrown in jail, leading to him regretting his actions, making up with his wife again, growing old with her, and sadly eating her insides when she dies. All in one montage.

** ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' against the song of "Something There", which tends to confuse fans as to just how long Belle lives in the castle. Interestingly, the CutSong "Human Again" originally slated for this part of the film was much more specific about the passing of winter, but was dropped in part because the filmmakers were worried the audience would start wondering what Maurice and Gaston were doing all this time. They never quite solved this problem, even when the song was reinstated in the stage musical and a reedit of the film.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' has a montage of Moses building a new life among Tzipporah's people after fleeing Egypt set to the song "Through Heaven's Eyes", which also includes him falling in love with Tzipporah and marrying her right at the end of the song. It's a particularly beautiful sequence considering their relationship, while sweet, is not really central to the story of the film.
