* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame}}''; Quasimodo frequently confides in three sentient gargoyles, and at first it’s ambiguous as to whether they’re real or only in Quasi’s mind. However, more and more evidence that they may, in fact, be truly ''alive'' begins to pile on as the movie progresses.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** In the episode "You’re Getting Old", Stan sees everything and everyone around him (his friends, flowers, the sun, you name it) as ''literal'' piles of feces and hears everything (particularly music and other people’s words) as the sound of ''literal'' flatulence; since he describes his experiences in an extremely vague manner ("It looks/sounds like shit"), they are ultimately dismissed as him being a "cynical asshole" and needing to "grow up" and accept change in his life. It is unknown whether this is truly the case and these hallucinations are mood-congruent and a direct reflection of Stan’s mindset or if they are mood-incongruent, have nothing to do with anything, and the whole "cynicism" aspect is all just one big misunderstanding, but ''everyone''—the characters in the show itself, those who watch and talk about the show (including editors on this very website), and eventually Stan himself—ends up buying into that explanation.
**In "Simpsons Did It", after one evil plot too many ends up on the cutting room floor due to being an idea that ''The Simpsons'' came up with first, Butters/Professor Chaos starts seeing everyone and everything around him as being drawn in ''Simpsons''—style animation.
