History MindScrew / AnimatedFilms

* At one point in Creator/AdamSandler's animated Christmas movie, ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'', various company logos (including the Panda Express panda, the Foot Locker reffree, a pill bottle with the GNC wordmark on it, two K-B Toys soldiers, and a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf coffee cup) strap the AntiHero, Davey, to an armchair and have an intervention with him on how he needs to let go of his emotions and cry over the loss of his parents 20 years ago... through song. ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer We are not kidding.]]''

* ''Animation/TheMindsEye'' series of videos. In the big picture, the lack of coherence between scenes in most of the sequences is caused by the editors receiving a vast number of submission from hundreds of different animators and trying to splice them together in as thematic a sequence as possible. Then there are the smaller animations themselves, which run the gamut of "weird" by showcasing outright bizarre creatures, physically impossible scenarios, and people whose heads can be literally ''anything''!

* ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie''. It has reptilian creatures, a magic bag, a half-robot evil overlord, a sentient tear, a dimensional transporter, mice-lizard hybrids, WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine-like sea creatures, a CircusOfFear, a forest made of giant hair follicles with head-hunting creatures that are always losing their own heads, evil cubes and cylinders, and a book of ultimate power that defeats the bad guy by being thrown at him. And there's also a German version. This is largely due to a conflict between the two major producers of the movie; one wanted old-school Felix and the other one wanted wild and crazy Ren and Stimpy-type animation.

* My God, ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie''. Just... just watch it. Reptilian creatures, a magic bag, a half-robot evil overlord, a sentient tear, a dimensional transporter, mice-lizard hybrids, WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine-like sea creatures, a CircusOfFear, a forest made of giant hair follicles with head-hunting creatures that are always losing their own heads, evil cubes and cylinders, and a book of ultimate power that defeats the bad guy by being thrown at him. And to top it all off, there's also a German version. This is largely due to a conflict between the two major producers of the movie. One wanted old-school Felix and the other one wanted wild and crazy Ren and Stimpy-type animation.

* Nigel, the DragonInChief in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'', gets the VillainSong, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFj4QTjFV_w Pretty Bird]]", where he explains his backstory as a show bird and how he's now a murderous CardCarryingVillain, and trust us, it's very trippy. And look, they also made it a crossover with the ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbRgr4dt6I to coincide with the release]] of ''Angry Birds Rio''! With a few words changed of course, and it's also trippy too.
* Even though Creator/RalphBakshi's animated films are more known for their adult material, some of his films, especially ''WesternAnimation/HeavyTraffic'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Coonskin}}'', have trippy sequences that could be considered mind screw.

* Large parts of ''WesternAnimation/TheOldLadyAndThePigeons'', the most surreal moment probably being the ending when the gendarme [[spoiler: jumps out of the window and "flies" for just a few seconds.]]

* ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'', a collection of short anime films based off ''Film/TheMatrix'' trilogy, easily qualify as Mind Screw material.
* The Oscar-nominated French/Canadian/Belgian animated movie ''WesternAnimation/TheTripletsOfBelleville''.

* "Pink Elephants on Parade" from ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}'', just... Just look at that scene! It's the scene when Dumbo and Timothy Mouse drink water spiked with discarded champagne and hallucinate all these [[DisneyAcidSequence freaky-looking elephants!]]
* Similar to the above, "Heffalumps and Woozles" from ''[[Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'', only it was a NightmareSequence.
* Also, "Aquarela do Brasil" in ''Disney/SaludosAmigos'', being constantly manipulated by a paintbrush. Like it's all surreal.

* Rasputin's VillainSong ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocm8QdNR_d8 In The Dark of The Night]]'' from ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', I mean look at this scene! You got bugs everywhere, the whole time!
