7The musical number in an animated musical in which the animation stops pretending to depict things that are actually happening in the world of the film and becomes a more abstract illustration of the music. This is usually a whacked-out moment of lighting and choreography, sometimes caused by hallucinations. If it is caused by a dream, see DreamBallet. If it is caused by substance use, see MushroomSamba. The Disney Acid Sequence is not as common as it first seems -- moments only fit this trope if they are not explainable in-universe. It shares some characteristics with the BigLippedAlligatorMoment, in that it frequently has nothing to do to with the plot and the characters never mention it again, but a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, no matter how bizarre and random, is still assumed to have actually taken place in the film's physical reality.

9The Disney Acid Sequence can be used to good comedic effect in films which break the FourthWall. In general though, if the switch is ''too'' pronounced, be prepared for some genuine NightmareFuel.
10
11Named for the most prolific offender and trendsetter, although the phenomenon is not limited to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. It's not even necessarily limited to animated musicals; live-action musicals can also contain one if a musical number goes more surreal than just a random song and dance routine. Some examples here are likely to be inspired by {{Busby Berkeley Number}}s. All examples here are prone to contain DerangedAnimation.

20* Every installment of the ''Advertising/MetroManners'' {{P|ublicServiceAnnouncement}}SAs, following Super Kind's TransformationSequence, cuts to a musical sequence that takes place on highly stylized sets rather than on a bus/train like the rest of the episode. These feature surreal touches such as supersized fruits floating in the background and a mini train coming out of Super Kind's mouth. This is particularly evident in the "Seat Hogging" PSA, where all the sets are filled with brightly-colored geometric shapes. At the end of the song, it cuts back to the bus, and it's unclear whether the dance number really happened or not.

24[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
25%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The Black Four's VillainSong from ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' had shades of this.
26%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Both of the first two ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' movies contain Disney Acid Sequences featuring Gohan. ''[[Anime/DragonBallZDeadZone Dead Zone]]'' has "Tenkaichi Gohan" (The World's Greatest Gohan) after Gohan eats [[GRatedDrug an alcoholic apple]], and ''[[Anime/DragonBallZTheWorldsStrongest The World's Strongest]]'' has "Piccolo-san Daisuki" (I love Mr. Piccolo) when he falls asleep while studying. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Neither really have anything to do with the movie's overall plot.]]
27* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQx_KMoCgJU The torture dance sequence.]] Mista, Fugo, and Narancia, having captured the [[LosingYourHead still-living severed head]] of the rival gang member Zucchero, are trying to interrogate him, and when he refuses to say anything [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption (because he's not capable of saying anything)]], they hang him from a fish hook ''by his eyelid'' and then [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment suddenly start playing music and dancing]] for absolutely no good reason while the helpless Zucchero is ForcedToWatch. It's implied the psychedelic visuals in the anime are actually Zucchero starting to hallucinate from the prolonged torture.
28* Every song in ''Anime/OnePieceFilmRed'', as a result of Uta's Sing-Sing Fruit powers. Every song she sings creates a crazy imagery. [[spoiler: The Sing-Sing Fruit draws people who hear her singing into a illusionary world, where she can control everything. The problem is that she wants to keep everyone trapped in her dream world forever...]]

32!![[AC:Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon]]
33* The hallucinogenic scene in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' seems mostly fueled by fear (as she's running through the scary, dark woods), but it's certainly trippy too. Being the first animated full-length movie, it sets up a great precedent for Disney to contain a whole realm of further trippy scenes, even if all we're seeing is the main character's perspective when something gets overwhelming -- positive or negative. Somewhere in the film's early stages, Snow White was actually supposed to have a dream sequence of her future with Prince Charming. Judging by the remaining concept art, they were going to be floating in midair against a starry technicolor rainbow sky. It got scrapped, but was eventually used to end ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''.
34* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000'' are not actually examples, as each musical number is its own [[SurrealMusicVideo separate and self-contained animated sequence]] and not an insert in a larger plot. Nevertheless, they deserve mention for containing many of the usual elements, since each segment is to a greater or lesser extent an abstract illustration of the music being played. Some segments are more abstract than others. The opening number of ''Fantasia'', "Music/ToccataAndFugueInDMinor", is easily the strongest example. Compare the very straightforward animation for the first ''Fantasia 2000'' number, Beethoven's "5th Symphony".
35* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' has the most jarring and probably most infamous example, with ''Pink Elephants on Parade''. Dumbo and Timothy Mouse drink water spiked with discarded champagne and hallucinate all these freaky-looking elephants. Ironically, "seeing PinkElephants" is the slang term for what happens when an alcoholic ''abstains'' from drinking for a long time.
36-->''I can stand the sight of worms\
37And look at microscopic germs\
38But technicolor pachyderms\
39Is really too much for me! '''[EvilLaugh]'''\
40I am not the type to faint\
41when things are odd or things are quaint\
42but seeing things you know there ain't\
43can certainly give you an awful fright!\
44What a sight!''
45* "Aquarela do Brasil" in ''WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos'', being constantly manipulated by a paintbrush.
46* The second and third acts of ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' involve WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck going through one strange [[RogerRabbitEffect animated/live-action]] musical number after another before climaxing in a mock bullfight, with a costumed Donald as the bull and Panchito as the bullfighter. One DVD edition even calls the closing sequence "Donald's Surreal Reverie".
47* "After You've Gone" from ''WesternAnimation/MakeMineMusic'', featuring lots of crazy dancing musical instruments.
48* The "Too Good to Be True" sequence from the "Bongo" segment of ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree'' has Bongo and Lulubelle falling in love accompanied by two cupid teddy bears and lots of heart imagery.
49* Two examples from ''WesternAnimation/MelodyTime'':
50** Set to a frenetic, jazzy version of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Bumble Boogie" is a nightmarish journey through the music world from the POV of a poor bumblebee.
51** "Blame It on the Samba". Man, ''trippy'' as hell.
52%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Most of ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
53%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The opening credits of ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' somewhat counts as well.
54* The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]'' featurette has the "Heffalumps and Woozles" sequence where Pooh has a nightmare about them spurred by Tigger who told him that they steal honey. One part also [[RecycledAnimation reuses some animation]] from "Pink Elephants" from ''Dumbo''.
55* ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' features "Be Our Guest". It is {{downplayed|Trope}} but one can't deny the sheer craziness of what is quite possibly the most spectacular dinner show ever animated. [[WordOfGod Commentary tracks provided on the DVD]] even ''acknowledge'' that it throws logic out of the window, but the end result was WorthIt.
56* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has "Friend Like Me" sung by Genie as he elaborates on his BenevolentGenie nature. This is a rare in-universe justification as Genie's [[RealityWarper powers]] allow him to do virtually anything.
57* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' has the IWantSong, "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", which shifts from the rather subdued savanna landscapes from the rest of the movie to a bright, colorful, angular style inspired by traditional African artwork. Even the background animal designs become more stylized, trading in their realistic color schemes for AmazingTechnicolorWildlife.
58* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'': "Colors of the Wind". It's difficult to say whether the sequence is actually happening (if so, it happens over the course of several days, considering the changes in daylight), or if it's simply an interpretation of the spirit of nature surrounding them.
59* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': "A Guy Like You". The commentary track references this trope, going so far as to suggest that ''everything'' involving the three gargoyles might be Quasimodo's imagination. [[FridgeHorror (Well, when you spend your whole life alone in a bell tower...)]] On an even darker note, "Hellfire" is a decidedly non-comedic VillainSong version of this.
60%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'': Happens in the song "A Girl Worth Fighting For".
61* ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'': The cattle-rustling sequence. Dancing cows, shifting colors, and Randy Quaid yodeling.
62* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' has the song "Almost There", which is a very sudden ArtShift into the style of Tiana's restaurant folder. There's also Dr. Facilier's VillainSong "Friends on the Other Side", which has a ''very'' trippy sequence during the "transformation central" portion.
63* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': "Mother Knows Best" is downplayed, but too much is happening that isn't physically possible for it to be taken as ''literally'' happening like that. Like the dozens of candles that suddenly appear on the stairs (there wasn't enough time for Gothel to have put them there; also her cape goes through the candles but doesn't catch fire); the spotlight (in a time before electricity...) controlled by Gothel and how she makes projections (ruffians, poison ivy) in it; she cannot have had enough time to have painted the red "man with pointy teeth" on the floor. Note that Gothel is usually regarded NOT to be a witch (which would be the only reasonable explanation for everything to be happening exactly as shown).
64* ''WesternAnimation/WinnieThePooh2011'' has two: "[[TheVillainSucksSong The Backson Song]]", done as a living chalk drawing, and "Everything is Honey", where Pooh is in a world made of honey, including honey clones of himself as backup dancers on the rim of a giant honey pot.
65* ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
66** [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 In the first movie]], Olaf's song "In Summer" is a low-key example, but it's done in a distinctly different style than the rest of the film, involves a lot of anachronisms (e.g., hats from 20th century America), and when Anna and Kristoff appear in it, they both look a little freaked out.
67** In [[WesternAnimation/FrozenII the sequel]], Kristoff's song "Lost in the Woods" is presented as a cheesy 80s music video, with Sven speaking with the voice Kristoff often gives him, and reindeer providing background vocals.
68* ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' uses MediumBlending to have Moana and Maui interact with Maui's 2D animated tattoos in "You're Welcome". Though for once, it actually plays a part in the plot: Moana is so enthralled by the surreal visuals Maui's song summons, she doesn't even notice when the song shifts from talking about [[IAmGreatSong how awesome Maui is]] to how he's totally going to steal her boat in a few seconds while she's distracted. A keen eye can also interpret what's actually happened physically -- just before the Acid Sequence kicks in, Maui throws a blanket over the camera, and the patterning on the blanket forms the background of the surreal visuals. [[FridgeBrilliance Maui threw a blanket over Moana and blindfolded her so he could get her distracted and steal her boat.]]
69* ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Luisa's song "Surface Pressure", which is full of fantastical, colorful visuals of her doing things like fighting Cerberus or literally balancing the whole world on her shoulders like Atlas. Since the song is about Luisa feeling a lot of stress from trying to be useful to everyone, the visuals are meant to be symbolic of her insecurities.
70
71!![[AC:Other Disney Movies]]
72* ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'':
73** The original has "On the Open Road" which includes a bunch of girls popping out of a piano, while it's played in the back of a pickup truck, and a corpse dancing on a hearse. Being a Goofy movie, of course, it's not ''impossible'' that this is actually happening, but it's still pretty trippy.
74** ''WesternAnimation/AnExtremelyGoofyMovie'' has the slightly disturbing "C'mon Get Happy" sequence, which seemingly suggests an 'experimental phase' when Goofy first went to college in the '70s.
75* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'': The song "Cutting Edge", which involves, among other things, a singing table lamp somersaulting through outer space. Of course, this is a movie where ''every'' character is an inanimate object. (We're not sure whether that makes it better or worse.)
76%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Toaster's clown dream is a much creepier example.
77%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'' has the love song "Upendi".
78* ''WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie'': The song "Round My Family Tree", in which Tigger sings about what his family might be like, is shown as a fast-paced sequence with a myriad of [[ArtShift art shifts]] and pop-culture references, unusual for a ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' film.
79* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'' has Timon's song, "That's All I Need", lampshading it. The sequence of the 'props' sliding out back to the Savannah and the hyenas' sarcastic applause makes it evident that far from a bunch of animals suddenly displaying amazing choreography skills, this is genuine daydreaming/acid consumption territory, but since Timon is awake, it is not actually a dream.
80* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': Oogie Boogie's Song is a downplayed, and maybe justified, example. In the song, almost everything in Oogie's casino-themed lair, including Oogie himself, glows in bright neon colors as if under a blacklight, only to return to normal tones when the song ends. Considering all the gadgets that Oogie has, it's not unreasonable to assume that he might actually have a blacklight in his lair, but this is never made clear. Played straight with the dancing ghost figures that appear at the very end of the song. Those are harder to explain.
81
82!!![[AC:Creator/{{Pixar}}]]
83* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'', Arlo and Spot go through a trippy sequence after they try some suspicious-looking fruit.
84* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen was to have a]] DreamSequence set to jazz music where Helen Parr dreamt about her husband cheating on her with hundreds of silhouetted, beautiful women in order to highlight her suspicions about her husband's behavior, but it was cut due to length and the fact that they would never get away with so blatantly stating what Helen's fears were in a Disney film.
85* The opening scenes in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' take place inside a video game and Andy's imagination, respectively, before pulling a BaitAndSwitch as the scene shifts back to Andy's room. In Toy Story 3, Andy is imagining the action while playing on the floor of his room, which is revealed to be part of a series of Home Movies by Andy's mom, which in turn is revealed to be Woody reliving those memories in a dream.
86
87!![[AC:Other Animated Movies]]
88* Music/FrankZappa 's live-action film ''Film/TwoHundredMotels'' has a very surreal and trippy animated sequence made by Creator/CalSchenkel, set to Zappa's equally bizarre music.
89* ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'': This Creator/DonBluth film contains one where Charlie encounters an over-the-top giant big-lipped alligator who sings a bizarre song to him while doing an [[BusbyBerkeleyNumber Esther Williams homage]]. It's all [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment really weird and has just about nothing to do with the story]], aside from a very brief callback later on.
90* The MGM sequel ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2'' features a darker example, as Carface's new ally turns out to be the Devil. During the big VillainSong "It Feels So Good to Be Bad", Red (the Devil character) makes the scenery change several times through each verse. One moment, it's a bizarre hellish barber shop, then a nightmarish roller coaster, and finally something resembling FireAndBrimstoneHell.
91* The ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Christmas Carol]] has Charlie, playing the role of Christmas Yet to Come, trying to scare Carface straight with visions of Hell (and gospel music) in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWbGm-P5PUY "Clean Up Your Act".]]
92* ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'':
93** This other Creator/DonBluth film has the half-remembered, half-imagined dancing sequence in the royal palace, complete with imaginary PimpedOutDress. Plus the VillainSong with the singing and dancing bugs.
94** Also on the ship later, Anastasia is seeing butterflies and her family in a pleasant meadow while, in actuality, she is on a ship in a storm. Quickly changes to horror when [[spoiler: her family and the pleasant meadow turn into demons and Hell, respectively]]. This is just one of many attempts that the BigBad tries to employ to kill her, but still.
95* ''WesternAnimation/AnimalCrackers2017'': Horatio's VillainSong, "Could've Been Mine," starts out in Horatio's makeup room, but transitions to a variety of surreal, colorful scenes in the number. Throughout the song, you'll see Horatio climbing a spiral staircase of animal crackers, transforming into a giant, shadowy, beastly form, surrounded by neon signs, standing atop a tower of animals, and more, before fading back to the makeup room at the end of the song.
96* Most of the many songs in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animalympics}}'' accompany one of these to some degree.
97** "Go For It" may be real. It's basically the characters hanging out at a disco and dancing.
98** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMG-xelvvZc Underwater Fantasy]]" is this in spades, even though it starts with Dean Wilson's platform diving. Not even Dean could evoke this--also because he clearly dives into the water ''twice''.
99** "Away From It All" is what Kurt Wuffner experiences in Dogra-La and leads directly into his downhill skiing.
100** "Born To Lose" is mostly Bolt Jenkins' GonnaFlyNowMontage and as realistic as this can get within this movie.
101** "Love's Not For Me" is the second major Disney Acid Sequence and outdoes even "Underwater Fantasy" in its surrealism, even though it's the main {{Ballad}} in the soundtrack.
102%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** "With You I Can Run Forever" is René Fromage's second song and comes in third as a Disney Acid Sequence.
103** "We've Made It To The Top" is just a sports montage.
104* The ''Comicbook/{{Asterix}}'' animated films sometimes do these. These animators are crazy!
105** ''Asterix and Cleopatra'': Obelix, hungry and in the desert, dreams [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg6GmU6ufwI&t=13s 'When You're Eating Well You're Well'.]]
106** ''Asterix and the Big Fight'': Cacofonix tries to restore Getafix's memories with a song, and somehow the sequence morphs into a trippy ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGNHjgWsA04 rock and roll music video]]''.
107* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjj_94ECUKU committee song]] from ''Babar: The Movie''.
108* In ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHeadDoAmerica'', Beavis eats a peyote cactus while in the desert and experiences a surreal animated music video for White Zombie's "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls". Animated by band member Music/RobZombie, no less. Creator/MikeJudge didn't want to have this scene in the film in the first place. Creator/{{MTV}} wanted a music video somewhere in the film similar to the TV series, but Judge thought that would stop the plot dead and compromised with the hallucination sequence. It was still awesome though.
109%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The "Yellow Submarine"-esque opening sequence in ''[[Recap/FuturamaM3BendersGame Bender's Game]]''.
110* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRcdLztYdeY "Big and Loud (part 2)"]], the DarkReprise VillainSong from ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance''.
111* Templeton the Rat's song about the fair in ''WesternAnimation/CharlottesWeb'' was rather trippy. More notably, the title song after Charlotte's lullaby to Wilbur is a more trippy moment.
112* ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'': "Let It Out, Davey"/"Intervention Song"-drunken montage with extensive ProductPlacement.
113%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Animation/TheElmChantedForest'' has "Truffle Shuffle"- actually, any of the songs in The Elm-Chanted Forest with the exception of "Let Your Fur Down".
114* ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'':
115%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** A few of the musical numbers, including comic relief character Batty's introduction, and the villain Hexxus's [[VillainSong song]].
116** In ''[=FernGully=] 2'', there is the song "Wanna Go Home" -- a perfect example since lighting springs from nowhere, cages vanish and animals start dancing.
117* Literally true in the stoned space-travel portion of "So Beautiful and So Dangerous", a segment of ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal''.
118* ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB_Ybc4Z-Fs "You 'N Me"]] - Judy Jetson and her new boyfriend are in a holographic area that changes with their thoughts.
119* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie2TheSecondPart'': Both of Queen Watevra's musical numbers qualify as this, in a way that pays homage to this trope.
120* In the 2012 adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lorax|2012}}'', the Once-ler's VillainSong uses images that would seem rather improbable if taken literally, such as trees being felled by noise from a gigantic set of speakers or the Once-ler sprinkling pepper on the Lorax as if to eat him while singing about survival of the fittest, to metaphorically depict the growth of the Once-ler's company and his increasing self-delusion.
121* ''WesternAnimation/LuckyLukeBalladOfTheDaltons'' has such a sequence, a BusbyBerkeleyNumber caused by MushroomSamba.
122%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The "[[Music/KatyPerry Firework]]" sequence in ''WesternAnimation/Madagascar3EuropesMostWanted''.
123* ''WesternAnimation/TheManCalledFlintstone'' had trippy sequences for the songs "A Spy-Type Guy", "Teammates", "Tickle, Toddle", and "Someday, we'll do great things".
124%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* In ''Anime/MindGame'', after [[spoiler: Nishi dies]], the remainder of the film is like this.
125* ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'':
126** ''WesternAnimation/ABoyNamedCharlieBrown'' has several surreal musical sequences. The first is a straightforward "Star-Spangled Banner" stars and stripes montage, the second is a crazy nightmare scene with Snoopy fighting the Red Baron, the third an extended musical number where Linus and Charlie Brown study for a spelling bee with giant letters everywhere, the fourth is a Fantasia-style scene with Schroeder on piano, the fifth is a nightmarish bus ride to the city (with a hallucinating Linus, who has been deprived of his blanket) and the sixth is a fantasy skating scene with Snoopy.
127** Roughly in the middle of ''WesternAnimation/SnoopyComeHome'', there's a trippy montage where multi-colored versions of Snoopy and Woodstock walk through surreal backgrounds to an instrumental version of one of the film's songs.
128%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'': "Now and Forever" is a rare example of a musical animated feature outside of Disney's ''Fantasia'' applying this trope to the '''opening''' number!
129* ''Literature/ThePhantomTollbooth'' contains a scene where Milo tries to conduct the sunrise but winds up making the whole sky go crazy.
130* The 1997 AnimatedAdaptation of Literature/PippiLongstocking features an IWantSong "A Bowler and a New Gold Tooth" and its reprise, both go into a fantasy sequence from the secondary antagonists.
131* The 1971 animated feature ''WesternAnimation/ThePoint'', about the round-headed boy Oblio and his dog Arrow, has several. It helps that, according to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Point! the Other Wiki]] composer Music/HarryNilsson was on acid when the original idea came to him.
132* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'': the instrumental section of "All I Ever Wanted" in which hieroglyphs come to life; and "The Plagues", which is the song which goes with most of the plagues, and so days are compressed into minutes - and that split-screen shot at the end of Pharaoh and Moses is done for artistry.
133* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'': "If I Didn't Have You", a particularly jarring example because it looks like the kind of short and funny cartoon that Creator/WarnerBrothers is rightfully better-known for, randomly placed in the middle of what's supposed to be a dramatic epic. Then again it might be {{justified|Trope}} as the performers of the song are Creator/EricIdle and Creator/DonRickles, two famous comedians as well as actors.
134%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* A couple musical numbers from the [[Creator/RankinBassProductions Rankin-Bass]] TV specials of ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheReturnOfTheKing'' certainly qualify…
135%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'': The cast performing "Green Tamborine" during the credits (this movie was also a huge ShoutOut to TheSixties)
136* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6DOxuucAEk Nigel's]] VillainSong in ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}''.
137** Here's the ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcbRgr4dt6I version.]]
138* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSXijk37oNs It's Tough to Be a God]]" enters acid sequence territory towards the end; it's implied that the characters singing the song have become intoxicated.
139* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'': "My name is Mok! Thanks a lot!" Justified in that the character singing/dreaming it actually '''IS''' on acid (and most likely several other drugs as well, the first thing he does when he wakes up is snort something!)
140* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sahara}}'': The first time Eva is hypnotized by Omar's flute, there is a surreal musical sequence with an ArtShift to 2D animation. The sequence contains images of Eva feeling trapped by Omar and his snakes, and wanting to return to Ajar, but being tempted by George.
141 * The Christmas classic ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown'', which explains Santa's origins, features a spectacular acid sequence when the {{Love Interest|s}}, having just met an extraordinarily generous young man in a red suit, sings about her world turning upside-down. It starts with her contemplating her reflection in a fountain and devolves into psychedelic pop-art weirdness.
142** Although it's sometimes [[CutSong cut from TV showings now]], this Rankin-Bass Christmas classic has one sung by [[HotLibrarian Jessica/Mrs. Claus]] as she lets down her hair to reveal herself as BeautifulAllAlong; it's got lots of floating bubbles of color (this ''was'' TheSixties[[note]]Well, technically it was 1970.[[/note]], after all).
143** Between Jessica's song and Chris's song when he first starts giving out gifts ("If you sit in my lap today/ a kiss a toy is the price you'll pay"), both Santa and Mrs. Claus can both be seen to be fairly unwholesome.
144* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2TimmyToTheRescue'' has its VillainSong "Just Say Yes", which moves (both in terms of animation and lyrics) so fast that it ends up being a huge MindScrew.
145%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAndTheMagicFlute'' has one when Homnibus sends Johan and Peewit on a trip to "The Land of the Smurfs" via Hypnokenesis.
146* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'': "Isn't It Love" features a trippy recreation of the emotions Ruby and Sapphire felt when they fused for the first time. The song lasts just over a minute in real time, but is only a second or two in the context of the movie.
147* The ending song/scene in the 2015 JukeboxMusical ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'' gets a trippy kaleidoscope moment thrown in.
148%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'': "Money Is Such a Beautiful Word", full-stop.
149%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Any of the animated sequences in Music/PinkFloyd's ''Music/TheWall'', where most of the second act takes place inside the protagonist's mind anyway.
150%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'':
151%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The single song manages to be both sad and creepy at the same time. It helps that [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Art Garfunkel]] sings it.
152%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** This may not qualify, as it may actually be happening in-universe. Fiver is psychic and may simply be able to see the Black Rabbit leading him to Hazel.
153%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Another Acid Sequence occurs at the beginning - the story of Frith and how rabbits came to be. Holly's retelling of how the [[spoiler:Sandleford warren came to be destroyed]] may also count.
154%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Every scene shot from the rabbits' perspective is a combination of this trope and ArtShift.
155* In ''WesternAnimation/TheWindInTheWillows1983'', the instrumental interlude of "[[https://youtu.be/Tkv8TGkZgQI?si=dqJEeDLSlW4wOW3_?t=26s Ducks' Ditty]]" has the ducks perform a [[BusbyBerkeleyNumber Busby Berkeley/Esther Williams-style ballet number]] while being illuminated with trippy lens flare effects. [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Neither Rat nor Mole notice or mention it]].
156* Though primarily live-action, ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}'' still manages to include an ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DiZeVptAoM animated]]'' Acid Sequence that's animated by none other than Creator/DonBluth!
157* Most of ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' is pretty trippy to begin with, but it still manages to have some moments that really stand out.
158%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Especially "Only a Northern Song", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "It's All Too Much".
159%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The final scene, "It's All Too Much", is an Acid Sequence ''within'' an Acid Sequence (the rest of the movie)!
160%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Parodied in Music/TheRutles {{Mockumentary}} ''All You Need Is Cash'' with "Cheese And Onions" from the fictional album and animated film ''Yellow Submarine Sandwich''.

162
163[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
164* ''Film/Aladdin2019'' gains a new example over the original in the reprise of Jasmine's new song "Speechless". It's not overly surreal, but shortly into the song Jasmine suddenly evaporates the guards escorting her before she storms back into the palace and turns more guards into dust, all with time slowed down to a crawl. In the end, it's supposed to be symbolic and going on within her head, but it's the only scene in the movie not actually happening for real, and there's no transition into it being an ImagineSpot.
165* ''Film/BabesInToyland'' has the song "I Can't do the Sum", during which Mary Contrary (played by Annette Funicello) sings mostly on a black background, with [[DoubleVision duplicates]] who flip upside down and sideways while changing colors.
166* ''Film/MaryPoppins'' has the street chalk PortalPicture trip.
167* Just about every song in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical 3'', to some extent. They could have planted AnAesop about not doing drugs without too much trouble.
168* ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'' (the film and the musical) has a literal acid sequence in it.
169%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': Percy, Annabeth, and Grover experience one of these set to the Music/LadyGaga song "Poker Face" after ingesting lotus flowers at the Lotus Casino.
170%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Film/MaVieEnRose'' has one; it involves a [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} popular dress-up doll]].
171%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The musical ''Film/SinginInTheRain'' includes a rare example of a live-action Acid Sequence with the "Broadway Melody" segment, which apparently takes place entirely in Don Lockwood's imagination. Afterwards, his producer says "It sounds good, but I'd need to see it on film."
172%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* In a similar vein, most of the big production numbers in the musical version of ''Literature/KissOfTheSpiderWoman'' take place in Louis Molina's head. Indeed, any time the title character appears on stage, she's probably a figment of his imagination.
173%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Every musical number in ''Film/{{Chicago}}'', except for those which are already explicitly set on a stage, happens inside Roxie Hart's head.
174%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Likewise, the musical numbers in ''Film/PenniesFromHeaven'' which are almost all in Creator/SteveMartin's head. Unless it's the original BBC TV series, in which case they're all in Creator/BobHoskins' head.
175* In ''Film/DangerDiva'', Devi's first outing as an opera singer is intermittently viewed through a kaleidoscope, giving the effect of multiple limbs and heads.
176* ''Film/MoulinRouge'' is full of this.
177** Even the numbers explicitly set onstage would be impossible to perform live with such lavish effects.
178** The duet that begins with "Your Song" was actually cut to make it less of an Acid Sequence; besides the singing moon, there were twirling soprano stars. Imagine a scene so Acidic that Baz Luhrmann thought it needed toning down!
179** Possibly justified seeing how the main characters (and a few partygoers) drunk absinthe shorty before the number "Can-can/Lady Marmalade".
180* ''Film/{{Grease}}'', specifically the song "Beauty School Dropout", which is the climax of the film's C-plot. Features ''Frankie Avalon'' and white-clad dancers out of nowhere - interacting with the subject of the song personally - along with an abrupt setting change. Similarly, the "Turn Back the Hands of Time" number in ''Film/Grease2'', which takes place when Stephanie apparently spaces out in the middle of the talent show and imagines singing a duet with the spirit of her MysteriousProtector in what we can only take to be Biker Heaven. Except that when Stephanie returns to reality at the end of the number, the audience is applauding and she's won the talent show, leaving us to wonder if they all somehow experienced the whole sequence with her. And, if not, then who was really singing the male part of the duet while she was tripping out?
181* The VillainRecruitmentSong "That's Motivation" in ''Film/AbsoluteBeginners'' (1986) features Vendice Partners and Colin performing amidst a variety of brightly colored set pieces themed after 1950s consumerism, playing into Vendice's attempts to make Colin part of his all-style, no-substance world.
182%%* The 1969 film, ''Film/TheMagicChristian'', has several of these.
183* The tour in ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' has one of these for the characters: while most of the tour involves going around a wacky candy factory (like one would in a tour), the tunnel sequence is something else ''entirely'', as evidenced by the increasing discomfort of the passengers. Among the larger-than-life images on the tunnel walls are a chicken's head being chopped off, a centipede crawling on a man's face, and a chameleon eating a live bug. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Violet Beauregard who asks if the whole tunnel sequence is "a freak out".
184-->'''Wonka:''' There's no earthly way of knowing... Which direction we are going... There's no knowing where we're rowing... Or which way the river's flowing... Is it raining? Is it snowing?... Is a hurricane a-blowing?... Not a speck of light is showing so the danger ''must'' be growing... Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?... Is the grisly Reaper mowing?... YES! THE DANGER MUST BE GROWING FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING!! AND THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!! ''*deranged scream*''
185* ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'' has Pleasure Town.
186-->'''Ron:''' Look! It's the most glorious rainbow ever!\
187'''Veronica:''' Do me on it!
188* In the Creator/KenRussell film adaptation of the stage musical ''The Boy Friend'', daydreaming by members of the cast and crew often causes the fairly mundane production numbers -- accurately representing what you'd see if you actually went and saw the play in a theater -- to warp into elaborate and surreal fantasies.
189* The Floor Show from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' -- or the whole damn thing, for that matter. Toss in the audience-participation element, and it's a ''live performance'' example.
190* ''Film/ShockTreatment'' features "Looking for Trade", in which Janet has a nightmare of being lost inside Dentonvale. Almost the whole number takes place under extremely garish lighting, the sound is distorted and Brad keeps appearing out of nowhere.
191%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* In ''Film/{{Troll|1986}}'', the VillainSong performed by Torok's minions borders on this.
192%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Literature/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' is loaded with these, considering the main protagonist is high on drugs.
193* ''Film/MagicalMysteryTour''...roughly the entire film! There are rarely any sane moments at all!
194* The Red Shoes Ballet from ''Film/{{The Red Shoes|1948}}'': at first it makes sense as a literal ballet and reflection of the protagonist's inner turmoil, and then she grand jetés into surreal land.
195%%* ''Film/SpeedRacer'' veers off the track into acid territory several times.
196* Several musical numbers from ''Film/The5000FingersOfDrT'' (1953) by Creator/DrSeuss but particularly the [[BusbyBerkeleyNumber Dungeon Orchestra scene]] and [[RealMenWearPink "Dress Me, Dress Me"]]. During the dance number involving the roller skating, Siamese-bearded twins, the hero downs a swig of some "[[LampshadeHanging powerful stuff]]" beforehand.
197* The first half of "I Want You", "I Am the Walrus", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" in ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse2007''.
198** "I Am the Walrus" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" can be somewhat justified given the substances they were undoubtedly on at that point. Creator/EddieIzzard's performance in the latter definitely turns the notch up to 11, though.
199** Likewise, the number "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" is a justified Acid Sequence, as Max is in a VR hospital, and probably high on morphine.
200* The Capulet Party sequence in Baz Luhrmann's ''Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet'' is a literal acid trip. We're left uncertain of whether Mercutio's song and dance number actually happened, or if it was just a byproduct of Romeo being off his face. "Thy drugs are quick" indeed...
201* ''Literature/TheWorstWitch''. Creator/TimCurry. The Halloween Song. So amazingly awesome it deserves a [[https://decider.com/2017/07/21/tim-curry-worst-witch-song/ play-by-play]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUhuPn8_d0Q And a link]].
202%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'': Harold's dream [[ItMakesSenseInContext after being knocked unconscious while riding a cheetah]].
203%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* In ''Film/YouthInRevolt'', after Nick takes 'shrooms. Playing a little loose on the "Disney" part...
204%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Literature/LifeOfPi'' features one when Pi, delirious and losing hope, stares into the ocean, with his visions very much forming one of these.
205* The Spanish film ''Los Chicos con las Chicas'', featuring OneHitWonder Los Bravos, has several of these with the group's less popular songs, particularly "Going Nowhere" (a dream sequence alternating between live-action and animation) and "Sympathy" (featuring multicolored silhouettes of singer Mike Kennedy and his alleged girlfriend). Even the sequence for "Black is Black," the group's one "hit," is quite surreal, but not to the same extent, mainly because of the surreal background it's set on.
206* In ''Music/{{Tommy}}'', there is the aptly-named "Acid Queen" sequence, in which Tommy is loaded into a giant sarcophagus lined with hypodermic needles as part of an insane and desperate effort to cure his ailments. It's loaded with NightmareFuel.
207* ''Film/BetterOffDead'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz6Kcz62onA cuz everybody wants some!]]
208%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' features one after each time the Dude is knocked unconscious (the first time by a TapOnTheHead, the second time by SlippingAMickey).
209%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Pick a ''Film/JamesBond'' title sequence. Any ''Film/JamesBond'' title sequence.
210* Most of the musical numbers in ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' are pretty damn bizarre. "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDkp7GysvbY Magic Dance]]" isn't ''that'' weird in context, but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsXtU0rZkAQ Chilly Down]]" is a straight-up BigLippedAlligatorMoment sung by fuzzy red [[LosingYourHead self-decapitating]]...''things'', "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VppuD1St8Ec As The World Falls Down]]" is a DreamBallet set at a MasqueradeBall with freaky masks, and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ9BHGX58vQ Within You]]" takes place in a literal Creator/MCEscher maze.
211* In ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare'', the stoner Spencer gets abducted by Freddy through the TV, accompanied by psychedelic visuals that leak out of the screen, set to [[Music/IronButterflyBand Iron Butterfly's]] ''In A Gadda Da Vida''.
212--> '''Freddy:''' Hey, Spence! Let's trip out!
213* Crossed over with MakeoverMontage in ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'''s first musical number "Brand New Girl" as Valerie receives an UnnecessaryMakeover from her colleague/friend Candy Pink, most obviously invoking this trope with a quick cut runthrough of other new looks she could have besides the EveryoneLovesBlondes one she gets.
214* ''Film/{{Head}}'' is essentially a feature-length acid trip, but especially with its songs by Music/TheMonkees:
215** "Porpoise Song," at both the beginning with Mickey alone swimming with mermaids and the end with all four members, has a series of two-tone scenes of the group underwater.
216** "Circle Sky" features the group in a mock concert with mirrored images of themselves.
217** "Can You Dig It" features harem girls seducing the group, with Mickey, straight out of ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia'' mockery, smoking a hookah.
218** "Daddy's Song," written by Music/HarryNilsson, features Davy dancing in alternating black and white costumes respectively on cream and black backgrounds.
219** "Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" is depicted as "The Cop's Dream," but is more of a nightmare scene.
220
221[[/folder]]
222
223[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
224* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWjLjPqwtk8 opening sequence]] to the Creator/DisneyChannel show ''Series/AdventuresInWonderland'' (made by Eli Noyes, Jr.) certainly qualifies.
225* In the ''Series/FlightOfTheConchords'' TV series this was done a couple of times with some of the more surreal songs in the duo's repertoire. Most notably Pretty Prince Of Parties, which was a literal acid trip.
226* The middle instrumental section of "Mickey Mouse March" in the original ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' is comprised of floating marching band instruments and dancing musical notes.
227* ''Series/PeeWeesPlayhouse'' qualifies as a Disney Acid ''Series'', especially after the series moved production from New York to Los Angeles
228* ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': In "[[Recap/YellowjacketsS2E7Burial Burial]]" the adult Misty reluctantly gets inside a sensory-deprivation tank as part of a therapeutic treatment0. It takes her about 7 seconds inside it for her mind to go into a full-blown musical number starring [[spoiler:Creator/JohnCameron Mitchell as her parrot]].
229
230[[/folder]]
231
232[[folder:Music]]
233* UrExample in music: the Tone Poem Music/SymphonieFantastique by Music/HectorBerlioz ends with a mad artist's non-fatal opium fantasy about a Witches' Sabbath, illustrated with proto-psychedelic music.
234[[/folder]]
235
236[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
237* ''Franchise/TheMuppets'':
238** The Muppet Babies sequence in ''Film/TheMuppetsTakeManhattan''. A rare example in that the scene in question inspired [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 its own series]], which contained its own examples, which makes it the Russian dolls of animated puppets.
239** ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'' has Miss Piggy fantasize about being the center of an underwater ballet, in which the film's villain sings-except after returning to reality and learning what's BeneathTheMask of the villain, she scornfully tells him, "You know what? You can't even sing! Your voice was dubbed!" Then again, the film had NoFourthWall ''whatsoever'', and she was under considerable emotional duress at the time.
240** "Cabin Fever", a musical number in which the entire cast of ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'' comes down with OceanMadness. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when the only character who mentions it is treated as being crazy.
241* ''Series/SesameStreet'':
242** Many early episodes have a series of sketches on numbers (1 through 10) that involved a baker who holds in his arms that number of desserts but falls down a flight of stairs, ruining the desserts in question. The sketches started with a very flashy animated intro in which the voices of kids are heard counting up from 1 to 10, then back to 1, and finally up to the featured number in the sketch, in choral voiceover, while that number, in animated form, zoomed around the screen.
243** John and Faith Hubley of Storyboard Films [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=John+Hubley+sesame+street did a lot of Sesame Street and Electric Company video trips]], including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLbSongrzEY this beloved classic]].
244** Many of the animated sequences were, in some way, acid-y. The Pinball sequences, for example, had a pinball journey through a very large and technicolour pinball machine, while it counted one through twelve. If the lightshows themselves didn't make them trippy, the automatons certainly did. The funky background music probably helped make it more so.
245** The two segments with Limbo (AKA Nobody), one of which is on the Video Examples page for this trope. It's also a good example of the Scanimate system in action.
246* ''Series/DonkeyHodie'': "Dancing Under The Golden Rainbow" from "The Golden Crunchdoodles" takes place on a yellow background for almost the entire duration of the song, rather than the backgrounds that are usually seen in the show. Not helping matters is that this sequence occurs right after a scene depicting Donkey and Panda with tired eyes.
247[[/folder]]
248
249[[folder:Sports]]
250* Although sports telecasts in the U.S. are often known for featuring bombastic graphics and the like by default, Creator/{{ESPN}} (appropriately, given its majority owner) has become increasingly prone to using [[https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2019/12/23/21034976/monday-night-football-graphics-animations-history-ranking elaborate CGI sequences]] to convey statistics about players and teams during ''Series/MondayNightFootball'', with many of them falling into this territory.
251[[/folder]]
252
253[[folder:Theater]]
254* Jerome Robbins' comic ballet ''The Concert'' is AllJustADream anyway (more precisely, people daydreaming to music), but the end features all of the characters morphing into butterflies and being chased off the stage by the increasingly irritated [[InteractiveNarrator pianist]].
255* "Contact", Angel's DeathSong in ''Theatre/{{RENT}}'', likely a representation of his DyingDream.
256* "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" from ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'', which features appearances by the spirits of UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan, Jeffrey Dahmer, UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Johnnie Cochran]], along with Starbucks cups and bizarrely dancing demons.
257* End section of "Expressing Yourself" from ''Film/BillyElliot'' the Musical, which features giant dancing dresses, of Michael's creation.
258* In the stage musical of ''Theatre/TheLittleMermaid'', particularly the post-Broadway production, the "Under the Sea" number has a more psychedelic setting than in the film.
259* TheMusical ScreenToStageAdaptation of ''Film/MrsDoubtfire'' has "You've Created A Monster", in which Daniel is tormented by a horde of Mrs. Doubtfire clone zombies.
260* ''Theatre/{{Oklahoma}}'' has this both for traditional productions and the DarkerAndEdgier 2019 revival.
261** The traditional dream ballet starts out normal enough as Laurey and Curly happily dance and are to be wed, then takes an abrupt turn into nightmare territory when Jud appears and takes control of the dreamscape as burlesque dancers appear and force Laurey into joining their number. Then dream-Jud kills dream-Curly during a fight, with the 1955 movie adaptation adding an even more surreal tone by having their fight take place in a tornado and Jud [[ImplacableMan not reacting to gunshots at all]] before closing in on Curly.
262** The 2019 revival of the show portrayed the dream ballet with a single dancer who represented Laurey's self-consciousness and intimacy, and fled as cowboy boots fell from the sky while Jud swept them offstage, with electric guitars heard nowhere else on the soundtrack to emphasize the feeling of being out-of-place.
263[[/folder]]
264
265[[folder:Theme Parks]]
266* The Ride/DisneyThemeParks have quite a few, some borrowed from the movies, others original to the parks such as the "Tomorrow's Child" sequence from the Walter Cronkite version of ''Spaceship Earth'' or almost the entirety of the original ''Ride/JourneyIntoImagination'' (which was part of why it was so beloved). Some of the ones based on movies include: ''Alice in Wonderland'', ''Mr. Toad's Wild Ride'', ''Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin'', and ''Winnie the Pooh''.
267* Appropriately enough, the Disneyland night show ''Theatre/{{Fantasmic}}'' includes one of these, in the form of an updated rendition of the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}''. Although, the entire show could be considered an Acid Sequence, as it is Mickey's dreams.
268* Across the way, Disney California Adventure has its own night show, ''Ride/WorldOfColor'', which could also be considered one big, long acid sequence in action.
269* In the ''Ride/ETAdventure'' ride at Ride/UniversalStudios, the ending celebration sequence on the Green Planet is pretty much this, with the planet sporting very trippy-colors and featuring some quite unusual-looking creatures, including one alien that outright looks like a mushroom.
270[[/folder]]
271
272[[folder:Video Games]]
273* ''VideoGame/AladdinCapcom'' replaces the "Friend Like Me" sequence with something that might be even trippier, featuring a cloud landscape dotted with Genie faced balloons, pots with bird wings and feet, giant Genie heads with stretched-out tongues you use as platforms, and random mini tornadoes.
274%%* One could claim the game ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}'' is just an interactive Disney Acid Sequence.
275%%* ''VideoGame/BeatHazard'', set to your own music.
276* About ''80%'' (think about it) of ''[[VideoGame/DragonsLair Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp]]'', even if not-that-acid tones.
277* ''VideoGame/Haven2020'' opens with a psychedelic hand-drawn/painted [[https://youtu.be/omsNUHAguHg animation sequence]] of the protagonists.
278* ''VisualNovel/ILoveYouColonelSanders'' has an [[https://youtu.be/Rl-ejtdBGww opening cinematic]] that's so wackily over the top and MindScrew-laden that looks like it was made while on a heaping dose of LSD.
279* ''VideoGame/TheJourneymanProject Turbo'' shows time travel as a sequence of drifting through rings and geometric shapes, accompanied by hard rock music and sound clips that Agent 5 already heard in the present. This is the only game in the series where this happens, though. ''VideoGame/PegasusPrime'' replaces it with a multicolored wormhole, and the 2nd and 3rd games just show flybys of the time zones you're heading to.
280* A big example of this trope is in the video game ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', in a scene describing the creation of Hyrule. Illia and Link are in a pitch black... space. They then see 3 Dark Links by a tree on a lone random hill in said endless pitch black area. Illia then [[spoiler: grabs a knife tries to KILL LINK]] and Link then [[spoiler:kills Illia with the Master Sword.]] Link then gets creepy white eyes and joins the dark links. Then about 100 Illias fall from the sky around Link and the sequence ends.
281* The boss stages in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' are rather trippy.
282* The Arceus event in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' treats you to a rather trippy montage of the creation of the universe, set to Arceus's very bizarre and dissonant theme music. This supposedly happens all over again ''every time anything ever is born.'' [[MindScrew Or something.]]
283* The whole of the {{defictionaliz|ation}}ed {{urban legend|s}} ''Myth/{{Polybius}}'', including the Game Over screen. As the intro screen warns, people prone to [[EpilepticFlashingLights photosensitive seizures]] should avoid the game.
284* ''VideoGame/Psychonauts2'': Near the end of "PSI King's Sensorium", Raz [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether reunites the members of PSI King's band]] for a performance. As PSI King regains his memories of being [[spoiler: Helmut Fullbear of the Psychic Six, one of the founding members of the Psychonauts]], he sings a trippy psychedelic rock musical number called "Cosmic I (Smell The Universe)".
285* ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'':
286** We've got [[BossCorridor Obani Draco]] in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'', which happens to be the home of a {{sadist}}ic [[EvilDiva pop star]] who directly works for the BigBad as his [[TheDragon dragon]]. What makes it an acid sequence is that it's almost completely [[DarkIsEvil dark pink]], contains a giant disco ball, [[spoiler: has a torture chamber]] and all of its residents are [[AlwaysChaoticEvil evil]].
287** Played straight in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters'' in "[[NightmareSequence Dreamtime]]".
288* ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'' has several, the interactive transitions between worlds: you skate on colorful beams of light, surrounded by '70s LSD imagery.
289%%* ''VideoGame/{{Rez}}'', and its spiritual sequel, ''VideoGame/ChildOfEden''.
290* In ''VideoGame/{{Spiritfarer}}'', [[spoiler:the mysterious dimension that Stella and Daria enter whenever the former plays the latter's song for her is a psychedelic world with floating platforms, some of which disappear for a few seconds. Stella has to jump on them to reach Daria before being taken back to the spirit world]].
291* ''Franchise/StarFox'':
292** The warp zones in Meteo and Sector X in ''VideoGame/StarFox64''. You go through the gates (in the case of Meteo, ''[[SpectacularSpinning while spinning out of control]]''), you end up in a hallucinogenic landscape (spacescape?), and suddenly you're halfway across the Lylat System. Talk about a [[{{Pun}} "wild trip"]]...
293** Likewise for [[AnotherDimension Out of This Dimension]] in [[VideoGame/StarFox1 the original]].
294* ''The Third VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ: Tengoku-Hen'' has [[Anime/Macross7 Basara Nekki, the VF-19 Kai Fire, and his band Fire Bomber]] regain access to the song "DYNAMITE EXPLOSION" after [[BagOfSpilling they lost it in the previous chapter]], ''Jigoku-Hen.'' When used to [[ThePowerOfRock debuff an enemy]] (or [[MusicalAssassin damage them outright]] if they are MadeOfEvil or particularly emotionless), this song produces one of these in the form of an animated ContinuityCavalcade referencing the original ''Macross 7'' anime.
295* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': "Meet the Pyro" alternates between "Pyroland", a rainbow-filled SugarBowl where the enemy team are FunSize, diaper-wearing fairies, and reality, where RED Pyro singlehandedly murders the BLU team in a gruesome fashion.
296* ''VideoGame/ToyStory3'': Bonnie's House is this in spades. The level starts off with an evil witch flooding Bonnie's room with coffee, and just getting more ridiculous from there. [[spoiler:Haunted Bakery is arguably even more so, with evil muffins coming after you and the same witch attacking you with deadly bubbles.]]
297[[/folder]]
298
299[[folder:Web Animation]]
300%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The final season of ''WebAnimation/InventionPioneersOfNote''.
301%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Many of the songs in the ''WebAnimation/CharlieTheUnicorn'' videos.
302* Without exception, all animation done by [=YouTuber=] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/cyriak Cyriak]]'' qualifies for this trope. See particularly the "Cows and Cows and Cows" Video, where you get cows that morph into {{Eldritch Abomination}}s through the dark arts of Adobe After Effects. Heck, any of Cyriak's videos has heaping doses of terrifying MindScrew-flavored eldritch beasts set in completely Etscheresque surreal landscapes that looks like it was created while he was high on ''something''.
303* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'' has this with DJ Pon-3's animated short [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh7j1qUaGOc "Music to My ears"]].
304[[/folder]]
305
306[[folder:Web Original]]
307* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ The very first episode]] revolves around a living sketchpad singing a song about being creative, which leads to [[SurrealHorror a bizarre and disturbing]] "creativity explosion".
308* WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic:
309** He does one of these in his review for ''Film/{{Junior}}''. In the middle of the review, he falls asleep and has a bizarre dream sequence while singing a song about how boring the movie is.
310** He also does one at the end of his review for ''WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer'' where he sings rather psychotically about how he "Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fucking Loves Christmas".
311* Several in ''WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera'', including the end of his Star Tours review, and the beginning of part 3 of his "It's a Small World" review.
312[[/folder]]
313
314[[folder:Western Animation]]
315* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
316** In "The Great Bird Man", Xergiok the goblin has a psychadelic musical number after he gets his eyes back.
317** "Food Chain" is a whole MusicalEpisode full of surreal, colorful musical numbers as [[GreatGazoo Magic Man]] sends Finn and Jake on a journey through the food chain. For added weirdness, the art style is based on the work of guest director Creator/MasaakiYuasa.
318* ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' had one of these in "Bummer of Love", where Norbert meets Treeflower at a Woodstock-like rock concert, and the two sing a psychedelic love song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW_JzMsYVyY I Think I Like You]].
319* In ''WesternAnimation/AnimatedTalesOfTheWorld,'' there was a song segment in the Chinese story ''The Magic Paintbrush'' where a young boy, who could paint images that come to life, was riding on a dragon while painting images that came to life.
320* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'''s AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker'' has one, courtesy of [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] in his VillainSong, "WheresTheFunInThat". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu5QmhnRo94 It has to be seen to be believed.]] Justified, as Joker has just become a RealityWarper.
321%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* In the 1982 ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'' [[ValentinesDayEpisodes Comic Valentine special]], the episode's second song starts out like this.
322* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens''
323** [[Recap/BigCityGreensS2E4 "Green Christmas"]]: The last third or so of "Good Deeds Are Good Indeed" turns into one, as Cricket, suddenly in vaudeville-style attire, is backed up by a bunch of singing and dancing presents.
324** [[Recap/BigCityGreensS2E12 "Time Crisis"]]: Remy has a neon-colored nightmare/stress-induced hallucination where giant violins assault him while a voice sings about how he's screwed up his life forever, until the King Of Violins catches him and throws him into the Sea Of Failure. Fortunately, at that point Cricket snaps him out of it.
325* ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'' started using trippy visuals for its music video sequences since Season 4, starting with "Robot Power". A straight-up example would be the "Gears" song in "Babysitting Heroes", which has Blaze, Stripes, AJ and the animals running across oversized gears.
326* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'':
327** In "Art Crawl", we get a glimpse at one of the crazy nightmares Linda was having about Gayle's animal anus paintings, which is a parody of the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence from ''Dumbo''.
328** "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" has Bob getting bombed on absinthe and having a Anime/MyNeighborTotoro-based [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5USniU_tgBs fantasy]].
329* The MGM short "The Cat that Hated People" involves the eponymous cat going to the moon to get away from humans, and when he gets there it gets ''really'' trippy.
330* ''El Cubo Mágico'', the sequel to ''WesternAnimation/DragonHill'', features one of these. Made in flash (in contrast to the otherwise traditionally animated movie, as well as CGI), this scene easily combines DerangedAnimation with horrible music and very confusing imagery, mostly focusing on the boy Kevin trying to beat up a wood Viking (and losing teeth in the process), [[spoiler: and later the wood Viking starts walking and dancing even though it was pretty much beaten up by the protagonists. Yeah..]].
331* The weird, not so great crossover movie ''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuckAndPorkyPigMeetTheGroovieGoolies'' has a very trippy sequence called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIP36Rc_CIo 'Mad Mirror Land']] wherein the three lead Goolies pursue the Big Bad into [[spoiler: the real world, at least in some respects. Things actually become MORE cartoon-like when in the real world]].
332%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * The songs "Imagination" and the reprise of "Is There Anyone?" from ''[[WesternAnimation/DavidCopperfield1993 David Copperfield (1993)]]'' are this.
333* The ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode "Aye Aye Eyes" contains a 70s style psychedelic musical number.
334* ''WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck'':
335** Much of the semi-{{edu|tainmentShow}}cational "WesternAnimation/DonaldInMathmagicLand", especially both the opening scene and [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind Donald's mental exercises]].
336** "WesternAnimation/DerFuehrersFace" has one, set to the title song going faster and faster while, among other things, ammunition flies around and Donald has to make himself into a swastika shape by dancing. Luckily, it was AllJustADream.
337* Creator/DrSeuss:
338%%** The 1972 Depatie-Freleng special version of ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHat'' had two sequences in it, one for the song "I'm a Punk", and another for "A Cat in a Hat".
339** The 1977 special ''WesternAnimation/HalloweenIsGrinchNight'' has the Grinch's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeFaBvL72a8 Paraphernalia Wagon]] full of screaming heads, disembodied giant legs, and other horrors who chase Euchariah through Escherian architecture.
340%%** There is an acid sequence towards the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrinchGrinchesTheCatInTheHat'', courtesy of the Grinch. This acid trip was played on the Cat while some very unfitting and wild Dixieland music played.
341** Creator/RalphBakshi's animated version of ''Literature/TheButterBattleBook'' has a rather unsettling one when the Boys in the Back Room are constructing their DoomsdayDevice, the "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo."
342%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The Star-on and Star-off machines in ''The Sneetches'', the first segment of ''Creator/DrSeuss on the Loose''.
343* The ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' TV series' musical numbers tend to vary between these, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big-Lipped Alligator Moments]] and normal musical numbers. A bit of a variation, since they usually refer to the plot (or current scene) within the episodes.
344* The "Bunyip" song sequence from the 1970s Australian "Animated characters on live-action backgrounds" film ''WesternAnimation/DotAndTheKangaroo''.
345* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
346** The episode where Brian takes care of a cranky old lady who has not been out of her house for 30 years and sings a song about all the things she still has to see that has happened in the world - the scenery changes constantly through the song, though it isn't all that "trippy" really.
347** A later episode, "Seahorse Seashell Party", has Brian experiencing a literal acid sequence, as he did mushrooms and went into a world full of strange creatures and hallucinations (and Peter being cooked on a spit naked while singing "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round").
348* In the "Jingle Fever" episode of ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'', the two have a rather surreal musical number about living at a convenience store.
349* Most of [[Creator/MaxAndDaveFleischer Fleischer Studio]]'s early cartoons are made of this, so much so that this trope should be named after them. If you don't believe that, look up "WesternAnimation/MinnieTheMoocher", "WesternAnimation/SwingYou Sinners", and the ''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop'' version of "WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|1933}}". Then there's "WesternAnimation/BimbosInitiation"; you have to wonder if the many burning (hemp) ropes we see in Fleischer films really are a now-obscure reference to weed.
350* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' would often have one accompanying a song number in one of the ThreeShorts (or sometimes two of the ThreeShorts). A good example would be the DreamBallet known as "What Harm Can It Do?".
351%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/GaryAndMike'': In the third episode, Gary winds up eating a brownie spiked with acid and has a very trippy one.
352%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer'' has two: Grandpa's song and Cousin Mel's villain song.
353* The Creator/VanBeurenStudios short "Gypped in Egypt" has one after Waffles the Cat and Don the Dog unwittingly kill their camel, which causes the Sphinx to put a curse on them.
354* Somehow, when Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons go weird, they go ''really'' [[DerangedAnimation weird]].
355** The best single example would be the fever dream-esque musical sequences in the already very strange ''Galaxy Goof-Ups'' (the adventures of Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound and a couple of wacky new characters... but they're in space!). Every so often, the plot would stall for a minute or two and they would go disco-dancing for no apparent reason.
356** The lesser-known HB cartoon ''WesternAnimation/TheCattanoogaCats'' sometimes went pretty trippy during the Cats' musical numbers, particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQFTxOEE1Tc "I Wish I Was a Fire"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7SuCwYLiH8 "Hoot Hoot Owl"]] (the latter has cut-out animation sequences, a major departure from usual HB work).
357%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The song "Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah" from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' episode "A Date with Jet Screamer"
358* The animated adaptation of Creator/EricCarle's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPpkaldk84Y I See a Song]]" is basically one big Disney Acid Sequence, but very pleasing and with lush orchestral music.
359%%* ''WesternAnimation/KatyLaOruga'': The party song from ''Katy the Caterpillar''.
360* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': In "[[Recap/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeastsS1E10BeyondTheValleyOfTheDogs Beyond the Valley of the Dogs]]", Kipo hallucinates when she and her friends are about to be crushed by rubble. She sees herself on a giant guitar floating in space, with her father playing a song about her while her friends dance on the guitar strings. Mandala-like symbols show up behind them and her before a meteor falls to destroy the guitar and she stops it with her bare hands, [[spoiler:causing further development in her mutations]].
361* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'': The hyenas' VillainSong "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcRq4g9pfoY Tonight We Strike]]" shows the hyenas coloured blue and contains some weird scenes, like the hyenas leaping through the air with spotlights coming from nowhere shining on them.
362* ''WesternAnimation/LittlePrincess'' has a opening sequence that is completely abstract and surreal, with only Princess and her toys swirling around in background, and only has one single line of lyrics repeated through the whole opening.
363* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' is full of these due to the way the series handles its musical sequences, but the one that takes the cake is "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO6zzyBBOZ8 Humanarian]]" from "[[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E19WhatDidYouSay What Did You Say?]]." It involves Blythe [[SickEpisode getting sick]] and the other pets aggressively confronting Russell about what to do with her, only it does so in a surreal [[TheEighties 80's]]-style music video, bright neon colors, and the accompanying weird special effects common during its time. Unlike a typical Disney Acid Sequence, however, Russell is aware of it (to a limited extent), and he becomes frustrated for a brief moment after it's over.
364* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
365** Almost the entire 1946 cartoon "WesternAnimation/TheBigSnooze" (the last one to be directed by Creator/BobClampett) consists of a crazy dream sequence of Elmer Fudd's that he has when WesternAnimation/BugsBunny invades this dream and turns it into a nightmare in order to make him return to working with Creator/WarnerBros and with Bugs.
366---> '''Elmer:''' *bombarded by [[http://images3.static-bluray.com/reviews/10441_14_1080p.jpg various weird designs of rabbits]]* Biwwions and twiwwions of wabbits! Where are they all coming fwom?!\
367'''Bugs:''' From me, doc! *playing with an adding machine that releases the rabbits* I'm multiplying, see? I'm multiplying!
368%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The entirety of ''WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland'' (and its color remake ''Dough for the Do-Do'') is about seven minutes of this.
369* Expect this from almost every ''WesternAnimation/{{Madeline}}'' song. (Very few songs avert this trope.)
370* ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Any time that Toki Wartooth decides to sing a solo, this is guaranteed to happen. So far we have:
371** "Underwater Friends", an [[Music/TheBeatles Octopus' Garden]]-esque sequence where he sings to the fishes surrounding him in his immersion tank.
372** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD0qyXMjb1s No More Hamburger Time]]" a song sung [[spoiler: to his dead cat]] that starts out surprisingly heartfelt...and then quickly devolves into madness when the rest of the band joins in.
373** "I am Toki", an autotuned song sung as Toki goes to meet his Internet lifemate. The dream sequence includes Toki transforming into a knight to rescue a hot princess in a castle from a giant green dragon who bleeds Lucky Charms marshmallows. And then there's a wedding where [[ItMakesSenseInContext the minister and all the guests are rabbits]]. This [[FanDisservice does not happen]].
374** Similarly, a LittlestCancerPatient fan who wants to meet Toki sends him a DVD of her singing a sweet song about wanting to be brutal - it segues into her and Toki singing and flying together, backed up by a chorus of candy-colored {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.
375%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Likewise his song, "I Believe" for ''WesternAnimation/MetalocalypseTheDoomStarRequiem''
376* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z-NbQvhzKM&list=FL6xfuw_Daaio La Seine]]" from ''[[WesternAnimation/AMonsterInParis Un Monstre à Paris/A Monster In Paris]]'' turns into one partway through, whereupon Francoeur and Lucille go from dancing on a stage, to dancing on a pier, in the air, and finally on top of the Eiffel Tower.
377* ''WesternAnimation/MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur2023'': Certain music-based segments will have the trippiness of the visuals kicked up a notch to match the energy of the music.
378* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0awe6OJB0o Moonshadow]]'', a cartoon based on a children's book by Cat Stevens, has the title track, one of his most famous songs, set upon the bizarre adventures of Teaser and the Firecat riding on the moon.
379* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
380** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyRescueAtMidnightCastle'': "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4TedkQP_hM Call Upon the Sea Ponies]]" is distinctly happening in real time -- the Sea Ponies are helping Megan and Applejack get back to the surface of the lake -- although it's still trippy.
381** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'':
382*** "Imagine You Were Friends" from "The End Of Flutter Valley, Part 9”. The art style goes from "somewhat refined even with animation errors" to "this looks like it was drawn by a four-year old".
383*** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyAndFriendsE12TheGhostOfParadiseEstate2 The Ghost of Paradise Estate, Part 2]]": The scene where the ghost chases the characters out of the house involves some very bizarre visuals, including a ghostly wall seizing a pony in its mouth, the specter taking on horrifying shapes as it chases the characters around, and a shot of moving, colorful shapes with no evident relation to anything else.
384%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** ''WesternAnimation/NowHearThis'' is basically this in its entirety.
385* ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'':
386** The infamous TV special ''It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown'' (featuring Heather, a.k.a. the [[{{Canon}} non-canonical]] Little Red-Haired Girl), has Charlie Brown experience one of these after the eponymous first kiss. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, because of it, Charlie Brown [[NoodleIncident doesn't remember anything else that happened after]], despite Linus explaining in detail just [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome how damn cool it was]].]]
387** One can't mention ''Peanuts'' acid sequences without mentioning the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nXl93ji30M "eponymous song"]] from ''It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown''.
388** And the opening credits of ''WesternAnimation/ItsTheGreatPumpkinCharlieBrown'', consisting of the kids in their Halloween costumes running in fright from various typical Halloween monsters before ending up in a pumpkin patch.
389* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
390** In addition to being a BigLippedAlligatorMoment and a rare ''canonical'' JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid, {{Animesque}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBfRMKnyXg&t=11 "J-Pop (Welcome to Tokyo)"]] is definitely one. Candace aptly sums up the audience's reaction:
391--->'''Candace:''' I have ''no idea'' what just happened.
392** In "The Ballad of Badbeard", Candace has a MushroomSamba with moss, so basically almost every scene with her in that episode was her hallucinating.
393--->'''Candace, during an otherwise entirely unrelated musical number:''' Why do my nostrils whisper to me?
394** And there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKAc3rnc0eM Livin' in a Funhouse]] from "Misperceived Monotreme".
395** ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'' has one as well, maybe more than one, considering how you view them. The song 'Brand New Reality' quickly degenerates into this trope as the song reaches the end and the alternate realities Phineas and the gang pass through get more and more surreal.
396** The staff must really enjoy animating these since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLLBaVzqmNE Going Deep Into Your Mind]] from "Monster From The ID" is another DAS, this time showing us Candace's mind, and it is just as crazy as everyone imagined.
397* The entire episode of "Note-Ablly Pink" in ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther Pink Panther and Pals]]''. The theatrically released "Psychedelic Pink" also counts.
398%%* ''WesternAnimation/PlutoThePup'': Pretty much the entire [[AllJustADream dream sequence]] in "Plutopia".
399* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D4ktI1Ixwg Roba rap]] in ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' episode "Magic Clock".
400* In the WesternAnimation/PorkyPig short ''The Wearing of the Grin'', Porky is accused of trying to steal the leprechauns' gold and is sentenced to wear "the green shoes", which force him to dance Irish jigs. He somehow is sent to a Daliesque wasteland full of harps and melting pipes.
401* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' had a scene in "Weekend at Benson's" where the guys drink the Mississippi Queen, a drink [[BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce so impossibly spicy]] that it caused Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson [[MushroomSamba to hallucinate wildly]] while the ''Mountain'' song "Mississippi Queen" played.
402* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' involves Stimpy getting [[BodyHorror sucked inside his own belly-button]], accompanied by a sequence with trippy images and an acid-rock influenced song.
403* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqiSBxvdws "Goodbye Moonmen"]] sequence in ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', where a sentient gas cloud named Fart sings to Morty in a David Bowie-esque voice with odd visuals and {{CallBack}}s to other episodes.
404* Any of the songs from the "Rupert and the Frog Song" VHS. Especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prH0Y4ex_m0 "Oriental Night fish"]] which has also been a source of nightmare fuel for many viewers.
405* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
406** The ending (and closing credits) of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS10E6DohInTheWind D'oh-in in the Wind]]".
407** A number of extended musical dream sequences definitely qualify, for instance Homer in the Land of Chocolate in "Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk", Lisa's laughing gas-induced Purple Submersible hallucination in "Last Exit to Springfield" and the hauntingly poetic "Little Nemo" homage an overworked Homer drops into when he falls asleep at the wheel in "Lisa's Pony".
408* There are several extremely acid-soaked sequences in the independent animated film ''WesternAnimation/SitaSingsTheBlues''.
409* The iconic "Walking in the Air" sequence from ''ComicBook/TheSnowman'' is an inversion, as it's pretty normal, albeit with very beautiful animation.
410* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "Doubling Down", this happens when Cartman finds out that Kyle is going out with Heidi.
411* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "Jellyfish Jam", [=SpongeBob=] and the jellyfish have an extended sequence consisting of various multicolored shots of them dancing as well as multiple alternating flashing surreal images.
412** In "One Trick Sponge", [=SpongeBob=] goes around town trying to get people to see a magic trick he just figured out. When he gives up and decides to do it in front of a group of rocks and twigs, it's revealed that the magic trick was a homage to ''Dumbo'''s "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence.
413* Almost any song in ''WesternAnimation/TeamUmizoomi'' will have certain elements of this trope that relate to the song. (i.e. [[http://www.nickelodeonafrica.com/shows/team-umizoomi/videos/umizoomi-snack-patterns/5fo1ib The Snack Patterns Song]])
414* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'':
415** In the episode "It's Never Too Late to Loon", Plucky Duck had to study hard for a math test the following day, and he begs Shirley the Loon to use her psychic powers to let him channel the intellect of Albert Einstein. What follows is a scene [[ShoutOut reminiscent of]] the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence from ''Dumbo'', complete with several Einsteins running around the screen until they collide with each other and explode, doing a waltz, squirting water like a fountain, before finally turning into cars that drive around for a while until they explode again, ending the dream and causing Plucky to wake up dressed like Einstein.
416--->''Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein\
417 MC squared, MC squared\
418 Relatively thinking, he just stands there thinking\
419 MC squared, MC squared, MC squared, MC squared...''
420** Another episode had a spoof of "It's a Small World" titled "[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2egccy_weirdest-stories-ever-told-elmyras-round-the-world_fun Elmyra's Round the World]]," where Buster dreams about being [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin chased around the world by various Elmyras]].
421* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
422** "What's not to Love" from the New York episode of ''Total Drama World Tour'' definitely counts. "The fun is funner, the bagels are bagler, the bums are bummer..."
423%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The crayon-drawn "Oh, My Izzy" love song sung by Owen.
424** If "What's not to Love" counts, then so does "Versus"--the active contestants become solidly colored except for outlines and haul around truck-sized logs and pineapples, while [[spoiler:Heather and Alejandro turn into giant volcano deities]], all to a purple hibiscus-pattern background.
425* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'', the end of "No Sleep Sleepover" has the Sandman chase down Unikitty and her friends in a colored-outline sequence, ending with the siblings being buried alive in a giant hourglass. Then it is revealed that it was AllJustaDream.
426* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'':
427** The sequence beginning with a DrosteImage in "The Box" which of course turns out to be AllJustADream, but it comes from Wander's anxiety of not being able to open the box he's delivering.
428** The song "Inside Your Mind" from the episode "The Void" definitely qualifies, due to said void being able to make [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Wander's]] imagination real. Multiple technicolor Wanders singing in harmony while each playing different instruments are just the ''beginning''.
429--->''Make up stuff that you wanna see\
430Like a psychedelic bumblebee\
431Do some things you wanna try\
432Like flyin' up in the sky\
433When you take a step inside your mind!''
434* ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' has lots of these:
435** The first example that the franchise has to offer is "Heffalumps and Woozles" from ''[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day]]''.
436** The ''[[WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh New Adventures]]'' episodes "King of the Beasties", "The Old Switcheroo" and "Eeyore's Tail Tale" each contain one.
437** From the holiday specials, we have "I Wanna Scare Myself" from ''Boo to You Too'', "When the Love Bug Bites" from ''A Valentine for You'' and "Easter Day With You" from ''Springtime With Roo''.
438** And in ''WesternAnimation/PoohsGrandAdventure'' there is Owl's "Adventure Is A Wonderful Thing".
439** "Round My Family Tree" from ''The Tigger Movie''.
440** "The More I Look Inside" from ''Piglet's Big Movie''.
441** "The Horribly Hazardous Heffalumps" from ''Pooh's Heffalump Movie''.
442** The "Too Much Honey" song number from ''Series/TheBookOfPooh'' story by the same name.
