Even smelly warthogs can scream like girls.

  • In Aladdin, the Genie screams like a girl many times. For example, when Aladdin rubs the lamp for the first time and lets him out. And when Iago introduces Kassim to the Genie as the King of Thieves, before Aladdin introducing Kassim to the Genie as his father.
  • Beauty and the Beast: Nobody screams like a girl while falling to their death like Gaston!
  • In Big Hero 6, Wasabi, the largest and toughest-looking of the team, screams like a little girl when he's nearly crushed by a shipping container thrown by Yokai.
  • A Bug's Life: Flik, whenever he screws up.
  • In one of the trailers for the CGI film Chicken Little, the title character's father warns him that in a few seconds he's going to scream like a little girl as they try to avoid the meteorites being hurled upon them. Sadly, this never happens in the actual film.
  • In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco does when he thinks Misty, Pacha's llama, is the demon llama and when jaguars start chasing him in the jungle.
  • From Flushed Away:
    Spike: Any last requests?
    Roddy: Yes. Could you fly, quite suddenly, off the boat, screaming like a girl?
    Spike: What? [is jerked off the boat by the cord he's attached to] AAAAAAAAAAH!
  • Frozen:
    • Frozen: Olaf shrieks a great deal in the first movie.
    • Frozen II: The sequel. When he sees the Water Spirit he runs through the forest screaming like a little girl.
  • Horton Hears a Who!: The Sour Kangaroo when Vlad Vladikoff pops up behind her.
  • Sid from the Ice Age movies screams quite girly. What else can you expect from John Leguizamo?
  • In The Incredibles, Syndrome does this when Jack-Jack goes demon-baby and pulls out his hair. Also, just as he's about to die. Foreshadowed when Syndrome is taunting Mr. Incredible at his island base.
  • Inside Out: Immediately after Jangles the Clown appears in a dream out of nowhere, Fear screams like this before hitting a panic button to wake Riley up.
  • Kung Fu Panda 4: The wolf who gets a bowl of chili pepper in the face during the tavern brawl lets out a particularly shrill scream.
  • Petrie belts out a ton of these throughout The Land Before Time. There is a surprisingly not Played for Laughs case during the final climax however when Petrie makes an absolutely chilling shriek as Sharptooth drags him down to his Disney Death.
  • Pumbaa in The Lion King when he sees Nala about to pounce on him, as seen in the page image. He also does it in the 2019 remake when Nala first leaps out to chase him and Timon.
  • Roxanne points out that Megamind does a pretty good example.
  • This is how Moana and the demigod Maui meet. Maui lifts her raft with one arm, proclaiming, "A BOAT!! The gods have given me a boat!" He then notices our titular heroine and squeals in surprise, dropping it and nearly crushing her.
  • Monsters vs. Aliens:
    • President Buffoon shrieks like a frightened girl the first time he sees Ginormica. Especially amusing since the previous four identical girly screams were from an actual girl. The scene is even funnier when you consider that Ginormica was the only one of the monsters that scared him. Shows that a powerful, unstoppable woman is what all men fear most — even the President!
    • When the giant Killer Robot proves Immune to Bullets, an army officer starts to order a retreat in a high-pitched squeal, then quickly clears his throat so he can speak in a more manly tone.
    • Ginormica also does this when she meets Insectosaurus and when the robot starts chasing her.
  • Lampshaded in Mulan, with Chi Fu's line, "And I do not squeal like a girl." This is, of course, immediately followed by the girliest scream imaginable. Made even better in the DVD Commentary when directors Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook discuss how story artist (and future Home on the Range co-director) John Sanford provided the girly scream, despite being a man. They tried getting a real woman to scream, a child to scream, but decided to keep Sanford's scream, because "no-one can scream like a little girl like he can."* The old female squirrel in The Sword in the Stone screams like a woman among seeing Merlin transform back into his human form. Somewhat justified in that it's a female squirrel, but is not an anthropomorphic talking one.
  • Open Season:
    • Ian, Manliest of Mule Deer Stags, is galloping gracefully with his herd across the river when the floodwater comes down. Mid-leap he turns to look at the rushing water and gives a girly scream just as it hits.
    • Boog also does this when he and Elliot meet, when he finds himself in the forest and when he sees animal heads in Shaw's house.
  • Captain Hook from Peter Pan and its sequel Return To Neverland does this a lot, especially when some hungry beast is chasing him around.
  • Lampshaded in Resident Evil: Degeneration when Claire and the other survivors are holed up in the small office they hear a high-pitched scream and Claire decides to investigate. A few scenes later she comes back with an unknown man and people ask where the "girl" is.
  • In The Road to El Dorado, upon both Miguel and Tulio seeing the giant stone Jaguar activated by Tzekel-Kan, they perform a seldom-seen double girly scream. Even better, if you listen carefully enough, you can tell that there are two distinct screams and, more importantly, which scream belongs to who (Miguel's scream is the higher-pitched one).
  • Ratchet from Robots screams like this a lot whenever he's in trouble.
  • Ultimate Avengers: Hank Pym/Giant-Man lets out a scream when the Hulk punches him in the leg.
  • Up: Young Carl when Young Ellie appears at his window.
  • Wallace & Gromit: In The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Victor lets out a very high-pitched scream when the Were-Rabbit flings a log over him and Gromit.
  • Wreck-It Ralph: Markowski does this when he sees a cockroach. Bonus points for doing this right after declaring that "only the bravest" serve in Calhoun's squad. It's a little understandable once it's shown exactly what kind of "bugs" he faces down in Hero's Duty time and time again.
