* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'':

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'':
** Dash comments that saying "everyone is special" is just another way to say that no-one is, which ends up echoed in Syndrome's MotiveRant. A bit later, Edna, while discussing why she doesn't work with capes, mentions a superheroine whose cape was sucked into a jet engine. [[spoiler: This ends up being ''exactly'' how villain Syndrome dies.]]
** Helen's supersuit being able to withstand missiles being fired upon it.
** The reason given for the rampage of the Omnidroid is that it got smart enough to question why it should take orders from its masters. At the time, this is a lie; but at the very end, the final version of the Omnidroid does, in fact, develop sufficient intelligence to question its orders and turns on Syndrome as a result.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'': "They never come back... as BOYS."

** Near the very beginning, while inside Kekata the Medicine Man's wigwam, Kekata actually tells Chief Powhatan about a dream he had of the settlers from England. As Kekata starts talking about his dream, he waves his staff around over a fire, causing the smoke rising from it to turn into a ghostly pack of wolves, which surround Kocoum. [[spoiler:This foreshadows Kocoum being killed by one of the settlers (aka Thomas), which is represented by the wolves.]]
** The smoke wolves then rush towards Powhatan, but are dissipated before they can surround him as they did with Kocoum, foreshadowing [[spoiler:how Powhatan is also nearly shot by Radcliffe]].

** The kids worry when they accidentally shoot an arrow into Prince John's territory and how he would react. Maid Marian and Lady Cluck reassure them nothing will happen. Later in the movie, Prince John is shown that he will throw the children in jail if they cannot pay taxes and have archers fire at them during the prison escape.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' has a gag during the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic goddamned awesome]] ''[[VillainSong Its Terror Time Again]]'' where Shaggy is frantically looking for a vine to swing across a crocodile-infested swamp and one of the zombies taps his shoulder from behind and hands him one. Since this sort of thing, a villain helping one of the heroes as a JumpScare OhCrap joke is a RunningGag with villains from the series, viewers think little of it. Then comes TheReveal that [[spoiler:the zombies are ''the good guys'' who have been cursed by the true villains, and the fact that the only thing a zombie who caught one of the heroes did was quietly help him and then stand by while he escaped becomes a lot more significant in hindsight.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':

* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' first film. During the song "One Jump Ahead", Aladdin and Abu grab a rug, jump out a window and glide on the carpet down to the ground. Later on, Aladdin acquires an actual flying carpet.

A few scenes later, he faces Drago and says, "It takes more than a little fire to kill me!" Guess what happens.

* ''Franchise/ToyStory'':
** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':
*** The first scene with Sid shows him blowing up a toy with a firecracker in his back garden. An indignant Buzz says he wishes he could have stopped him. Sure enough, this sets up the famous conclusion to the story where Buzz has to be rescued from being blown up and Woody and the Mutant Toys work together to stop him.
*** The large fire rocket from the finale is mentioned in an early scene with Sid and Hannah, where he asks her if a big package came in the post.
*** The Buzz Lightyear TV commercial mentions a place called Al's Toy Barn. This place happens to be a major setting of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'':
*** During Andy's playtime, Woody has to choose whether a captive Bo Peep gets eaten by a shark or thrown to the evil monkeys. Woody resolves this by [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third option]]. [[spoiler:Later he's forced into a choice between leaving Andy and his friends to live a long and honored but artificial existence as a museum exhibit, or leaving Jessie and co. to go back to Andy who will inevitably outgrow him. If you're wondering if this is a parallel with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever question of mortality vs. immortality]], then yes, that's because it is. Woody settles on going back to Andy ''and taking Jessie and co. with him''. Unfortunately, [[EvilAllAlong Stinky Pete]] has other ideas.]]
*** The Buzz Lightyear video game guide Rex reads gives the advice: "The secret entrance is to the left, hidden in the shadows." This provides a handy entrance into Big Al's apartment thanks to a vent hidden in the bushes.
*** Doubles as a Meaningful Background Event: When Woody first sees the "Woody's Finest Hour" tape, it's stopped in the middle of a cliffhanger, with Stinky Pete saying "Woody's Roundup" was cancelled before airing the conclusion. This is the very same tape Woody plays for the others when they come to rescue him, except he failed to pause it. [[spoiler:If you listen to the background after Buzz delivers his Armor-Piercing Question and leaves, you can hear the conclusion to "Woody's Finest Hour" before it goes into the "You've Got a Friend in Me" number]]. Or, in other words, [[spoiler:Stinky Pete lied to Woody and Jessie, and before his villainy comes out proper you get a little clue that he's trying to manipulate them]].
*** Of course, the prospect that [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Andy will eventually grow up and leave the toys without an owner or a home comes up again much later]].
** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'':
*** In ''Toy Story 2'', the defeated [[spoiler:Stinky Pete]] spitefully rants that the the toys will end up in a landfill somewhere by going with Andy, [[spoiler:[[PropheciesAreAlwaysRight and they indeed end up there]], only getting saved by [[BigDamnHeroes the LGMs]] in the nick of time]].
*** At the poker night, the veteran toys predict the new toys (Andy's) are headed for the "landfill", and are "toddler fodder". Obviously the former proved correct, [[spoiler:and you could interpret the latter as the toys [[EarnYourHappyEnding eventually joining Bonnie]]]].
*** In the daycare centre, Buzz greets another toy with "Buzz Lightyear, at your service!" [[BrainwashedAndCrazy He does.]]
*** "Death by monkeys?"
** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'':
*** In one of early Bonnie's play session, she takes Woody's badge and places it on Jessie to make her the Sheriff instead. [[spoiler:In the ending, Woody gives up his badge to Jessie, essentially promoting her to be the leader of the toys, while he stays with Bo Peep and her lost toys gang.]]
*** Harmony, the granddaughter of the antique shop's owner, takes Woody with her to the carnival. [[spoiler: She later shows up at the shop again and apparently forgets all about Woody. This shows that she doesn't seem to be invested in toys (or at least, toys like Woody) or care for them very much, which foreshadows that she will reject Gabby Gabby, another toy similar to Woody.]]
*** When he and Forky first pass by the antique store, despite Woody's previous urgency to get Forky back to Bonnie, as soon as he spots a chance to see Bo again, he takes it. [[spoiler:He chose Bo over Bonnie in that moment, just like he does at the end.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'':
** Dash comments that saying "everyone is special" is just another way to say that no-one is, which ends up echoed in Syndrome's MotiveRant. A bit later, Edna, while discussing why she doesn't work with capes, mentions a superheroine whose cape was sucked into a jet engine. [[spoiler: This ends up being ''exactly'' how villain Syndrome dies.]]
** Helen's supersuit being able to withstand missiles being fired upon it.

At the time, this is a lie; but at the very end, the final version of the Omnidroid does, in fact, develop sufficient intelligence to question its orders and turns on Syndrome as a result.
* In ''Disney/CinderellaIIDreamsComeTrue'', the first story has Prudence shooing away commoners from the castle gate. One of them is the baker who Anastasia falls in love with in the third story.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', the Other Father's song when he sang to Coraline.
---> ''She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine/ She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who's ever laid their eyes on Coraline/ When she comes around exploring/ Mom and I will never ever make it boring/ Our eyes will be on Coraline!''
** The Other Mother referring to the Other Father as "Pumpkin".
** When Spink and Forcible read Coraline's tea leaves and declare she's in danger, Spink sees a hand while Forcible claims it's a giraffe. [[spoiler:Both are right. The Other Mother's hand comes after Coraline near the end and the Other Mother's true form resembles a giraffe with a long neck and long, thin limbs.]]
** Forcible also mentions that she sees a "tall handsome beast" in Coraline's future, which may allude to the Cat who isn't tall but [[Creator/KeithDavid his voice actor]] certainly is.
** In the Other House, there are three frames, each with the silhouette portrait of a child in them. [[spoiler: Coraline will meet them as the three Ghost Children whose souls were eaten by the Other Mother.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'':
** After [[spoiler:creating Titan/Tighten]], Megamind holds up a picture of Metroman with the head ripped off, so [[spoiler:Titan's/Tighten]]'s head is in place instead. Later on, after [[spoiler:Titan/Tighten has revealed that [[FaceHeelTurn he prefers being evil]], he holds up the same Metroman picture, this time with Megamind's head in place. Not only does this hint to who the true hero will be in the film, it also gives a subtle clue as to who it ''really'' is when Metroman turns up during the final battle]].
** In the final fight shortly after Metroman [[spoiler:(Megamind in disguise)]] says his death was greatly exaggerated, he strikes a grand pose and the tassels on his boots straighten and flare out as if Metroman is even able to flex his tassels. This frightens Tighten who immediately takes off trying to get away. Metroman can't flex his tassels, [[spoiler:the tassels were being blown around by the jets as Megamind powered up his flying suit]].
** There's also a minor one that foreshadow's Metro Man's [[spoiler:desire to no longer be a hero]]. During his speech at the Metro Man museum while claiming it's a great honor to serve and protect Metro City, he looks absolutely ''miserable'' when he says he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTswFDgOqso&feature=youtu.be&t=36s wonders where he'd be in life]] had he not taken up the mantle of hero.
** Early in the film, Hal tells Roxanne: "I'll be watching you like a dingo watches a human baby!", an oddly creepy metaphor. [[spoiler: This is the first major hint that he's an EvilAllAlong {{Yandere}}.]]

--> '''Jackson''': Wow, thank you, Mr. [=McQueen=]. [[StealthInsult You have no idea what a pleasure it is for me to finally beat you.]]
* In ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'', during the scene where [[BigBad Maleficent]] is yelling at her goons, if you listen very closely when she hits her staff on the ground, it makes the same sound effect as her eventual dragon form's biting sound at the end of the film.
* In ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'':
** The opening line is Flynn saying, [[spoiler:"This is the story of how I died." Sure enough, he dies at the end, but he gets [[DisneyDeath revived]], which gives this the new meaning of Flynn dying, but Eugene living on]].
** One of Flynn's first lines is how much he wanted a palace. He's joking, but that's what he gets in the end.
** At the very beginning of the film, the mobile dangling above Rapunzel's crib is decorated with cutouts shaped like a chameleon, a duck, a horse, and a cherub. All four things would appear in some shape or form throughout the movie: Pascal the chameleon was Rapunzel's faithful companion, there was the "Snuggly Duckling" bar, Maximus the stallion helps Rapunzel on her journey, and Shorty the barkeep dressed as Cupid during "I've Got A Dream".
* ''Disney/TheLionKing'':
** "A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. The sun will set on my time here and will rise with you." [[spoiler:The guy who says that has his reign end at sundown, and in the end, his son ascends to the rock in the sunrise.]]
** At the end of "I Just Can't Wait to be King", the tower of animals collapse. It can be interpreted as PlayedForLaughs or foreshadowing how Simba's whole self-esteem is going to come crashing down due to Scar's frame-up.
** This bit foreshdaows Scar's reign.
--->'''Simba:''' Yeah, so you have to do what I tell you.
--->'''Zazu:''' Not yet, I don't. And with an attitude like that, I'm afraid you're shaping up to be a pretty pathetic king indeed.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'':
* Before reaching the town of Dirt, Rango has a bizarre dream that foreshadows things to happen later in the movie. The dying cactus moving. The rattlesnake tails. The shadow of the hawk flying. The voice of Roadkill asking him "Where are your friends now, amigo?" Rango being submerged in water.
** When [[spoiler:the mayor]] orders his men to call Rattlesnake Jake, they warn him specifically that Rattlesnake Jake is a "grim reaper" and "never leaves town without taking a soul". He doesn't listen and orders Jake to be contracted anyways. [[spoiler:After betraying Rattlesnake Jake, the mayor is dragged out of town by an angry Rattlesnake Jake.]]
* Disney's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' first film. During the song "One Jump Ahead", Aladdin and Abu grab a rug, jump out a window and glide on the carpet down to the ground. Later on, Aladdin acquires an actual flying carpet.
** Also during "One Jump Ahead", Aladdin sings "Next time, I'm gonna use a nom-de-plume", or a fake name, he later does this when he becomes Prince Ali.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'', Hogarth shows the titular giant a few comics, like ''Superman'' and Atomo, [[spoiler:later in the film, we learn the giant can fly, and Atomo bears an incredibly eerie resemblance to the titular robot's combat mode]].
* ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'': "They never come back... as BOYS."
* ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'':
** Near the very beginning, while inside Kekata the Medicine Man's wigwam, Kekata actually tells Chief Powhatan about a dream he had of the settlers from England. As Kekata starts talking about his dream, he waves his staff around over a fire, causing the smoke rising from it to turn into a ghostly pack of wolves, which surround Kocoum. [[spoiler:This foreshadows Kocoum being killed by one of the settlers (aka Thomas), which is represented by the wolves.]]
** The smoke wolves then rush towards Powhatan, but are dissipated before they can surround him as they did with Kocoum, foreshadowing [[spoiler:how Powhatan is also nearly shot by Radcliffe]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', whenever [[BigBad Oogie Boogie]] is talking, an insect will occasionally crawl out of the seams holding together his burlap body and all over him before finally disappearing back inside, annoying him as it does so.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': The first scenes show [[spoiler:a little child who does a perilous thing trying to get the attention from his oblivious father]]. Later, we will see the [[FreudianExcuse real reason why Gru wants to steal the moon]].
* Near the beginning of ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', while Milo and [[CoolOldGuy Whitmore]] are talking to each other, Whitmore presents several photographs to Milo showing the explorers he will be travelling with to Atlantis. [[spoiler:Commander Rourke's photograph shows only half his face.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'':
** In an argument with her mother, Merida tells her that [[spoiler:"You're a beast!"]]
** At the abandoned castle, [[spoiler:Bear!Elinor]] knocks over a large rock to [[spoiler:protect her daughter from Mor'du. In the final battle, she does this again, crushing him this time]].
** The very first scene has [[AMinorKidroduction young Merida]] playing with her family. Elinor plays at being a bear and chases Merida around the table, saying, "I'm goin' to gobble you up!"

* ''Disney/WreckItRalph'':
** As Felix and Calhoun prepare to go into the game ''Sugar Rush'', there is a particular subtle piece of graffiti on the wall: [[spoiler:the word Turbo, and the 8 bit face of the man himself]].
** Several times it is shown that Vanellope's glitching extends to whatever she is in contact with, including people like Taffyta. [[spoiler:During the race, this exposes King Candy for who he really is.]]
** King Candy immediately assumes Ralph is in ''Sugar Rush'' to steal his game, and goes crazy over the very thought. [[spoiler:It turns out that King Candy is actually Turbo and has stolen the ''Sugar Rush'' game, explaining his irrational outburst.]]
** When Vanellope first meets Ralph, she jokes about [[spoiler:using the "royal we"]] and later on, she has Ralph [[spoiler:kneel and appoints him like a knight, saying he was her "royal chump"]]. There is also the fact that she is the only character [[spoiler:with "Von" in her name which is associated with nobility]].
** When Ralph first enters the palace, he remarks to King Candy that it is oddly pink for a male character. King Candy insists that it's clearly ''salmon''. [[spoiler:Turns out the palace originally belongs to Princess Vanellope.]]
** King Candy's age and cartoony appearance in contrast to the {{animesque}} child racers shown that [[spoiler:he's not part of the game]].
** In Felix's flashback, Turbo's voice sounds very much like King Candy's.
** When attacked by Ralph near Diet Cola Mountain, King Candy is genuinely scared and tries to dodge his strikes, not out of sheer fear, but because of the fact that [[spoiler:characters that die outside their own games don't regenerate; he doesn't really belong in that game, and he knows it]].
** During the time-lapse sequence at the beginning of the movie, the Sugar Rush console is placed to the right; Vanellope can be seen on the console, [[spoiler:spoiling the fact she's an actual character in the game]]. In the same photo, she's driving King Candy's kart, [[spoiler:hinting she's the game's true ruler]].
** King Candy knows what "going Turbo" means but Sgt. Calhoun doesn't, despite their games both being relatively new. [[spoiler:That's because Candy is really Turbo himself.]]
** King Candy claims Vanellope cannot race because her actions could cause the game to malfunction and eventually become unplugged. [[Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet She indeed does just that.]]
* In ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', the titular character runs to catch up with the other girls throughout the song "Honor To Us All". At the end of the sequence, she opens her parasol slightly later than the other girls, foreshadowing the disaster of the matchmaker meeting that was to come.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}'':
** A flower kid idolizes Queen Tara and dreams of becoming queen like her. [[spoiler:She becomes the one to succeed Tara at the end of the film.]]
** A ronin is a samurai without a lord to serve. [[spoiler:Fittingly, Ronin goes through most of the film without a queen to command him.]]

--->'''Mike:''' It would never have gotten out if you hadn't been caught cheating last night!
--->'''Randall:''' Cheating!? I--''(catches himself)'' Cheating...

* ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons'':
** Wilbur bumps into a little girl carrying frogs. [[spoiler:That little girl was Fanny, Wilbur's mother, who teaches frogs how to sing.]]
** Just before Bud introduces Lewis to Fanny, he tells Lewis that he would like her. [[spoiler:Fanny is Lewis's future wife.]]
* A subtle and very clever foreshadowing happens in ''WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie'': A circus train is taken over by monkeys when their owners leave the locomotive to get coffee, and they end up crashing it somewhere in the forest. The audience starts thinking "I'm pretty sure this'll become plot relevant real soon" [[spoiler:and it does, with the Rugrats finding the wrecked circus train and the monkeys while lost in the woods]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish'', Chuck is washed into [=MacKrill=]'s lab with a jellyfish stuck on his head, which is what he will turn into later. Similarly, while in the lab, Fly comes across a stuffed fish labeled "California ''Fly''fish", which looks exactly like the one he will turn into.
** Not to mention the meaningful name Stella (Star in italian), who turns into a ''star''fish.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'':
** When La Muerte and Xibalba make the bet, Maria has gotten into trouble and her father sends her off to study abroad. Manolo gives her the pig she rescued as a parting gift. Joaquin races to catch her bonnet as the wind blows it off. Both call farewells to her as the train pulls away. When Manolo opens the gift Maria gave ''him'', it's a guitar, engraved with a message from Maria.
** While playing, young Joaquin has fashioned a pretend moustache. After the Montage, he has grown a real one.
** [[spoiler:When Manolo dies, his soul is shown leaving his body. No such effect was shown for Maria during her apparent death. Also, when he checks in with the attendant in the Land of the Remembered, he accidentally gives Maria's name instead of his, and the attendant doesn't see her name on the list. A few scenes later, it's revealed that she's still alive.]]
** When La Muerte and Xibalba take the forms of mortals to interact with Joaquin and Manolo during the AMinorKidroduction part, [[spoiler:they rather resemble Mary Beth and the security guard at the start, giving the hint as to who's ''really'' telling the story to the school children]].
** La Muerte, Xibalba and the Candlemaker are the only characters in the story that are not depicted as wooden carved dolls. [[spoiler:This is because that's what they really look like, as shown when La Muerte and Xibalba reveal themselves in the end.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'': Marianne comments that the Bog King should rethink his giant pointy teeth skull entrance as the two fly off [[spoiler:for a romantic evening]]. It [[DisneyDeath seemingly kills]] the Bog King when the castle starts collapsing later on.
* Early in ''WesternAnimation/{{Nine}}'', [[WellIntentionedExtremist 1]] claims "sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of many". [[spoiler:Though he means it in a TheNeedsOfTheMany context, ''1'' does just that near the finale and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath himself]] so 9 can defeat [[BigBad The Machine]] once and for all.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'':
** Early in the movie's [[AMinorKidroduction opening montage]], we see Riley as a toddler drawing a picture of a pink elephant-like creature on the wall, while singing "Who's your friend who loves to play, Bing Bong, Bing Bong!" The elephant-like creature is later revealed to be Bing-Bong, Riley's childhood imaginary friend, who helps Joy and Sadness on their way back to Headquarters.
** During Riley's first day of school, Sadness accidentally causes Riley to cry in front of the whole class; after she and Joy accidentally get sucked up the memory tube along with the core memories rendering Riley apathetic, the teacher says she understands how she feels after moving. [[spoiler:This foreshadows Sadness's true mission in headquarters: empathy.]]
* Several occur in ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'':
** Kubo lights a lantern in hopes that his deceased father's spirit will speak to him. When nothing happens, he gets angry and believes his father is ignoring him. [[spoiler:This is a hint that his father is not actually dead.]]
** Monkey has a scar under her eye [[spoiler:similar to Kubo's mother, hinting at her true identity]].
** Beetle appears to have collected several items from Hanzo's men. [[spoiler:Because he was there at the final battle, and he is Hanzo.]]
** When Kubo first meets Monkey, she tells him to get up before making him dinner, [[spoiler:like a mother]]. Beetle teaches Kubo how to fish. [[spoiler:Like a father.]]
** In the beginning, Kubo's mother faces two giant waves when trying to make it to the island. This foreshadows the two sisters and [[spoiler:that the '''Moon''' King is the main antagonist (waves are created by the moon)]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby'', when Tim and the Boss Baby are panicking about the idea that the Boss Baby might end up being fired from Baby Corp and become a real baby and be Tim's brother forever, Boss Baby comments that it [[spoiler:feels right. At the end of the film, this is what happens [[FamilyOfChoice by the choice of both of them]]]].

* ''Foreshadowing/{{Coco}}''

** Also, the Other Mother referring to the Other Father as "Pumpkin".

*** Alternatively, she could be talking about Other Bobinsky, who's a bit more charming than normal Bobinsky and is just as tall.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', after [[spoiler:creating Titan/Tighten]], Megamind holds up a picture of Metroman with the head ripped off, so [[spoiler:Titan's/Tighten]]'s head is in place instead. Later on, after [[spoiler:Titan/Tighten has revealed that [[FaceHeelTurn he prefers being evil]], he holds up the same Metroman picture, this time with Megamind's head in place. Not only does this hint to who the true hero will be in the film, it also gives a subtle clue as to who it ''really'' is when Metroman turns up during the final battle]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'', [[JerkJock Chick Hicks]] is assigned with the number 86, which not only references the year Pixar was first established, but also a slang term for being fired. Which is exactly what happened to Chick at the end of the film for deliberately pushing Strip "The King" Weathers off the racetrack.
* When Lightning [=McQueen=] and his pit crew arrive at Tokyo, Japan to meet Miles Axlerod in ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} Cars 2]]'', while they are all talking to Axlerod, Sarge is frowning while everyone else is smiling, suggesting that he is thinking that Axlerod is up to no good, and he ends up being in the right.
** Also, the line "But I ''never'' leak oil!"
* ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'':
** One of the biggest themes in the movie is MasterApprenticeChain. Doc and Lightning were both injured during a racing tournament and both end up becoming [[spoiler:coaches to a newer model car]].
** There were subtle hints that [[spoiler:Cruz]] would become a [[spoiler:racer]]:
*** During a demolition derby competition, one of the workers spray paints the number "20" on them for the competition.
*** When Smokey brings up how Lightning wasn't injured in the above demolition derby the viewer may also notice that neither was [[spoiler:Cruz]], despite [[spoiler:her]] being a rookie. Also Smokey fails to point out that Lightning did damage himself a little, losing a tire, but [[spoiler: Cruz came out ''completely'' undamaged.]]
*** Cruz's golden paint job is almost the same shade as Lightning's lightning bolt motif.
*** When Lightning announces he will go to Thunder Hollow to compete with real racers, Cruz slumps worryingly as Luigi talks. [[spoiler: This foreshadows her DarkAndTroubledPast when she lost her only chance to become a racer herself.]]
*** Lightning and Cruz's training session on the beach [[spoiler:heavily foreshadows him becoming her mentor, as despite his frustration with having to teach her how to drive on sand, he keeps at it. And by the end, Cruz is able to keep up with him]]. The same thing happens at the demolition derby [[spoiler: as Lightning spends over half the race yelling instructions to Cruz on how to survive the onslaught. This is even when he gives her the same advice Doc gave him all those years ago of "turning right to go left"]].

* In ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', the opening line is Flynn saying, [[spoiler:"This is the story of how I died." Sure enough, he dies at the end, but he gets [[DisneyDeath revived]], which gives this the new meaning of Flynn dying, but Eugene living on]].

* ''Disney/TheLionKing'': "A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. The sun will set on my time here and will rise with you." [[spoiler:The guy who says that has his reign end at sundown, and in the end, his son ascends to the rock in the sunrise.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'', before reaching the town of Dirt, Rango has a bizarre dream that foreshadows things to happen later in the movie. The dying cactus moving. The rattlesnake tails. The shadow of the hawk flying. The voice of Roadkill asking him "Where are your friends now, amigo?" Rango being submerged in water.

* Near the very beginning of ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'', while inside Kekata the Medicine Man's wigwam, Kekata actually tells Chief Powhatan about a dream he had of the settlers from England. As Kekata starts talking about his dream, he waves his staff around over a fire, causing the smoke rising from it to turn into a ghostly pack of wolves, which surround Kocoum. [[spoiler:This foreshadows Kocoum being killed by one of the settlers (aka Thomas), which is represented by the wolves.]]

* Near the end of ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', as [[SinisterMinister Judge Frollo]] is destroying Quasimodo's model of Paris, at one point he grabs the wooden figure of Esmeralda and throws it, knocking down a wooden figure of himself in the process.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', in an argument with her mother, Merida tells her that [[spoiler:"You're a beast!"]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', this line comes up.
--> '''Waternoose''': James, this company has been in my family for three generations. I would do anything to keep it from going under.

** What's better that it does ''not'' fool the audience as being a BigLippedAlligatorMoment.

* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': Early in the movie's [[AMinorKidroduction opening montage]], we see Riley as a toddler drawing a picture of a pink elephant-like creature on the wall, while singing "Who's your friend who loves to play, Bing Bong, Bing Bong!" The elephant-like creature is later revealed to be Bing-Bong, Riley's childhood imaginary friend, who helps Joy and Sadness on their way back to Headquarters.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'':
** The first scene with Sid shows him blowing up a toy with a firecracker in his back garden. An indignant Buzz says he wishes he could have stopped him. Sure enough, this sets up the famous conclusion to the story where Buzz has to be rescued from being blown up and Woody and the Mutant Toys work together to stop him.
** The large fire rocket from the finale is mentioned in an early scene with Sid and Hannah, where he asks her if a big package came in the post.
** The Buzz Lightyear TV commercial mentions a place called Al's Toy Barn. This place happens to be a major setting of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'':
** During Andy's playtime, Woody has to choose whether a captive Bo Peep gets eaten by a shark or thrown to the evil monkeys. Woody resolves this by [[TakeAThirdOption taking a third option]]. [[spoiler:Later he's forced into a choice between leaving Andy and his friends to live a long and honored but artificial existence as a museum exhibit, or leaving Jessie and co. to go back to Andy who will inevitably outgrow him. If you're wondering if this is a parallel with the [[WhoWantsToLiveForever question of mortality vs. immortality]], then yes, that's because it is. Woody settles on going back to Andy ''and taking Jessie and co. with him''. Unfortunately, [[EvilAllAlong Stinky Pete]] has other ideas.]]
** The Buzz Lightyear video game guide Rex reads gives the advice: "The secret entrance is to the left, hidden in the shadows." This provides a handy entrance into Big Al's apartment thanks to a vent hidden in the bushes.
** Doubles as a Meaningful Background Event: When Woody first sees the "Woody's Finest Hour" tape, it's stopped in the middle of a cliffhanger, with Stinky Pete saying "Woody's Roundup" was cancelled before airing the conclusion. This is the very same tape Woody plays for the others when they come to rescue him, except he failed to pause it. [[spoiler:If you listen to the background after Buzz delivers his Armor-Piercing Question and leaves, you can hear the conclusion to "Woody's Finest Hour" before it goes into the "You've Got a Friend in Me" number]]. Or, in other words, [[spoiler:Stinky Pete lied to Woody and Jessie, and before his villainy comes out proper you get a little clue that he's trying to manipulate them]].
** Of course, the prospect that [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 Andy will eventually grow up and leave the toys without an owner or a home comes up again much later]].
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'':
** In ''Toy Story 2'', the defeated [[spoiler:Stinky Pete]] spitefully rants that the the toys will end up in a landfill somewhere by going with Andy, [[spoiler:[[PropheciesAreAlwaysRight and they indeed end up there]], only getting saved by [[BigDamnHeroes the LGMs]] in the nick of time]].
** At the poker night, the veteran toys predict the new toys (Andy's) are headed for the "landfill", and are "toddler fodder". Obviously the former proved correct, [[spoiler:and you could interpret the latter as the toys [[EarnYourHappyEnding eventually joining Bonnie]]]].
** In the daycare centre, Buzz greets another toy with "Buzz Lightyear, at your service!" [[BrainwashedAndCrazy He does.]]
** "Death by monkeys?"

*** When Smokey brings up how Lightning wasn't injured in the above demolition derby the viewer may also notice that neither was [[spoiler:Cruz]], despite [[spoiler:her]] being a rookie.
** Lightning and Cruz's training session on the beach [[spoiler:heavily foreshadows him becoming her mentor, as despite his frustration with having to teach her how to drive on sand, he keeps at it. And by the end, Cruz is able to keep up with him]]. The same thing happens at the demolition derby [[spoiler: as Lightning spends over half the race yelling instructions to Cruz on how to survive the onslaught. This is even when he gives her the same advice Doc gave him all those years ago of "turning right to go left"]].
