* ''I Will Go Sailing No More'' from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' has Buzz gripping with the realization that he's a toy.
* Subverted with "Leave Tommorrow 'Till it Comes" from ''WesternAnimation/TheReturnOfTheKing,'' which is sung at Frodo and Sam's lowest point: They've fallen down a hole and are too hurt and tired to get out. Frodo's knocked unconsious and all Sam can think to do is cry out to the Valar for aid. Frodo's sleep is haunted by nightmares of being imprisoned within Cirith Ungol, but it eventually turns into an ImagineSpot where he's able to complete the Quest without any compunctions. The song itself is about how a good night's sleep will let you get a new perspective on your problems.
