* In the Disney short ''WesternAnimation/Lorenzo,'' a MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon, tango music is used as the background for a story about a gluttonous, prideful cat with a beautiful bushy tail. After failing an OldBeggarTest, Lorenzo's tail is enchanted into sentience and sweeps him into a tango around town. He tries various, increasingly dangerous methods to quiet it, including electrocution and having it run over by a train, until the old beggar cat returns and suggests he cut it off. Lorenzo is reluctant, but eventually relents, only to have the tail ''grab the knife'' to defend itself. Lorenzo is eventually successful in cutting off as the song reaches its triumphant end.
