Tempting Fate/Film/Animated Films

Examples of in  include:


 * Corpse Bride does this twice. First, the opening song, "According to Plan", is all about how "every tiny microscopic little thing" must be just perfect for the wedding. You couldn't be asking for it more. Then, later, when Barkis is making his, he says, "No force on Earth can tear us apart!"
 * Toy Story:
 * "'It's safer in the cockpit than the cargo area'... what an idiot."
 * "What could possibly be worse than you?"
 * In Toy Story 3.

"Clerk: No! Over my dead body!"
 * The Incredibles: "We're superheroes. What could happen?" Actually happens twice, with the same result.
 * Finding Nemo: "No, I've never met a shark, and I don't plan to."..."Well, if I ever meet a sea turtle, I'll ask him... right after I'm done talking to the shark."
 * The Princess and the Frog: "I've climbed a mountain, I've crossed a river, and I'm almost there!" To be fair, she had already made it past a number of obstacles -- being a young, black, poor, woman... It was just that the magic took it to a whole new level of obstacles, and she couldn't have anticipated that!
 * In the Hungarian cult film Cat City, mice are on the good side, and cats are criminals. At the beginning, a bank clerk assures a worrying client that to this bank, cats could only break into with a tank. Guess what happens next. And his very next line...

"Radio: Things could be worse, you know! Lampy: How? Radio: How what? Lampy: How could they be worse? Radio: (after a beat) They couldn't. I lied."
 * Played with in the first The Brave Little Toaster movie:

"Eboshi: Cut off a wolf's head, and it still has the power to bite."
 * In Princess Mononoke, Lady Eboshi recommends caution with wounded opponents:

"Hopper: Well, what's this? Another one of your little bird tricks?"
 * Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.
 * While Roger is standing guard inside Maroon Studios he says "No one gets the drop on Roger Rabbit!" Seconds later he's conked on the head and knocked out by a frying pan.
 * Lampshaded later when Jessica says the only reason she knocked him out and stuffed him in the trunk of a car was because she didn't want him getting hurt. Lampshadeded again when Eddie responds with obvious irony, "Yeah, that makes perfect sense."
 * Well, it would make perfect sense to a toon.
 * The Earthworm in James and the Giant Peach, as he ponders what kind of bait would be good for seagulls.... ahem.
 * Kung Fu Panda: "Escape from Chor-Gom Prison is IMPOSSIBLE!"
 * A Bugs Life has Hopper tempt fate upon seeing a bird standing right above him. To be fair, fate was Crying Wolf earlier on, seeing as how the last bird Hopper saw before then turned out to be a fake one designed by Flik, and said bird showed up while Hopper was trying to strangle Flik. Still, it is interesting that his last words (aside from the screaming) were being said to Flik upon them seeing said bird...

 * Yellow Submarine. Ringo says "Nothing ever happens to me." Cue the title vehicle's appearance.
 * The Aristocats: "You're going to Timbuktu, if it's the last thing I do!"
 * Towards the end of Disney Animated Canon's The Hunchback of Notre Dame,
 * Brother Bear. "No fish were harmed during the making of this movie."
 * The premise of the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from the film The Lion King. Unfortunately, becoming king has a fairly drastic requirement...
 * Shrek the Third: "Someone better be dying!"
 * Pinocchio. "Hear that beetle talk; you'd think something was gonna happen to us."
 * The song "There Are No Cats in America" from An American Tail. However, it turns out that there are cats in America.
 * In the 2012 version of The Lorax The Once-ler delivers the line "I attend to keep biggering and BIGGERING, and turning more truffula trees into thneeds! AND NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP ME!" right before the final truffula tree falls.
