** In ''[[Toy Story]] 3'', {{spoiler|near the end, Lotso gets picked up by a garbage truck driver and tied to the grill alongside some other toys, which warn him to keep his mouth shut. You see multiple dead bugs on the grill, around and on the other toys}}.

* In ''[[Bee Movie]]'', Benson ends up on a truck's windshield, where he discovers that the other bugs are just pretending to be splattered in order to hitch a ride. Except for the grasshopper, who really is dead.

** And then [[It Gets Worse]].

** About halfway through the actual movie, Lightning [[Mc Queen]] actually races against Sally in the woods, and ends up getting [[Stealth Pun|VW Beetles]] in his bumper (which actually serves as his mouth). Guess [[Eye Scream|what will actually happen]] if said Beetles fly into his windshield (which serves as his eyes)!

** The bee in the teaser for some reason is an ''actual'' bumblebee. In the movie, all animals are also supposed to be vehicles, so that bee really should have been either [[Transformers Generation 1|a VW Beetle]] or [[Transformers (~~Film~~)|a Camaro]] colored to resemble a bumblebee.
