* [[Disney Animated Canon]] is prone to this, especially during the early films, and "Disney Renaissance" that started with ''[[
** ''[[Snow White
** ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'' (1940): What a pretty town!
** ''[[
** ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'' (1959). Not only are the backgrounds meticulously and beautifully painted, the animation is flawless and the foregrounds are no less breathtaking. There's a reason this movie almost bankrupted Disney.

** The little-remembered ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]] Down Under'' (1990) had some amazing shots of the Australian Outback, and the New York scenes were pretty stunning as well.
** The ballroom scene in Disney's ''[[Beauty and
** [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] (1992) is full of Scenery Porn, drawn from reference photos of actual Islamic architecture. Not actual ''medieval Arabic'' architecture, mind you, but actual Islamic architecture.

** ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' (1996) made medieval Paris look absolutely beautiful.
** The shots of Chinese countryside in ''[[
** ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'' (1999) had a lot of it.

** Even Disney's [[Deranged Animation]] looks awesome; there's a reason Disney is the trope namer for [[Disney Acid Sequence]].
* Every production released by [[Hayao Miyazaki]] (and [[Studio Ghibli]] by extension) manages to pull at least a long sequence of very pretty scenery. (Given Miyazaki's [[Author Appeal|love of flying]], it's no surprise that every work has at least one extended aerial sequence.)
* Most of [[Makoto Shinkai]]'s work. Shinkai, in fact, will focus the camera on the Scenery Porn in the middle of important scenes with his characters. ''[[

* [[Pixar]] is very good at this:
** The vault where the doors and stored in ''[[Monsters,
** ''[[WALL-E]]''. Earth as a desolate wasteland is ironically the most beautiful looking thing in the film.

** And its [[Sequel]], ''Cars 2'', takes it [[Up to Eleven]] with new settings and colorful environments. At some points it looks a little ''too'' realistic for a universe made of Cars.

* The "Plagues" sequence in ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'' is the wrath of God made manifest. It looks awesome. Most of the movie falls into this category, honestly. From simple dialogue scenes showing the vast majesty of the Egyptian empire, to Moses walking out his front- er, tent flap to be greeted with sweeping mountain landscapes, to the crossing of the Red Sea, the movie is pretty much a scenery porn extravaganza.
