* In ''[[The Lion King]]'', when Zazu is asked by Scar to sing a more upbeat song while imprisoned, he sings the first few words of "[[Ear Worm|It's A Small World]]" to which Scar vehemently shouts "No! No! Anything but that!" [[Insistent Terminology|Cast Members]] at [[Disney Theme Parks]] also love taking pot shots at "It's A Small World" in general.
** In the broadway musical version, he instead sings [[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|"Be Our Guest"]] and gets the same reaction from Scar. This doubles as a [[Mythology Gag]], since ''Beauty and the Beast'', was the first Disney animated film that became a musical and paved the way for the Broadway version of ''The Lion King''. When ''Beauty and the Beast'' closed, it got replaced with [[Mary Poppins|"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"]], and at least one performance has him sing [[Frozen (Disney film)|"Let It Go."]]

* ''[[Wreck-It Ralph]]'' - and the sequel, ''[[Ralph Wrecks the Internet]]'' - is full of this, most of the humor being lighthearted pot-shots at Disney's vast collection of properties.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' takes a few shots at itself in "[[Who Would Want to Watch Us?|The Ember Island Players]]", where the Gaang goes to see play done in tremendous detail about everything that happened to them since Aang's awakening. In an early episode ("The Great Divide"), the group stopped at a canyon and wound up trying to resolve the differences between two feuding clans. Many fans felt it was the worst episode in the series. In the play when the actors playing them spot the canyon they point out its existence... [[Discontinuity Nod|and then decide not to stop and just keep going]]. There's also Sokka saying that {{spoiler|whether or not Jet died wasn't very clear}}.
