* In ''[[Up]]'', it happened in the montage with Ellie and Carl.
* Played straight in ''[[The Agony and Thethe Ecstasy]]'', where [[Charlton Heston]]'s Michelangelo sees a vision of "The Creation of Adam" in the clouds and is inspired to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
* The opening scene of the film version of ''[[James and Thethe Giant Peach]]''
* The young [[Amelie]] took pics of these clouds with her secondhand Instamatic camera.
* Variation: ''[[Shrek]] 2'' has Donkey mentioning "that bush that looks like Shirley Bassey".
Line 35:
* The children in ''The Candymakers'' do this. One boy has dyslexia, and wishes that doing this was taught in school instead of reading.
* The picture book ''It looked like spilt milk'' is all about this.
* In ''[[The Dragon Hoard (Literature)|The Dragon Hoard]]'': Jasleth, faced with a group of men with hostile intent, attempts to distract them by engaging them in a conversation about the shape of a cloud. It doesn't work.

* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation]]'', "Imaginary Friend":
{{quote| '''Data''': I believe what you are seeing is the effect of the fluid dynamic processes inherent in the large-scale motion of rarefied gas.<br />
'''Guinan''': No, no. First it was a fish, and now it's a Mentonian sailing ship.<br />
Line 44:
'''Guinan''': Right there. Don't you see the two swirls coming together to form the mast?<br />
'''Data''': I do not see it. It is interesting that people try to find meaningful patterns in things that are essentially random. I have noticed that the images they perceive sometimes suggest what they are thinking about at that particular moment. ''(pause)'' [[Out-of-Character Moment|Besides, it is clearly a bunny rabbit]]. }}
* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series]]'' episode "This Side of Paradise". Spock and his girlfriend Leila Kalomi are looking at clouds.
{{quote| '''Spock''': That one looks like a dragon. You see the tail and the dorsal spines?<br />
'''Leila''': I've never seen a dragon.<br />
Line 50:
* On [[The Golden Girls]], Rose said she saw a cloud that looked just like a cotton ball.
** Another gag has Sophia saying she's going to hang out with the 'Cloud Society', which entails the group getting drunk and saying what they think the clouds look like.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]:'' A slight variation in the episode "Listening to Fear" with Willow and Tara on a roof at night, making up new names for constellations of stars.

Line 91:
* Done in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in the episode where Bart steals the head off a statue. He's hanging around with some anti-social kids who see people being stabbed and the like in the clouds.
** In a ''Simpsons'' comic, Homer is going on a diet, but all of the clouds [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere|look like donuts to him]].
* Parodied in ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' when Spongebob and Sandy go cloud-gazing. Spongebob remarks: "That one looks like a flower!"...except ''all'' the "clouds" ''are'' flower-shaped.
** Lampshaded by Sandy: "Spongebob...all the clouds look like flowers...all the time?"
* In one episode of ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'', they're comparing Mr. Ratburn's class with the class next door: both are studying clouds, but while Mr. Ratburn's students are going to the library to look up stratus and cumulonimbus and cirrus clouds, the kids in the class next door are lying on a hillside and telling each other what shapes they see.
* In the ''[[Recess]]'' episode when the gang are all mentoring kindergartners, Mikey and his younger counterpart bond by looking at clouds together.
* In ''[[The Lion King]] 2'', Kiara and Kovu look at the constellations, a scene reminiscent of that in the first movie with Timon, Pumbaa, and Simba. This is how Kiara first gets a feel for how it is for those in exile.
