• itemLabel: “Peepy’s Secret”. The visuals include giant Peepys floating through space, various Item Label characters charging at the camera, and oversaturated colors everywhere.
• Every installment of the Metro Manners PSAs, following Super Kind's Transformation Sequence, cuts to a musical sequence that takes place on highly stylized sets rather than on a bus/train like the rest of the episode. These feature surreal touches such as supersized fruits floating in the background and a mini train coming out of Super Kind's mouth. This is particularly evident in the "Seat Hogging" PSA, where all the sets are filled with brightly-colored geometric shapes. At the end of the song, it cuts back to the bus, and it's unclear whether the dance number really happened or not.

• Both of the first two Dragon Ball Z OVA films subject Gohan to this. Neither really have anything to do with the movie's overall plots.
  • Dead Zone has "Tenkaichi Gohan" (The World's Greatest Gohan) after Gohan eats an alcoholic apple. By Gohan's perspective, he begins to hallucinate. In reality, he's stumbling around all over the place. Eventually, he sobers up, and is found when he pees off a high ledge...right onto Krillin.
  • The World's Strongest has "Piccolo-san Daisuki" (I love Mr. Piccolo) when he falls asleep while studying. It just shows him following Piccolo around a Super-Deformed dreamscape. Though the song is entirely positive, the last visual scene of the sequence is Piccolo's Heroic Sacrifice shielding Gohan from Nappa's attack during the Saiyan saga.
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: The torture dance sequence. Mista, Fugo, and Narancia, having captured the still-living severed head of the rival gang member Zucchero, are trying to interrogate him, and when he refuses to say anything (because he's not capable of saying anything), they hang him from a fish hook by his eyelid, which is held open while a pair of glasses focuses sunlight into a beam that is searing directly into his eyeball, and then suddenly start playing music and dancing for absolutely no good reason while the helpless Zucchero is Forced to Watch. It's implied the psychedelic visuals in the anime are actually Zucchero starting to hallucinate from the prolonged torture.
• Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere: Episode 9 showcases the fight between Futayo Honda and Kimi Aoi in an Acid-Trip Dimension where Futayo uses her Tonbokiri spear and Kimi simply utilizes dancing. All of this is done to a club house remix of P-01s' Leitmotif. Definitely much better than it sounds.
• Every song in One Piece Film: Red, as a result of Uta's Sing-Sing Fruit powers. Every song she sings creates a crazy imagery. The Sing-Sing Fruit draws people who hear her singing into an illusionary world, where she can control everything. The problem is that she wants to keep everyone trapped in her dream world forever...
• Tamagotchi!: Lovelitchi and Melodytchi's first performance of "Happy Happy Harmony", in episode 49b, features elaborate visuals such as them in front of bunches of musical notes, them holding hands as they fall into an abyss in outer space, them walking in front of visuals of amusement park rides that are themselves imposed over a night sky with fireworks, and them riding a rainbow above the ocean. Aside from the musical notes, there isn't much in the sequence that has to do with what the lyrics are describing (it's a song about enjoying music).

Disney Animated Canon

• The hallucinogenic scene in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs seems mostly fueled by fear (as she's running through the scary, dark woods), but it's certainly trippy too. Being the first animated full-length movie, it sets up a great precedent for Disney to contain a whole realm of further trippy scenes, even if all we're seeing is the main character's perspective when something gets overwhelming — positive or negative. Somewhere in the film's early stages, Snow White was actually supposed to have a dream sequence of her future with Prince Charming. Judging by the remaining concept art, they were going to be floating in midair against a starry technicolor rainbow sky. It got scrapped, but was eventually used to end Sleeping Beauty (1959).
• Dumbo has Pink Elephants on Parade. Dumbo and Timothy Mouse drink water spiked with discarded champagne and hallucinate all these freaky-looking elephants. Ironically, "seeing Pink Elephants" is the slang term for what happens when an alcoholic abstains from drinking for a long time.
  I can stand the sight of worms
  And look at microscopic germs
  But technicolor pachyderms
  Is really too much for me! [Evil Laugh]
  I am not the type to faint
  when things are odd or things are quaint
  but seeing things you know there ain't
  can certainly give you an awful fright!
  What a sight!
• Bambi: When Bambi gets twitterpated after getting kissed by Faline, the entire background turns into clouds, up until the jealous Ronno appears.
• The second and third acts of The Three Caballeros involve Donald Duck going through one strange animated/live-action musical number after another before climaxing in a mock bullfight, with a costumed Donald as the bull and Panchito as the bullfighter. One DVD edition even calls the closing sequence "Donald's Surreal Reverie".
• "After You've Gone" from Make Mine Music, featuring lots of crazy dancing musical instruments.
• The "Too Good to Be True" sequence from the "Bongo" segment of Fun and Fancy Free has Bongo and Lulubelle falling in love accompanied by two cupid teddy bears and lots of heart imagery.
• Melody Time:
  • Set to a frenetic, jazzy version of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee", "Bumble Boogie" is a nightmarish journey through the music world from the POV of a poor bumblebee.
  • "Blame It on the Samba": Man, trippy as hell! This makes sense, given that most of it takes place inside a wineglass.
• Cinderella (1950): "Sing Sweet Nightengale" has Cinderella sing inside of multiple colorful bubbles.
• Most of Alice in Wonderland (1951) counts as well. Wonderland being a world where logic is missing is filled with surreal and bizarre imagery. Highlights include the Cheshire Cat's unusual manner of disappearing/reappearing/shape-shifting, Alice's altering size moments, and the frenzied ending where all of the characters including the ones exist only in the story told by other characters appear.
• The Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day featurette has the "Heffalumps and Woozles" sequence where Pooh has a nightmare about them spurred by Tigger who told him that they steal honey. One part also reuses some animation from "Pink Elephants" from Dumbo.
• The Aristocats: The whole ending which reruns the song "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat" is a crescendo of breaking the willing suspension of disbelief: firstly, the fact that Madame Bonfamille opens a foundation for street cat jazz bands, without seeing anything weird in animals playing music, is hard to swallow. Then, the background begins to fade while the cats are jazzing. Characters who are not supposed to be here, the geese then the dogs (who did not ever interact with the cat protagonists) join the song. Eventually, the words "the end" finish to break the fourth wall by bumping into the head of Napoleon.
• Beauty and the Beast (1991) features "Be Our Guest". It is downplayed but one can't deny the sheer craziness of what is quite possibly the most spectacular dinner show ever animated. Commentary tracks provided on the DVD even acknowledge that it throws logic out of the window, but the end result was Worth It.
• Aladdin has "Friend Like Me" sung by Genie as he elaborates on his Benevolent Genie nature. This is a rare in-universe justification as Genie's powers allow him to do virtually anything.
• The Lion King (1994) has the "I Want" Song, "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", which shifts from the rather subdued savanna landscapes from the rest of the movie to a bright, colorful, angular style inspired by traditional African artwork. Even the background animal designs become more stylized, trading in their realistic color schemes for Amazing Technicolor Wildlife.
• The Hunchback of Notre Dame: "A Guy Like You". The commentary track references this trope, going so far as to suggest that everything involving the three gargoyles might be Quasimodo's imagination.
• Fantasia 2000: In the "Pines of Rome" sequence, some sort of Negative Space Wedgie gives a pod of whales the power of flight, whereupon they rise into the atmosphere, enter space itself, and ultimately breach the surface of the "ocean" of the atmosphere — the animators assure us it's intended to be ambiguous.
• Home on the Range: The cattle-rustling sequence. Dancing cows, shifting colors (except for Grace), and Randy Quaid yodeling.
• The Princess and the Frog:
  • "Almost There", which is a very sudden Art Shift into the style of Tiana's restaurant folder.
  • Dr. Facilier's Villain Song "Friends on the Other Side", which has a very trippy sequence during the "transformation central" portion.
• Tangled: "Mother Knows Best" is downplayed, but too much is happening that isn't physically possible for it to be taken as literally happening like that. Like the dozens of candles that suddenly appear on the stairs (there wasn't enough time for Gothel to have put them there; also her cape goes through the candles but doesn't catch fire); the spotlight (in a time before electricity...) controlled by Gothel and how she makes projections (ruffians, poison ivy) in it; she cannot have had enough time to have painted the red "man with pointy teeth" on the floor. Note that Gothel is usually regarded NOT to be a witch (which would be the only reasonable explanation for everything to be happening exactly as shown).
• Winnie the Pooh (2011) has two: "The Backson Song", done as a living chalk drawing, and "Everything is Honey", where Pooh is in a world made of honey, including honey clones of himself as backup dancers on the rim of a giant honey pot.
• Frozen: Olaf's song "In Summer" is a low-key example, but it's done in a distinctly different style than the rest of the film, involves a lot of anachronisms (e.g., hats from 20th century America), and when Anna and Kristoff appear in it, they both look a little freaked out.
  • Frozen II: Kristoff's song "Lost in the Woods" is presented as a cheesy 80s music video, with Sven speaking with the voice Kristoff often gives him, and reindeer providing background vocals.
• Moana:
  • The first movie:
    • Medium Blending is used to have Moana and Maui interact with Maui's 2D animated tattoos in "You're Welcome". Though for once, it actually plays a part in the plot: Moana is so enthralled by the surreal visuals Maui's song summons, she doesn't even notice when the song shifts from talking about how awesome Maui is to how he's totally going to steal her boat in a few seconds while she's distracted. A keen eye can also interpret what's actually happened physically — just before the Acid Sequence kicks in, Maui throws a blanket over the camera, and the patterning on the blanket forms the background of the surreal visuals. Maui threw a blanket over Moana and blindfolded her so he could get her distracted and steal her boat.
    • There is also the second half of Tamatoa's villain song "Shiny", when he blocks out the light to his cave, so only the glowing bioluminescent algae is visible.
  • Moana 2: "Can I Get a Chee-Hoo?" is a Pep-Talk Song framed not unlike a American Gladiators-style training area done in a similar style to "You're Welcome".
• Ralph Breaks the Internet: Parodied during Vanellope's Slaughter Race song where everything she's singing about wanting involves very unsettling and dangerous things within the game's inner city motif.
• Encanto:
  • Luisa's song "Surface Pressure" is full of fantastical, colorful visuals of her doing things like fighting Cerberus or literally balancing the whole world on her shoulders like Atlas. Since the song is about Luisa feeling a lot of stress from trying to be useful to everyone, the visuals are meant to be symbolic of her insecurities.
  • There is also "We Don't Talk About Bruno", which has a lot of frightening imagery. Each family member's verse brings Mirabel into their moment/flashback, namely Pepa and Félix's wedding day.
  • Subverted with Isabela's number "What Else Can I Do?". It seems at first like the bombastic number full of technicolor flora that she's summoning is another symbolic moment just happening in their heads. Then we're shown that Isabela is actually making all of this happen in real life and she and Mirabel have burst through the ceiling on the giant tree and magical plants are now covering the house and sprouting all around town.
• Wish: After Asha leaves Valentino and Star in a stock room with chickens, Asha and her friends find out that he's leading said flock of chickens in a colorful musical number, thanks to Star's magic.

Disney direct-to-video sequels

• In Pooh's Grand Adventure:
  • There is Owl's song, "Adventure is a Wonderful Thing", in which he sings of the horrors awaiting the gang on their journey with gusto.
  • Later, Rabbit's "If It Says So" has tinges of this, as massive signs begin to pop up everywhere during the song.
• The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars: After the appliances leave earth, they run into some sentient balloons for very little explainable reason (and keep in mind, talking balloons didn't appear before this in any of the movies). The balloons sing a song called "Floating" regarding how they made it into space. They close their song by floating away and then... next scene. It's completely thrown away and never brought up again.
• The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea: "Gonna Get My Wish" has Morgana’s ink form the visuals of her taking over Atlantica.
  • The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning: "Just One Mistake" suddenly turns into a bouncy disco number with Marina trying on costumes, including some that make no sense, such as a French beret, a train conductor uniform, and Madonna. It happens abruptly, then goes back to normal.
• The Lion King 1 ½ has Timon's song, "That's All I Need", lampshading it. The sequence of the 'props' sliding out back to the Savannah and the hyenas' sarcastic applause makes it evident that far from a bunch of animals suddenly displaying amazing choreography skills, this is genuine daydreaming/acid consumption territory, but since Timon is awake, it is not actually a dream.
• Kronk's New Groove: Towards the end of “Feel Like a Million”, Yzma, Kronk and the others are transported to a rather strange broadway styled environment, complete with synchronized swimming.

Other Disney Movies

• Winnie-the-Pooh has lots of these:
  • From the holiday specials, we have:
    • "I Wanna Scare Myself" from Boo to You Too.
    • "When the Love Bug Bites" from A Valentine for You.
    • "Easter Day With You" from Springtime With Roo.
  • The Tigger Movie: The song "Round My Family Tree", in which Tigger sings about what his family might be like, is shown as a fast-paced sequence with a myriad of art shifts and pop-culture references, unusual for a Winnie-the-Pooh film.
  • "The More I Look Inside" from Piglet's Big Movie. It is a non-trippy and heartwarming one where the imaginary scenarios where Piglet saves the day for the gang play out in their crayon drawings.
  • "The Horribly Hazardous Heffalumps" from Pooh's Heffalump Movie. It has rather trippy visuals and seems to have been inspired by the classic "Heffalumps and Woozles."
• The Brave Little Toaster: The song "Cutting Edge", which involves, among other things, a singing table lamp somersaulting through outer space. Of course, this is a movie where every character is an inanimate object. (We're not sure whether that makes it better or worse.)
• The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie's Song is a downplayed, and maybe justified, example. In the song, almost everything in Oogie's casino-themed lair, including Oogie himself, glows in bright neon colors as if under a blacklight, only to return to normal tones when the song ends. Considering all the gadgets that Oogie has, it's not unreasonable to assume that he might actually have a blacklight in his lair, but this is never made clear. Played straight with the dancing ghost figures that appear at the very end of the song. Those are harder to explain.
• A Goofy Movie:
  • The original has "On the Open Road" which includes a bunch of girls popping out of a piano, while it's played in the back of a pickup truck, and a corpse dancing on a hearse. Being a Goofy movie, of course, it's not impossible that this is actually happening, but it's still pretty trippy.
  • An Extremely Goofy Movie: Goofy's dream during the mid-term. An almost-literal example given the era it harkens back to (The '70s). Ends in a White Void Room.
• Teacher's Pet (2000): The Movie: "I'm Moving On" stands out thanks to the Lampshade Hanging that immediately follows it.
  (song ends, Leonard and Mrs. Helperman are stripped down to their undergarments and left standing in the middle of a parking lot)
  Mrs. Helperman: Well, that was strange.

Pixar

• The Incredibles 1 was to have a Dream Sequence set to jazz music where Helen Parr dreamt about her husband cheating on her with hundreds of silhouetted, beautiful women in order to highlight her suspicions about her husband's behavior, but it was cut due to length and the fact that they would never get away with so blatantly stating what Helen's fears were in a Pixar film.

Other Animated Movies

• All Dogs Go to Heaven: This Don Bluth film contains one where Charlie encounters an over-the-top giant big-lipped alligator who sings a bizarre song to him while doing an Esther Williams homage. It's all really weird and nothing to do with the story, aside from a very brief callback later on.
• The sequel All Dogs Go to Heaven 2 features a darker example, as Carface's new ally turns out to be the Devil. During the big Villain Song "It Feels So Good to Be Bad", Red (the Devil character) makes the scenery change several times through each verse. One moment, it's a bizarre hellish barber shop, then a nightmarish roller coaster, and finally something resembling Fire and Brimstone Hell.
• Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein: “Things Out There”, the first song, due to its nature as a diegetic musical performance, giving the film an excuse to add lots of spooky imagery worthy of a horror-themed movie.
• An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster: Fievel's nightmare at the beginning, which includes being chased by a demonic cat with a mousetrap at the end of its tongue.
• Anastasia:
  • This other Don Bluth film has the half-remembered, half-imagined dancing sequence in the royal palace, complete with imaginary Pimped-Out Dress.
  • There's also the Villain Song "In The Dark of The Night" with the singing and dancing bugs.
  • Also on the ship later, Anastasia is seeing butterflies and her family in a pleasant meadow while, in actuality, she is on a ship in a storm. Quickly changes to horror when her family and the pleasant meadow turn into demons and Hell, respectively. This is just one of many attempts that the Big Bad tries to employ to kill her, but still.
• Animal Crackers (2017): Horatio's Villain Song, "Could've Been Mine," starts out in Horatio's makeup room, but transitions to a variety of surreal, colorful scenes in the number. Throughout the song, you'll see Horatio climbing a spiral staircase of animal crackers, transforming into a giant, shadowy, beastly form, surrounded by neon signs, standing atop a tower of animals, and more, before fading back to the makeup room at the end of the song.
• The Asterix animated films sometimes do these. These animators are crazy!
  • Asterix and Cleopatra: Obelix, hungry and in the desert, dreams up "When You're Eating Well You're Well", an Ode to Food full of trippy scenery and dancing foodstuffs like roast wild boars, cheeses, and more.
  • Asterix and the Big Fight: Cacofonix tries to restore Getafix's memories with a song. Thanks to Getafix's delirious state, the sequence morphs into a rock and roll music video for a song about Getafix getting hit on the head. The scene only lasts a little over a minute but is full of crazy and surreal imagery, including Cacofonix's harp morphing into an electric guitar and multiple clones of Fulliautomatix and Unhygenix singing backup.
• Balto II: Wolf Quest: "Who You Really Are" seems quite trippy to some degree. Starts out as just lights coming from a crystal, then pictures start moving as voices start talking to Aleu that she can actually hear. Justified as it is supposed to be a spiritual vision for Aleu.
• In Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, Beavis eats a peyote cactus while in the desert and experiences a surreal animated music video for White Zombie's "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks and Cannibal Girls". Animated by band member Rob Zombie, no less. Mike Judge didn't want to have this scene in the film in the first place. MTV wanted a music video somewhere in the film similar to the TV series, but Judge thought that would stop the plot dead and compromised with the hallucination sequence. It was still awesome though.
• Bébé's Kids: The Tunnel of Love Music Video.
• Cat City: The Four Gangsters song has much more surreal animation than the actual movie. Justified in that it's a video clip watched by the cats, thus may involve visual effects. Someone worded it as that video is 100% unadulterated Camp.
• Charming: While marinating in the cooking pot, the Half-Oracle gives vague (and half-true) premonitions to Lenore about her love-life (or lack thereof), complete with a trippy song sequence to the song "Balladino" sung by the Half Oracle (played by Sia).
• Corpse Bride: The song "Remains of The Day" briefly devolves into a black void of skeletons playing music.
• The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie: As Porky and Daffy have their first day of work at the chewing gum factory and start enjoying it, the scene turns for a few minutes into a surreal Art Deco sequence to the tune of Powerhouse.
• Eight Crazy Nights: "Let It Out, Davey"/"Intervention Song"-drunken montage with extensive Product Placement.
• El Cubo Mágico, the sequel to Dragon Hill, features one of these. Made in flash (in contrast to the otherwise traditionally animated movie, as well as CGI), this scene easily combines Deranged Animation with music and very confusing imagery, mostly focusing on the boy Kevin trying to beat up a wood Viking (and losing teeth in the process), and later the wood Viking starts walking and dancing even though it was beaten up by the protagonists.
• In FernGully 2: The Magical Rescue, there is the song "Wanna Go Home" — a perfect example since lighting springs from nowhere, cages vanish and animals start dancing.
• The Fixies: Top Secret: “If You Try To Catch A Fixie” is one of these, courtesy of Fire’s travels through the electrical system being depicted as him entering a 2D-animated world filled with living outlets and circuit boards that look like they have rocket boosters on them.
• Fixies Vs Crabots: “The Eugenius Tango”, where Erica’s 3D-printed doll of Eugenius comes to life and sings a song mocking him, inside a 2D-animated environment.
• Heidi's Song:
  • Heidi's Dream Sequence fittingly features a variety of colorful and surreal creatures.
  • The "She's a Nothing" song sequence has Rottenheimer, Sebastian, and Schnoodle transform into monstrous versions of themselves to torment Heidi.
  • "Ode to a Rat" uses surreal imagery frequently, but the most notable part is the dance sequence near the end, which has the rats transported to a dimension with bright colors and patterns evocative of the Jazz Age in the background.
• Jetsons: The Movie: "You 'N Me" - Judy Jetson and her new boyfriend are in a holographic area that changes with their thoughts.
• The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire: During the song, "Beyond the Mysterious Beyond", the female Rainbow Face briefly makes the scenery resemble outer space while the male one holds an atom in his hand. These could easily be dismissed as standard Disney Acid Sequence logic if not for the fact that Littlefoot reacts to them with visible surprise.
• Lapitch the Little Shoemaker: "Shoe Song" and "Dirty Rat" are full of colorful and trippy imagery.
• In the 2012 adaptation of The Lorax, the Once-ler's Villain Song uses images that would seem rather improbable if taken literally, such as trees being felled by noise from a gigantic set of speakers or the Once-ler sprinkling pepper on the Lorax as if to eat him while singing about survival of the fittest, to metaphorically depict the growth of the Once-ler's company and his increasing self-delusion.
• Madagascar 1: Alex is hit with a tranquilizer dart and starts hallucinating a psychedelic music video set to a Sammy Davis Jr. cover of "The Candy Man" from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. It comes to an end and he wakes up in the zoo during a press conference, weakly trying to get up as a zoo representative explains to the crowd that he and the rest of the main cast are going to be released into the wild. The crowd panics as they see the "dangerous" lion getting up and he gets tranked again. Then the entire Candy Man sequence plays again, but in fast-forward. Special mention goes to the absolute storm of darts that are fired at Alex to put him back to sleep. Only one of them hits him. Made even better by his lax "Ah maaaan," clearly knowing what's about to happen.
• A Monster in Paris: The "La Seine" sequence becomes this about halfway through, with Lucille and Francœur dancing on the rooftops of Paris and on the Eiffel Tower, though we can assume this is not meant to be literally happening within the story.
• Muzzy in Gondoland: The song "AEIOU, I love you" starts as a motorbike ride; then the bike suddenly flies in the air, over a rainbow, among the stars; then the background fades and we see that the motorbike is still on the road, with Bob and Sylvia imagining the flight.
• The New Adventures of Little Toot: The “Percy’s Perfect Purple Pickled Pelican Pellets” song consists of purple pelicans (drawn in a more simplified manner than the movie’s usual style) marching across a green-and-blue background while splitting in two, laying eggs that immediately hatch into more pelicans, appearing and disappearing at random, and generally performing various trippy actions.
• Padak: All the musical numbers switch to a hand-drawn animation style as opposed to the rest of the movie's CGI, and they mostly consist of abstract and psychedelic imagery, giving them a dreamlike feel.
• Peanuts:
  • A Boy Named Charlie Brown has several surreal musical sequences. The first is a straightforward "Star-Spangled Banner" stars and stripes montage, the second is a crazy nightmare scene with Snoopy fighting the Red Baron, the third an extended musical number where Linus and Charlie Brown study for a spelling bee with giant letters everywhere, the fourth is a Fantasia-style scene with Schroeder on piano, the fifth is a nightmarish bus ride to the city (with a hallucinating Linus, who has been deprived of his blanket) and the sixth is a fantasy skating scene with Snoopy.
  • Roughly in the middle of Snoopy, Come Home, there's a trippy montage where multi-colored versions of Snoopy and Woodstock walk through surreal backgrounds to an instrumental version of one of the film's songs.
• The Phantom Tollbooth contains a scene where Milo tries to conduct the sunrise but winds up making the whole sky go crazy.
• In The Road to El Dorado, "It's Tough to Be a God" enters acid sequence territory towards the end; it's implied that the characters singing the song have become intoxicated.
• Sahara: The first time Eva is hypnotized by Omar's flute, there is a surreal musical sequence with an Art Shift to 2D animation. The sequence contains images of Eva feeling trapped by Omar and his snakes, and wanting to return to Ajar, but being tempted by George.
• The Rankin-Bass Christmas classic Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, which explains Santa's origins, features a spectacular acid sequence when the Love Interest, having just met an extraordinarily generous young man in a red suit, sings about her world turning upside-down. It starts with her contemplating her reflection in a fountain and devolves into psychedelic pop-art weirdness. Although it's sometimes cut from TV showings now, this scene has Jessica/Mrs. Claus let down her hair to reveal herself as Beautiful All Along; it's got lots of floating bubbles of color.
• The Secret of NIMH: Venturing into the Rosebush, with all its trippy goodness, including a leering face made of lights and a giant sentry rat with a huge freaking halberd!
• Steven Universe: The Movie: "Isn't It Love" features a trippy recreation of the emotions Ruby and Sapphire felt when they fused for the first time. The song lasts just over a minute in real time, but is only a second or two in the context of the movie.
• The Swan Princess: The third film has “She’s Gone” where Lord Rogers has just been dumped by Zelda who's disguised as a damsel-in-distress, and this illustrates the way it is to be by using unintentional satire and overblown melodrama. Also, he handles his despair when Queen Uberta sarcastically tries to snap him out of it.
• Three Bogatyrs: “Dobrinya and The Dragon” features one when the Duke of Kyiv eavesdrops on three women being impressed by Elysei going to rescue Zabava, do a hip-hop music number with every suggestive dance move imaginable, and resume the conversation.
• Vivo: The animation can get very surreal in some of the musical numbers, such as in "Mambo Cabana" when Andrés imagines traveling to Miami and performing with Marta, and in "My Own Drum" to show Gabi's chaotic and overwhelming personality.
• In The Wind in the Willows (1983), the instrumental interlude of "Ducks' Ditty" has the ducks perform a Busby Berkeley/Esther Williams-style ballet number while being illuminated with trippy lens flare effects. Neither Rat nor Mole notice or mention it.

• The Villain Recruitment Song "That's Motivation" in Absolute Beginners (1986) features Vendice Partners and Colin performing amidst a variety of brightly colored set pieces themed after 1950s consumerism, playing into Vendice's attempts to make Colin part of his all-style, no-substance world.
• Aladdin (2019) gains a new example over the original in the reprise of Jasmine's new song "Speechless". It's not overly surreal, but shortly into the song Jasmine suddenly evaporates the guards escorting her before she storms back into the palace and turns more guards into dust, all with time slowed down to a crawl. In the end, it's supposed to be symbolic and going on within her head, but it's the only scene in the movie not actually happening for real, and there's no transition into it being an Imagine Spot.
• Babes in Toyland has the song "I Can't do the Sum", during which Mary Contrary (played by Annette Funicello) sings mostly on a black background, with duplicates who flip upside down and sideways while changing colors.
• Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar: The namesake “buried treasure” from the drink Barb, Star, and Edgar share at the hotel bar turns out to be a mystery pill will the three take with little hesitation. They immediately begin to trip balls in a sequence complete with flashing lights, distorted voices, and an EDM remix of Céline Dion’s “My Heart will Go On.”
• In the Ken Russell film adaptation of the stage musical The Boy Friend, daydreaming by members of the cast and crew often causes the fairly mundane production numbers — accurately representing what you'd see if you actually went and saw the play in a theater — to warp into elaborate and surreal fantasies.
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: The scene when the Oompa-Loompas were singing about Mike Teavee. As the TV Mike's in flips through various channels, the Oompa-Loompas appear as Marion Crane and Norman Bates in Psycho, the Beatles, a news anchor, etc.
• In Danger Diva, Devi's first outing as an opera singer is intermittently viewed through a kaleidoscope, giving the effect of multiple limbs and heads.
• Dumbo (2019): The "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence returns instead as a quasi-magical part of the Dreamland performance, where the pink elephants are conjured up with pink bubbles.
• Crossed over with Makeover Montage in Earth Girls Are Easy's first musical number "Brand New Girl" as Valerie receives an Unnecessary Makeover from her colleague/friend Candy Pink, most obviously invoking this trope with a quick cut runthrough of other new looks she could have besides the Everyone Loves Blondes one she gets.
• The Fall Guy (2024): While at a nightclub looking for Tom, Colt is drugged and fights off several goons while high, with the lighting effect becoming very trippy and sparks flying away from every impact. Even after it dies down, he still hallucinates a full-sized unicorn.
• In Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, the stoner Spencer gets abducted by Freddy through the TV, accompanied by psychedelic visuals that leak out of the screen, set to Iron Butterfly's In A Gadda Da Vida.
  Freddy: Hey, Spence! Let's trip out!
• Grease:
  • "Beauty School Dropout", which is the climax of the film's C-plot. Features Frankie Avalon and white-clad dancers out of nowhere - interacting with the subject of the song personally - along with an abrupt setting change.
  • Similarly, the "Turn Back the Hands of Time" number in Grease 2, which takes place when Stephanie apparently spaces out in the middle of the talent show and imagines singing a duet with the spirit of her Mysterious Protector in what we can only take to be Biker Heaven. Except that when Stephanie returns to reality at the end of the number, the audience is applauding and she's won the talent show, leaving us to wonder if they all somehow experienced the whole sequence with her. And, if not, then who was really singing the male part of the duet while she was tripping out?
• Head is essentially a feature-length acid trip, but especially with its songs by The Monkees:
  • "Porpoise Song," at both the beginning with Mickey alone swimming with mermaids and the end with all four members, has a series of two-tone scenes of the group underwater.
  • "Circle Sky" features the group in a mock concert with mirrored images of themselves.
  • "Can You Dig It" features harem girls seducing the group, with Mickey, straight out of Lawrence of Arabia mockery, smoking a hookah.
  • "Daddy's Song," written by Harry Nilsson, features Davy dancing in alternating black and white costumes respectively on cream and black backgrounds.
  • "Long Title: Do I Have to Do This All Over Again?" is depicted as "The Cop's Dream," but is more of a nightmare scene.
• Live a Little, Love a Little: Greg has a dream in which he dons a shiny blue suit, is in a vague place filled with changing blue, pink and yellow lights and is warned by apparitions of the various characters he has met to get away from Bernice. Then he sings "Edge of Reality", where he dances with Bernice, who keeps changing into different women.
• The Red Shoes Ballet from The Red Shoes: at first it makes sense as a literal ballet and reflection of the protagonist's inner turmoil, and then she grand jetés into surreal land.
• Shock Treatment features "Looking for Trade", in which Janet has a nightmare of being lost inside Dentonvale. Almost the whole number takes place under extremely garish lighting, the sound is distorted and Brad keeps appearing out of nowhere.
• Sinners (2025): The sequence where Sammie plays in the Juke Joint and the narrator reminds us that some musicians have the power to summon spirits from the past and future. Sure enough, both African tribal spirits and visions of black musicians from the future begin to mingle unseen among the patrons as the building metaphorically catches fire and burns down around them.

• Several musical numbers from The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953) by Dr. Seuss but particularly the Dungeon Orchestra scene and "Dress Me, Dress Me". During the dance number involving the roller skating, Siamese-bearded twins, the hero downs a swig of some "powerful stuff" beforehand.
• The Spanish film Los Chicos con las Chicas, featuring One-Hit Wonder Los Bravos, has several of these with the group's less popular songs, particularly "Going Nowhere" (a dream sequence alternating between live-action and animation) and "Sympathy" (featuring multicolored silhouettes of singer Mike Kennedy and his alleged girlfriend). Even the sequence for "Black is Black," the group's one "hit," is quite surreal, but not to the same extent, mainly because of the surreal background it's set on.
• In Tommy, there is the aptly-named "Acid Queen" sequence, in which Tommy is loaded into a giant sarcophagus lined with hypodermic needles as part of an insane and desperate effort to cure his ailments. It's loaded with nightmarish visuals.

• A Very Brady Sequel: After Roy/Trevor ate the spaghetti that Alice made for him, he finds out the one of the ingredients were the "mushrooms" from his room. This caused Roy/Trevor to hallucinate a trippy animated sequence set to Oliver (singer)'s "Good Morning Starshine".
  Roy/Trevor: "My room? My mushrooms? Oh, no."
  Carol: "Roy? Is something wrong? Roy?"
  [Roy/Trevor then sees flowers popping out of Carol's dress.]
  Roy/Trevor: "Oh my god... I'm tripping with the Bradys!"

• Degrassi: The Next Generation: The season 2 episode "Take My Breath Away" opens up with Manny having a sudden fantasy of Craig singing a love song to her while she wears a silver diamond-covered ball gown.
• The middle instrumental section of "Mickey Mouse March" in the original The Mickey Mouse Club is comprised of floating marching band instruments and dancing musical notes.
• Scoop: Starting from the second season, whenever Hacker heard a catchy beat, he’d immediately travel to his “happy place”, cuing a Stock Footage musical number about how great Hacker is, complete with dancing girls and Digby having a Gratuitous Rap segment.
• Yellowjackets: In "Burial" the adult Misty reluctantly gets inside a sensory-deprivation tank as part of a therapeutic treatment. It takes her about 7 seconds inside it for her mind to go into a full-blown musical number starring John Cameron Mitchell as her parrot.

• The video for "The Perfect Drug" by Nine Inch Nails shows everything in blue-tinted monochrome, except for one green drink of absinthe. The ensuing trip switches to a green tint.
• The Weeknd in "Blinding Lights" depicts himself as the psychotic guy who has a hallucinating joyride as he hits the road in overdrive and Drives Like Crazy around late at night from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, speeding in his grey Mercedes-AMG GT convertible.
• Ur-Example in music: the Tone Poem Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz ends with a mad artist's non-fatal opium fantasy about a Witches' Sabbath, illustrated with proto-psychedelic music.

• The Muppets:
  • The Great Muppet Caper has Miss Piggy fantasize about being the center of an underwater ballet, in which the film's villain sings-except after returning to reality and learning what's Beneath the Mask of the villain, she scornfully tells him, "You know what? You can't even sing! Your voice was dubbed!" Then again, the film had No Fourth Wall whatsoever, and she was under considerable emotional duress at the time.
  • "Cabin Fever", a musical number in which the entire cast of Muppet Treasure Island comes down with Ocean Madness. Lampshaded when the only character who mentions it is treated as being crazy.
• Sesame Street:
  • There are also raps about the number six and all subsequent odd numbers, one of which, 7, is among the video examples.
  • "The Lost Kid and the Yo-Yo Man", featuring a boy who rides his bike into a very trippy scene, almost like much of Porky in Wackyland or the last part of The Cat that Hated People and meets a stranger who bounces a yoyo, morphs into the strange landmarks the boy has passed, and finally gives him a riddling bit of advice, "Try to remember everything you passed/But when you go back, make the first thing the last."
  • "In Your Imagination", a musical number where Elmo shows all the places one can be if they just imagine it.
  • "Mystic Twenty", a classic and trippy animation short from Sesame Street's third broadcast season, in which an Indian guru counts from 1 to 20 on his four arms, accompanied by sitar music and a lot of psychedelic visuals.
• Fraggle Rock:
  • Boober and Wembley have a bizarre Imagine Spotting sequence in the episode "Pebble Pox Blues" in which Boober warns Wembley about "the greatest evil the world has ever known" with the song "Talkin' Bout Germs." As he sings, monstrous, spiky germs begin flying about, darting at the two terrified Fraggles.
  Boober: [singing] You know their name is contagious.
  Their number's outrageous.
  They're wriggling and raging like worms.
  And it wiggles and squirms!
  Wembley: Wiggles and squirms?
  Boober: I'm talkin' 'bout germs!
  • "Wembley and the Mean Genie" has The Genie's Rotten Rock & Roll song, "Do You Want It?", where he hypnotizes all the Fraggles but Wembley, turns them into a mindless army wearing identical clothes and standing with arms directed to the sides (which resembles a totalitarian regime), and slow-mo destroys an entire Doozer construct, with sparks flying.
• Donkey Hodie:
  • “Dancing Under The Golden Rainbow" from "The Golden Crunchdoodles" takes place on a yellow background for the entire duration of the song, rather than the backgrounds that are usually seen in the show. Not helping matters is that this sequence occurs right after a scene depicting Donkey and Panda with tired eyes.
  • "Too Many Pandas" from "Panda Panda" features a purple background featuring silhouettes and puppets of many Pandas.
  • Part of the end song in "The Golden Crunchdoodles Return" counts as this. Like "Dancing Under The Golden Rainbow", much of the song takes place on a golden background.
  • Part of the lullaby Donkey sings in "Ruff Night" takes place in a night sky with Donkey, Bob, and Panda's sleeping bags floating in the air.

• Jerome Robbins' comic ballet The Concert is All Just a Dream anyway (more precisely, people daydreaming to music), but the end features all of the characters morphing into butterflies and being chased off the stage by the increasingly irritated pianist.
• "Spooky Mormon Hell Dream" from The Book of Mormon, which features appearances by the spirits of Genghis Khan, Jeffrey Dahmer, Adolf Hitler and Johnnie Cochran, along with Starbucks cups and bizarrely dancing demons.
• End section of "Expressing Yourself" from Billy Elliot the Musical, which features giant dancing dresses, of Michael's creation.
• A Midsummer Night's Dream: The undoing of the love spell involves a surreal puppet dance.
• The Addams Family: musical had a ballet in which Uncle Fester dances with the moon. It's never mentioned before that, and since the rest of the musical is staged pretty realistically, the Sequence that is Fester dancing with the moon seems thrown in just to show off.
• The Musical Screen-to-Stage Adaptation of Mrs. Doubtfire has "You've Created A Monster", in which Daniel is tormented by a horde of Mrs. Doubtfire clone zombies.
• Oklahoma! has this both for traditional productions and the Darker and Edgier 2019 revival.
  • The traditional dream ballet starts out normal enough as Laurey and Curly happily dance and are to be wed, then takes an abrupt turn into nightmare territory when Jud appears and takes control of the dreamscape as burlesque dancers appear and force Laurey into joining their number. Then dream-Jud kills dream-Curly during a fight, with the 1955 movie adaptation adding an even more surreal tone by having their fight take place in a tornado and Jud not reacting to gunshots at all before closing in on Curly.
  • The 2019 revival of the show portrayed the dream ballet with a single dancer who represented Laurey's self-consciousness and intimacy, and fled as cowboy boots fell from the sky while Jud swept them offstage, with electric guitars heard nowhere else on the soundtrack to emphasize the feeling of being out-of-place.

• "Dreamin'" from the April 2004 Chuck E. Cheese show, a live-action/animated lip-dub video as Chuck E. sings about all the fun dreams he has when he goes to sleep, complete with trippy visuals.
• In the E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios, the ending celebration sequence on the Green Planet sports very trippy-colors and features some quite unusual-looking creatures, including one alien that looks like a mushroom.

• Aladdin (Capcom) replaces the "Friend Like Me" sequence with something that might be even trippier, featuring a cloud landscape dotted with Genie faced balloons, pots with bird wings and feet, giant Genie heads with stretched-out tongues you use as platforms, and random mini tornadoes.
• Haven (2020) opens with a psychedelic hand-drawn/painted animation sequence of the protagonists.
• The Journeyman Project Turbo shows time travel as a sequence of drifting through rings and geometric shapes, accompanied by hard rock music and sound clips that Agent 5 already heard in the present. This is the only game in the series where this happens, though. Pegasus Prime replaces it with a multicolored wormhole, and the 2nd and 3rd games just show flybys of the time zones you're heading to.
• Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge: Guybrush suffers one in which the skeletons of his parents dance and sing to a jaunty xylophone rendition of "Dem Bones".
• Psychonauts 2: Near the end of "PSI King's Sensorium", Raz reunites the members of PSI King's band for a performance. As PSI King regains his memories of being Helmut Fullbear of the Psychic Six, one of the founding members of the Psychonauts, he sings a trippy psychedelic rock musical number called "Cosmic I (Smell The Universe)".
• Ratchet & Clank: We've got Obani Draco in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, which happens to be the home of a sadistic pop star who directly works for the Big Bad as his dragon. What makes it an acid sequence is that it's almost completely dark pink, contains a giant disco ball, has a torture chamber and all of its residents are evil.
• Stardew Valley:
  • In Emily's 6-heart event, she shows you a dance number that gradually turns into a full-screen display of rainbows, pearl strings, and random floating symbols for about a minute.
  • The Mermaid's song performance is a similarly colorful and trippy show of waves, fish, and floating mermaids.
• The Third Super Robot Wars Z: Tengoku-Hen has Basara Nekki, the VF-19 Kai Fire, and his band Fire Bomber regain access to the song "DYNAMITE EXPLOSION" after they lost it in the previous chapter, Jigoku-Hen. When used to debuff an enemy (or damage them outright if they are Made of Evil or particularly emotionless), this song produces one of these in the form of an animated Continuity Cavalcade referencing the original Macross 7'' anime.

• Without exception, all animation done by YouTuber Cyriak qualifies for this trope. See particularly the "Cows and Cows and Cows" Video, where you get cows that morph into Eldritch Abominations through the dark arts of Adobe After Effects. Heck, any of Cyriak's videos has heaping doses of terrifying Mind Screw-flavored eldritch beasts set in completely Etscheresque surreal landscapes that looks like it was created while he was high on something.
• Fazbear and Friends (ZAMination): In "Bonnie BROKE His Guitar!?" Freddy sings a song to Bonnie about the color he wants to choose for his new guitar, in addition to telling her not only to think of a single color but also of others, all this while they tour a place where colors they combine during the song.
• Helluva Boss: The Truth-Serum-induced Mushroom Samba, in the episode "Truth Seekers", pulls out all the stops in both mind screwery and bizarre non-standard animation, whether it's the exaggeratedly fluid musical number for Moxxie or the deeply philosophical and introspective clusterfuck for Blitzo.
• Lackadaisy: It begins on Lackadaisy's doors opening to reveal its empty stage, with the curtain rising on violinist Rocky performing a glittery, golden, lavishly staged Disney Acid Sequence, eventually revealed as his Daydream Surprise while neglecting lookout duties on a bridge. It ends with the band beginning to play as Lackadaisy's owner Mitzi shuts her eyes, envisions her husband's hand on her shoulder, then opens them to reveal they've filled with stars. A wash of glitter reveals her gold-hued fantasy of the stage and speakeasy filled with people, and the camera pulls out until the speakeasy doors shut.

• Daniel Thrasher: "Shiny Object Syndrome" involves multiple Daniels dancing and singing in a colorful, trippy world, changing locations rapidly. It ends on what could be described as an attempted hypnosis sequence, with a spiraling background and repetitive lyrics.
• Don't Hug Me I'm Scared:
  • The very first episode revolves around a living sketchpad singing a song about being creative, which leads to a bizarre and disturbing "creativity explosion".
  • The job episode from the TV series has the elevator robot sing a rather bizarre song to Duck about dealing with stress. The robot drags Duck into her programming, turning him into a vector drawing with minimalist details.
• The Nostalgia Critic:
  • He does one of these in his review for Junior. In the middle of the review, he falls asleep and has a bizarre dream sequence while singing a song about how boring the movie is.
  • He also does one at the end of his review for Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer where he sings rather psychotically about how he "Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu-Fucking Loves Christmas".

• The Angry Beavers had one of these in "Bummer of Love", where Norbert meets Treeflower at a Woodstock-like rock concert, and the two sing a psychedelic love song called I Think I Like You.
• Animaniacs: In the "Up A Tree" segment, during Rita's first musical number, she goes into a very minor Disney Acid Sequence about the advantages of Chicago as they appear onscreen.
• In Animated Tales of the World, there was a song segment in the Chinese story The Magic Paintbrush where a young boy, who could paint images that come to life, was riding on a dragon while painting images that came to life.
• Big City Greens:
  • "Green Christmas": The last third or so of "Good Deeds Are Good Indeed" turns into one, as Cricket, suddenly in vaudeville-style attire, is backed up by a bunch of singing and dancing presents.
  • "Time Crisis": Remy has a neon-colored nightmare/stress-induced hallucination where giant violins assault him while a voice sings about how he's screwed up his life forever, until the King Of Violins catches him and throws him into the Sea Of Failure. Fortunately, at that point Cricket snaps him out of it.
• Blaze and the Monster Machines started using trippy visuals for its music video sequences since Season 4, starting with "Robot Power". A straight-up example would be the "Gears" song in "Babysitting Heroes", which has Blaze, Stripes, AJ and the animals running across oversized gears.
• Bob's Burgers:
  • In "Art Crawl", we get a glimpse at one of the crazy nightmares Linda was having about Gayle's animal anus paintings, which is a parody of the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence from Dumbo.
  • "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal" has Bob getting bombed on absinthe and having a My Neighbor Totoro-based fantasy.
• Cars on the Road: The "TRUCKS" song in Episode 6 features bizarre visuals such as trucks driving on rainbows, slotting into each other like nesting dolls, and lineart models.
• The MGM short "The Cat that Hated People" involves the eponymous cat going to the moon to get away from humans, and when he gets there it gets really trippy.
• Daffy Duck and Porky Pig Meet the Groovie Goolies has a very trippy sequence called 'Mad Mirror Land' wherein the three lead Goolies pursue the Big Bad into the real world, at least in some respects. Things actually become MORE cartoon-like when in the real world.
• "Der Fuehrer's Face" has one, set to the title song going faster and faster while, among other things, ammunition flies around and Donald has to make himself into a swastika shape by dancing. Luckily, it was All Just a Dream.
• Dr. Seuss:
  • The 1977 special Halloween Is Grinch Night has the Grinch's Paraphernalia Wagon full of screaming heads, disembodied giant legs, and other horrors who chase Euchariah through Escherian architecture.
  • There is an acid sequence towards the end of The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat, courtesy of the Grinch. This acid trip was played on the Cat while some very unfitting and wild Dixieland music played.
• Family Guy: The episode where Brian takes care of a cranky old lady named Pearl who has not been out of her house for 30 years and sings a song called "You've Got A Lot To See" which is about all the things Pearl still has to see that has happened in the world - the scenery changes constantly through the song, though it isn't all that "trippy" really.
• The Cattanooga Cats sometimes went pretty trippy during the Cats' musical numbers, particularly "I Wish I Was a Fire" and "Hoot Hoot Owl" (the latter has cut-out animation sequences, a major departure from usual HB work).
• The Jetsons episode "A Date with Jet Screamer". When Jet Screamer sings "Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah", the scenery goes mad. Among other things we see Screamer and his trio of female backup singers on flying discs, the words "Eep Opp Ork Ah Ah" appears several times on the screen, Jet and Judy travel in a space car and meet a "funny man in outer space" (a green-faced man suspended in space with a top hat), and disembodied gloved hands playing strings and music without instruments.
• Hazbin Hotel: The episode "Hell's Greatest Dad" has Lucifer singing about his willingness to help Charlie as only a loving father would, the whole thing is done using magic that borders on Toon Physics similar to "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin. The song itself transitions into a Quarreling Song when Alastor butts in and starts competing with Lucifer over the role of "father figure."
• Jay Jay the Jet Plane: Slightly varied in "Color Me a Rainbow" from "Snuffy's Rainbow" the sky changes colors depending which is named off. A rainbow also shines behind Jay Jay and Snuffy and follows their direction.
• The Lion Guard: The hyenas' Villain Song "Tonight We Strike" shows the hyenas coloured blue and contains some weird scenes, like the hyenas leaping through the air with spotlights coming from nowhere shining on them.
• Littlest Pet Shop (2012) is full of these due to the way the series handles its musical sequences, but the one that takes the cake is "Humanarian" from "What Did You Say?." It involves Blythe getting sick and the other pets aggressively confronting Russell about what to do with her, only it does so in a surreal 80's-style music video, bright neon colors, and the accompanying weird special effects common during its time. Unlike a typical Disney Acid Sequence, however, Russell is aware of it (to a limited extent), and he becomes frustrated for a brief moment after it's over.
• Little Princess has a opening sequence that is completely abstract and surreal, with only Princess and her toys swirling around in a blue background, and only has one single line of lyrics repeated through the whole opening.
• The Loud House: The Doo Dads' first jam session with Luna in "Dad Reputation" is presented in such a way, having just the members' color-coded outlines over an ultraviolet field, as waves radiate out from them as they are jamming.
• MechaNick: "Board Stupid" has Nick’s “Where There’s A Wheel, There’s A Way” number, which involves numerous 2D-animated vehicles spinning against a light purple background.
• Metalocalypse: Any time that Toki Wartooth decides to sing a solo, this is guaranteed to happen. So far we have:
  • "Underwater Friends", an Octopus' Garden-esque sequence where he sings to the fishes surrounding him in his immersion tank.
  • "No More Hamburger Time" a song sung to his dead cat that starts out surprisingly heartfelt...and then quickly devolves into madness when the rest of the band joins in.
  • "I am Toki", an autotuned song sung as Toki goes to meet his Internet lifemate. The dream sequence includes Toki transforming into a knight to rescue a hot princess in a castle from a giant green dragon who bleeds Lucky Charms marshmallows. And then there's a wedding where the minister and all the guests are rabbits. This does not happen.
  • Similarly, a Littlest Cancer Patient fan who wants to meet Toki sends him a DVD of her singing a sweet song about wanting to be brutal - it segues into her and Toki singing and flying together, backed up by a chorus of candy-colored Eldritch Abominations.
• Moonshadow, a cartoon based on a children's book by Cat Stevens, has the title track, one of his most famous songs, set upon the bizarre adventures of Teaser and the Firecat riding on the moon.
• My Little Pony:
  • My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle: "Call Upon the Sea Ponies" is distinctly happening in real time — the Sea Ponies are helping Megan and Applejack get back to the surface of the lake — although it's still trippy.
  • My Little Pony 'n Friends:
    • "Imagine You Were Friends" from "The End Of Flutter Valley, Part 9”. The art style goes from "somewhat refined even with animation errors" to "this looks like it was drawn by a four-year old".
    • "The Ghost of Paradise Estate, Part 2": The scene where the ghost chases the characters out of the house involves some very bizarre visuals, including a ghostly wall seizing a pony in its mouth, the specter taking on horrifying shapes as it chases the characters around, and a shot of moving, colorful shapes with no evident relation to anything else.
• Paper Port: One episode called “The Secret Life Of Trees” has the titular group of sentient trees performing a song for Mr. Ferguson. The episode shifts into a musical sequence where the trees (inexplicably dressed like various musicians) play and sing in front of a technicolor background, and shift genre from ‘60s hippie rock to rap to guitar-shredding death metal over the span of three verses.
• Phineas and Ferb:
  • In "The Ballad of Badbeard", Candace has a Mushroom Samba with moss, so basically almost every scene with her in that episode was her hallucinating.
    Candace, during an otherwise entirely unrelated musical number: Why do my nostrils whisper to me?
  • "Robot Rodeo" has "Izzy's Got the Frizzies", an out-of-nowhere R&B tune that appears at the end of the episode, starring Isabella with frizzy hair dancing her absolute heart out.
  She's gonna be a big sensation
  Izzy's got the frizzies
  (Izzy's... Izzy's got the frizzies)
  Cos she's sportin' major kinkification
  Izzy's got the frizzies
  (Izzy's... Izzy's got the frizzies)
  And now she's gonna tell you how
  Izzy's got the frizzies
  Isabella: It's because of the humidity.
  • Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension has one as well, maybe more than one, considering how you view them. The song 'Brand New Reality' quickly degenerates into this trope as the song reaches the end and the alternate realities Phineas and the gang pass through get more and more surreal.
• One episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show involves Stimpy getting sucked inside his own belly-button, accompanied by a sequence with trippy images and an acid-rock influenced song.
• The "Goodbye Moonmen" sequence in Rick and Morty, where a sentient gas cloud named Fart sings to Morty in a David Bowie-esque voice with odd visuals and CallBacks to other episodes.
• The Simpsons: A number of extended musical dream sequences definitely qualify, for instance Homer in the Land of Chocolate in "Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk", Lisa's laughing gas-induced Purple Submersible hallucination in "Last Exit to Springfield" and the hauntingly poetic "Little Nemo" homage an overworked Homer drops into when he falls asleep at the wheel in "Lisa's Pony".
• In the SpongeBob SquarePants "Jellyfish Jam", SpongeBob and the jellyfish have an extended sequence consisting of various multicolored shots of them dancing as well as multiple alternating flashing surreal images.
• Tiny Toon Adventures:
  • In the episode "It's Never Too Late to Loon", Plucky Duck had to study hard for a math test the following day, and he begs Shirley the Loon to use her psychic powers to let him channel the intellect of Albert Einstein. What follows is a scene reminiscent of the "Pink Elephants on Parade" sequence from Dumbo, complete with several Einsteins running around the screen until they collide with each other and explode, doing a waltz, squirting water like a fountain, before finally turning into cars that drive around for a while until they explode again, ending the dream and causing Plucky to wake up dressed like Einstein.
    Albert Einstein, Albert Einstein
    MC squared, MC squared
    Relatively thinking, he just stands there thinking
    MC squared, MC squared, MC squared, MC squared...
  • Another episode had a spoof of "It's a Small World" titled "Elmyra's Round the World," where Buster dreams about being chased around the world by various Elmyras.
• Total Drama: "Versus"—the active contestants become solidly colored except for outlines and haul around truck-sized logs and pineapples, while Heather and Alejandro turn into giant volcano deities, all to a purple hibiscus-pattern background.
• VeggieTales in the House: The episode "Bob's Bad Breath" has "The Tooth Song" which contains visual effects of the food items Larry is digesting while at home alone.
• Wander over Yonder: The song "Inside Your Mind" from the episode "The Void" definitely qualifies, due to said void being able to make Wander's imagination real. Multiple technicolor Wanders singing in harmony while each playing different instruments are just the beginning.

  Make up stuff that you wanna see
  Like a psychedelic bumblebee
  Do some things you wanna try
  Like flyin' up in the sky
  When you take a step inside your mind!

• Zig & Sharko: "Disco in The Dark" has three entrancing Disney Acid Sequences with short, but equally great, songs. The second song in particular features Marina and Zig dancing in a Electro Swing-esque theme with trippy visuals.
