* ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'': "[[Recap/MickeyMouseS1E2Yodelberg Yodelberg]]" takes place in the German Alps, where Mickey wants to visit Minnie's mountaintop house, but quickly realizes that he might encounter an avalanche along the way. Of course, all throughout the short, he has to carefully maneuver around a variety of things that could set one off, like a forest full of cuckoo clocks, a BurpingContest, and an angry [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti abominable snowman]] whom Mickey has to warn to keep quiet. He does make it to Minnie's house in the end, but the door being blown shut ''does'' end up causing an avalanche, though it's the yeti who gets buried.

Note that, contrary to popular myth, this does not happen in RealLife -- the pressure caused by even very loud sounds is far too small to cause an avalanche.

* ''Animation/KikoRiki'':
** In the episode "Great News", as Krash, Chiko and Wally climb up the mountain, the former two talk to each other about the dangerous adventure. [[{{Keet}} Krash is very excited about it]], but Chiko snaps and yells at his friend that not everyone likes it as much as Krash does, triggering one.
** In "Add Snow, Subtract a Fir Tree", Krash and Chiko decide to find a big Christmas Tree on the mountains, with its size compensating for a surprising lack of snow elsewhere. When Krash finds one and tries to chop it off with an axe, he accidentally triggers a huge avalanche, which floods the valley and finally brings a lot of snow to it, but leaves Krash with a small fir tree.
** "No Mercy" from ''New Adventures'' spin-off: After Krash's attempt to surprise his friends with beautiful fireworks goes awry and causes a destruction, [[ThisIsUnforgivable thinking that his friends won't forgive him for this]], he and Chiko decide to escape. He realizes that he forgot his toy railroad at home and cries out in grief so loudly, he triggers an avalanche that floods him and Chiko.
* Played with in the winter episode of ''Animation/NuPogodi''. After Wolf is foiled by Hare once again, he bellows, "[[SayMyName HAAAAAAAAAAREE!!!]]" at the top of his lungs. Echoes rock the mountaintops... then about a handful of snow falls onto Wolf's head. Intimidated, he says it again in a normal tone. There's an ominous rumble, and he's covered by some more snow. He shrugs it off and whispers, "Hare!". [[TheLastStraw Naturally]], this triggers a full-scale avalanche.
