The Aristocats: While Madame Bonfamille meets with her friend and lawyer Georges Hautecourt, Berlioz cranks a phonograph that's playing a recording of "Habanera". She remembers Carmen being her favorite role from her days in the opera.
Up: The first sequence taking place in the present day has "Habanera" play during a montage of Carl starting his day, showing how how lonely and dull his life has become since losing Ellie.
Arthur: In "Lights, Camera, Opera!", Muffy's father gets tickets to Carmen and asks her to come with him to see it. At one point, she has a dream where she plays Carmen, and she and her friends sing most of their lines to the tune of several of the opera's melodies.
Family Guy: In "Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows", Brian watches a documentary and learns that Pearl, the reclusive old woman he's being forced to take care of, used to be a popular singer of commercial jingles. She sings a rendition of "Habanera" (which Brian calls the most beautiful thing he's ever heard) during her failed attempt at launching a career in legitimate theater.
Hey Arnold!: The opera is one of several to be spoofed in "What's Opera, Arnold?".
Silly Symphonies: The 1929 short El Terrible Toreador is a parody of the opera, and the score incorporates several of its melodies.
The Simpsons: In "Bart the Genius", Marge tries to stimulate Bart's "genius" by taking the family to a production of Carmen. The others quickly get bored, so Bart makes up his own lyrics to the second section of the overture.
Tor-e-a-dor
Oh, don't spit on the floor
Use the cuspidor
That's what it's for
Tom and Jerry: The 1962 short Carmen Get It! has Tom chasing Jerry into (and trying to infiltrate) a theater that's putting on a performance of Carmen.
