* As ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' begins, the film states that it was approved by [[UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode The Comics Code Authority]], a CensorshipBureau that the Spider-Man franchise had famously humiliated in the 70s. Needless to say, much of the film's content would not pass CCA restrictions. [[note]]Including but not limited to: causing the audience to feel any sympathy toward a villain, having the villain brutally kill a hero, having the hero divorce his wife, and profanity.[[/note]]

Dreamworks has done a lot of it onto Disney. (It's even in the name.)

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' virtually ''everything in the movie'' is a giant TakeThat to the Disney Corporation, right down to the main villain's facial features being a caricature of Michael Eisner's. His name sounds like "fuckwad," which is apparently the filmmakers' opinion on Eisner as well. Even the theme music that plays when they enter Lord Farquaad's castle is a parody of "It's A Small World After All".

* This conversation from ''WesternAnimation/Cars2'': [[note]]For those not in the know, this is a jab at the critics who say that the eyes on the cars should be on their headlights like most cartoons with anthropomorphic cars, not their front windows. Pixar has stated the reason why is because putting them on the windows makes them look nice and appealing, while putting the eyes on their headlights (at least in CGI) looks [[UnintentionalUncannyValley off-putting and creepy]].[[/note]]
