Lampshade Hanging/Film/Animated Films

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Lampshades hung in animated film.


  • In Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical Adventure, Steve finally says "why don't I ever find the clues first?"
  • In Ratatouille, Remy the Rat finds out that he can control Linguini's actions by pulling on his hair like a puppeteer. When Remy experiments with this unlikely technique, Linguini notes with amusement, "That's strangely involuntary."
  • Looney Tunes Back in Action attempts to shrug off Product Placement by lampshading it. The heroes, lost in a desert, find a Wal-Mart, after which Daffy Duck proceeds to spout out half a dozen product names which he wants to buy, even remarking that he gets free drinks every time he says "Wal-Mart". One of the human characters remarks that "I think that at this point the viewers won't even notice anything abnormal in the scene."

Bugs Bunny: Nice of Wal-Mart to give us these Wal-Mart beverages in exchange for saying "Wal-Mart" so many times.

Rudy: The others! I almost forgot! Th-They're about to elect Yzma emperor!
Kronk: I never knew that was an elective office.

"You just watched a whole fucking movie!"
