Breaking the Fourth Wall

Breaking the fourth wall is a comedy device used in fictional stories in which a character acknowledges the fact they are a character in a movie or television show, and are actually aware of being such. The character will often look at the viewers and say something directly to them. Listed here are scenes in Disney movies and television shows where such characters break the fourth wall.

Cartoon shorts

 * Mickey's Amateurs - At the very end of the short, when Donald finishes reciting "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", the iris-out suddenly shuts around his neck, and he pulls it open to get himself unstuck.
 * Get A Horse! - Most of the short revolves around Mickey and company being shot out of the screen and interacting with the screen itself.
 * Roller Coaster Rabbit - While Roger Rabbit was riding the roller coaster, he almost went out of the film.

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Tigger Movie and Winnie the Pooh (2011)

 * The characters often speak to the Narrator and use the book as part of the scenery (such as when Tigger used the book to get out of the tree).

 * While Basil expressed his acknowledgement of Dr. Dawson, he whispers something to Olivia, who then looks at the audience in either confusion or shock.

Aladdin

 * The Peddler greets the audience and tells them to come closer which resulted in the camera hitting his face.

He then begins to tell the story of how the lamp "changed the course of a young man's life."
 * Genie brings out a script for Aladdin and whispers, "You're line is: 'I'm going to free the genie,'" and it happens again when Genie calls Jafar "a tall, dark and sinister ugly man."
 * At the end of the film, Genie lifts up the screen.

The Lion King

 * At one part of the song "Hakuna Matata", Pumbaa almost said that every time he "farted," but Timon cuts him off, warning Pumbaa, "Not in front of the kids!" (referencing the audience [or unseen animal kids] and Simba).

The Wild

 * At the end of the film, Kazar pops his head through the iris-out, which chokes him. Nigel then shoves him away and apologizes to the audience, telling them to carry on.

The Muppets

Otherwise I would've bored half the audience half to death." Statler retorts, "You mean half the audience is still alive?"
 * Gary often makes references to some of the musical numbers he sung in earlier scenes.
 * When Kermit shakes his head and says there's no way they can raise the money to save the theater, Mary sadly observes, "This is going to be a very short movie." This is somewhat a callback to a joke Kermit made to Mr. Tarkanian in The Great Muppet Caper.
