Top 20 Disney Movies That Break the Fourth Wall

[@trinaq]

I always loved "The Lion King 1 and a half", and Timon and Pumba's running commentary on already seen moments.

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Yes me too

[@allison3852]

​I never saw that one so I don't know

[@BG-be8di]

yeah, for me, that was the best movie that best broke the fourt wall and so well, even Timon and Pumba themselves react to the movie like us the spectators.

[@josephharrison5639]

Yeah how did that whole Movie not make this list

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

@@allison3852 I'd honestly recommend it! It even gives some of Timone's backstory! If you have Disney +, it's on there. And the "real" reason why everyone bowed before Simba, lol. (I won't post why because spoilers, but if you know the two and their humor, well...Take a guess, lol)

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Whether it's Kuzco's narrations, or Yzma and Kronk following the dotted line, the 4th wall breaks are just one reason why _The Emperor's New Groove_ is one of the most hilarious Disney Movies ever.

[@sessionshannah]

I agree😂😂😂😂

[@marlonclark1896]

yep

[@mirandagoldstine8548]

I fully agree.

[@ellynmacgregor8210]

Certainly one of my favorites, and I agree with whatever film critic said (not exact quote, here): TENG is what might have happened if the guys from Termite Terrace had made a Disney feature." ("Termite Terrace" is the affectionate (I hope) nickname the animators at WB [e.g., Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, etc.] gave their workplace.) 😄😄😄

[@niana1975]

When the movie first came out for DVD and VHS, whenever my family decide to rent a movie from a nearby video rental place(not Bluckbuster before they went out of business), I continued to get the Emperor’s New Grove because of how funny the movie is and considering it was my very first movie with David Spade, my parents and sisters would be annoyed I wanted to rent the movie again. A favorite memory.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Everyone loves a good fourth wall break! Especially if it's in an animated Disney movie, In fact the 4th wall breaking scenes are some of the most iconic moments in these particular films!!!

[@chasehedges6775]

Yep

[@BG-be8di]

I love it when break the fourth wall in the movies, it feels a lot like the viewers are talking to us...

[@sefayldrm-gy7fh]

The matter is that Amazon came up with *GPT44X* and now everyone flippin out? Wtf seriously what did the guys imagine would happen? Obviously it can only go to the next level from this and I want to be one of the first to be there when it all happens. I don't know about you guys but this is a one in a lifetime journey for all of us and I'm just happy to be part of it

[@signergirl1]

I’m sorry but what does this comment have to do with this video?

[@anicapreston3198]

​@@signergirl1absolutely nothing. They just wanted attention. The more people react and comment about wtf this has to do with anything the further up the list this comment goes 🤦

[@olleselin]

I never thought about the 4th wall breaks when i watched "The Emperor's New Groove" as a kid. But now ,i totally get it and find it hilarious😂😂😂

[@krististarosta6736]

Same here!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@debbieellett9093]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Seriously, that's what the movie is all about. I guess you're pretty young

[@marlonclark1896]

when i was a kid i was often confused by all the fourth wall breaks i used to always wonder why Kuzco was talking to himself or why Yzma and Kronk were looking at the dotted lines

[@jaygooese4242]

Don't forget Bartok the Magnificent which is owned by Disney now that he also breaks the fourth wall

[@אלימלכה-ג7ח]

It was so obvious that 'The Emperor's New Groove' will be the first on this list. This movie is so funny (and underrated) great video!

[@andreasmeelie1889]

So obvious that I'm super shocked that I didn't think of it! Lol

[@DeePrime2410]

Fourth wall jokes never get old. 🤣

[@alicankatan]

What is everyone thinking now that Amazon put up the *GPT44X* for everyone? Was rumored for a while but I didn't think they would rly do so

[@Chibi578]

How about in the George of the Jungle movies? They were breaking the fourth wall as well!

[@ellynmacgregor8210]

Exactly! I posted something to that effect before I read your post. I think the reason they got left out is that they're not animated (although they were based on a cartoon series from the wonderful folks at Jay Ward Productions).

[@BrandonKohout]

Not only Eugene narrates the story in Tangled, but Rapunzel at the end also. Trust me.

[@BG-be8di]

I love it when in the movies the characters break the 4th wall, like addressing themselves in front of us.. Although for me the movie that best broke the 4th wall was The Lion King 1 1/2, oh yeah: their jokes, comments, and their reactions to the movie itself, just like us the viewers.. Also: The Lion King, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Zootopia and the Aristocats.. and really in Snowhite the Evil queen broke the 4rth wall? I didn't realize much

[@ellynmacgregor8210]

Yeah...IMO, to call the scene with the Wicked Queen a 4th Wall break is a bit of a stretch. Talking to the audience--though really talking to oneself--is a time-honored custom that goes back at least as far as Shakespeare. When Hamlet delivers his iconic Soliloquy, does anybody seriously think HE'S breaking the 4th Wall?

[@chelseacanales8763]

KUZCO is the king of breaking the forth wall 😂😂😂 I love The Emperor New Groove

[@krististarosta6736]

They should call him King Kuzco. Ruler of 4th wall breaks.😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PintSizedStudios44]

Chowder: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be LEGENDARY!!

[@Omar-wq9dz]

I like when movies and tv go meta and break the fourth wall. I think that’s a reason I always liked Ferris Bueller and Malcolm In The Middle

[@andyhua9939]

I think Turning Red is another good Disney (and Pixar) movie that breaks the 4th wall, which involves Mei Lee talking directly to the audience about her life.

[@chasehedges6775]

The best Disney films know when to be aware of the audience.

[@JackiSmith66]

Mulan:"Nope!" Lion King:"Pumbaa not in front of the kids." Aaladin:"Made ya look."

[@RapFanatic4ever]

I always loved Pinocchio especially with Jimminy Cricket talking to the audience and the Queen from Snow White scared the shit out of me as a kid . Especially when she turned into the witch

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

These fourth wall breaks are pretty funny!

[@precious_muse]

I definitely would’ve added “The Sword and the Stone.” It has a little narration, but the best fourth wall break is at the very end. When Arthur becomes king, Merlin assures him he will become great and famous, and one day his story will become a motion picture. Arthur looks at him in confusion and says, “A motion picture?” Merlin replies, “That right, my boy. No commercials, of course.” The the “The End” title card runs, so it implies that this motion picture is what you just watched, and if you watched it in a theater, it probably had no commercials.

[@krististarosta6736]

Ok some of these 4th wall breaks were hilarious!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gastronautadf]

I was expecting #1 to be ENCANTO and it wasn't even on the list! I mean, Mirabel sings to the audience all the time!

[@BG-be8di]

Oh yeah, I think that yes

[@julieta8683]

My top 3 favorite 4th wall Disney movies are Pinocchio, The Emperor's New Groove and Aladdin 💕

[@ViewerOnline101]

Several of these are not or may not have been 4th wall breaks: #20) Flynn could have just been telling his and Rapunzel's story in general, not telling the us, but to the people in-universe. #19) The queen was likely just talking to herself and merely looking forward, it just looked like she was looking at the camera. #18) Wasn't Tarzan just looking back at the apes he had swung past? #17) Could Phoebus just been referring to the music in the church? #15) Mushu was likely just talking to himself and merely looking forward, it just looked like he was looking at the camera. #14) Sebastian and Ursula were likely just talking to themselves and merely looking forward, it just looked like they were looking at the camera. #13) Olivia was likely just looking forward and it just looked like she was looking at the camera. #12) Wasn't the croc looking at Peter and Wendy? #9) Can't explain the light, but Lilo and Stitch could have merely been looking forward, it just looked like they were looking at the camera. #8) That's not a 4th wall break, it was clever writing for us, not reality to in-universe. #5) Timon could have been referring to Simba and looking at him, he just used "kids" in general. Simba could have been just giving a confused look, it just looked like he was looking at the camera. SO really only 9 of these were actual 4th wall breaks.

[@laura-maejames3424]

I've always thought Timon was referring to Simon, I didn't even know it was kids, plural.

[@andrewmalinowski6673]

For "Hunchback" I'd lean more towards Clopin's opening line when he introduces the audience, with the Aladdin movies every time Genie's onscreen (at least in Robin William's moments) he easily breaks the fourth wall, and most of the "looking towards the camera" references could have just been meant to emphasize the shock on the characters' face

[@vissirion22]

Kronk is single-handedly the best villain sidekick. What’s not to love?

[@brb__bathroom]

Damn. He's so good, I didn't even consider him a villain, until now.....

[@DavidRichardson153]

His spinach puffs, maybe? Just kidding, that's the only way I eat spinach, and I'd like to try his.

[@andyhua9939]

I love it when my favorite characters break the 4th wall, especially when they talk directly to me.

[@joshiemanmcqueen9567]

The Lion King. - Pumbaa! Not in the front of the kids. Oh sorry. 13:44

[@jacksonsay37]

I never saw the line "Not in front of the kids" as a fourth wall break. I always thought "the kids" referred to Simba.

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Its definitely talking about the audience because Simba is only one, so why would it be plural?

[@BG-be8di]

well yes too, although with "kids" Timon also refers to the fact that the movie is also for kids

[@sonicfanboy3375]

He was talking about the audience because Simba is one "kid'

[@Rae0814]

Lilo and Stitch’s borderline 4th Wall Break is just adorable

[@OverlordZeroULTIMA]

Tbh, I feel like Lion King 1 1/2 was an even bigger wall breaker than LK. Because the whole thing is basically Timone and Pumbaa narrating the story, showing the movie, etc. Even the ending has all these Disney characters coming into "the theater" at the end, and they're rewinding it in order to play it for them. Idk if the ending is actually a wall break, but I still say 1 and 1/2 was a better wall break than the first Lion King.

[@davidslife989]

That was Robin Williams for you! ALWAYS a wall breaker when it matters.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Robin Williams was truly a great actor, he will be missed.

[@phantomrequim]

The Emperor's New Groove had the funniest Fourth Wall breaks.

[@brentprim1]

Alan-a-Dale introducing himself to the viewers by name in Robin Hood is my all-time favorite 4th-wall break!

[@jasontachin]

rw:oh i have many,but the 2 i love most of all "It's THE END" from ARISTOCATS and from Timon and Pumbaa from the lion king Pumbaa: Everytime that i! - 😩 Timon: Pumbaa! 😳,Not in front of the Kids😉 Pumbaa: Oh! Sorry 😊 *Simba Looks and Breaks the 4th wall too * Priceless ^_^

[@EmpressKenya832]

Cartoon Network breaks the fourth wall almost the same or more than Disney.😂😂 Breaking the fourth wall is always my favorite parts of the show that do it.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

[@BPJD2004]

Another set of fourth wall breaking comes from Disney's 1994 series Gargoyles, which has references to at least Star Wars and Bambi in the first episodes alone. I'm really sad that not many people talk about or even acknowledge that Gargoyles is a part of Disney.

[@eden.elizabeth]

[@jazieldelacruz5582]

As many times I really did watch Rapunzel & Mulan yet really funny and enjoy it, but still can catch it very equally close that are so interesting best full breaking the fourth wall. The lion king & The lion king 1/2 where timon and pumba breaks the 4th wall and are the protagonist👍👍👍🤣 The emperor's new groove 🤣🤣🤣 hilariously funny & confusing, but with Moana 🤔 getting good touch but yeah I'm not joking it was until her chicken scream of freaking shock wondering in the ocean with no land. [ Yeah P. S. Looks like I may turn around someday to watch Aladdin to understand and know the story very well and plus the live action film] It was in my childhood first time ever...🧸 films and his friends is the first time I ever watch a film with the 4th wall breaking, in the movie where Tigger convince to make Rabbit reason in having another Easter celebrating party again, going out from the book to return back pages in remembering good old memories of celebrating 🐰🐣.

[@olvialee7221]

193: The fourth wall break at the ending of The Aristocats creeped me out when I was little. It was years ago

Amazon's *GPT44X* is rewriting the rules and shaping the future. Don't miss out on this unparalleled opportunity to be a part of this transformative revolution.

[@patriciagerresheim2500]

Tamatoa also breaks the fourth wall when he asks the audience if they 'get it' after his line about 'get the hook'. This is a pun that most adults will get, harking back to a time when talent show acts would literally 'get the hook' (be pulled offstage by a stage-hand using a shepherd's crook or something similar) if the audience didn't like them.

[@halimeuzun769]

Nothing can stop Amazon and the *GPT44X* which is about time that they finally came to the conclusion. What you think?

[@JoeKellogg-n5m]

In one scene from Dora and Friends: Into the City when Dora, Pablo and Kate are asking the viewers why the sea serpent ducked down into the water and its all because of very loud noises and that which would explain that Kate accidentally popped her balloon sword which gives the pirates an idea on purpose and how the way getting the treasure chest back after the sea serpent would help Dora & Pablo take back the treasure that the pirates stole from them in the first place.

[@AdriR89]

[@olvialee7221]

196: From your videos of Disney anything, this is a first for Robin Hood to rank high

[@bandgeek89]

You're definitely using the fourth wall very loosely with some entries.

[@robertanthonyfairweather3416]

18:28 I know, right! And it was because of the lower-case, no-bracket captioning that made me think that breaking the fourth wall was a bad thing! Maybe...

[@andreasmeelie1889]

I always thought if the characters looked directly at the camera it's more to show the workers behind the scenes of the movies showing off how the characters are feeling in those particular moments. Unless, of course, they actually talk directly to the audience like with The Lion King, The Emperor's New Groove, and those post credits scenes like with Moana, Hercules, and Aladdin. But, who knows I could be wrong and it is pretty cool to know about if it's true. :) Though in Peter Pan I can most definitely tell that the Crocodile is looking right directly at us while going after Captain Hook! Lol:)

I’m not sure if this counts as a fourth wall break, but in the movie The Croods, Sandy and Belt do the ‘dun dun dun’ in front of the words ‘The End.’ Also, in Ever After High, Maddie Hatter can actually communicate with the narrators. (I know it’s not technically Disney, but still.)

[@盧璘壽로인수]

besides the BGM, in all probability *there was already a service of the Divine Office/Liturgy of the Hours underway after the Feast of Fools scene* ; proof of that is the soft choral BGM when Esmeralda enters the Cathedral for the first time and she was looking around, the Archdeacon lighting the candles while conversing with Esmeralda, & the "Christians" during "God Help the Outcasts" sequence

[@CarolHardesty]

As funny as fourth wall breaks are, I could've done without the one in "Tangled". I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Eugene's narration ruins the whole tone of the film. Also the ending narration makes it sound like he changed very little, if at all.
