Last night I watched some short videos of Disney's "Classic" Dumbo and came across the scene where Dumbo and Timothy get plastered and start hallucinating (Pink Elephants on Parade).
Apart from being quite surreal and freaky (possibly the best scene of the film IMO) I started thinking "Are there any other Disney films, or even kids films, where the main characters hallucinate?"

I can't think of any. Can any one else?

I don't know if it counts, but in "Home on the Range" where the cows are hypnotised there is a psychodelic scene in that, similar to the pink elephants thing. I don't know if they where hallucinating or not but it always reminds me of Dumbo xD

I remember as a very young kid that scene did freak me out a little. It would be interesting to re-watch some of the disney classics now. Probably get a completely different take on them.

One of the Winne the Pooh films features a scene where Pooh enters a mind state where he believes 'evil heffalumps' are stealing his Hunny. It's all done on a black background with super bright colours. It's freaky!

This was when Disney still made films to reflect the true story or fairytale. When they started dumbing them down, like with The Little Mermaid, they began to slowly lose their appeal.

Pinnocio was written to scare children, and teach them that telling lies is wrong and gets you into a lot of trouble. The film certainly achieved that!!

Oh, they dumbed down all of them. Try reading the old Brothers Grimm versions, you'll probably notice a few differences...

Disney's Fantasia is one big halucination from start to finish! :p
