During a viewing of Disney's animated film Cinderella (1950), one author (AI) noticed a dog having nightmares with dream-enactment that strongly resembled RBD. This prompted a study in which all Disney classic full-length animated films and shorts were analyzed for other examples of RBD. Three additional dogs were found with presumed RBD in the classic films Lady and the Tramp (1955) and The Fox and the Hound (1981), and in the short Pluto's Judgment Day (1935). These dogs were elderly males who would pant, whine, snuffle, howl, laugh, paddle, kick, and propel themselves while dreaming that they were chasing someone or running away. In Lady and the Tramp the dog was also losing both his sense of smell and his memory, two associated features of human RBD. These four films were released before RBD was first formally described in humans and dogs. In addition, systematic viewing of the Disney films identified a broad range of sleep disorders, including nightmares, sleepwalking, sleep related seizures, disruptive snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep disorder. These sleep disorders were inserted as comic elements. The inclusion of a broad range of accurately depicted sleep disorders in these films indicates that the Disney screenwriters were astute observers of sleep and its disorders.
在观看迪士尼动画电影《灰姑娘》（1950 年）时，一位作者（AI）注意到一只狗正在做噩梦，其梦境表现与快速眼动睡眠行为障碍（RBD）极为相似。这引发了一项研究，对所有迪士尼经典全长动画电影和短片进行分析，以寻找其他 RBD 的例子。在经典电影《小姐与流氓》（1955 年）、《狐狸与猎狗》（1981 年）以及短片《布鲁托的审判日》（1935 年）中又发现了另外三只疑似患有 RBD 的狗。这些狗都是老年雄性，它们在梦中追逐某人或逃跑时会气喘吁吁、哀鸣、抽鼻子、嚎叫、大笑、划水、踢腿并向前冲。在《小姐与流氓》中，这只狗还丧失了嗅觉和记忆，这是人类 RBD 的两个相关特征。这四部电影在 RBD 首次在人类和狗身上被正式描述之前就已发行。此外，对迪士尼电影的系统观看还发现了广泛的睡眠障碍，包括噩梦、梦游、睡眠相关癫痫、阻塞性打鼾、日间过度嗜睡、失眠和昼夜节律睡眠障碍。这些睡眠障碍被作为喜剧元素融入其中。这些电影中包含了广泛且准确描绘的睡眠障碍，这表明迪士尼编剧是睡眠及其障碍的敏锐观察者。
