The piece was played on a piano by Mickey Mouse in the 1929 short The Opry House, which marked the first time it was heard in an animated film. It is one of several musical pieces featured in "Farmyard Symphony". The piece was also heard in the climax of the 1953 True-Life Adventure featurette Water Birds, as arranged by Paul Smith. It was also featured in the 1969 short film It's Tough to Be a Bird. A portion of this piece was also made into a music video on the Disney Channel show DTV, and set to footage of Bone Trouble.
In the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, most likely as a tribute to its status as a staple of cartoon scores, the piece is played by Donald Duck and Daffy Duck as part of a "dueling pianos" stage act at The Ink and Paint Club. It is one of several musical pieces used in a trailer for Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers. It is also played in the Remember... Dreams Come True fireworks show at Disneyland and also played briefly in the Europe section of the short-lived Disney's ImagiNations Parade at Disneyland Paris. It is one of several musical pieces featured in the 2014 video game Fantasia: Music Evolved.
In Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin (at Mickey's Toontown/Toontown in Disneyland/Tokyo Disneyland), on a queue, Donald played a song on a piano as a reference the movie; and as a recurring theme throughout various scenes of the ride.
