Any non-Disney work adopting an art style that is typical of the Disney Animated Canon, for the purpose of an Homage, Affectionate Parody, or even a Take That!, to the Disney style.
Well, at least the stereotypical style is adopted. Regardless of the actual variety of the art in Disney films, many people think that all Disney films have the same general look, with traits such as:

Ken Muse's scenes in his earlier work for Tom and Jerry was very Disneyesque, he was a former Disney animator who left the studio after the strike and came to work at MGM.

The Simpsons:
A Valentine's Day Episode featured a Lady and the Tramp parody named "Shady and the Vamp". Although the characters were still drawn in the standard Simpsons style, the backgrounds were painted in the Disney style and the characters' lines were done in color.
Disney animator Eric Goldberg directed the Couch Gag for the episode "Fland Canyon", where the Simpsons appear as various Disney characters. Again, drawn in the Simpsons style, but with much smoother animation. It also depicts the wide variety of art styles within the Disney Animated Canon, with Maggie done in the Inkblot Cartoon Style of the early '30s and Homer as Baloo in the sketchy Xerox style of the 1960s and '70s.
The Simpsons Movie had a scene where Homer and Marge get ready for bed while in Alaska and some Disney esque animals help them, complete with a buck and a fawn that resemble Bambi and his father, the sequence was animated by former Disney animator John Pomeroy.

BioShock Infinite has a very localized instance of this regarding the design of Elizabeth. While she exists in the cynical world of Columbia and is depicted within the game's realistic art style, the game's developers explicitly took much inspiration from Disney princesses while creating her, sporting big, expressive blue eyes, a modest, yet adventurous personality similar to that of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and even starting out in an outfit similar to what Belle wears at the start of her movie. The same artists have even mentioned needing to tone down some of Elizabeth's animations as they feared they were starting to unintentionally rip off Rapunzel of Tangled (and given that Elizabeth is also a MacGuffin Super-Person whose life was defined by entrapment in a tower by an abusive foster parent/kidnapper, that wouldn't be the only similarity).

The character models of Feral Heart are heavily influenced by Disney's Funny Animal movies.
Likewise, its predecessor Impressive Title has its player characters modeled after the lions from The Lion King. In fact, it's not hard to recreate Simba, Nala, or Zira in the Character Customization menu, especially since some of the fur markings are directly pulled from the franchise, such as the Hyena's triangular spots and Zira's head stripe. And that's not mentioning the many, many hairstyles based off of Simba's and Kovu's manes.

CollegeHumor has done this a fair number of times:
"Colors of the Wind: Stoner Edition" (aka "Tokahontas").
"DuckTales (1987) Theme Gone Horribly Wrong!". And by "Gone Horribly Wrong", they mean it.
And "Pixar Logo Gone Horribly Wrong!" Again, they mean it.
Prince Harry as a Disney Prince casts the UK Royal Family's Prince Harry as a Disney Prince, with predictable results: he's a stereotypical bro or chav in all the roles. Most humorously, he gets along with Gaston just swimmingly.
"Aladdin's Mistake". At the end of Aladdin, Aladdin wishes for Genie to become human (not free), and he also does this just as Genie comes out of the lamp. As a result, Genie becomes a helpless mutant with a death wish.

Used in Enchanted, which opens with the sequences in Andalasia animated. Notably these scenes weren't done by Disney's own animation studio, as it had not yet relaunched their 2D department (though it was animated by Disney veterans).

Applying this trope to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sounds like a ridiculous idea, but the One Cartoonist's Dream fan musical project makes it work, for both the heroes and the villains. The art even edits Disney characters into JoJo characters, giving the viewer an idea of how the series might look in the Disney style.

Belle (2021): Belle herself stands out from every other user's avatar in U for having a very Disney Princess-inspired design, particularly with her large doe eyes and prominently drawn lips. In fact, she was originally designed by Jin Kim, a veteran Disney animator and character designer.

Suzy’s story from the Johnny Bravo episode “That’s Entertainment” has a Disneyesque look to it, one sequence with a Princess (voiced by Lea Salonga who provided the singing voices of Jasmine and Mulan) that parodies Sleeping Beauty, and Suzy imagines herself as a mermaid princess looking similar to Ariel, the sequence was designed by Dan Haskett who worked on The Little Mermaid.

A running gag in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is Rebecca's obsession with the (fictional) animated film "Slumbered", which had a massive effect on her childhood and severely warped her expectations regarding romantic love. In Season 4, we finally get to see a portion of it, and it is this trope to a t. Rebecca only has access to a VHS she taped from cable as a child, as the copyright is in the Disney Vault, and not legally available.
