Dream A Little Dream is the third segment of the thirteenth episode of Grim & Evil, and the third segment of the eighth episode of the first season of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
Plot[]
In this astonishingly good send-off of Disney's Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, Grim, Billy, and Mandy eat an ancient left-over pizza that gives them three individual nightmares, each of which features nasty pizza slices.
Billy dreams of a idyllic scenes with Disney-esque animals that turn into monsters, Grim's nightmare has Mandy ordering him around while replicating herself endlessly, and Mandy's nightmare is a wonderful parody of A Night on Bald Mountain. Complete with demons and other vile creatures, Mandy is the monster on the mountain who watches happily as swarms of pizza bats swirl around her.
Naturally, only Mandy gets a good night's sleep, and she eats the last pizza slice, while Grim and Billy can't even imagine eating breakfast.
