I wouldn't mind a Planet of the Apes musical so long as it's a close match to the excerpt we saw in The Simpsons:

It's the exact same thing as is happening in cinema. There's plenty of new and original musicals being created (just like there's plenty of original movies being made) but musical and movie producers know that if they use an existing property the brand recognition will sell more tickets.
So there's a steady flow of both new musicals and movies that are adaptations of existing movies/books and sometimes the movie producers will look at musicals based on movies and turn them into new musical movies! (Hairspray, The Producers). And there's a couple of musicals based on movies that I love much more than the original films (Legally Blonde, Shrek, Priscilla, and Billy Eliot are in my top ten musicals of all time).

Meanwhile, in Bollywood...
There's just something about watching a musical horror movie that makes it less scary

Tonight's episode of Family Guy. Chris Griffin (the son) wears an Optimus Prime costume to a dress up party. Hooks up with a girl in a closet, who turns out to be Meg (his sister). Ewwww.

In the animated film Hulk Vs., there is a fight scene between Loki (in Hulk's body) and Thor, where Loki said, "I have waited an eternity for this, to crush you with my bare hands ...", and Thor responded, "Never!"
I think the screenwriter might have seen TF:TM too many times.

A pair of references in anime.
In the English dub of the anime Sgt. Frog, the second story of episode 34 called "Frog on the run" there is a scene where the Characters Fuyuki and Keroro find a construction vehicle demolishing a building and have this (slightly erroneous) exchange
Fuyuki: It kinda looks like a Constructicon.
Keroro: Oh my frog god, I hadn't thought of that. I might just be looking at an actual, real life Transformer.
Fuyuki: Yeah, it's too bad though. It's gotta tear down that old building.
Keroro: Kero? he should be fighting Decepticons, leave the Pekopon destruction to Agol Mois. Heehee, yeah. I should really get around to conquering this place.
The series (a comedy about a group of Frog-like aliens coming to conquer earth, but mostly just goofing off) was always full of referential humor, but the English dub really goes all out making pop-culture references and trying to be as "funny" as possible. personally, I really enjoy it.
in another anime I enjoy that is full of pop-culture references. Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku) during the first opening theme song of the series. there is a moment where the shadows of 3 giant robots loom over the protagonists. one of which is clearly G1 Optimus Prime.

The Goldbergs did it again with some more awesome Transformers in the show. I am going from memory but it is Season 4 Episode 10, "Han Ukkah Solo". Adam is looking at a toy catalog and there are some Transformer he is circling whist also shots of Metroplex and I think the Contructicons in the scene.
