First and foremost, the urban legend that Walt Disney was cryopreserved is false.<ref>[https://www.biography.com/news/walt-disney-frozen-after-death-myth Disney on Ice: Walt's Frosty Afterlife?]</ref> He was cremated in 1966. Before 1967, all cryopreservations occurred in mortuary, post-embalming conditions and were terminated by relatives shortly. This is often referenced in media such as in a 1996 episode of the The Simpsons 'The Day the Violence Died'<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Violence_Died</ref>

In television, perhaps the most well-known example of cryonics is the pilot episode of [[Futurama]], where main character Fry, a pizza delivery boy, accidentally falls into a cryo chamber and wakes up in the year 2,999.

A more accurate example is the episode ''Head Case''<ref>http://castle.wikia.com/wiki/Head_Case</ref> of the TV series ''Castle''; which was praised due to its accuracy by cryonics pioneer [[Mike Darwin]]<ref>[[Mike Darwin]]. ''Cryonics 'Castle' '''- [http://chronopause.com/index.php/2011/10/06/cryonics-%E2%80%9Ccastle%E2%80%9D/ Link].</ref>.

In House of Cards "Chapter 60",<ref>http://house-of-cards.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_60</ref> it is mentioned energy giant Raymond Tusk is signed up for cryonics.

Cryonics plays a side role David Zindell's ''[[Transhumanist Fiction#A Requiem for Homo Sapiens|A Requiem for Homo Sapiens]]'' series.
