===In film and television=== *The 1963 [[Famous Studios]] [[Screen Songs|Screen Song]], ''Hobo's Holiday'', features the adult lyrics which appear on screen with a [[bouncing ball (music)|bouncing ball]]. *The 1977 [[Rankin/Bass]] special ''[[The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town]]'' includes the famous refrain (with "peppermint trees"), but not the rest of the song. *In 1987, photographer [[Robert Frank]] directed a screenplay by Rudy Wurlitzer entitled ''Candy Mountain'' that references the song. *The 2000 [[Coen Brothers]] film ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' uses this song in the opening credits. *A performance of the song by [[John Hartford]] appears on the ''[[Down from the Mountain]]'' concert film and soundtrack in 2000. *The theme song to the 2008-2010 TV series ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'' is a version of the song with modified lyrics, referring to "a place called Candied Island" instead of "Big Rock Candy Mountain". The series itself echoes the song, as it features two hobo-like characters searching for the fabled paradise of Candied Island. *In the 2005 movie ''[[Brokeback Mountain]]'', when Lureen is speaking to Ennis on the phone after Jack's death, she says that she was never sure if Brokeback Mountain was a real location: "knowing Jack, it was probably some pretend place, where bluebirds sing and there's a whiskey spring..."--the bluebirds and whiskey parts of this line being paraphrases from "Big Rock Candy Mountain." *During the first dream sequence in the 2011 horror film ''[[Twixt (film)|Twixt]]'', the lyrics of the song are sung with an alternate melody. *In the 2003 film ''[[Runaway Jury]]'', an adaptation of a [[John Grisham]] legal thriller, Jacob Wood has to learn the words of the song for his son's birthday. This does not occur in the novel. *In the 2012-2014 Cartoon Network show, adapted from a YouTube series, "[[The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange]]" there is a character named Big Rock Candy Monster, from the planet of Marshmalia (a land that is an allusion to this song). Big Rock Candy Monster also appears in the Annoying Orange parody of "[[Gangnam Style]]", "ORANGE NYA NYA STYLE (GANGNAM STYLE PARODY)". *In the 2015 film [[Room (2015 film)|''Room'']], Ma ([[Brie Larson]]) sings a version of the song to her son Jack ([[Jacob Tremblay]]). *In the SyFy channel series [[Van Helsing (TV series)|''Van Helsing'']], Sam sings bits of the song in the episode "Little Thing" and the Burl Ives rendition is played over the closing credits of several episodes. *The Ives version of the song is played in the season 4 episode "[[Something Stupid (Better Call Saul)|Something Stupid]]" of [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC's]] crime drama ''[[Better Call Saul]]''. *Throughout the 2019 [[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|''DuckTales'']] episode ''GlomTales'', [[Scrooge McDuck]] and his family are traveling to Rock Candy Mountain to find the Hobo King's treasure. *The song appears in the background of a 2021 TV advertisement for the [[Chevrolet Silverado]] truck.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2021 Chevrolet Silverado TV Spot, 'Cat' Song by Harry McClintock [T1] |url=https://www.ispot.tv/ad/qlGc/2021-chevrolet-silverado-cat-song-by-harry-mcclintock-t1 |via=iSpot.tv | access-date=October 15, 2022}}</ref>
