The effect is used in the animated Disney and Pixar films such as the Toy Story and Cars series and Up and the movies Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Kung Fu Panda, Hercules, and Game of Thrones, to name a few. In February 2018 it was announced Star Wars will no longer use the Wilhelm scream, with The Force Awakens (2015) being the last film in the series to use it. The Wilhelm scream often became an in-joke after it was used in films such as the Star Wars franchise and the Indiana Jones films. Over the next decade, Burtt began incorporating the effect in other films on which he worked, including projects involving George Lucas or Steven Spielberg, notably the rest of the subsequent Star Wars films, as well as the Indiana Jones movies. Burtt is credited with naming the scream after Pvt. The Wilhelm scream's major breakout in popular culture came from motion picture sound designer Ben Burtt, who discovered the original recording (which he found as a studio reel labeled 'Man being eaten by alligator') and incorporated it into a scene in Star Wars in which Luke Skywalker shoots a Stormtrooper off of a ledge, with the effect being used as the Stormtrooper is falling. Dotson confirmed Wooley's scream had been in many Westerns, adding, 'He always used to joke about how he was so great about screaming and dying in films.' Uses Wooley was one of a few actors assembled for the recording of additional, 'pick-up,' vocal elements for the film. Burtt discovered records at Warner Brothers from the editor of Distant Drums including a short list of names of actors scheduled to record lines of dialogue for miscellaneous roles in the movie. This has been supported by an interview in 2005 with Linda Dotson, Wooley's widow. Research by Ben Burtt suggests that Wooley, best known for his 1958 novelty song ' The Purple People Eater' and as Indian scout Pete Nolan on the television series Rawhide, is likely to have been the voice actor who originally performed the scream. The fifth take, which later became known as the iconic 'Wilhelm scream,' was probably voiced by actor Sheb Wooley (who played the uncredited role of Pvt.

The recording was entitled: 'Man getting bit by an alligator, and he screamed.' The fifth take of the scream was used for the soldier in the alligator scene. The screams for that scene, and other scenes in the movie, were recorded later in a single take. In a scene from the film, soldiers are wading through a swamp in the Everglades, and one of them is bitten and dragged underwater by an alligator.
