The story ends with a warning to those who have to take care of orphans and others' children not to inflict God's wrath upon themselves. The Walt Disney Company re-worked this tale for their 1932 short animated film Babes in the Woods, incorporating some material from Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm, and adding a village of friendly elves (a feature not traditionally present in either tale) and a happy ending.

In 1933, Blue Ribbon Books published The Pop-Up Silly Symphonies, a pop-up book featuring full-color illustrations inspired by King Neptune and Babes in the Woods. Disney used the character of King Neptune again, in the 1936 Mickey Mouse short Thru the Mirror, as well as in The Cold-Blooded Penguin, a segment in the 1945 film The Three Caballeros. The director of the short, Burt Gillett, used a similar character design for King Neptune in a 1936 Felix the Cat cartoon, the Van Beuren Rainbow Parade Neptune's Nonsense. Several elements of this short (particularly Neptune's attack on the pirates) later served as reference for the final battle in the 1989 film The Little Mermaid.
