Carrots have been mentioned and used in many films and tv series, here are several located by the World Carrot Museum. If you know of more please let us know.
No carrot web sight can be complete, however, without a link to the 1960's television series episode of "Lost in Space" where Dr. Smith is attacked by a giant carrot. Millions of American children feared carrots after this episode was broadcast...and also ran around the house waving their arms shouting "Moisture! Moisture! I need moisture!" whenever they were thirsty! - (from the episode The Great Vegetable Rebellion - On another planet, Dr. Smith plucks a flower, arousing accusations of murder from a giant, talking carrot, who plans to punish the Robinsons by turning them into plants.)

Wallace and Grommit Curse of the Were Rabbit
Poil de Carotte
(Carrot Head) 1932 - a French
Film
The absolute worst sub-titles notwithstanding, this is a great film because
visually the story is clearly told (it is a remake of a silent picture by
the same director). And because there is the sweetest pastorale quality about
the filming of this picture, like Babe, the pig who-would-be sheepdog. The
adult actors deliver an inspired reading; trained in classical theater they
were also successful on the stage at the time. The boy who plays Carrot-top
(or Carrot-head if you prefer) was discovered walking on the Champs-Elysée.
Harry Baur, Catherine Fonteney, and Robert Lynen are superb in the story
of a boy devastated by an abusive mother and a distant father. The film shows
the fragile, yet resilient childhood world of the boy by employing numerous
and ingenious imagery suggesting dreams and fear of the dark.
