Line 326:
* Quite a few male characters in video games resemble [[David Bowie]], including Raziel from the ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'' games, and even the [[Pokémon]] Zangoose, which has an Aladdin Sane lightning bolt-esque design on one side of its face.
** Just look here: http://www.videogamelookalikes.com/
** Emperor Mateus Palmecia from ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'' GREATLY resembles Bowie's character Jareth from ''[[Labyrinth]]''. His English voice actor evidently picked up on this, as his performance is very similar to Bowie's. Plus, there's the fact that his gameplay in ''Dissidia'' is based entirely around setting up traps.
*** Speaking of ''[[Final Fantasy]]'', [[Final Fantasy VIII|Squall]]'s appearance was based on popular J-Rock artist [[Gackt]].
*** Either that, or Squall was based on River Phoenix. They even have the same birthday (August 23).
Line 467:
** In ''[[Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School]]'', [[Patty Maloney]] used her [[The Little Rascals|Darla Hood]] voice for Tanis the mummy girl.
* [[Walter Lantz]] had a series of "Maw and Paw" shorts in the 1950s, which were based on the live-action "Ma and Pa Kettle" comedies.
* The [[Edutainment Show]] ''[[Histeria (Animation)|Histeria!]]'', from the same studio as ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and sharing many of the voice actors, would transform historical figures without well-known voices and mannerisms into parodies of recognizable celebrities:
** Julius Caesar was [[Frank Sinatra]].
*** The Roman senators who ganged up on Caesar were other Rat Pack members, like Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin.
