* [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gt-pop-block-epic-mickey/703254 Already in just the opening scene.]
** Actually, this game may be the best example here, as, according to the dev team, ''[[Shown Their Work|every single detail]]'' is a [[Shout-Out]] to some obscure bit of [[Disney]] history. [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] sidekick, [[Deadpan Snarker|Gus?]] He's from an unmade WWII cartoon by Roald Dahl. The [[NPC|NPCs]] on [[Hub Level|Mean Street]]? Extras from [[Classic Disney Shorts]]. ''[[Serial Escalation|Individual barrels?]]'' You'd better believe they turned up in one [[Disney]] project or another before showing up here. [[Shown Their Work]] doesn't ''begin'' to cover it.
* Mickeyjunk Mountain, an area built out of old Mickey merchandise, contains cartridges of old [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] games on the NES and SNES.
Line 10:
** Petetronic has somewhat of a Zelda-ish feel, as he throws his Disc at you, and [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] makes it fly back in a sort of ''Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker/Twilight Princess + [[Mickey Mouse]]'' boss.
** A piece of concept art in the game revealed him to have more of a ''[[Treasure Planet]]''-y feel, making him look more like Long John Silver.
** The Tanker Beetleworx also have [[Cool Bike|lightcycle]] bodies, as well as the heads of the guards from [[Lilo and Stitch]] when in Tomorrow City. They can also appear with the heads of [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Lady Grimhilde (y'know, the Evil Queen's hag-form) and poison-apple bodies.]]
* Other Beetleworx contain references. Hoppers take the forms of [[The Little Mermaid|Scuttle]] or [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|vultures]], dependent on area.
** The Bashers in Tomorrow City are based on [[The Black Hole|Maximillian.]]
Line 37:
* In the library of Lonesome Manor, the statue near the staircase is [[The Lion King|Simba]].
* When filling in paintings in Dark Beauty Castle near the end of the game, you find a small paintable square on the wall. Paint it in, and it becomes the Beast's portrait in human form [[Beauty and The Beast|from the West Wing]], complete with claw marks through the center.
* There are even references to [[Kingdom Hearts]]! Casey's key you have to get near the start of the game? It's design is very similar to Kairi's keyblade. Mickey getting his heart stolen sounds familiar as well. Some of the blotlings act very similar to heartlesses.
* In the sequel, the new versions of the Travel levels are called [[Roald Dahl|Dahl]] Engineering Corridors.
