* [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.
* Not only is "Petetronic" wearing armor that glows with [[Tron Lines]], he throws a homing [[Deadly Disc]] from his back, and summons rotating energy shields to protect him, all inside a presumably [[Tron|computerized arena]] where floor tiles disappear when struck.
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 Thethe 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 (Disney)|Scuttle]] or [[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|vultures]], dependent on area.
** The Bashers in Tomorrow City are based on [[The Black Hole|Maximillian.]]
* The [[Classic Disney Shorts|Lonesome Ghosts]] are NPCs at Lonesome Manor, [[Peter Pan]]'s pirates occupy Tortooga, extras from Mickey and the Beanstalk roam Mean Street...
Line 17:
** The paint jar he uses [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bears]] a striking resemblance to one of ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' 's <s>Honey</s> Hunny Pots.
* Dark Beauty Castle is the Wasteland's counterpart to the Disneyland Paris version of [[Sleeping Beauty]] Castle, complete with a somber reendition of "Once Upon A Dream" for its [[Leitmotif]]. It's also loaded with fireworks.
** The castle also features many of the gargoyles from [[Beauty and Thethe Beast (Disney)|Beast's Castle]] and even [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Victor, Hugo and Laverne]]. It also apparently contains images of [[The Lion King|Scar]], [[Peter Pan|Captain Hook]] and [[Sleeping Beauty|Maleficent.]]
** Speaking of the castles at the Disney theme parks the 2D transition level based off Sleeping Beauty kind of looks like one of the old doll diaorahmas that were used to tell the story of Sleeping Beauty in the Castle Walkthrough at the theme park before it got closed down and then re-opened with the modern one. This troper can tell because he looked at a video of the old castle walkthrough at Disneyland and saw that the diaromah that showed the castle in the distance and the place where the 2D level starts both look similar and even compared them for a bit.
** One of the statues in the very first room in Dark Beauty Castle IS the Beast himself, holding a three-pronged candle. We all know who this is supposed to be.
Line 26:
* The {{spoiler|real}} [[Big Bad|Phantom Blot]] looks a lot like [[Fantasia|Chernabog]] when first created, and [[Sleeping Beauty|Maleficent]] {{spoiler|when set free.}}
* Most of the Wasteland is built on forgotten or existing [[Disney Theme Parks]] rides. Divided by area:
** Gremlin Village: [[Dumbo (Disney)|Dumbo]] ride, [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'s Flying Carpets, It's A Small World.
** Tomorrow City: The Sky-Ride, the People Movers, Space Mountain, Moonliner Rocket and [[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea|Not-ilus]].
** Tortooga: Skull Island, the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, the Enchanted Tiki Room, the Pirates of the Carribean ride (complete with burning buildings in an area that boats pass through), Adventureland.
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.
