* As pointed out by [https://web.archive.org/web/20140312184851/http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/Quest_for_Camelot_1998.aspx?Page=2 The Agony Booth], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924131702/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/17979-quest-for-camelot the Nostalgia Critic] and [[Lauren Faust]] (who worked on the film as an animator) [[Quest for Camelot|Kayley]] is, both looks and personality-wise, [[Beauty and The Beast|Belle]]. Faust, [http://www.donbluthanimation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1619 commenting]{{Dead link}} on the similarity, goes even further and points out that Garret looks like the human form of the Beast.
* Being an [[Affectionate Parody]] to superhero movies in general (and a VERY good one at that, seeing that it won ''two'' Oscar Awards and all), it shouldn't be a surprise that ''[[The Incredibles]]'' thrusts a whole lot of superhero expies in your face from start to finish.
** The family is very nearly the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]: Mr. Incredible is the Thing, Elastigirl is Mr. Fantastic, and Violet is the Invisible Woman. Only Dash lacks a direct parallel, though he's certainly Hot Blooded enough to be a match for the Human Torch. {{spoiler|The ending shows Jack-Jack has highly variable superpowers (among these, lighting himself on fire like the Human Torch), and Franklin Richards, the child of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman had very ill-defined but vast superpowers.}} Even their costumes and name (Fantastic/Incredible) are similar. Their villain, Syndrome, is a somewhat more rotund Doctor Doom, a villain whose primary superpowers are simply being so good at super-technology that his super-suit is more powerful than the family combined.
** Dash is basically The Flash and even calls himself "The Dash" when he gets his suit.
** Frozone is basically Iceman from the X-Men comics as played by Samuel L. Jackson. They even have the same way of getting from place to place: creating ramps of ice to skate everywhere.
