A No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Walt Disney; expect him to be the animator of a world-famous cartoon character (frequently a Mocky Mouse) and/or the founder of Souvenir Land. Also expect an exaggerated interest in planned communities and/or creating a utopia, possibly with sinister undertones. He'll present said utopia in the form of a World's Fair-like exhibition, usually in his parks. Oh, and, expect Human Popsicle or Brain in a Jar jokes, many of them. Many of these characters go beyond parodying just Disney and fuse him with Howard Hughes, another mustachio'd early/Golden Age of Hollywood impresario and futurist. Hughes gradually became debilitated by severe mental illness (OCD and agoraphobia) and eventually was reduced to living in seclusion, obsessively carrying out odd habits such as urinating in jars, wearing tissue boxes on his feet, and refusing to cut his nails. While Disney endured a fairly normal, if still ultimately fatal, bout with cancer, Hughes' eccentricities dovetail well enough with the prevailing Urban Legend about Disney going into hiding in order to cheat death that perhaps it's not surprising that many writers can't resist the conflation when writing this type of character. See also: Fountain of Expies, Howard Hughes Homage. Overlaps with Expy Coexistence if Disney is also acknowledged as existing In-Universe as well. |

Linnie Bygone from Klunscomic is essentially a Gender Flip version of Walt Disney. She created Toona, a Mocky Mouse, and she even has her own theme park named "Bygoneland". | |

Roy Walleynote Walt's brother and nephew, both of whom were high executives in the Disney corporation, were named Roy in National Lampoon's Vacation, with Marty Moose and Walley World. In the original magazine story it really was Walt Disney, who was (non-fatally) shot by a pushed-over-the-edge Pop. | |

Roger Meyers Sr. from The Simpsons, thief of Itchy and Scratchy,note Most likely based on the fact that Disney's first commercial character, Julius the Cat, was practically a carbon copy of Felix the Cat which eventually spawned Itchy and Scratchy Land (albeit after his death). While the cartoon is generally a parody of Tom and Jerry and Herman and Katnip, the historical installments of the series produced under Meyers Sr. depicted in various episodes include parodies of Steamboat Willie, Pinocchio and Fantasia. Meyers was also known for his "controversial" 1938 film Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors, referencing the urban legend of Disney's anti-semitism. The episode "The Day the Violence Died" also references the urban legend about Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen, when Roger Meyers Jr. goes bankrupt and shows that he can no longer afford to preserve his father's head in cryo-conservation... cue leaking icebox. | |

In Iron Man 2, Howard Stark is very much based on the futurist side of Walt, with his Stark Expo film being very similar to Disney's promotional film for EPCOT, though it's shown in Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter that in his earlier days, he was more of a pre-breakdown Howard Hughes Homage. Funnily enough, Iron Man 2 just so happened to be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe film released after Disney bought Marvel. | |

Mr. Robert House from Fallout: New Vegas is this mixed with a Howard Hughes-type paranoiac. His goal is to run New Vegas as The Theme Park Version: safe, clean, secure, and under his totalitarian control, aided by an army of robots. His portrait bears more than a little resemblance to Disney, and his actual body is effectively somewhere between Human Popsicle and Brain in a Jar. | |

An early Schlock Mercenary arc features Newt Sidney, owner of Sidneyland. Very obvious — it's even mentioned that he started his career with a talking mouse. He's the villain of the piece, enforcing "a near-monopoly" through underhanded dealings, threats, criminal connections, and similar — all of it impossible to trace back to him, meaning that he winds up as a Karma Houdini. The arc is started when one of his competitors hires the titular mercenaries to safeguard the opening of his new 'Magic Dream-Land' (next door to Sidneyland), after Sidney threatened to prevent the opening even if he had to commandeer a Kill Sat and nuke them from orbit. | |

Marvel Universe: One Fantastic Four story (volume 1, issues #263-264) has a crazy Disney-alike who tries to use the Human Torch's powers to 'reignite the Earth's core'. The reason his employees went along with such a blatantly insane plan (lampshaded as such, even by comic-book science standards) is that they're all Ridiculously Human Robots he'd built. In the black-and-white Howard the Duck magazine, Wally Sidney is a failed animator turned wealthy haberdasher. He imposes a new code of decency on the title character, forcing him to wear pants. This was because Disney had sued Marvel over the character, claiming similarity to Donald Duck. Marvel's lawyers instantly caved, and as a part of the settlement, Disney was allowed to redesign Howard's look any way they saw fit, which included making him wear pants — and now Disney owns Marvel. X-Men villain Bolivar Trask, creator of the Sentinels, was visually based on Walt Disney, and inherited his interest in futuristic technology and his purported bigotry. |

Joey Drew from Bendy and the Ink Machine is at least partly based on Walt Disney. His most famous character appears to be the titular Bendy, a demon reminiscent of Mickey Mouse. Joey also has his own animation studio where he encourages people to follow their dreams. This being a horror game, Joey is also an All Take and No Give kind of boss who took credit for all of his worker's accomplishments. He seems to have made as much of an effort to go straight as he can after realizing it hasn't done anything but leave him almost entirely alone: aside from trying to mend bridges with his co-workers, like Wally and Allison, Joey also asks for Henry's help to destroy Bendy once and for all once it's clear that he's done nothing but cause everyone misery. | |

Grant Walker from the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Deep Freeze". The focus is less on him as a cartoon mogul and more on the animatronics part, and his design of an underwater utopia with no crime (wait...). His attempt to work with Mr. Freeze to gain immortality does succeed, but ultimately results in him becoming a Human Popsicle (combined with And I Must Scream, since he's still conscious) when his city is brought down around him. | |

Bigweld from Robots, according to the filmmakers. Even though he's in a completely different industry — his company sells robotic gadgets as well as spare parts for the robotic inhabitants of his world — he has the friendly demeanor, the big-dreamer mentality, and his own TV show. By the time the protagonist arrives at Bigweld HQ, where he'd dreamed of working someday, the company has been taken over by a sleazy executive who's only interested in making money and has no interest in offering jobs to small-timers like him. (As this was an animated film made by a studio that is not Disney, it's probably a bit autobiographical as well.) | |

The "Sleeping Beauty" parody in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (one of the "Fractured Fairy Tales" segments) portrays the prince as an obvious parody of Walt Disney who, rather than wake Sleeping Beauty with a kiss, builds a theme park ("Sleeping Beauty Land") around her. Walt was reportedly not amused. (Possibly explaining a reference during one of a handful of shows where NBC experimentally had a live-action Bullwinkle puppet, also voiced by Bill Scott, hosting. At the end of one show, the puppet explains that they have to go because "Mr. Disney just came into the studio with a baseball bat.") | |

President Toydream of The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign is the eccentric, mega-rich founder of the Toydream franchise and cities-slash-theme parks (yes, they're that big). The setting being what it is, he is also a peerless occultist who has collected stories and relics from around the world so he could adapt them into blockbusters someday. | |

The Saruman counterpart in Bored of the Rings, Serutan. He was running a half-abandoned theme park centered around a character called Dicky Dragon. At one point in the past, Goodgulf (the Gandalf equivalent) was his business partner, but their relationship soured due to Serutan becoming greedier (at least, according to Goodgulf). | |

The DCU: Winston Keever Sr., creator of Winky Blink and Friends and founder of the Winkyworld theme park chain in Chuck Dixon's Batman and Green Arrow comics. He briefly appears in Green Arrow as a dying old man, horrified by how ruthlessly his son runs the company. The Elseworld Batman: Dark Allegiances reinvents the Dark Knight's villains as parodies of real people from the 1930s suspected of Nazi sympathies. So Oswald Cobblepot becomes Milt Biggsley, the creator of Peter Penguin, and founder of the Biggstown amusement park (allowing a Mythology Gag with a giant prop typewriter). His inviting Adolf Hitler to Hollywood is likely an allusion to Walt Disney infamously providing a tour of the production of Fantasia to Nazi actress Leni Riefenstahl. Wonder Woman (1942) has Wade Dazzle, a billionaire cartoon and amusement park mogul who seeks the secret of Amazon immortality. Justice League International revealed that somehow the first version of the Extremists the team face are animatronics created by "legendary theme park creator" Mitch Wacky for his "Wackyworld" park. |

Wish (2023): Magnifico is a charismatic man who single-handedly created a "Magic Kingdom" and has built a reputation as a man who brings people's fantasies to life in spite of grim reality. Considering Wish was made in celebration of the company's 100 year anniversary, this could have been the intent. Like many other takes on this trope, he is a villainous version of the archetype, whose power and acclaim go hand-in-hand with his greed and ambition. | |

Nathaniel Winter of The Secret World and The Park is portrayed as a mad cross between Walt Disney and Howard Hughes during both games. A millionaire construction mogul, he set out to build a spectacular amusement park on a relatively obscure island off the coast of Maine, and was careful to portray himself as benevolently as possible in the advertising; he even has a small cuddly mammal as the park's mascot — namely Chad the Chipmunk. For good measure, he's revealed to be secretly contemptuous of the locals, knowingly exposing workers and guests to dangerous conditions, and bribing the government to keep the park open. Then, when the park is finally shut down, he abandons his family and retreats into the abandoned property to spend the rest of his life in seclusion. It turns out that Atlantic Island Park was secretly his means of securing immortality, and has ultimately transformed him into the Bogeyman that still haunts the property. | |

Elijah Walton of American Arcadia is a blatant Walt Disney expy, if his last name didn't give an indication. His ideal utopian city, the titular Arcadia, is EPCOT in all but name and form, and similarly to the real EPCOT, once Elijah passed away and his company, Walton Media, fell into the hands of his brother Donald, Arcadia was turned into a tourist attraction... with the additional caveat that it plays host to the game's namesake reality show, with the city's residents all part of a large "Truman Show" Plot. | |

Jurassic Park: John Hammond, the creator of Jurassic Park. In the book, he's a greedy and uncaring executive who author Michael Crichton described as "the dark version of Walt Disney". However, the film makes him a more sympathetic Cool Old Guy (i.e., Disney played straighter), since Steven Spielberg identified with his like for showmanship. | |

Bruno the Bandit briefly gives us the fame vampire Valdzny, brother of Nosferatinx and "father of all fame vampire animals". He perfected a serum of distilled fame vampire blood that when injected, redesigns the animal to be more pleasing to children and gives them Barbie Doll Anatomy. According to Ella, his first test was on a lab mouse who's suspiciously familiar ears barely poke into the bottom of the frame here. He even creates "Valdzny-Ville" from a rancid mountain of half-digested Rothland villages puked up by an injected Leviathan. | |

One Fantastic Four story (volume 1, issues #263-264) has a crazy Disney-alike who tries to use the Human Torch's powers to 'reignite the Earth's core'. The reason his employees went along with such a blatantly insane plan (lampshaded as such, even by comic-book science standards) is that they're all Ridiculously Human Robots he'd built. | |

V. A. Vandemere, the villain in Dumbo (2019) who runs an Art Deco-inspired theme park called Dreamland, is based in equal parts on Disney, P. T. Barnum, and Thomas Edison. Given that the film was made by Disney as it was in the process of buying out 20th Century Fox, and that the plot of the film revolved around Vandemere buying out the protagonists' smaller circus, many critics read it as Biting-the-Hand Humor. | |
