* President Toydream of ''LightNovel/TheUnexploredSummonBloodSign'' is the eccentric, mega-rich founder of the Toydream franchise and cities-slash-theme parks (yes, they're ''that'' big). The setting [[AllMythsAreTrue 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.

* John Hammond, the creator of Film/JurassicPark. In [[Literature/JurassicPark the book]], he's a greedy and uncaring executive who author Michael Crichton described as "the dark version of Walt Disney". But the film makes him a more sympathetic CoolOldGuy -- i.e. Disney played more straight -- given Steven Spielberg identified with his like for showmanship.

* An episode of ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' has King Dedede start his own animation company, hiring a famous animator named "Dis Walney" ("[[Creator/OsamuTezuka Owalt]] Desney" in the original Japanese version) [[spoiler:who turns out to be a monster in disguise]] to help him.

* Roger Meyers Sr. from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', [[PlagiarismInFiction thief]] of [[JustForFun/TheItchyAndScratchyShow 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 ''Franchise/FelixTheCat''[[/note]], which eventually spawned Itchy and Scratchy Land (albeit after his death). While the cartoon is generally a parody of ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/HermanAndKatnip'', the historical installments of the series produced under Meyers Sr. depicted in various episodes include parodies of ''WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. Myers was also known for his "controversial" 1938 film ''Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors''. The episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E18TheDayTheViolenceDied 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 now only afford to preserve his father's head in cryo-conservation... cue leaking icebox.

* Lemuel Stewartson on the Atom.com cartoons about UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation; his creation was a raccoon called Mortimer Koon (in a universe of AnimatedActors). Alas, the ill-fated theme park Koonland was ruined by UnfortunateImplications.

* Roy Brisby from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', creator of Bizzy Bee and Brisbyland.

A NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Creator/WaltDisney; expect him to be the animator of a world-famous cartoon character (frequently a MockyMouse) and/or the founder of SouvenirLand. Also expect an [[{{Egopolis}} exaggerated interest]] in planned communities and/or creating a utopia, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans possibly with sinister undertones]]. He'll present said utopia in the form of a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_fair World's Fair]]-like exhibition, usually in his parks. Oh, and HumanPopsicle or BrainInAJar jokes, many of them.

* Howard Stark in ''Film/IronMan2'' 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 ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' and ''Series/AgentCarter'' that in his earlier days he was more of a pre-breakdown Creator/HowardHughes type.

* Creator/BillPlympton's {{Mockumentary}} ''Hitler's Folly'' makes UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler himself into one, expanding on Hitler's art career and love of ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' (which led to the real-life production of ''WesternAnimation/ArmerHansi'') by [[AdolfHitlarious reimagining him]] as having unfulfilled dreams of being an animator himself and wanting to build the Disneyland-esque park "Naziland".

* ''Literature/InCryptid'' has Mr. Lowry, the founder of the Disneyland [[ExpyCoexistence coexisting expy]] Lowryland, though he's long dead by the time the series takes place, and most of the focus is on the theme park.

* [[http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?p=827769#p827769 Walter Rand]] in the ''TabletopGame/HaltEvilDoer'' setting for ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds''. His "Rand Utopias" are parodies of Disney's "planned community" Celebration combined with the comicbook concept of the MadScientist having a hidden community as his own sociology experiment. (The real Disney also existed in the HED! setting, and got irritated at Rand constantly stealing his ideas. The last straw was when he started "poaching" Mouseketeers to join Sneckles the Snake's Young Pioneers.)

* Andrew Ryan from ''VideoGame/BioShock'' is basically a Libertarian Walt Disney bent on building a utopia, much like Disney's original concept of the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT). He also has a mustache that is similar to Disney's. Like Robert House, he is also based on Howard Hughes.

** ''Videogame/{{Fallout 4}}'' has John-Caleb Bradberton, the creator of Nuka Cola who built a theme park dedicated to his drink. [[spoiler:Unsurprisingly, his head is found frozen and kept alive by pre-war technology underneath the park.]] For bonus points, his name is a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed mashup]] of John Pemberton and Caleb Bradham, inventors of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola respectively.
