While the episode "Beanyland" is a clear parody of Disney and Disneyland, the depiction doesn't really appear malicious enough to be intended as a jab at them.


** "Beanyland" is a tongue-in-cheek spoof of ''Ride/{{Disneyland}}''.



* TakeThat: Against a certain [[{{Creator/Disney}} animation studio and its theme park]] in the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB3lC5b2qtQ Beanyland]]" episode. The second DVD edition has the director's cut of this episode, titled "Park At The Top Of The Stars."
** Hammered home by Cecil's song, "[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} When you wish upon a moon]]."

* LatexPerfection / MultiLayerFacade: Played with (of course) in "The Capture of Thunderbolt the Wondercolt," when the titular heroic horse notices Dishonest John's duck FullBodyDisguise he got out of a trunk labeled "Dishonest Disguises", Thunderbolt rushes to his own chest labeled "Honest Dishonest Disguises" and puts on a [[LawyerFriendlyCameo blue Mickey Mouse-esque mask]] to confront the "duck." To which said "duck" yanks the mouse mask off Thunderbolt to reveal a brown WesternAnimation/BugsBunny-esque mask, prompting the following exchange, referencing a few other incidental characters in the process...
-->'''Dishonest John:''' You're not that WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry-drinking mouse!
-->'''Thunderbolt:''' ''(removes D.J.'s duck head to reveal a WesternAnimation/PorkyPig-esque mask)'' And you're not Quain Quacker!
-->'''Dishonest John:''' ''(removes Thunderbolt's rabbit mask to reveal a dog mask)'' And you're not Harecules Hare!

-->'''Dishonest John:''' ''(removes Thunderbolt's dog mask to reveal another Beany Boy mask)'' You're not Rin Tin Can! ''(now imitating Beany's voice)'' Beany? You're not Beany Boy!

* DirtyCoward: Captain Huffenpuff. More often than not, after telling Beany and Cecil what their mission or task for the episode is, he will go hide (usually in the Leakin' Lena's cabin; in "Spots Off a Leopard" it explicitly says "HIDING ROOM" above the cabin door) and leave Beany and Cecil to carry out the task themselves, but not before he makes a pun relating to his hiding.
