** The main plot opens with a celebration of Private's 10th birthday and escalates from there; Marty's 10th birthday similarly motivates the opening act of ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}''.
** When locked in a cage, Skipper orders Rico to bust them out, which he does by coughing up a paperclip to pick the lock with. This action in [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} the first movie]] is what inspired his stomach of holding abilities.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingMaurice'' has several references to both plot points that were changed from [[Literature/TheAmazingMauriceAndHisEducatedRodents the book]], and the wider ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' canon:
** Rincewind and Twoflower make a cameo appearance.
** ''Twurpe's Peerage'', mentioned in several City Watch novels, is on a lectern in Malicia's library.
** While the subplot about Peaches writing down Dangerous Beans's thoughts in a pictographic language she invented is mostly excised, they appear at the end when we're shown the rat school.
** Mr Clicky the clockwork rat is still involved in the showdown with the real Piper, but in a very different way.

* At the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin|2011}}'', a painter paints a portrait of Tintin. The painting turns out to be his design from the comics! And if you look closely in the background, you can see that the painter has done paintings of the other characters from the comics too. What's even better is that the painter is a CreatorCameo of Hergé.

** A glimpse of some side characters gives us a weasel named Duke Weaselton, referencing back to a character mispronouncing the Duke of Weselton in ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}''. (When she confronts him at his pirate DVD shop, Judy mispronounces his name as "Weselton" and he corrects her, thus echoing and inverting the joke from ''Frozen''.) They even share the same voice actor, Disney Animation regular Alan Tudyk.

** There are some references to ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'' in terms of character choices. Most prominently, Nick is a GuileHero of a criminal fox in green clothing, much like Robin Hood himself. There's also Mayor Lionheart, an anthropomophic lion sharing a name with the anthropomorphic lion version of Richard the Lionheart, but who also has wolves working for him much like ''Robin Hood'''s villain Prince John did. These aren't just convergent animal stereotypes, either: co-director Byron Howard was inspired to make ''Zootopia'' based on ''Robin Hood''.
