The Sub appears as far back as the Filmation and Super Friends cartoons, so too many to mention.

* Atlantis's origin in the film is of getting submerged underwater due to a cataclysm from an experiment, which caused its inhabitants to develop underwater breathing and culture. This is based on the underwater town of Sub Diego, where Arthur briefly ruled; the town was originally a part of the California shore town San Diego until a failed experiment caused it to sink and force its residents to convert to underwater life.
** The Atlantis underwater bridge that marks its entrance is based on the Californian landmark the Golden Gate, which is a homage to Sub Diego.

* The unnamed Fishermen Princess-turned-Queen could be an obscure nod to Queen Vassa from Creator/{{Filmation}} Studios' ''Aquaman'' cartoons. The film now gives a motive to that Queen's hostility towards Atlantis, which now parallels Black Manta's; both their fathers were killed by the Atlantean king(s). Bonus materials also include the Fishermen using whale-shaped subs, like Vassa in the cartoons.
