* ''WesternAnimation/ReignOfTheSupermen''
** The film applies AdaptationalJobChange to the alter ego of Ms. America, Joan Dale, as instead of a reporter, she's basically "What if UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton the 2016 Presidental election?" and is a reference to [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman the original story]], seeing as Hillary and her husband UsefulNotes/BillClinton are depicted in attendance at Superman's funeral (as it was during the start of Bill's tenure as President).
** Speaking of the 2016 election, as has become customary for Lex Luthor, there's a UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump reference as he stands in front of a "Make Metropolis Safe Again" banner.

* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' has Lord Farquaad, widely rumoured to be modelled on Disney's then-CEO Michael Eisner, as a TakeThat on the part of the film's executive producer (and former Disney executive) Creator/JeffreyKatzenberg. His kingdom is a parody of the Ride/DisneyThemeParks. And Shrek [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YzgmV9oieA4/UQ1n975rEAI/AAAAAAAAAfg/rArteQyXQ1w/s1600/Maurice+and+Shrek+Attack.jpg bears a very strong resemblance to "The French Angel", Maurice Tillet]]

* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' has Lord Farquaad, widely rumoured to be modelled on Disney's then-CEO Michael Eisner, as a TakeThat on the part of the film's executive producer (and former Disney executive) Jeffrey Katzenberg.

* Franchise/{{Barbie}} [[WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}} movies]]:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'': Ego's appearance was inspired by French actor and director Louis Jouvet. It's also been claimed (though not confirmed) that Ego was based on theater critic Kenneth Tynan, who was close friends with Peter O'Toole in real life. Furthermore, his scathing judgment of dishes and intimidating personality bring to mind Gordon Ramsay.

** The vultures in ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook'' are patterned after Music/TheBeatles. Oddly, while they do have a musical number, it's a barbershop quartet song as opposed to something sounding similar to the Beatles rock tunes. Supposedly it's because Walt didn't think the Beatles actual music had much staying power.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Edna Mode, who is heavily based on acclaimed costume designer, Edith Head.
* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'': Evelyn Deavor is heavily based on avant-garde performance artist, Laurie Anderson, to near exact facial feature arrangement, hair-style, and clothing style -- with a heavy dash of Patti Smith also thrown into the mix of the latter.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' has Lord Farquaad, widely rumoured to be modelled on Disney's then-CEO Michael Eisner, as a TakeThat on the part of the film's executive producer (and former Disney executive) Jeffrey Katzenberg. His kingdom is a parody of [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World]]. And Shrek [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YzgmV9oieA4/UQ1n975rEAI/AAAAAAAAAfg/rArteQyXQ1w/s1600/Maurice+and+Shrek+Attack.jpg bears a very strong resemblance to "The French Angel", Maurice Tillet]]

** ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInRockNRoyals: The three (former) Camp Pop mean girls: Sloane resembles Music/SkyeSweetnam, and her sidekicks resemble Music/ChloeXHalle and Music/DuaLipa.

** The Prime Minister of Australia [[note]]Whom we can infer is John Howard by process of elimination[[/note]] makes a cameo as one of the dentist's patients in ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Barbie}}''

** Hack, almost every character in Shark Tale is modeled after a celebrity.

* The maggot companion of the ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' is a dead ringer for Creator/PeterLorre.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'': Edna Mode, who is heavily based on acclaimed costume designer, Edith Head.
* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'': Evelyn Deavor is heavily based on avant-garde performance artist, Laurie Anderson, to near exact facial feature arrangement, hair-style, and clothing style--with a heavy dash of Patti Smith also thrown into the mix of the latter.
* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': Joy is specifically designed to resemble Creator/AudreyHepburn, down to her signature "pixie" haircut.
* In ''Animation/NextGen'' the trope goes for a hat trick, with IQ Robotics being an expy for Apple, and Justin Pin and Dr Tanner Rice being obvious stand-ins for Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak respectively.
* Sykes from ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' almost sounds like Creator/GilbertGottfried. He actually sounds (and looks) exactly like Creator/MartinScorsese, who provided the voice of the character.
** Hack, almost every character in Shark Tale is modeled after a celebrity.
* ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'': Penny Peterson looks suspiciously like Music/TaylorSwift.

** Radio is Creator/JonLovitz doing Walter Winchell, down to his CatchPhrase signoff.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' has Lord Farquaad, widely rumoured to be modelled on Disney's then-CEO Michael Eisner, as a TakeThat on the part of the film's executive producer (and former Disney executive) Jeffrey Katzenberg. His kingdom is a parody of [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'': [[http://www.cdd4ever.com/Backlot03/CDDMSheets/DarlaMS01.gif Darla Dimple]]. Compare with Creator/ShirleyTemple.

* Gum from ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' is based on Creator/StephenHawking, down to the electric wheelchair and computerized voice.

** The film applies AdaptationalNameChange to the alter ego of Ms. America, Joan Dale, as instead of a reporter, she's basically "What if UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton the 2016 Presidental election?" and is a reference to [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman the original story]] seeing her and her husband UsefulNotes/BillClinton in attendance at Superman's funeral during Bill's tenure as President.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMaskOfTheBlueFalcon'' , Owen Garrison is clearly made to be Creator/AdamWest, complete with Creator/JeffBennett doing an impersonation of him. Also, his characterization echoes Simon "The Gray Ghost" Trent from the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Beware the Gray Ghost".
** Even the part about him being banned from wearing the Blue Falcon costume by the producers of a new movie about the character is taken from real life, based on an incident where Clayton Moore was sued by the producers of ''Legend of Franchise/TheLoneRanger'' over his continued appearances as the character taking attention away from their movie.

** King Candy from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' included both the voice and the caricature of Ed Wynn's "Perfect Fool" character--both taken from Wynn's Mad Hatter from Disney's production of ''Disney/AliceInWonderland''.
