* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles''
** Edna Mode, who is heavily based on acclaimed costume designer, Edith Head.
** In the German dub Mr. Huph, Bob's boss, looks like a caricature of the [[GermanHumour German comedian]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Feuerstein Herbert Feuerstein]], especially because of his shortness. Guess who was chosen for Mr. Huph's German voice actor.

** ''WesternAnimation:/BeautyAndTheBeast''
** Lumiere is based on Maurice Chevalier.

** ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' has Lumiere, who's based on Maurice Chevalier.

** ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'':

** The vultures in ''Disney/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.

** King Candy from ''Disney/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''.
** Hades from ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' was modeled after Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was one of the head honchos at Disney who left the company shortly before the film got made.
** Cruella de Vil of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' is more-or-less a parody of flamboyant actress Creator/TallulahBankhead. They even share the VerbalTic of addressing other people as "darling" (which they pronounce as "dahling").
** Jane in ''Disney/{{Tarzan}}'' is very different from her version in the book. She's British and has a genuine interest in learning about gorillas. She's essentially Jane Goodall but with gorillas instead of chimps.

*** Jafar was based on actor Creator/ConradVeidt, who played the villain from ''Film/TheThiefOfBagdad'' (who, fittingly enough, was named Jaffar). Aladdin himself was drawn to resemble Creator/TomCruise.[[note]] He was ''originally'' drawn to resemble Creator/MichaelJFox, but they eventually changed his design when it was decided that they wanted to make the character older (Aladdin was originally supposed to be about twelve years old).

* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'': [[http://www.cdd4ever.com/Backlot03/CDDMSheets/DarlaMS01.gif Darla Dimple]]. Compare with [[http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-127~Shirley-Temple-Posters.jpg Shirley Temple]].

* ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'': Evelyn Deavor is heavily based on queer avant-garde 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.

** Edna Mode, who is based on Edith Head.

* ''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://www.digititles.com/content/was-the-french-angel-maurice-tillet-the-model-for-shrek bears a very strong resemblance to "The French Angel", Maurice Tillet]]

** Cruella de Vil of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' is more-or-less a parody of flamboyant actress Tallulah Bankhead. They even share the VerbalTic of addressing other people as "darling" (which they pronounce as "dahling").

* Beetle in ''Film/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'' was modelled off of Creator/ToshiroMifune. It's even more apparent at the end when his human form is revealed.

*** Gaston has a BruceCampbell vibe to him.

* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'': Joy is specifically designed to resemble AudreyHepburn, down to her signature "pixie" haircut.

** Radio is Jon Lovitz doing Walter Winchell, down to his CatchPhrase signoff.

** Cruella de Vil of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' is more-or-less a parody of flamboyant actress Tallulah Bankhead. They even share the VerbalTic of addressing other people as "darling".

** Cruella de Vil of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' is often noted for her resemblance to flamboyant actress Tallulah Bankhead. They even share the VerbalTic of addressing other people as "darling". The extent to which the resemblance is intentional is much debated.

* Sykes from ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' almost sounds like GilbertGottfried. He actually sounds (and looks) exactly like Creator/MartinScorsese, who provided the voice of the character.
