* ''Art/NorthAmericaPortraitOfAContinent'' is a large-scale pictorial map of UsefulNotes/NorthAmerica covered tundra-to-tropics in hundreds of details, such as flora, fauna, landmarks, city skylines, and much more in accurate reference the continent's vast history, geography, and culture. For example, [[https://www.antonthomasart.com/blog-recent/fidels-revolution-guantanamo-and-the-thaw These two]] [[https://www.antonthomasart.com/blog-recent/son-cubano-columbus-and-the-painted-snail blog posts]] delve into how just much thought and research went into the map's depiction of UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}} alone. The surrounding waters are even an accurate bathymetric drawing of the ocean floor.

* For a ride based off a [[Film/SongOfTheSouth movie]] that you've never seen and that Creator/{{Disney}} would like you to forget [[CanonDiscontinuity ever existed]], ''Ride/SplashMountain'' sure has a lot of {{shout out}}s to it. For one thing, the design of the mountain is actually based off of Chickapin Hill, the hill that Br'er Fox lives in (seen in only a couple of shots). The story of the ride itself is actually based off of all three of the animated segments that feature Br'er Rabbit, mixing moments between the three. And not only that, but they even include songs ''not based on the animated sequences'' into the queue music (such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NcpKzvXYbI&feature=related All I Want]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNzMY0qBIJg the title song]]). Hell, the queue even features ''Uncle Remus' chair'' for god's sake!
** While we're on the topic of Ride/DisneyThemeParks, it should be noted that almost any Disney attraction, hotel or restaurant has ''crazy'' amounts of research put into them, even if it's unlikely that ''anyone'' would notice them unless if specifically looking for it.
