Funny parallels are also favored here. When Pops, the old Basset Hound, professes his feelings toward Chloe, he says the famous ending line from Some Like It Hot: "Nobody’s perfect."

Aladdin himself had been first based on Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future). But the producers thought he looked too much like a little boy, and they changed the image for Tom Cruise.
№ 4. Zootopia
