Behind the scenes

 * The character of Walton Winkle, as played by Sylvester McCoy in Zagreus, was a pastiche of Walt Disney and the Disney company.
 * In the unproduced novel Minalopa by Callum Phillpott, Gruber Minalopa would've been a sort of "outer-space Walt Disney".
 * Several DWU stories depict Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen following his death. These stories are based on the popular real world myth that Disney was indeed secretly cryogenically frozen. In actuality, Disney was cremated and he had likely never heard of cryonics.
