Disney References in Club Penguin
- Star Wars - While not exactly Disney at the time, the first
reference of a "Disney" property was way back in 2008, believe it or
not, during Quest for the Golden Puffle. Near the end of the play Yukon
says "These weren't the puffles we were looking for", a reference to
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, where Obi-Wan Kenobi says "These
aren't the droids you're looking for". Interestingly, over 5 years
later, the Star Wars Takeover was also based on A New Hope.
- Cinderella - During the Medieval Party 2012, at the Town you
could see a pumpkin in the bottom left corner shaped like a carriage. In
the Cinderella movie, the Fairy Godmother transforms a pumpkin into a
carriage shaped almost exactly like the one in Club Penguin.
- Marvel - June 2012 brought Takeovers to Club Penguin, the
first one being the Marvel Superhero Takeover, which returned in April
2013. This doesn't really need any more explanation than that.
- Shake It Up! - The Music Jam was fused with this Disney
Channel show in July 2012, creating the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam as a
tie-in with a contest the show was running at the time. While not
exactly a full-fledged takeover, a few items referenced the show and
Rocky and CeCe the show's main characters came for a guest mascot
appearance, being the first to do so.
- The Haunted Mansion - Gariwald's mansion from the Halloween
Party 2012 was based off of this lovable attraction, the Haunted
Mansion. When you're outside the attraction at the actual parks, you
might hear a tune which Gariwald's mansion clearly drew inspiration
from.
- Monsters University - Just like Marvel, Monsters University had its own takeover in June 2014. Enough said.
- Mickey Mouse/Disney Channel - At the aforementioned Monsters
University Takeover, ROR's house had a reference hidden in the dance
floor. The three circles are obviously the iconic Mickey Mouse head, but
when reversed, they also match the former Disney Channel logo.
- Toy Story - At the Monsters University Takeover during the Scare Game
s, one of the obstacles is an army man that parachutes from the ceiling, the same army man seen in the Toy Story trilogy.
- Teen Beach Movie - Like Shake It Up, the Music Jam was fused
with this Disney Channel movie in August 2013 to create the Teen Beach
Movie Summer Jam. Although not technically a takeover, you could call it
one, with rooms, items, and music based off the movie. Brady and
McKenzie, the main characters from the movie, also visited.
- The Muppets - The most recent takeover, based off of The
Muppets (more specifically their latest movie, Muppets Most Wanted) was
the Muppets World Tour. Kermit the Frog also made a mascot guest
appearance, like Rocky, CeCe, Brady, and McKenzie before him.
