List of references to Disney in games that are not based on Disney productions.
When you play as an elephant in the game when you press the play button, the elephants flap their ears and fly very low to the ground, a reference to Dumbo.
Brain Dead 13
Fantasia mushroom gone bad.
One of the "game over" sequences ends up with Lance Galahad running into a bunch of dangerous mushrooms. They resemble the mushrooms from Fantasia.
Curious George Learns Phonics
The ball in the story "Baby Bip Takes a Bath" is the Pixar Ball.
Based on the 1983 film of the same name, the cover of this video game features a naked family (who are about to be crushed by a boulder with a sperm cell on it) all wearing Mickey Mouse hats.
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Pinocchio's been caged again, this time by Conroy Bumpus.
When Sam and Max are visiting Conroy Bumpus' mansion, they happen upon Bumpus' stage room. In one corner of the room, Pinocchio, with his nose grown, can be seen sitting in a locked birdcage.
During Turnabout Revolution, Crown Princess Rayfa mentions "Besides Nayna and the little birds who visit, I have no one else to talk to". Apollo Justice later thinks to himself in response "Is there anything more stereotypically princess-y than talking to birds?", referencing Disney Princesses and their tendency to interact with animals such as Aurora and Snow White.
During the Halloween season in various Animal Crossing games, there is a character named Jack who wears a jack-o-lantern on his head, wears black, and repeatedly calls himself the King of Halloween, which is presumably a reference to Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more specifically how he appeared during the opening song This is Halloween before jumping into a fountain.
Another animal, a rat, is named Rizzo, which is most likely a reference to the Muppet character.
The opening for the game has the main villain, Gruntilda, asking her cauldron, Dingpot, "Dingpot, Dingpot by the bench, who's the nicest-looking wench?", a clear parody of the Evil Queen's famous phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In fact, Gruntilda's motives in the game were similar to that of the Evil Queen, and even was defeated in a similar manner to the Queen by falling and being crushed by a boulder (although unlike the Evil Queen, Gruntilda wasn't actually killed by this).
Banjo's house in the game was colored blue, which along Banjo's species being a bear may have been a parody of the Playhouse Disney show Bear in the Big Blue House.
Boris the Wolf's appearance bearing a strong resemblance to Goofy's 1930's generation.
The overall vintage themes and cartoons for the horror game franchise Bendy (including the games like Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy in Nightmare Run) are remarkably inspired by the 1920-30s works of Disney and Fleischer.
Some cartoon characters seems to be based on the popular Disney characters:
Bendy, the devil character, is influenced by the Disney mascot Mickey Mouse. Bendy's horns are drawn to always appear in the same style no matter which way he is facing in the animation shorts, the same way as the position of Mickey Mouse's ears. Bendy's whistle heard in occasions of the game also sounds similar to Mickey's own whistling tune in his Steamboat Willie cartoon.
Boris the Wolf's design is surprisingly similar to Goofy.
The ballroom, inside Bendy Land's haunted house dark ride, has few similarities to Disneyland's dark ride Haunted Mansion.
Michael Eisner's name in the appointment schedule board in Bendy and the Ink Machine, from the fifth box with the time 11:30.
Walt Disney Productions/The Walt Disney Company chief executive officer Michael Eisner's name is referenced in the appointment schedule as "E. Misner".
Sillyvision mentioned in the cartoon posters may be inspired by Silly Symphonies.
The fictional animation company Joey Drew Studios (a setting where the game takes place) is based on Walt Disney Studios, while the founder Joey Drew is a reminiscent to Walt Disney.
The "Dreams come true" message quote seen or heard in the Bendy and the Ink Machine game may be a reference to Walt Disney World's slogan "Where dreams come true".
In the Run n' Gun level "Funhouse Frazzle", the car enemies are similar to the ones in Susie the Little Blue Coupe, and the sentient tuba enemies resemble the saxophone king of the Isle of Jazz in the Silly Symphony Music Land.
In the Run n' Gun level "Perilous Piers", there is a billboard for Tyrus Gardens in reference to Tyrus Wong, the art director on Bambi. In the same level, a sign for Iwerks Hotels can be seen.
A113 is the name of an unknown area on the Dead Orbit Ghost fragment Grimoire card.
Destroy All Humans! 2
One side mission involves Cryptosporidium-138 creating a cult for the Furon God, Arkvoodle, whom Orthopox-13, Crypto's superior, explains will return when enough people believe in his image, to which Crypto quips, "You mean like Tinker Bell?"
In the Villi People level of the second game, there is a question asking; "When did the Battle of Hamstrings take place?", one of the possible answers is: "101 D.M."
According to Shigeru Miyamoto, Link's design was modeled after Peter Pan's. Owing to this, Link (or at least his incarnation in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask), similar to Peter Pan, also grew up among children who could not age within a mysterious realm (in Link's case, the Kokiri in Kokiri Forest, and in Peter Pan's case, Neverland).
One character during the Child Timeline is seen prancing around Hyrule Castle Town's square, and when talked to, says "Huff huff! I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!", an obvious reference to the White Rabbit from the Disney adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
There being seven Mountain Minish (not counting their boss) and their having a song relating to their work in The Minish Cap seems to be a reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Ganondorf just before battling Link in Ocarina of Time utters a warlord yell when summoning waves of darkness that disabled Navi's Z-targeting function, with the yell sounding very similar to Shan Yu's warlord yell in the climax to Mulan. It is to be noted that the game was released a few months after the theatrical release for Mulan.
Lego Batman: The Videogame
At the start of the level at which you battle the Riddler, his minions will use umbrellas as parachutes before attacking you. The landings are a reference to Mary Poppins.

In addition, the final battle against Serpent also resembles the Ursula boss fight in the NES and GB versions of The Little Mermaid.
One of Splash Woman's attacks from Mega Man 9 featured her using robotic fish resembling Flounder from the NES version of the aforementioned game. Coincidentally, all of these games were made by the same company, Capcom.
Metal Gear series
In the HD Collection version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, shooting a Kerotan doll for the first time will unlock the trophy/achievement Prince Charming, alluding to both The Princess and the Frog (which had already seen a theatrical release at the time the HD collection had been released) and the fairy tale it was adapted from, The Frog Prince. Similarly, shooting all of the Kerotan dolls will unlock the trophy/achievement It Ain't Easy Being Green, alluding to Kermit the Frog of The Muppets.
When having Para-Medic save, she discusses films that were released either during or prior to the events of the game (ie, during or before 1964). One of the films she referenced was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
A113 is the name of a locked room in the earliest stage of the game.
Pokémon series
In Pokémon X and Y, various references to fairy tales and their Disney renditions are made throughout the game. In Lumiose City, someone refers to having; "One Hundred and One Furfrou" and one of the posters on a digital billboard is a clear reference to the theatrical poster for Saving Mr. Banks.
The Trophies/achievements for completing episodes of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 with all medals, "Only Good Guys Win Medals", "There's a Medal for That", "Sweet, Golden Medal" and "I'm Not Leaving Without My Medal", are derived from dialogue from Wreck-It Ralph.
So does Kaos' Mom, an antagonist of Skylanders: Swap Force.
In the Wilikin Village, a chapter in Skylanders: Giants, there will be a boss battle with Chompy Mage at the end. The island on which you fight looks similar to a Hidden Mickey.
Pre-Star Fox 64 production materials such as the Missions Guide and the Nintendo Power comic mentioned that the main protagonist and leader of the Star Fox team, Fox McCloud, prior to forming the mercenary pilots for hire group, was the leader of a group of bandits who stole from the Imperial Guard in the name of the oppressed, alluding to Robin Hood (who coincidentally in the Disney version, was portrayed as an anthropomorphic fox, just like Fox McCloud was) and his merry band of thieves who stole from Prince John and gave the wealth back to the poor.
Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People series
In Episode 2, "Strong Badia the Free", at the Homsar Reservation, as Strong Sad worries about having an inflammation of the "pretendix", he fears that he may have a "rumble in [his] tumble."
A113 can be seen written on the entrance door of Oliver's math class one of the race track.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
In Jaycee's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, it shows the scene when they were going near an injured woman. On top of the injured woman, there is a lamp that is a reference to Luxo, Jr.
In Lee Chaolan's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending, one of the Tekken Forces hide on top of a blossom cherry tree that is a reference to the blossom tree from the ending of A Bug's Life.

There is a comment on a buff while riding the magnificent flying carpet that says "Don't you dare close your eyes," which is a part of the lyrics for the song "A Whole New World" sung in the film Aladdin.
In a certain area, there are four NPCs named Bambina, Mother of Bambina, Flora and Thudder. This is a reference to Bambi, Bambi's mother, Flower and Thumper from the film Bambi.
Every 10–15 minutes, there is a hunter that will come out and shoot Mother of Bambina, which is what happens to Bambi's mother in the film.
There is a minor boss who wields a Keyblade, which is a reference to the Keyblade weapon in the Kingdom Hearts series.
Mobile App Games
Angry Birds franchise
The overall appearance of Piggy Island resembles Neverland from Peter Pan, particularly the crescent-shaped lagoon on the southern portion of the island, the waterfall in the center of the island, and the mountain range on the northern portion of the island.
