The Poopsmith as Tron

Works produced by The Walt Disney Company have inspired many animators, including The Brothers Chaps. The Brothers have also made references to popular Disneyland and Walt Disney World rides and attractions.

TBC have had a development deal with Disney. Both Brothers directed the music video for "Figure Eight" from They Might Be Giants' Disney album Here Come the 123s. Matt has since then worked on various Television Animation series, most prominently Gravity Falls. The Brothers created the webseries Two More Eggs for Disney XD's YouTube channel.

Appearances

• Strong Badia the Free — At the Homsar Reservation, Strong Sad worries that he may have an inflammation of the pretendix and then fears that he may have a "rumble in [his] tumble." This refers to Winnie the Pooh, who often says that he has a "rumbly in [his] tumbly."

At the end, he says to Pom Pom, "Happy Carousel of Progress!", which refers to an attraction found at Walt Disney World.
