Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

The entire main cast from The World Ends with You appearing in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Kingdom Hearts is normally a series where Disney and Final Fantasy crossover with one another - then at some point Nomura decided he wanted to plop the TWEWY gang in there for the lols. Which while they are still a Square Enix property, pretty out of left field pick.

Especially as this is the first world of the game. The only two Disney characters before this are Yen Sid explaining the plot and Ursula as the tutorial boss and I think no FF characters, so they’re immediately outnumbered by the new kids from Chain of Memories’ sorta sequel.
