5. Big Hero 6

Cars 2 isn't the only Disney animation with a Doctor Who shoutout.

In the underrated Big Hero 6, lead character Hiro has the exact sort of messy bedroom you'd expect a 14-year-old to have, and on one of his toy-littered shelves (which can be seen several times throughout the movie) rests a model of a white Dalek, nestled between a bunch of other action figures.

It looks like one of those chunky New Paradigm Daleks from Series 5's Victory of the Daleks, a redesign that doesn't have the best reputation among Who fans.

But clearly, someone at Disney felt differently!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
