10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Movies

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 over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
