The Vultures From The Jungle Book
The Beatles reach the height of their popularity in 1967. That also happened to be the year The Jungle Book was released by Disney. It’s said that the Beatles’ manager suggested that Disney Studios should design the vultures based on them. The members of The Beatles were supposed to voice the characters and sing a song named That’s What Friends Are For. However, John Lennon suddenly refused, resulting in the song being rewritten as a barbershop quartet.

Pocahontas
It’s a known fact that Pocahontas was based on a real woman. In fact, this woman did actually save colonist John Smith from execution. However, she didn’t marry him, seeing as she was only a child at the time. Another inspiration for the Disney character – at least in appearance – was Irene Bedard. She oftentimes portrayed Native American characters in movies. She dubbed for Pocahontas and was a physical model for the character.
