1) In Mulan (1998), Mulan touches her hair a lot because the animators noticed that Mulan’s voice actor, Ming-Na Wen, touched her hair a lot while recording. So, they added it to the character.

9) In Shazam! (2019), Mr. Moran is named after Mickey Moran, the hero of Marvelman, a superhuman arrangement made by British distributor Miller and Son so they can keep printing new issues after Shazam’s American distributor/rightsholder was sued by DC because of Shazam’s similitudes to Superman.
