      The opening sequence is an "inverse" version of the one in Contact, zooming in from the universe to earth. The soundtrack follows this as well

    • Communion (1989)

    • Dances with Wolves (1990)

      Lovelace yells at Mumble from the top of a cliff like Wind In His Hair yelled at Dunbar.
    • The Pebble and the Penguin (1995)

      Hubie is Similar to Mumble, and Marina is similar to Gloria. Both movies have the main characters fall in love. Both movies are musicals, both movies have the main character get chased by a leopard seal, and killer whales. Penguins in both use pebbles to get a mate.
    • Alien vs. Predator (2004)

      A sinking excavator/crane is very reminiscent of the sinking alien queen, immediately followed by references to aliens
