** At one point, Jokey quips famous quote "[[UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt the only thing to fear is fear itself]]" from the thirty-second [[UsefulNotes/ThePresidents President of the United States]]'s first inauguration speech.

** Or a parody of a parody said by the Clown in ''Film/{{Spawn}}''.

** Like [[Literature/TheOdyssey Odysseus]], a captured Marco is enthralled by Marina's [[EnthrallingSiren signing]] while tied to the mast of the Pepper Pirates' ship. And like Odysseus' crew, Handy, Brainy and Hefty have their ears covered with cotton so they aren't under Marina's spell.

** There's even Lancelot, Myth/{{Merlin}}, a {{black knight}}, Morgan Le Fay and KingArthur himself along with his [[{{Excalibur}} sword]].

* Hefty meets a character named [[KingArthur Lancealout]] in "Sir Hefty''".

** Before noticing the four Smurfs falling, Victor mentions on becoming a "[[Comicbook/FreedomFighters free]][[VidoGame/FreedomFighters dom]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM flig]][[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground hter]]".

** The Smurfs even pose like Music/RunDMC during their rap and even do their {{theme tune cameo}} to its beat.

* Hackus saying "It burns!" when he hears Smurfette singing the {{theme tune cameo}} is a shout-out to vampires' weakness to holy symbols such as crosses.

* "Beauty Is Only Smurf Deep": Periwinkle [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs asks her magic]] [[WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs mirror who's the]] [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhite1933 fairest in the world]] [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs and it shows]] Vanity.

** When discussing about the animated feature's take on ''The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'', director Stephan Franck states "We didn't want to do something pretty scary, like the Creator/TimBurton [[Film/SleepyHollow version]]... ".

** Unable to pass the covered bridge, the Headless Horseman tosses his pumpkin head in order to get to Gargamel and Azrael safely inside the bridge much like how [[Film/SleepyHollow another Headless Horseman]] who's unable to pass church grounds claimed Baltus Van Tassel as his victim by snapping off a fencepost, ties it to a rope, throws it through the window like a spear and drags him out of said church.

* When Gargamel sees a moth, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings he whispers to it in an attempt to summon giant eagles]] in order to escape prison.

** At one point, [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} a whale swallows the ship whole]], during a storm no less!

** Like [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Lieutenant Commander Data]], Disney/PeterPan, [[Film/WhateverHappenedToBabyJane Jane Hudson]] and even [[Series/Batman1966 Alfred Pennyworth]] at one point, Timid perfectly imitates the voices of Poet, Tailor, Painter, Handy and Brainy.

* Patrick refers to his boss as "[[Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella]] [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians De Odile]]."

* Smurfette says "No Smurf left behind" while [[spoiler:magically making two more magical crystals]] can allude to the shortened theme "Ohana means family. And family means {{no one gets left behind}}... or forgotten" from ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''. Hackus even says "Broken family!" when Smurfette breaks the glass holding her prisoner.

* According to Brainy, the Horseman can't cross the [[Literature/TheLegendOfSleepyHollow covered]] [[Disney/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad bridge]] leading out of Smurfy Hollow.

* "The Stuff Dreams Are Smurfed Of" = a quote talking about dreams, the most famous modern use of the phrase responsible for much of its popularity was at the end of ''Film/TheMalteseFalcon'' where the lead {{hardboiled detective}} paraphrased a much older expression dating back to Creator/WilliamShakespeare in regards to the titular falcon statue [[spoiler:which turns out not to be of great value]]:

* The movie features a hideous magician kidnapping a young female in a white dress into the underground lake of the Paris Opera House in order to manipulate her and get what he wants. [[ThePhantomOfTheOpera Sounds familiar]]?

* In the Papercutz English translation of "The Astro Smurf", Astro Smurf says "[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory to infinity and smurf]]!" as he begins to take off in his smurfship.

* "Smurfiplication" = [[CaptainObvious Multiplication]].

** Julius Geezer is [[CaptainObvious obviously]] an homage of UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar.

** While riding on top the cab, Gutsy mistakes someone dressed as the UsefulNotes/{{Statue of Liberty}} for a green goblin and Smurfette mistakes another wearing an [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]] costume as a red troll.

* Grouchus Smurfus comes to life and [[BreakingTheFourthWall gives the audience a wink]] at the end of "The Monumental Grouch" much like how the UsefulNotes/{{Statue of Liberty}} does at the end of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail''.
