Today in school I had to watch "West Side Story" and I noticed something interesting. The episode of pokemon called "Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon" is based off of "West Side Story". In both cases you got two people/pokemon named Tony and Maria who love each other and in both cases there friends/trainers don't want them together. After I realized this I started thinking back to other episodes to see if they were based off of other movies or actors and I found 2 more that are based on actors. The first being Quincy T. Quackenpoker from the episode "The Wacky Watcher!" He's based off of Groucho Marks. The second one I've noticed is in the episode with the murkrow. In the beginning they introduced themselves the same way the 3 Stooges do. The only other things I've noticed that are based off of movies are the titles of the episode "Good Quil Hunting" and "Mewtwo Strikes Back" which are both based on "Good Will Hunting" and "The Empire Strikes Back".
Has anyone else ever noticed this or are know of anymore movie/actors that have provided inspiration for the show?
