Elements of Disney in Iron Man II

::Minor Spoiler Warning for Iron Man II::

While seeing Iron Man II today, I couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between Howard Stark and Walt. The main similarity would be Walt's plans for Epcot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxC_a7qnGi8&feature=related) and Howard's model for his city. Also, there is a strong physical similarity as well.

I realize the script for Iron Man II was written LONG before Disney had purchased Marvel, but that would make this connection all the more believable, since that is probably something that Disney wouldn't have wanted to be included.

This one is much more of a coincidence, but there have been tons of rumors that Walt left behind video for people to view after his death. It's pretty much all been debunked as mere myth, but it is there in the film.

And lastly, a lot of the rays that Tony used to create his new power source looked an awful lot like Wayne Szalinski's shrinking ray, didn't it? Once again, this is all probably a lot of coincidence and not much else.

I just saw Iron Man 2 this evening and noticed the things that were mentioned. It would be very interesting to find out exactly what they were going for with these elements and if it really was a nod to Walt.
