In, "Lobster Tale", Swamp Rat quotes "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy, Hi!". While this may not be the exact lyrics, it bares a close resemblence to the lyrics of "Minnie the Moocher" from, Blues Brothers.
The episode title "Roll Out The Pork Barrell" can be a homage to the, 1930-1940s song, "Roll Out The Barrell". X3
Seems we got a couple of good homages, so far. X3 Let's see what other Homages we can find in "101 Dalmatians The Series". X3

I think it's a good idea to number these homages.

The main plot of "Devil-Age Elder" about a medieval Scottish town that appears from the mist for just one day every 100 years is taken from the musical and movie "Brigadoon."
The subtitle for Dalmatian Vacation PART 1 was "Road Warriors," a clear reference to the 1981 Mel Gibson movie "Mad Max 2" which is known as "The Road Warrior" in the United States (Mad Max 1 flopped in the US so they changed the name).
"Jurassic Bark" is a pun on the 1993 film and earlier book Jurassic Park.
"Cone Head" is likely a reference to the recurring skit off Saturday Night Live featuring Dan Ackroyd that later became a movie.
"Walk a Mile in my Tracks" is an animal-themed version of the old phrase "Walk a Mile in my Shoes."

You know, While I was in, Monte Carlo on the "Disney Cruise"... I happen to notice a "Ralph Lauren" store, and it made me notice something.
Cruellas Fashion Rival, "Ralphie St Lowrent" is possible namesake from the real company "Ralph Lauren". I mean, They both have, "Ralph" in the name and have the Surname beggining with, L. I could be wrong, but it does sound similar. X3
In "Beauty Pageant Pandemonium ", Cadpig mentions about a Film she saw where some Mice made a Womans Dress, this is obviously a mention to "Cinderella".
There is also a Soap Opera in which, Duchess & Princess watch called "As The World Churns". Most likely a homage to "As The World Turns".
In "The Two Faces Of Anita", When Cruella notices her Mask melting from her sweating, she screams "I'm Melting! I'm Melting! Woooaah!" This is similar to the line screamed by the Witch in, Wizard of Oz.
In "It's A Swamp Thing", A Number of the Colonels Photo Memoirs pay homage to a number of things, such as "Washington crossing the Delaware" or "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima".
I have some more Homages, you Pups have any others? X3

I have been thinking of more, Homages and I recon I have a fair amount. X3
Spot is known to make a reference to "Chicken Little", twice in "101 Dalmatians The Series". On occasion is in the Episode "Channels", where whilst the Pups crash the Dairy Awards, A Golden Bucket falls on Spot's head, blocking her sight. Spot then shouts in in terror "The Sky Just Fell!"
Spot also has a Chicken Little homage in "Alive N Chicken", where when Spot crashes into the Dearly Farm Barn doors in panic, Rolly asks her cautiously "Woah, Spot. Is the sky falling again?"
Do you Pups have other Homages you notice? =3

While, Cruellaworld looks like a homage to, Disneyland. Cruella looks at a poster to a theme park called "Two Flags Over Gruteley"...As you can tell, a Homage to "Six Flags". I'd like to expand to make your clarifications more precise. "Two Flags Over Grutely" is an homage to "Six Flags Over Texas". There are a ton of Six Flags theme parks around the US, but that was the specific one they were referring to. Also in "Cruella World", the following Disneyland attractions are parodied: - Dumbo the Flying Elephant - The Pirates of the Carribean - Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln - The Haunted Mansion - The Country Bear Jamboree - The Skyway - Splash Mountain - The Main Street Electrical Parade There may have been others, but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Say, I noticed something. This is sort of off topic, but I think as far as song lyrics go, The Beatles do have some sort of a connection to Disney. As I said before, in "Rolly's Egg-cellent Adventure", Rolly says, "Get back! Get back! Get back to where you once belonged!", which happens to be the refrain to the Beatles' song, "Get Back". However, looking a little farther back, there is another song the Beatles did called "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" There's a lyric in the song that goes: "Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell?" When John Lennon wrote that, he got it from a quote from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves". Quite interesting how we can connect the Beatles to a lot of Disney stuff!

I noticed another recurring homage which happens in "101 Dalmatians The Series" X3
In episodes such as "Leisure Lawsuit" or "Best In Show". There is a magazine, usually read by, Cruella, known as "Vague".
This is most possibly a homage to real Magazine "Vauge". To which shares a similar theme.
The CruellanWorld rides are good, I believe you have the attractions listed. ;3
Let's see what other Homages there are. =3

I am currently watching "101 Dalmatians The Series" Episode "On The Lamb" and I notice some Homages in it. =3
In The Thunderbolt Episode at the start, We see Thunderbolt's Partner, 'Rex Hunter'. Rex is most obviously a homage to, James Bond, Most noted with the Tuxedo, Martini and that he's on a Table about to be shot by a Laser.
The Mad Scientist that both Thunderbolt & Rex face is also known as "Wonko". And is it me, or does he look like a Mad Scientist version of, Gene Wilder's Wonka? So, That's possibly one.
The Lost Sheep, Is also known a, Lambo. Along with being dressed in a Mercenary type feel, Making him obviously a Homage to Rambo. X3
Those are what I can think of for that Episode. =3 You Pups have any other Homages you wish to share? X3

Two-Tone has a habit of repeating herself sometimes, so cut her some slack.

In "No Train, No Gain" the show Horace and Jasper watch called 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Fatulous' is a parody of the long-running syndicated American TV show "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous" which has roughly the same format as shown by the parody. It's host 'Robin Lunch' is a parody of the show's actual host Robin Leach in both appearence and voice.
The eccentric computer billionaire Bill Fences who gets profiled for the show is an in-name-only parody of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. (While the name is a pun and software background are like Gates he's actually not very crazy with his money, he buys books and travels a bit but mostly just keeps to himself and gives most of it away)
While the real Gates is not a railfan (to my knowledge anyway and I am one) the idea of a full-scale train layout like his could be an homage to the Disney company. Many of Disney's older animators were model railroaders and Walt himself greatly loved trains (it's why Disneyland has its own operating steam locomotives).

I just had a thought. o.o
In "101 Dalmatians The Series", The Dearly Farms Animal Political Authority is Mayor Ed Pig.
Could this Political Pig be a homage to George Orwell's, Animal Farm. Where the Pigs seized political power over a Farm.
You think that is a homage, Pups? X3

Here are some homages I came up with:
"Prima Doggy" also has a reference to "Mission: Impossible". The final take that Lucky does and ruins causing Cecil to fire him is a reference to that.
A couple other franchises that are parodied in "The Making Of..." are "2001: A Space Oddity", "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Dougie Houser".
