### Other connections

#### The Great Movie Ride

This attraction was initially set in Hollywood's Chinese Theatre with the framing device of entering different movies from said theatre. With the attraction *Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway*, the same theatre was used to connect to Toontown.

#### Indiana Jones

The Hollywood Studios attraction *Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!* is themed around being an Indiana Jones film-set while nearby the the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost. Outside the attraction, Dr. Dunfor Pullit can be heard excavating underground. Pullit originates from *Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye* where he was a member of the *Lost Delta Archaeological Expedition*, excavating the *Temple of the Forbidden Eye.* Echo Lake also has the shop *Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost*.

At J*ock Lindsey's Hangar Ba*r, Jock Lindsey has coasters from the South Seas Club in his possession of coasters from dining-establishments which he visited.

#### Mickey Mouse & Friends

The location of Toontown which houses the Mickey Mouse characters is located outside of Hollywood and originates from the 1988 film *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*. There are many references to *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* throughout Disney's Hollywood Studios including the office of Eddie Valiant, a billboard for Maroon Cartoons, and Roger Rabbit's hand-prints outside the Chinese Theatre. The Chinese Theatre also connects to the Toontown location of the Yen Sid Valley and has characters like Mickey Mouse as being active in its depiction of Hollywood.
