The Poopsmith as Tron

Works produced by The Walt Disney Company have inspired many animators, including The Brothers Chaps. The Brothers have also made references to popular Disneyland and Walt Disney World rides and attractions.

TBC have had a development deal with Disney. Both Brothers directed the music video for "Figure 8" from They Might Be Giants' Disney album Here Come the 123s. Matt has since then worked on various Television Animation series, most predominantly Gravity Falls. The Brothers created the webseries Two More Eggs for Disney XD's YouTube channel.
