Computeropolis: The Deep Web/Trivia

Cultural references

 * Computeropolis: The Deep Web plays a homage and parody of notorious toy/baby/nursery rhyme channels known as Elsagate—a phenomenon on YouTube which consists of kids channels/videos with some inappropriate content NOT for kids—on YouTube.
 * In fact, the Universal Animation Studios staff took some additional inspiration from those types of channels, especially Animated Surprise Eggs TV, which is referenced in this film.
 * There is a reference to Despicable Me in this film. When Rulio says that he will create a new army of minions once he puts the Golden Gem on his new machine, Zola asks him, "You mean the yellow ones...?" but Rulio quickly replies, "No, not those stupid little guys!".
 * When Rulio and his minions capture Peri's friends, Ella says "My Greek goddess Eris is gonna love this!". This could be a possible reference to Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas due to Universal's purchase of DreamWorks Animation in 2016.
 * The 2D animated sequences in the end credits look extremely similar to those of Universal's 2D animated features like Ama and the Mysterious Crystal, Paint World, Mistress Masham's Repose and Magina, as well as Disney animated films.

Cameos

 * Jamo and Keena of the Paradoria series appear on a graffiti, an allusion to Paradoria 2.
 * A clip of Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000 can be seen in one of the TV screens.

 * Computeropolis: The Deep Web is the first installment in the Computeropolis series to be presented in 2.35:1 ratio, much akin to Shrek Forever After (2010), Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) and Despicable Me 3 (2017), with the former two also being fourth installments in an animated film series.
