Ron's Gone Wrong - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Marvel and Star Wars B*Bot Skins

As a 20th Century Studios project released under Disney, the film includes numerous B*Bots with skins based on popular Disney-owned properties. Characters like Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Darth Vader, and Stormtroopers can be spotted on various B*Bots throughout the movie, particularly during crowd scenes at school.

Parody of Tech Keynotes

The opening scene, where Bubble CEO Marc Wydell unveils the B*Bot, is a direct parody of classic Apple product launch presentations, mimicking the stage design, presentation style, and grand pronouncements often associated with Steve Jobs.

Dial-Up Modem Sound

When Ron first boots up, he makes the screeching, distinctive sound of a 1990s dial-up modem connecting to the internet. This is a nostalgic nod for older viewers and immediately establishes Ron as outdated and 'wrong' in a world of seamless, high-speed connectivity.
