The beginning of the Jonas Brother's movie was them running away from fans, and they did that because of AHDN. In another part of the movie, the Beatles are on the television.
And in England at Disney World they have a lot of Beatles stuff, and they had a picture of John officially ending The Beatles in the hotel I stayed at there.

Haha…that moment when you realize YOU are the mom.
At least, that's what I would do.

It's not Disney, but the Beatles are mentioned (in a negative way) in Goldfinger.
James Bond says, "drinking a martini that's been stirred [or something to that effect] is like listening to the Beatles without earmuffs."
Ironically, decades later the same Sean Connery would record a spoken version of "In My Life" for George Martin's CD

It might have been put in the script so that you remember and talk about it. Boost the publicity. How dare they say that!!

Good point.
But in 1964, "product placement" didn't exist the way it does today.
And who in the Beatles' entourage would have had the ear of the Goldfinger script writers?
I think it's more likely that the script writers wanted to put in some current events to make the movie seem, well, current; what more current than to reference the Beatles? And if you were beyond the teenage years, the consensus was that the Beatles were awful.

I didn't mean that The Beatles had something to do with the script. I mean, why would they write something like about themselves. I get your point though.

In relation to the Jonas Brothers pic…
I also agree with George's pick having more talent than the three of them combined 
Any other Harry Potter fans?!

You are welcome. The site mentions one of my top 3 all time favorite movies, Grosse Pointe Blank. This is the outfit that led Joan Cusak's boss (played by her brother John) to refer to her as Sgt. Pepper.

Though not Disney movie, there is John's reference in new movie Ted, where guy says he owns John Lennon glasses and that they were very expensive.

I think this was referring to the noisy fans and not the Beatles themselves. I do recall hearing Long Tall Sally on a Lizzy McGuire episode, although I think it was Little Richard's version. Time to search deep in my memory bank.
"When I was a robber *Piano Chord* in Boston Place"
"Let's hope this turns out pretty darn good huh"
"Pete may be the best, but Ringo is the star"
Paul:"Don't be nervous John"
John:"I 'm not"

Gerell,
Welcome!
Good thought, but this is why I think James Bond is referring to the Beatles themselves: in 1963-1964 the Beatles were uniformly considered by the press to be (excessively) LOUD (and bad – at least until the movie A Hard Day's Night came out. Then they suddenly became the songwriters of the year).
One publication called the Beatles the loudest thing in Great Britain since the dismantling of the World War II sirens.
Bond's statement would therefore have been in step with the opinion of the general public.
But yes, the statement applies to the audience too!
