The LEGO Movie features a prominent visual reference to The Magic Portal, and according to someone who was a student of Fleay's, friends of Fleay who still worked at Animal Logic "made sure that the film [...] payed homage to it" (though it is unconfirmed if the Animal Logic connection did influence the inclusion of the reference).
