The craziest (cardboard) boat you've ever seen

Our elementary school drama club recently did a production based on The City of Ember.  Little Miss Sunshine starred as Poppy and The Author and The Artist both volunteered behind the scenes.  One of their responsibilities was to design the boat.  A large cardboard box labeled "BOAT" did the job, but it wasn't very interesting.  So, they embellished the inside:

Any geek-related show or movie was probably referenced in some way.  They even threw in a "Volunteer as Tribute" button and a "Silence Will Fall" quote.  How many sources can you identify?

I kind of like The Artist's chibi-style Yoda.

Doesn't Little Miss Sunshine make a cute Poppy?

We inherited the boat after the play was over.  If only I had a clue what to do with it.  For now, it's happily residing in our basement.
