>> Crazy Nate: It’s time we take a look under the sea for some easter eggs.
This one’s a classic but you asked for it.
So it's time to get out your flippers Gents and Gentlets, we're going deep diving for
another movie.
This time everything you missed in Disney’s movie The Little Mermaid.
Bam!
[intro music plays]
The little Mermaid was Disney's 28th Animated Feature, so Disney had some time to practice
hiding easter eggs by then, however they didn’t have very many things to hide at that point
in their life so they had to hide things from other movies.
>> Seahorse: His royal highness, King Triton.
>> Crazy Nate: When King Triton Comes riding in on his little dolphin chariot if you look
in the crowd of mermaids you will see Kermit the frog from Sesame Street right there.
Crazy isn't it?!
>> Kermit: I wounder whom that could be.
>> Crazy Nate: Kermit isn't even Disney.
>> Kermit: As if I didn't know.
>> Crazy Nate: However, don’t worry, they didn’t forget Mickey Mouse.
If you look over here you will see this Mermaid is wearing Mickey ears.
So surely that’s all that we're going to find in the crowd right?
Nope, this crowd is like an episode of wheres Waldo.
Here we can see Donald Duck.
Then over here we see a mermaid is wearing Mickey Ears.
>> Ariel: What?!
>> Crazy Nate: If we go a little further though you can see Goofy is next to Donald Duck,
BUT On Donald's right hand side we also see the real king of Disney himself!
Mickey Mouse!
>> Sebastian: OH, I see.
>> Crazy Nate: How they are breathing under water?
I have no clue, but who cares!
It's Mickey Mouse as an easter egg!
That’s cool enough.
Now Aladdin Wasn’t around yet when they made the movie the Little Mermaid, however
a fun fact is the two Directors of The Little Mermaid, Ron Clements and John Musker also
Directed Aladdin,
so you can see their creative style with the pillow looking a lot like the rug from Aladdin.
>> Ginnie: Yo rug man, haven't seen you in a few Millennial give me some tassel.
>> Crazy Nate: If you remember from my movie Moana, they also Directed Moana which is why
there were a lot of hidden easter eggs to Aladdin in Moana.
I wonder if Ariel was hiding in the ocean somewhere.
I couldn't find her, could you?
>> Hei Hei: AHHH!!
[crab crashes into an hourglass]
>>Crazy Nate: Oh look another hourglass.
That looks suspicious.
>> Jafar: Princess!
Your time is up!
>> Ariel: What's a fire and why does it... what's the word?
>> Crazy Nate: This oil painting not only survived the ocean salt water somehow, it’s
actually a real life painting called Magdalene with smoking flame.
>> Eric: Ah come on Grim, don't start.
Look you're not still sore because I didn't fall for the princess of Glauerhaven?
>> Crazy Nate: Fall for the princess?
That’s right, just like in Frozen he too was a prince traveling to other kingdoms to
look for a princess to Mary.
I wonder if he visited Arendelle too.
We already know Eugene and Rapunzel did.
Speaking of Frozen, some people think that this ship right here was Anna and Elsa’s
parents ship that sunk.
I think it looks more like Hooks ship from Peter Pan.
However you get to use your imagination on to who’s ship it was.
But for the record I’m just saying it's a pirates skeleton that was in the ship not
a king and queen skeleton, thankfully.
[Flounder screams]
>> Sebastian: I better get to the sea king he must know about this!
>> Crazy Nate: Flounder and Sebastian both have their fare share of helping Ariel on
her little adventure, which brings us to today's Survey Time.
[survey time music plays]
Who do you think made a better sidekick?
Flounder, or Sebastian, or both of them, or neither one of them were good sidekicks, let
me know in the comments or vote right up there.
You might of possibly seen online when Ariel signs her voice away to Ursula that there's
a hidden mickey in the little contract.
This seems to be not true though.
[crowd boos]
Here's what it looks like on DVD or Bluray, no Mickey.
[crowd boos]
and I even dusted off the old VHS.
This is what we used to watch movies on, and guess what I found, no mickeys, so this looks
like it's a fake that the internet decided to create.
One thing though if you're trying to learn to draw don’t feel so bad if you have to
trace out from other images, or even copy from something else in real life.
Why?
Because even the best Disney artist of all time were copying from actual images or video
footage.
That’s right they actually filmed virtually everything in the Little Mermaid in real life,
and then they just basically hand drew on top of that image.
Like this scene right here.
This is so they knew how to draw and make things look more realistic.
Fun little fact, walking is actually one of the hardest things to draw and make it look
believable that the little cartoon character is actually walking.
When they don't use human references for walking footage it kind of looks like this.
Kind of like a rubberized person that's walking weird.
This lady right here was the stand in for Ariel and a lot of Ariel's personality was
actually hers.
For example when Ariel is nervous she often fidgets with her hands, or when her hair gets
in her eyes she instead of just moving it out of the way with her hand, she blows it
out of the way.
Even though it's not very effective.
These were all little subtle ticks that the actual actor had in real life and it wasn’t
exactly scripted.
Even the scene when Sebastian almost became lunch, they tried this scene several different
ways in real life, and then they traced out the scenes they liked.
>> Flounder: I’ll try
>> Yoda: No!
Try no.
Do or do not, there is no try.
>> Crazy Nate: Just like Kermit the frog, another easter egg that wasn’t a screaming
Disney character was this guy.
Which one?
The only one that's wearing glasses!
Besides me.
That’s Mr. Limpet from an older movie called the incredible Mr. Limpet with Don Knotts.
Well I guess that’s all that we're going to find in the Little Mermaid right?
Nope.
>> Maid: What are you doing?
>> Crazy Nate: Cinderella was already made before The Little Mermaid was, so they have
to shout out Cinderella.
When Prince Eric almost married the evil Ursula if you look closely at the scene when Max
the dog bites Ursula in the butt, good dog.
But watch this scene closely and you will see King Maximillian and the Grand Duke his
sidekick both made it to the wedding.
And what the heck is going on over there in the background?
Is that Robin Hood?!
Now here’s a few questionable easter eggs that I saw and I’m not exactly sure if they
are easter eggs,
>> Scuttle: Have I ever been wrong?
I mean when it's important.
>> Crazy Nate: but I figured, hey, you're experts too so let's show you the easter eggs
and you get to decide if you think they're actual easter eggs.
>>Sebastian: I musn't over react.
I must remain calm.
>> Crazy Nate: In Ariel’s underwater collection we see a statue that I think looks a lot like
Abraham Lincoln.
What do you think?
Also lastly, check out this head.
It looks a lot like one of the men from Pocahontas.
And yes I know Pocahontas was made after the Little Mermaid.
I want to give a quick shout out to Johnny for sporting the Mixar shirt!
Looking good!
Also I want to say happy birthday to Caleb O. from Patreon!
I hope your birthday was amazing.
If you're new to this show, I hide easter eggs like these inside the video you just
got done watching.
Find where I hid them and include a timestamp of where they are in the video include #Ariel

I hope you had splashing good time finding easter eggs with me today.
