Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet I am your host Rebecca
Felgate and today I am talking about the Top 10 Scary Disney Easter Eggs!
For those that don’t know what an easter egg is, like my mum….hi mum….no it isn’t
a delicious spring time snack - it means something cleverly and purposefully hidden in like say
a movie or TV show that only super eagle eyed people spot….they’re like little nods
to fans.
Disney is absolutely filled with them.
Honestly, I have watched so many of these movies so many times and I had no idea that
if you pause at exaaaactly the right moment you can find something truly horrifying hidden
in the frame!
Before we get into this list, I want to ask you guys if you have spotted any Disney Easter
Eggs Before – if so, let me know!
They don’t have to be scary ones.
While you are down there leaving me a comment – also tell me how you are doing today!
Why don’t you also hit that thumbs up button and share this video with a movie or
Disney loving friend.
OKAY 10 - Scar is a RUG in Hercules Nobody likes scar…the oddly British brother
of King Mufasa who ends up conspiring to murder him.
Scar is a badddddd lion.
I categorically don’t agree with hunting animals and I find decorating with death a
bit morbid , but it happens – and some people have say moose heads on plaques on their wall
or say polar bears or lions turned into rugs.
WELL anyway In the Lion King, sassy ol Zazu says that scar would make a very handsome
rug….and, well….
It seems he did.
At the end of Hercules’ Zero to Hero sing song, he dances with a lion pelt which he
throws on the ground in the style of a rug………looks a lot like scar, doesn’t it.
Dead, skinned scar.
9 - Clayton’s Corpse in Tarzan I knew that Clayton died in Tarzan, but I
never realised that his dead body flashed before my eyes as a child.
So Tarzan and Clayton fight….
But unfortunately for Clayton, he takes a few wrong moves and ends up falling into vines.
A long drop and a scream was enough for me to realise someone had died in Disney, although
realistically I guess something could have saved him….
But nope…Disney makes it super clear without any of us realising.
If you look what happens when lightning flashes – you can see him hanging.
Creepy….scary.
8 - Swastika on Pongo’s back The late Walt Disney has regularly been accused
of being an anti-Semite – he created a dubious and tone deaf cartoon of Donald Duck dressed
as Hitler reading Mein Kampf and he also hosted popular Third Reich Nazi film director Leni
Refenstahl in his studios.
If all of that didn’t happen then perhaps, I would consider this more of a coincidence,
but have a look at Pongo’s spots on his back in this frame from 1961s 101 Dalmations
? Weird, right.
Honestly I think this is more awkward coincidence than Easter Egg, but a lot of people think
than one of the animators at Disney’s Studios had something to do with it.
7 - Full frontal Nudity in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Adults might not find this so scary …but this is definitely worrying and inappropriate
for a Disney Film.
There is straight up full-frontal nudity in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
To be fair, the character of Jessica Rabbit is pretty not okay for kids anyyyyway, what
with her daily mail headline inducing skin tight dress with a thigh high slash… but
it seems that Disney animators added a minor detail….
She is going commando and we find out in one frame when she is in a car accident and is
flown thorough the air and tossed to the ground.
I get it….
You cant get smooth lines in a dress like that with pants on.
6 - The Lemon Party in Cars 2 I am sorry but what the lemon is going on
here Disney.
If you haven’t heard of the phrase Lemon Party – you must have missed our things
you shouldn’t google series.
Lemon party is most certainly a thing you shouldn’t google andddd it is also one of
those reddit bro chat fist bump gross things that lads lads lads in their late 20s and
early 30s like to discuss over sips of bottled beer in their San Francisco design studios.
Too descriptive…sure.
Anyway, some cheeky animator made a reference to it in Disney’s Cars 2….
And… if you know what it was, you would know that that isn’t okay.
It is so obviously a lemon party, too….
There are lemons in abundance and party hats!
I never noticed this, but now I have I am pretty scared – at number 5 we have Snow
White getting groped by a handsy forest – As Snow White encounters the huntsman, she
runs away into the woods – far into the forest.
The only thing is that the woods are a scary place to be… and as she runs for a few seconds,
the woods appear to be alive and hell bent on groping the young princess.
Seriously….
Look….the branches have fingers.
How terrifying and non-consensual.
Not okay!
4 - The Muses are the Haunted Heads Yey, we are back to Hercules!
I love Hercules!
Hercules and Disneyland share a scary little easter egg!
As the muses sing with Meg in I Wont Say I am In Love – they line up like this….which
turns out to be exactly ….EXACTLY how the head statues are in the haunted mansion attraction
at the Disneylands.
What is Disney trying to tell us?!
I have to say….
Hercules is one of my favourite Disney movies and the haunted mansion is one of my favourite
Disneyland rides…sooo.
3 - Jack Skellington In the Princess and the Frog
I love Jack Skellington, but he is a scary dude.
Undoubtedly.
He is the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, a scary town filled with the macabre – where
children through heads instead of snowballs and the whole place is an absolute scream.
Yeah, we know he is a loveable if a little chaotic guy, but I honestly would be scared
to see him lurking in the shadows…..annnd it seems that this is exactly what he is doing
in The Princess and the Frog.
Have a look at that shadow there….looks a lot like the spooky Pumpkin King, does it
not!
2 - Skull in Gaston’s Eyes.
Gaston is gas-gone after his fight with the beast.
He has nobody else to blame but himself, either.
He breaks into the beasts home, shoots him and stabs him.
He is noooot a gracious loser.
There is no way that he could have survived the fall from those turrets to the ground,
but in case we were amid any confusion, Disney pops in a scary morbid Easter Egg – for
a few terrifying frames, we see skulls in gastons piercing blue eyes.
What a way to tell the audience that he was doomed!
1 - The Shining in Toy Story Have you guys seen the shining?
It is terrifying but it is one of Stanley Kubrick’s finest works.
The story is about a man who goes mad, is haunted by ghosts and tries to murder his
whole family.
Sure.
Film buffs tend to love Stanley Kubrick and Toy Story creator Unkrich is no exception.
The Shining is referenced throughout all of the Toy Story movies…heavily!
The number 237, the number of the spooky hotel room, comes up all the time in the movie….annnd
that carpet – the same carpet from the Overlook Hotel in the horror film.
If placing nods to one of the scariest books and films of all time in a children’s movie,
isn’t a scary easter egg, I don’t know what is.
Well that was kind of fun wasn’t it!
Which of these did you find the scariest?
Let me know in the comments section down below…..also don’t forget to let me know your favourite
Disney movie!

just call the cast members staff members …..yelp…
I think I did!
Songbird’s play had some wild ideas – they said: My theory is that all the stress that
was put on Walt to make great movies lead him to the making of club 33 and that the
alcohol is laced with some mind controlling substance and now I only have two more words
to say, Illuminati CONFIRMED
King Thimio said: What Happened to Danny…… you tell me mate.
A final heart warming comment from Misty Dawn –
People constantly dump there loved ones ashes in Disney land.
Staff sweep them up and there put in the trash so guys that's not dust on that ride its human
remains!!!
