Moana These days, if you combine the forces of Disney
animation and Dwayne The Rock Johnson, you’re probably going to get a hit movie and with
2016’s Moana, that was definitely the case!
The film is very original and tells a great story, but did you catch the sneaky nod to
Frozen that the creators slipped in?
Maui's magical fishhook gives him the ability to shape-shift and in a scene where he tries
to become a giant bird, he shuffles through several transformations first.
If you were paying close attention you definitely noticed that for a split second, he turns
into Sven, the beloved reindeer from Disney's "Frozen."
With the sequel to Frozen in the works, we can only hope that it will include a Moana
easter egg as a form of payback!
The Little Mermaid These days fans are pretty used to catching
some of their favorite Disney characters popping up in other movies, but back in the late eighties
this sort of thing would have definitely been more shocking.
1989’s The Little Mermaid represented a return to form for the studio and the animated
hit made sure to include some fun easter eggs for long time fans to enjoy.
In the wedding scene between Eric and Ursula (who is disguised as Vanessa at the time)
you can actually see The king and the grand duke from "Cinderella" standing in the background.
Whether this is a clue to another theory or just a case of the animators having some fun
is still up in the air.
Monsters, Inc.
People have been looking through Monsters Inc for years trying to find hidden secrets
and fun references and by this point it’s pretty well known that Nemo can be seen when
Boo hands the fish doll to Sulley.
But, did you know that this is not the clown fish’s only appearance in the film.
When Randall rushes into a room while chasing Mike, Sully and Boo, a Nemo figure can be
seen just beyond the child's door.
This one is tough to see but with a keen eye and a pause button, you can totally catch
the sneaky fish.
As if that wasn’t enough, did you notice the trailer that Randall ends up in after
opening a door in pursuit of Mike, Sully and Boo.
If you said that it’s the same exact trailer from A Bug’s Life, good on you!
The Princess and the Frog While The Princess and the Frog may not be
Disney’s most popular and commercially successful film, it does offer a pretty great story and
some fun characters for kids to love.
The movie also features one of the sneakiest secret Easter eggs we have every seen.
At one moment we get a view of the street and in the top right corner, a woman can be
seen shaking out a carpet over her balcony.
But wait, pause the film and take a closer look and you will see that it is no ordinary
carpet and that it is in fact the famous magic carpet from the Aladdin franchise.
We have to give Disney props for this creatively placed Easter egg.
Tangled Tangled took the world by storm in 2011 and
if it weren’t for Frozen coming out a few years later, Rapunzel would probably be the
most popular princess these days.
The movie does a great job of flushing out the classic fairy tale and introducing some
very fun new characters.
As it turns out, the movie as snuck in some classic Disney characters for audience members
to try to spot.
In a scene inside a tavern, Flyn Rider is with a big group of guys but if you look up
in the top right corner, right above the rafters, you can actually see that the famous puppet
Pinocchio is seated watching the show.
Up When people talk about Up, they usually like
to talk about the beginning segment and how brutally heart breaking it is.
But, while most people were paying attention to the start of the film, they may have missed
the secret reference at the end of the movie.
As the movie end, Russell and Carl can be seen eating an ice cream cone on the sidewalk
in front of Fenton's Creamery.
But, as it turns out, this ice cream shop is not made up at all and the real Fenton's
is a local Oakland favorite of the Disney and Pixar staff.
Imagine having your ice cream parlor show up in a Disney movie, that’s what we call
some good press!
Finding Nemo With the success of 2016’s Finding Dory,
we can only imagine that a lot of people went back and re-watched the original underwater
adventure, Finding Nemo.
With all these eyes on Finding Nemo, we wonder how many people were able to catch the sneaky
Incredibles Easter egg that Disney slipped into the film.
When we are at the dentist’s office and we see a shot of the waiting room, we can
see a boy sitting reading a book.
But, this is no ordinary book, and if you pause the movie and look closely you can clearly
see that the boy is reading an issue of The Incredibles comics.
Big Hero 6 Big Hero 6 is a great movie, so great that
it actually took home the academy award for Best Animated Feature in 2015 – an award
Disney has won a lot of over the years.
This film is also technically a Marvel movie, so fans were on the lookout for superhero
themed Easter eggs.
Sharp-eyed viewers noticed that Fred's father, first seen in a portrait in his mansion, looked
very familiar to famed Marvel creator, Stan Lee.
These thoughts were confirmed with the post-credits scene, in which Fred's father, modeled after
and voiced by Stan Lee, returns home to talk to him about the family legacy.
Marvel fans know that Stan Lee makes a cameo in every Marvel movie and we are sure that
they were happy to see him pop up in this animated hit!
The Incredibles Recently, we have started to realize that
The Incredibles may be more important to the Disney Pixar universe than we thought as they
are at the center of a long of theories and fun easter eggs.
Of course, it only makes sense then that The Incredibles movie features one of the most
famous ongoing Pixar Easter eggs.
When Syndrome holds Mr. Incredible in cell 13 of block A1, this is a clever reference
to animation classroom A113 at California Institute of the Arts where many of the Pixar
and Disney animators studied their craft.
The digits A113 appear throughout the Pixar universe and were one of the first repeating
Easter eggs that fans found along with the pizza planet truck and the luxo ball!
Inside Out Inside Out is one of the best movies that
Disney has made in a long time as it achieved some pretty incredible critical and commercial
success.
The film is truly entertaining for the entire family and along with its great plot and characters;
Inside Out also features some pretty sneaky references.
At one point when we are in Riley’s family’s San Francisco apartment, you can actually
see a cooking magazine that features Colette from Ratatouille on the cover sitting on the
table.
It’s a very quick moment that you have to be paying attention to catch, but it’s there
and it probably means even more than we realize.
So there you have it, there is part 2 of our list of 10 hidden Disney secrets you never
