UHHHHHH… did anyone else see that?
Was that Marilyn Monroe made up of a bunch of stars?
This is one of MANY easter eggs hidden within a movie that definitely went right over my
head.
But I know I’m not alone in this.
We all watch movies and then later on find out things about it that we were completely
clueless about.
It happens, no shame!
Today I’m going to be talking all about Disney, so for all the Disney lovers like
me, this one is for you.
You probably think that since it was basically your entire childhood, there’s no way you
missed anything.
You might even feel a bit cocky about it . Well, I’m here to knock you down a peg and tell
you that you’re probably wrong.
Today I’m talking about the Top 10 Disney Easter Eggs You Never Noticed.
Stick around until the end of the video, I’ll be responding to some of my favourite comments!
Don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe, but for now… lets jump
in.
10) Let’s start with number 10.
Would you believe me if I told you that Robin Williams voice two characters in the Disney
classic Aladdin?
Not 1 voice, but 2.
Whether you believe me or not… and don’t worry I’m not offended… apparently it’s
true!
We all fell in love with the hilarious blue Genie, which brought Robin Williams into a
lot of childhood memories.
Although he was just a bright-blue cartoon, the role of the Genie was meant to appeal
to young people through his faintly dangerous, yet honest and real character.
The year the movie came out, the Golden Globes was moved to create a special-achievement
award just to recognize William’s performance as the Genie.
SO I think it’s fair to say that we would never notice Williams voice as another character
since we were so drawn to the iconic Genie.
However, during one of the first scenes in the movie, there is a vender which was originally
intended to be revealed as the Genie, we just didn’t know it.
If you are shocked you didn’t realize the voice similarities, then I bet you’re even
more shocked you didn’t realize both characters only had 4 fingers!
Yup.
I feel dumb.
9) Here we are at number 9.
What does Disney’s Hercules have to do with the legendary model/actress Marilyn Monroe?
Nothing as far as I’m concerned.
But apparently I missed the hidden cameo Marilyn had in the original 1997 movie.
Disney tackled Greek mythology in the animated feature, by telling the story of Hercules-
a son of Gods.
Hercules was snatched up as a baby by Hades and forced to live among mortals as half-man,
half-god.
That doesn’t sound all that bad?
As Hercules grows into a teenager, he needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove
himself worthy of living with the gods of mount Olympus.
The movie is a classic animation with a classic soundtrack.
But I’m still not understanding where Marilyn Monroe fits into this?
During one of the musical numbers “Zero to Hero”, she can be seen in the constellation
of stars.
I definitely missed that one.
Did you?
8) Taking our number 8 spot is from the Disney movie Enchanted.
Fact: there are a ton of Disney references in the movie.
The film was actually built on them, but I bet you didn’t notice the cameos that were
made by some of the Disney greats.
Jodi Benson (aka the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid) has more than just a cameo,
but actually plays the role of Sam.
During one of the office scenes, Jodi plays the secretary.
I had no idea?!
Judy Kuhn (aka the singing voice of Pocahontas) also makes a cameo in the movie.
In one of the more comedic moments of the film, Judy plays a pregnant mom with 3 kids
who dishes out the sass to Edward.
Another one that went right over my head.
If you thought that one was a tough notice, Paige O’Hara (aka Belle from Beauty and
the Beast) makes a more subtle cameo.
During the scene where Edward is lying on the bed watching tv, you can find her in the
soap opera he’s watching.
Crazy right?
Who would’ve thought!
Not me.
7) Coming into number 7 we have a hidden easter egg that you probably missed from Disney’s
Tarzan.
Apparently human characters aren’t the only cameos that are made, but also stuffed dogs?
If you haven’t seen Mulan, shame on you, her younger brother has a small dog plush
toy.
It seems normal that the dog would remain in that movie with its rightful owner, but
apparently the little plushie made an appearance in the Tarzan movie.
During the scene where the gorillas are hanging Professor Porter upside down, something falls
out of his pocket.
And I’ll be damned; it’s the little plush dog toy from Disney’s Mulan.
See for yourself!
I can’t be the only one who is mind boggled by that.
6) At number 6 we have the Disney/Pixar classic Monsters Inc.
Who would forget such an iconic movie?
Don’t forget people, Disney bought Pixar back in 2006, and has brought us many family
favourites ever since.
It’s easy to remember some of our favourite characters like Mike and Sully, but do you
remember Boo?
She’s the two year old who basically sets the whole story in motion by escaping from
her bedroom into the city of Monstropolis.
Also known as the Monsters Inc.
Factory.
Well, only real Monsters Inc fans will remember that Boo isn’t her real name, but was the
name that Sully gave her.
It’s what I’ve been calling her ever since.
But like everyone else, she has a real name, and her real name is Mary!
You can see it written on a piece of paper in Boo’s bed in one of the scenes.
Not only that, but when the book was released in 2015, we found out her last name as well,
which was Gibbs.
You think I’m done don’t you?
Well I’ve got some news that might surprise you.
I’m not.
Mary Gibbs isn’t some random selected name, it’s actually the name of the voice actor
who plays.
Okay my mind is officially blown.. still don’t believe me?
Here’s a picture of her at the premiere!
5) Alright guys put your conspiracy hats on because this one still has people thinking
that it can’t be real.
At number 5 we have Finding Nemo, meets Jaws.
Apparently the hilarious shark character Bruce from finding nemo, was actually named after
the mechanical shark used in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.
While filming Jaws, several model sharks were used for filming and Spielberg reportedly
called them “Bruce”.
Not only the name, but the story of the Bruce actually matches up with facts about great
white sharks.
Great whites are apparently known to leave their children at birth due to their ability
to swim.
In finding nemo, Bruce explains he never knew his father, so maybe he set up the veggie
shark support group for some extra love and support.
Diving deeper into this theory, when Dory and Marlin try to escape the angry Bruce,
they hide in the torpedo tube and then fire it into his mouth.
This could replicate the climax of Jaws when the shark is blown to kingdom come by a scuba
tank.
What do you think?
Is this something we didn’t notice or is this something that’s not actually a thing?
I’m not sure I can hop on board with this one.
It all just seems like a coincidence.
4) at number 4 we talk about some of our favourite Disney princesses, and their gloves.
A random topic I know, but it actually has more significance than most of us probably
realized.
Cinderella, Belle, and princess Tiana all wear opera gloves.
I always noticed they wore gloves, but like, isn’t that just to add some extra detail
to the Halloween costume?
Apparently it’s a lot more than that.
The reason these princesses all wear opera gloves are to signify that they MARRIED into
royalty.
Princesses who were BORN into royalty, don’t wear them, they show off their bare hands.
A small detail that I never noticed, I mean you’re a princess.
Does it really matter if your hands are showing or not?!
Walt Disney would probably say yes.
3) Who knew that props could be a cameo?
In at number 3 we have the Spinning Wheel.
The Spinning wheel is an enchanted object used in the Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.
After one touches the spindle, it will send its victim into a deep ageless sleep, where
they can only be revived by True Loves kiss.
Awwww.
So cheesy.
I bet you didn’t notice that famous spinning wheel in Disney’s newer hit Tangled.
It makes a minor cameo in Rapunzel’s room as one of her bedroom items.
2) Speaking of cameos, here’s one that if you’re like me, you’ll be pretty upset
that you missed this one.
As a kid I was so intrigued by all the graphics in Disney movies, that there’s no way I
would’ve caught this.
But I’m 26 years old now and feel pretty foolish that I didn’t catch on after all
these years.
In the classic The Little Mermaid, we can all remember the dramatic entrance of King
Triton.
He came out with his big glowing spork wand thing, with intense music, and a crowd full
of people waiting to see him.
He was the king so it makes sense.
But I bet you didn’t realize the 4 cameos who were in the crowd waiting for the king.
Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Kermit, all stood together at the bottom of the castle, meshing
in with the crowd.
WHAT?
Why didn’t anyone tell me?!
Looking back at these pictures now, it’s actually more noticeable than I thought.
Yet…
I never noticed.
*shakes head*
1) And last but certainly not least here we are at spot number 1.
Where I completely blow your mind and might possibly embarrass you a little bit.
We all know the word Disney really well, we’ve seen it everywhere, for years.
Yet the word was right in front of us, and most of us didn’t even realize.
If you remember the classic Fantasia movie, you’ll also remember the powerful sorcerer
Yen Sid.
Let me say it once again…
Yen Sid.
Have you caught on yet?
Yen Sid is Disney spelt backwards.
Mind blown- I KNOW!
And yes this was intentional.
According to filmmakers, Yen Sid was modeled after Walt Disney himself right down to signature
features that the animators recognized.
Walt did not pick this name for the character, but was given to him by the animators.
They wanted to pay tribute to the big man himself.
It would’ve been more of a tribute if people actually knew it was happening all these years!
But hey, it’s the thought that counts.
