Elsa's Surprise Guests Were you invited to Elsa's coronation?
No?
Huh, what a shame.
You know who was, though?
Flynn Ryder and Rapunzel from Rapunzel as well as what appears to be Tiana and Naveen
from The Princess and the Frog.
As you're going to find, Disney loved to utilize characters from prior movies in the background.
It's clever... but it may also have just been easier on animators to use premade models.

Jock's Crossover Lady and the Tramp's Scottish terrier, Jock,
may have gotten his start in the 1955 classic, but he's expanded his filmography quite a
bit since then.
When it comes to cameos, Jock is a master of them, having shown up in 101 Dalmatians,
101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, Oliver & Company, Goof Troop, House of Mouse,
and even Phineas and Ferb. 8.
The Monsters are Loose There is no mistaking Mike Wazowski and Sully
have been quite busy since their run-in with Boo.
Or before their run-in with Boo?
Disney timelines can be confusing.
In the frozen tundra of, well, Frozen, Mike Wazowski has a very small, blink-and-you'll-miss-it
cameo as a small figurine in the Wandering Oaken's Trading Post.
Sully's is a little easier to spot in Brave.
If you pay close attention, you'll see him etched into a piece of wood in the witch's
workshop.

Pumba Gets Around After Hakuna Matataing all around the plains
of Africa, Pumba apparently became a world traveler.
Beyond The Lion King series, the musical warthog has sauntered onto the sets of 101 Dalmatians:
The Series, Enchanted, Leroy & Stitch, and It's a Small World: The Animated Series.
Of his more fun cameos, Pumba was briefly used as an avatar for the Genie in Aladdin
and the King of Thieves and appears as a bronze statue at the end of The Hunchback of Notre
Dame.
Some even say during the "Out There" number of Notre Dame, two men are seen carrying a
dead warthog that looks awfully familiar.
6.
All Signs Point to Disney During Maurice and Felipe's journey home in
Beauty and the Beast, they happen upon a series of road signs that kind of look like garbled
and faded nonsense.
Look very close, however, and you'll recognize two names: Valencia and Anaheim.
Those are nods to cities in California directly tied to Disney.
Anaheim is home to the Disneyland Resort while in Valencia you'll find the California Institute
of the Arts founded by Walt and Roy Disney.
5.
The Pizza Planet Ride If you were to pick one character from Toy
Story to make more than a dozen cameos in Disney Pixar films, who you would choose?
Buzz?
Woody?
Maybe Mr. Potato Head?
How about the Pizza Planet truck?
That last one may sound silly, but the pizza delivery truck has made 18 total cameos, including
Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Cars, Ratatouille, The Good Dinosaur, Up, Brave, and Inside Out.
Many of them happen so quick you really need to be looking for it.
In A Bug's Life and Monster's, Inc, the truck not only makes a cameo, it does so in what
appears to be the exact same setting - right next to an aluminum camper.
4.
Hidden Mickey's Disney may have expanded to dozens of universes
and main characters, but it's impossible to forget the one it grew popular off of - good
'ole Mickey Mouse.
Disney is so in love with the big-eared mascot that its animators have found a way to sneak
him into at least 39 movies.
Sometimes they're so subtle, like an insignia tucked away in a pile of fruit.
On the rare occasion, he's been present in full form like as a watch face in Oliver & Company.
3.
Light Reading Material Disney is big on its cameos.
While animators tend to focus on sticking characters in other films, sometimes they
can't help but pay tribute to the history of the company.
A keen eye watching Tangled will notice recognizable book covers in the kingdom's bookshop.
Copies of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid can be seen
strewn about.
Unless you're a true Disney fan that has read the original print books, this is an easy
one to miss.
2.
Disney's Secret Code While watching movies made by Disney's Pixar
studios, you may have noticed an alphanumerical series pop up every now and then.
"A113" appeared in Monster's, Inc, A Bug's Life, Cars, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles,
and even cleverly as Roman Numerals in Brave.
It's not just a random series of letters and numbers favored by the design team.
A113 refers to the room number at the California Institution of Arts where CCO of Pixar John
Lasseter and other Pixar animators got their start.

An Apple a Movie...
Pixar viewers with an astute eye may come to realize that when computers are used in
one of the company's animated films, it's usually running off of an OS X operating system.
There are also dozens of references to Apple, including the Mac iCar in Cars, a frequent
use of iPods in movies like Toy Story 3 and WALL-E, a parody of an Apple advertisement
in Monsters, Inc, and even a 128K Macintosh in Coco's Land of the Dead.
The reason for the overuse of Apple products is that Steve Jobs was one of the founders
of Pixar Animated Studios.
When The Walt Disney Company acquired Pixar, Jobs stepped down as CEO.
