Disney’s Brother Bear may not be as popular or as critically acclaimed as the studio’s other movies, but the animated feature focused on the theme of family like many of Disney and Pixar’s films. Plus, Brother Bear features a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it nod to Pixar’s notably more popular 2003 release, Finding Nemo , about a father searching for his son. If you don’t look close enough at the group of salmon, it’s easy to miss the clownfish hiding among them. It seems Nemo wasn’t lost at 42 Wallaby Way, Sidney, Australia, but swimming with the salmon in a river on the other side of the wo
It’s established early on in The Princess and the Frog that southern belle Charlotte La Bouff has an obsession with storybook princesses, and especially their dresses, which is how she comes to be friends with Tiana, the daughter of a seamstress. When Tiana kisses a frog claiming to be a prince, and makes a mess of Charlotte’s room after breaking the spell doesn’t go according to plan, more of Charlotte’s book collection can be seen. If you look closely, one storybook on a shelf is revealed to be Rapunzel, the fairytale Disney’s next princess film would focus on in Tangled , giving a nod to the following rele
Most of the hidden easter eggs inside Disney movies only manage to reference one movie at a time, but one shot in Tangled features nods to three other princess films. When Rapunzel and Flynn Rider are poring over an atlas while at the festival of lights in Corona, books referencing other films can be seen. One open book displays the story from the opening sequence of Sleeping Beauty , and two others are the storybooks containing the tales of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid . It’s unclear if Rapunzel has read the fairytales of her fellow Disney princesses, but it’s a nicely hidden references to their fi
In 1986, Steve Jobs purchased the Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas’s Lucasfilm and established the independent company we now know to be Pixar. In honor of the man who also founded Apple, Game Online Guide|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ Pixar has included references to the tech company or Jobs himself in a number of films. Most notably, the titular robotic hero of Wall-E makes the recognizable Mac startup chime when he’s done charging, and Apple products like computers and iPods are shown throughout Toy Story 3 . Finally, after passing away in 2011, the end credits of Brave featured a dedication to Jobs in memory of his contribution to Pixar. That last one may not necessarily be hidden, but it’s worth mention
There are multiple theories circulating the web about all the connections between Disney and Pixar films, and certain easter eggs lend more credence to these theories than others. For instance, one shot from Toy Story 3 confirms that the series’ main human character, Andy, exists in the same world as Carl and Ellie Fredricksen from Up . If you look closely at the bulletin board in Andy’s room, there’s a postcard from the couple that includes the address of their beloved yellow house, before it’s transported to South America, of cou
“Abrams is aware that “we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans,” and admitted. “There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I’ll cop to that.” (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea
It’s not often that filmmakers include messages in the credits, but sometimes they do so in order to offer special thanks to those that helped make the movie or they take the time to add in just one more joke. In the end credits of Frozen , the filmmakers included a message to assure audiences that Kristoff’s assertion that all men eat their own boogers is his opinion only, and it does “not reflect the views or opinions of The Walt Disney Company or the filmmakers.” However, it does seem that Disney, like Kristoff, takes the issue of ingesting nose mucus very seriou
Somewhere out there in the universe, a force is growing under a veil of secrecy and shadow – and not just any force, but THE force. We’re now two years away from the 2015 release of J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars Episode VII and we still know little-to-nothing solid about what Disney has planned for its big re-launch of Star Wars – other than the fact that some familiar faces will be returning to the franch
Backstory: While on their mission to the Sun, the Icarus II crew receives a distress signal from the long-missing Icarus I and decides to rendezvous with the ship. When Capa (Cillian Murphy), Searle (Cliff Curtis), Harvey (Troy Garity), and Mace (Chris Evans) board the Icarus I, their flashlights periodically shine directly into the camera (and out at the audience). At each instance, roughly 49 minutes into the film, director Danny Boyle spliced in hidden frames of (now deceased) Icarus I crew memb
