Most movie audiences head to the theater to see a story exactly as its told, without looking too closely at the plots, characters, or lines of dialogue. But for the diehard fans always searching for added meaning, some twists, names, or confusing quotes can make even a classic movie twice as much fun to wa
The previous two movies in the rebooted Star Trek franchise were filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, so the change of locale is most likely due to the hefty tax incentives offered in British Columbia (which have made Vancouver a popular destination for both film and TV productions). It makes sense that Paramount would try to rein in the budget of Star Trek 3 where possible; anything that cuts down the costs of such an effects-heavy movie is no doubt an attractive prosp
To populate the behind-the-scenes world of arcade games in Wreck-It Ralph , animators included characters from classic video games. Bowser, Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Q*bert, and Frogger are among those that make an appearance. But, in one wide shot of Game Central Station, two characters unrelated to video games can be seen: Vladimir, one of the thugs in the Snuggly Duckling Pub, and Maximus, the proud palace horse, from Tangled , are walking in opposite directions in the station. There’s also a dinosaur that very closely resembles Tiny the T-Rex from Meet the Robinsons , filling the scene with references to other Disney films amid all the Game Cheats|Https://Movietriviafocus.Com/ charact
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
Every fan of Quentin Tarantino knows that the director likes to connect his films into one universe , with characters living in the same world, or some films existing as movies for those characters to see in a theater. But what about a movie that reveals it’s just a movie in its own story? That’s what some fans claim about Jackie Brown . When a character walks out of a movie theater to the sound of its credits score, the music is what’s expected of Tarantino. But viewers will eventually realize that it’s the same music that plays over the movie’s own end credits. A shared universe wasn’t enough: the director had to hint that Jackie Brown was already playing in theaters while the cast was still living through
A good witch or wizard needs a trusty pet, and for Harry Potter, Hedwig the Owl went above and beyond the call of duty. The bird’s dedication to the boy wizard made her a hit with fans, and broke their hearts when she sacrificed her life to protect Harry in The Deathly Hallows . A righteous death for the boy she loved should have been expected. In the books, Hedwig takes her name from a medieval witch or wizard. But in the real world, Hedwig is the patron saint of orphaned and abandoned children – making her the perfect guardian for the movie’s h
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
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
Director John Hughes had a knack for churning out classic movies in the 1980s, and with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , decided to remind audiences of that very fact (in as subtle a way as possible). The license plate of Cameron’s father’s Ferrari reading NRVOUS – “nervous” – fits his character, but it’s the rest of the cars that deliver the nods to the director’s previous work. The plate on Ferris’ mother’s car – VCTN – refers to Vacation , his dad’s plate – MMOM – refers to Mr. Mom , and the principal’s plate was clearly made just for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – 4F
