Making a movie can take years, so it's no wonder Disney filmmakers often break up the
tedium by adding in jokes and easter eggs into movies for their own entertainment
Here's a look at some of these hidden Disney moments almost no one notices
More Cowbell Disney won critical accolades for its thoughtful live-action adaptation of The Jungle Book, which features Christopher Walken as the voice
of King Louie, a giant, fearsome ape. Call me Louie. In one scene, man cub Mowgli is deposited in front of all the human treasures Louie and
his minions have accumulated. Mowgli is intrigued by one item in particular, and he picks it up and shakes it, a cowbell
Unless you somehow miss the significance, that's a clear reference to Watkins' enormously
popular 2000 Saturday Night Live sketch, in which he plays a music producer in the studio
making Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear the Reaper and who persistently demands more cowbell
Looks like he finally got it. Guess what? I got a fever
And the only prescription is more cowbell. Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book shout-out
The Jungle Book movie is not only faithful to the original book, it also gives it a subtle nod
Mowgli has two notable scars. The one on the right of his chest forms a lowercase r, while one on his left shoulder resembles a k
Those aren't accidents. R.K. are the initials of Rudyard Kipling, who in 1900 wrote the anthology of stories that
inspired the Jungle Book films. Canine Crossover The Twilight Bark is a pivotal moment in 101 Dalmatians in which every dog in London is
contacted for help in reclaiming all those puppies kidnapped by Cruella de Vil
Among the dogs who hear the call, Lady and the Tramp from, well, Lady and the Tramp on
a dark street barely concealed in shadow in the scene in separate cameos are Lady and the Tramp characters Jock the Terrier and Peg and Bull Tarzan familiar teapot
Upon her arrival in the jungle, Miss Porter has tea service laid out with a very nice
and very well-known china set. Recognize it? It's the exact same pattern sported by Mrs. Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast
It only appears on screen for a split second, but it made enough of an impression to be
a real-life Easter egg as well. At Tarzan's treehouse in Disneyland, a replica of the tea service sits on a table
And it's movie accurate, down to the Beauty and the Beast-inspired teapot and cups
Big Hero 6 meets Frozen Big Hero 6 was released in early 2014, right on the heels of Disney's wildly popular Frozen
Unsurprisingly, the movie is loaded with Frozen-inspired bits. For example, when hero and robot Baymax take flight over the city, Olaf the snowman can
be spotted. An aerial shot also shows off San Fransokyo's bay and harbor where a ship from Arendelle
is ported. And when the hero crew makes a permanent headquarters out of the wealthy Fred's stately home, the
robot Baymax tries out his weaponry and blows away a statue — a stone rendering of the
villainous Prince Hans from Frozen. Justice! Oh, Anna. If only there was someone out there who loved you
What a jerk. Princess Party Elsa's coronation attracts some pretty powerful people from all over the realm and beyond
Visible among the guests are Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled. It doesn't end there
A scan of a crowd scene at the coronation reveals Tiana from the Princess and the Frog got an invite too
The only one missing is Olaf, but that's probably just as well. Whoa
So this is heat. I love it. Ooh, but don't touch it
Thank you
