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
Directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord beat the odds when they made a movie Fun facts|Https://movietriviafocus.com/ about LEGO a worldwide hit. The film even included Superman and Green Lantern, played by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, the stars of their previous surprise hit, the rebooted 21 Jump Street . It wasn’t the only nod to the story of undercover cops, though. When Emmet’s apartment is first shown, a poster can be seen advertising the movie “Teen Copz,” an obvious reference to Jump Stre
It seems Disney animators never miss a chance to fill crowd scenes with iconic characters from other movies and cartoons. When King Triton assembles the underwater masses in the opening scene of The Little Mermaid , eagle-eyed viewers can spot Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey Mouse in the crowd. And it isn’t just Disney mascots who get in on the fun, either: Kermit the Frog can be seen just a few rows behind t
Most fans of The Wachowski’s game-changing sci-fi series know that The Matrix ‘s plot forms a perfect circle: the hotel and room 303 where the movie begins is also the same place where Neo becomes “The One.” But fans probably missed an even bigger example. The first movie ended with a serious phone call, as Neo told the Machines that he planned on freeing human
When James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991, it did so with a theme song: “You Could Be Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. But that wasn’t always the plan. James Cameron has never admitted he made the film with the band in mind, but there are some obvious clues. Not only is John Connor’s best friend wearing an L.A. Guns t-shirt – one of the two bands which would lead to GNR – but when the Terminator finally arrives to take on the T-1000 in a shopping mall, he reveals his gun hidden in a box of, you guessed it, roses. Arnold Schwarzenegger personally convinced the band to sign on, making sure the movie’s sales pitch was a successful
There’s one fact that no one can deny: the Disney animators are most certainly dog people. And what’s better than a canine adventure? How about a shared universe of them? 101 Dalmatians has enough spotted dogs in a single family to worry about, but when the call goes out that the pups are in trouble, Lady and the Tramp can be seen in the city streets, along with their canine co-stars Jock and Peg. The litter’s father, Pongo also makes a Cameo in Oliver & Company, along with Jock, Peg, and the always loyal Tru
The 2013 Disney film, Frozen , catapulted to massive popularity with help from the catchy and inspirational “Let It Go.” The film also features a handful of references to previous Disney and Pixar movies, like Rapunzel and Flynn Rider from Tangled attending Elsa’s coronation. Some even argue Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog also attend the event. However, you have to look more closely in other scenes to catch Frozen’s nods to Monster’s Inc. and the Mouse House. At Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna a wooden figurine of Mike Wazowski is sitting on the counter, while a Micky Mouse doll is hidden on a shelf. However, Anna decides to buy winterwear instead of these references to other Disney and Pixar characters, which we’re sure was the best cho
It may be unexpected, but apply the Bible to the story, and some answers are possible. The moon LV-223 is likely a reference to Leviticus 22:3, a warning from God that “…if any of your descendants is unclean, and yet comes near these sacred offerings…they shall perish before the Lord.” To make the twist on Christianity even clearer, Scott had planned to explain that an Engineer sent to save mankind 2,000 years ago was crucified instead, but decided that was a little too on the n
Look, in my own opinion, I’ve never been a big fan of prequels/sequels that go out of their way to shoehorn every single familiar or fan-favorite character into the new narrative. Prequel appearances by characters like C-3PO and R2D2 (oh-so-conveniently present in the saga of Anakin Skywalker as they were in the saga of Luke Skywalker) still irks me almost as much as Jar-Jar Binks. On the other hand: an appearance by Ghost Palpatine is intriguing, since we’ve never seen Sith ghosts onscreen before – and if we’re going that route, an appearance by trust-old Obi-Wan’s spirit doesn’t seem like all that bad of a cameo to
When Pixar was made an official branch of Walt Disney Animation, the tradition of Easter Eggs and cameos was just one thing both studios could agree on – even if it made no sense to the story being told. It’s strange enough that among the wooden carvings being sold by the Witch in Brave is the same Pizza Planet delivery truck included in every Pixar film. But the image of Sully, the furry star of the wildly successful Monsters, Inc. shows that even witches need to worry about what’s hiding in their clo
