What Are Your Favorite "Easter Eggs"

I love finding "easter eggs" in Disney Movies. What are some of you favorites?

Yes, this is one of our favorite things about Disney and Pixar, they are so good with easter eggs. Can't find screencaps right now, but I love how Pongo, Jock, and a few other Disney dogs all happen to be in New York during "Why Should I Worry?" in Oliver and Company.

My favorite is the newspaper photo of the Mr. Incredible effigy at the beginning of The Incredibles. It's a wonderful reproduction of the Superman effigy panel in Watchmen, and something that I was NOT expecting at all.

Ok,.. I know I've seen some of these before. Didn't know they were called Easter Eggs, but always enjoyed when they showed up.

It's not so much an easter egg, more of an homage since it was created before Disney bought Marvel Entertainment, but Howard Stark in Iron Man 2 being portrayed as Walt Disney was pretty awesome.

Im glad someone else thought this as well. The whole Stark Expo thing reminded me of his reveal of Epcot to be honest.

The two easter eggs in Brave were pretty good. But my fav has to be Toy Story 3... just in general. There are SO MANY little ones in it that makes you watch it a thousand times, and still may not find everything.

Oh yeah, Toy Story 3 is chock full of them. So is A Goofy Movie (love the Ariel light-switch).

I need to rewatch Iron Man 2, the Stark Expo video is so much like the Florida Project video it's scary! Right down to the way he's sitting.

I'm rewatching a lot of disney movies right now looking for these in background. In first scene of Pinocchio already noticed three nods to Alice in Wonderland. Odd since Pinocchio was 1940 while AiW was 1951 from Disney.

- The books in very start to left of screen, when Jiminy Cricket appears singing. Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are the books if you look close.
- 6 minutes in, Geppetto painting Pinnocchio, Jimminy Cricket turns to see a carving that looks very similar to the Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

Alice has some interesting history, the whole things was kind of Walt's baby. It was released in 1951, but the production of it stretched back to the time of Snow White. And before then there were some shorts done, though they're not really recognizable as the same character. All the other 40s movies were seen as more of a priority, so the project kept getting pushed aside and went through a couple different phases. I think they were going to do it Song of the South style at one point with a combination of animation and live action.

Anyway, nice job spotting those, I'll have to take a look for them.

I think that you may spot more Easter Eggs as you get into later Disney movies, since there is more content for the easter eggs. I'm going to start watching a movie every night. Mainly because I want to remember some of the characters again.

that's interesting on Alice. A common trait of Walt. Once he found something he liked, he stuck with it until he got it right, which sounds like (without knowing all the history) what he did with Alice.

I was watching Monsters Inc and when Boo goes into her room after being in the monster world I noticed she picks up a Nemo fish doll. That was before Finding Nemo came out! She also has a few things from Toy Story in her room.

We were watching Lilo & Stitch last weekend and saw the Mulan poster. It's the little references to other movies and stuff that make them so interesting. One of my favourites is the name of the fancy restaurant in Monsters inc. Harryhausen's, named after the award winning American visual effects creator, writer and producer.
