1. Mulan Poster in Lilo and Stitch: In the movie Lilo and Stitch, personally my favorite, if we take a glimpse into Lilo’s sister room, we can notice a piece of artwork that may seem familiar to you, if you have watched the Disney movie Mulan. If you do, then you are certainly not crazy. It is indeed a poster of Mulan hanging in one of the walls, without the word. Maybe Disney is just to market the DVDs of the then upcoming movie in the shops.
2. Mickey & Friends in The Little Mermaid: You are probably familiar with the famous story of a 16-year-old rebellious mermaid named Ariel who is fascinated by the life on land and falls for a prince. Though the story revolves around the fish-girl who trades her melodious singing voice to struts about on land and flirt with the Prince, the Disney mascot Mickey Mouse and his best friend Donald Duck and their buddy Goofy can be seen hanging around the at the bottom of the ocean for a small period of time. You may have not noticed the squad since it was only a brief glimpse of the trio waiting for Ariel’s concert when King Triton makes his way through the palace riding a giant clam.
3. Magic Carpet in The Princess and the Frog: The flying carpet in Aladdin, who is responsible for getting Aladdin out of dangerous situations and challenges, is spotted during one scene in Disney’s favorite, The Princess and the Frog during the opening sequence of the movie. The scene opens around a town in New Orleans where you can briefly catch a glimpse of a woman airing a carpet from a balcony.
4. Nemo in Brother Bear : Brother Bear might be an unfamiliar name to you, chances are you haven’t seen it. But you most certainly might have seen Finding Nemo. Now this particular one is a long shot. In the scene where two men are fishing and a mammoth comes up knock all the fishes they’ve caught in the water, you can spot Nemo. But for that you will need to slow down the footage or else you’d miss as it happens in a blink of an eye.
5. Pinocchio in Tangled: This one is for the Easter Egg lovers. Tangled is one of the more popular Disney films of this era, the story revolving around Rapunzel and the much lovable Flynn Rider. At one point in the story Rapunzel finds herself in a bandit-clad hideout, now if you really look carefully and notice everything in the background, you will discover a Pinocchio puppet hanging on the wall. Again, this one is very hard to spot and only hardcore Easter Egg hunters can spot.
6. Belle in The Hunchback of Notre Dame: This particular Easter Eggs was very intelligent, as it ties together The Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame wonderfully. During the “Our There” musical scene you can spot Belle in the streets of Paris. It makes sense as both the movies could be set in the same time period. Both of them happen to be set in France as well.
