Disney Movie Secrets

By Kaye Nemec

Disney movies like The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Aladdin are popular among kids and adults around the world. Their characters continue to come to life as Halloween costumes and at birthday parties and their hit songs are easily recognized (perhaps unwilling to admit it, most of us could probably sing at least one completely from memory).

But perhaps something that most Disney movie fans don’t know is that several of the movies have hidden secrets scattered throughout. If you do not own a copy of these movies, clips of the secrets can be found on You Tube. Several of the hidden secrets are not G rated and are not appropriate for Disney films and, therefore, not listed here.

The Little Mermaid

  • When King Triton enters the stadium to watch Aerial sing, the camera views him from behind. If you look in the bottom left corner of the screen, in the audience, you will find Goofy, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.

The Lion King

  • Some people claim that when Simba lays down on the rock ledge at the end of the movie and dust flies out from underneath him the particles form the word “SEX” in the sky. Others claim this is a shout out to the special effects team that worked on the movie and it actually spells SFX.

Beauty and the Beast

  • As Gaston is being thrown from the ledge at the end of the movie skulls replace his pupils.

Hunchback of Notre Dame

  • Belle, Pumbaa and Alladin’s carpet make cameo appearances.

Snow White

  • In the movie, Snow White has brown eyes but in most of the merchandise she has blue eyes.

Monster’s Inc.

  • Jessie from Toy Story 2 appears at the end of the movie when Sulley returns Boo to her room – she picks her up and gives her to Sulley. The “Pizza Planet” truck from Toy Story makes subtle appearances in many Pixar films such as: Cars, A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, Monster’s Inc and WALL-E.

Lilo and Stitch

  • When Lilo wakes up Nani in her bedroom there is a Mulan movie poster on the wall.

    In the Jungle Book, Baloo says, “shit, we need to get to a tree” while singing the bear neccesities. In Aladin you can find Pinochio, sabastion, & the beast. The dancing scenes are the same in Snow White, Robin Hood, The Jungle Book, & in The Aristocats. In HunchBack of Notre Dame, Frollo is sexually segestive towards Esmeralda, before leaving her in the church (and through out the entire movie as well…hes got a mega crush on her! Lol). Well, there’s a few funn facts for ya, and believe me…there are many maaany more! O.o;;

    “All good teenagers take off your clothes” from Aladdin when the genie is a bumblebee buzzing in aladdin’s ear. Listen closely with the volume loud.

    I think this is one of the best ways to make some some secret on Disney movies also we can make some special effects on it by using new techniques and latest ideas of our own.

    The reason you see the characters from other movies in certain movies is because…Aladdin, The Lion King, Toy Story, etc all came from one writer!

    Just like you can see the word Tron hidden in Transformers three.

    I could tell you a lot more if you wish. The writer is the most prolific screenplay writer of all time, with movies from the eighties till now and beyond.

    Think, Avatar The Last Airbender and Avatar the JC. version are from the the same writer.

      Actually– none of this is nonsense. Especially not Jeanie. I’ve heard it and known about it since 1994. See for yourself… Then feel ridiculous for discounting it right away with nothing to back your statement.
      Each department likes to fool around and leave their own inside joke/mark on the movies.

    A couple that were left out: in Aladdin: when the sultan is stacking his toys before jafar slams the door and makes the tower fall, you can see that one of the toys is the beast(beauty and the beast). Also, in tarzan, you can see in the camp right before the apes start playing music, mrs. Potts and some cups(including chip) are sitting on a table.

    In Aladdin he holds up a rug right around when he gets attacked by a hoard of girls and meets Meg for the second time, the rug is Scar from the Lion King.

    In Ratatouille WALL-E is driving a truck in the end of the movie.

    In Aladdin, when Rajah the tiger is turned back into a full grown tiger at the end of the film, for one frame his face turns into that of Mickey Mouse. It is impossible to when watching the film normally, but I paused it and it is actually there.

    in beauty and the beast, when the town is singing “Belle” at the start, belle is reading the book beauty and the beast.
    she mentions magic spells and a prince in disguise when talking about it and then her favourite part is “when the she meets prince charming but she won’t discover that it’s him ’till chapter three” you see the page and there is a picture of a girl in a blue dress and a beast in human clothes

    as you see in the real version of alice in wonderland she wakes up with dreams as a child, and goes to her father. Cinderella lived with her father. and both of their fathers passed away. and you see in both movies that the mother is rude and crude. another point
