The video first talks about A Bug's Life, a pretty forgotten about Pixar movie. Pixar tried to make it relevant by putting it in the background of Toy Story 2 as a children's picture book Mrs. Potato-head reads. A Bug's Life's Pizza Planet delivery truck is also featured in Monsters Inc as one of the doors Randall goes through. This movie wasn't working for the public the first time it was released, maybe Pixar should have just given up. To put the movies in context, Monsters Inc and A Bug's Life would be made up stories within the world of Toy Story. Is Disney trying to tell me that toys can actually talk in real life? Or is Toy Story a made up place inside another world?
BUT... this world is then paradoxical because Toy Story shows up in Monsters Inc, as well. Boo has a cowgirl Jessie doll that she hands to Sully in the movie. I don't think Disney really planned out how all of these movies work with one another specifically, but just decided to place random attributes in other movies. Maybe the creators were just bored. Toy Story is also in Finding Nemo. Buzz Lightyear is spotted as a toy in the waiting room in the dentist's office. Toy Story is an easy one to incorporate because toys can be put into almost movie. I wonder if they move around when the human characters are offscreen. A comic book with Mr. Incredible on the cover is also spotter in Finding Nemo. This would imply that The Incredibles are a made up superhero group within the context of the "real" Disney/Pixar world in Finding Nemo. Ratatouille also has an Incredibles logo shown on Linguini's underwear. I guess the world of Ratatouille is on the same "realness" level as Finding Nemo.
A weird one that is foretelling of the future is in Wall-E. The company that is seen all over the ship is "BnL," or Buy N Large. In Toy Story, Buzz's batteries are from the BnL company. I guess Pixar was trying to show that Wall-E could be the future of Toy Story's world in Pixar universe.
Also the article,
These 43 Disney Secrets Were Hiding Right In Front Of Our Eyes. I Can’t Believe I’ve Never Noticed!
,which has a pretty self explanatory title, has some pretty interesting Disney/Pixar secrets that you've probably never noticed.
In the closing credits of Frozen, Disney thought they got away with writing about Kristoff's theory that all men eat their own boogers. The writers of Disney must be very bored, or just curious to see who really pays attention. Maybe they are even trying to attract attention to the credits to get people to stick around and see their names come onto the screen and get some recognition.
One of my favorites that I have seen before on Twitter is Sid from Toy Story showing up in Toy Story 3 as the garbage man. Everyone hated Sid- it serves him right. We get to see him get what he deserved.
The vultures in The Jungle Book were supposed to be voiced by The Beatles but it never happened because of scheduling issues. This is very interesting to me because there is a theory that the vultures represent The Beatles, and not in so much of a positive light. They are seen as opportunistic animals who have the capacity to do good but do not. I'm surprised they ever agreed to the role. They probably hadn't read the script yet.
This is something I have never heard before- There are not many mothers in Disney movies because Walt Disney felt guilty about purchasing the house that killed his mother from carbon monoxide poisoning. It all makes so much sense now. Why is this the first I am hearing of this?
This might be the cutest one of all. The voice of Boo from Monsters Inc was actually a toddler. Disney had to mic her up and follow her around to get all of what they needed for the movie. I will definitely watch the movie differently next time with that in mind.
