We recently revealed some of Disney secrets in their movies in this article, but unlike what we know, there are still many of Disney’s top secret and quite confidential that may change everything for all of us if we’ll be watching Disney movies again. Though may change, we all know it’s for positive thing. I don’t know if you’ve notice these before.. but try to look closer and you’ll wonder why but thankful enough about the information.
In every Disney movies, we always see the code ‘A113’..
Secretly, it is actually the room number where many Disney and Pixar animators learned their craft at the California Institute of Arts.
While the code 23-19 in Monsters Inc. is used whenever an object from the human world enters Monstropolis. The 23rd and 19th letters of the alphabet are W and S. “WS” stands for white sock, the first alien object to be destroyed in the movie.
And the voice of Boo in the same movie, Mary Gibbs, was just a toddler at the time. The production team had a hard time getting her to record, so they followed her around the studio and pieces Boo’s dialogue together from things she said while she was playing.
Sulley from Monsters Inc has more than 2.3 million individual hairs, which are all animated. A single frame of the big guy took 12 hours to produce.
According to his animator Glen Keane, Beast is the combination of seven different animals. He also said that Beast actually has a rainbow bum but nobody knows that but Belle.
To save time and money, Disney use to recycle animations that they had already created..
Instances of this is the ‘Robin Hood’ which had a relatively low budget of $1.5 million..
In the ‘Toy Story’ movie, when Jessie (Joan Cusack) first meets Woody (Tom Hanks), she exclaims, “Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln!” Abraham Lincoln’s mother was Nancy Hanks, a blood relative of Tom Hanks.
And Sid, the villian from the first “Toy Story” makes an apperance as a garbageman in “Toy Story 3.”
In “Toy Story 2,” there’s a single frame which takes a lighthearted joke at Canada. The “How to Defeat Zurg” is priced $4.95 American and $50.00 Canadian.
And a postcard sent by Carl and Ellie Fredricksen from UP, can be seen in “Toy Story 3”, on Andy’s notice board. This could mean that Andy is related to Ellie.
The toolbox on top of the milk crate that Woody is trapped in is a Binford, the same type of tool that Tim Allen used on his television show ”Home Improvement.”
Meanwhile, Aladdin was modeled after Tom Cruise..
while Ariel was based on Alyssa Milano..
Scar is the lion that Hercules kills for one of his trials and then wears as a trophy..
The first stained glass in the prologue of “Beauty and the Beast” has the Latin phrase “vincit qui se vincit”, which translates to ‘He conquers, who conquers himself.’ This is a subtle hint of the entire story arc.
During the song “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” in “Hercules”, the muses sing while appearing as marble busts..
They are in the same positions as the singing heads from the “Haunted Mansion” ride..
When the two kids are trapped under the boulder in “Hercules”, they ask for someone to “call I, X, I, I.” Those are the Roman numerals for 911.
And Marilyn Monroe makes an appearance in ‘Hercules’ from the music video for “Zero to Hero.”
The vultures in “The Jungle Book” are based on and were intended to be voiced by The Beatles but schedules conflicted..
The peddler in “Aladdin” was originally planned to be revealed as the Genie at the end of the movie..
This was why Robin Williams voiced him and also why the peddler and the genie share common appearances – including only four fingers.
The old heretic in ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’..
is Jafar from “Aladdin” in his old man disguise..
In “The Lion King”, the stars in the sky seem to spell out “SEX”, Disney claimed that it was actually “SFX” and had been put in the movie as a signature by the special effects team..
Tiger roars were used in the “Lion King” because lions weren’t loud enough..
The final scene in “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” pans out from a shot of the characters to reveal a newly rebuilt Atlantis. This scene was created by combining hundreds of carefully drawn 24-inch pieces of paper into a massive piece of paper which measured 18,000 inches.
If you look closely at “Brave” you can see the old witch has a wood carving of Sulley from “Monsters Inc.”
She can also be seen whittling the Pizza Planet truck..
The truck makes another cameo in “WALL-E”
It can also be spotted in “Cars”, “Bug’s Life”, “Ratatouille”, “Monsters Inc.”, “Up” and “Finding Nemo”
When the gorillas pick up Professor Porter in “Tarzan”, a small plushie of Little Brother from “Mulan” falls out of his pocket.
In “Nightmare Before Christmas”, Danny Elfman can be seen inside of the street band’s bass guitar. Elfman sang for Jack and wrote the iconic music for “The Simpsons”, “Batman” and many of Tim Burton’s movies.
Dug from “Up” makes a shadow apperance in Ratatouille..
In the video release of “The Rescuers”, a photo of a topless woman was hidden away in two frames. This led to Disney having to recall 3.4 million copies of the movie.
The sorcerer from “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is named Yen Sid, which is Disney spelled backwards.
To achieve a natural skin tone for Snow White, real rouge cosmetics were applied to the animated cells.
Nearly every Pixar film references Apple because it was founded by Steve Jobs.
This single frame from “Frozen” took more than 132 hours – or five days – to complete.
At the end of the credits for “Frozen”, Disney issued a statement on Kristoff’s belief that all men eat their own boogers..
The official voices of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor – a married couple.
Many early Disney characters are motherless because of the guilt that Walt felt over his mother’s death in 1938. After the success of Snow White, Walt bought a home for his parents. A faulty heating system in the home led to the death of Flora Disney by carbon monoxide poisoning.. :'(
Wall-E is named after Walter Elias Disney..
