Most of us have seen Disney classics like The Lion King, Beauty And The Beast, and The Little Mermaid more times in our lives than we could count. With many of those movies we grew up with, they’d then return to screens as a Christmas special, or we’d put them on for our own kids in a bid to share that sweet sense of nostalgia. We turned into adults, but our love for Disney stayed.
So, for Disney aficionados like us, we have a special treat. Get your popcorn ready, ‘cause thanks to the wonderful corner of Reddit r/MovieDetails, we have a precious collection of hidden gems and tiny details spotted in Disney movies.
Let’s give a big round of applause for the Redditors gifted with an exceptionally sharp eye for details that were able to fish out all the interesting things we don't really notice. Have something that’s not on this list? Share the little details you've spotted in the comment section below, so we can all have the pleasure of turning into Disney-fueled detectives.

"Striking a match" is horribly clunky and forced, obviously been put in there for the later scenes. In the context given, you'd make a match, you wouldn't strike one.

"Most details are definitely there for the audience to find, but I think a lot of it also just comes down to creative people wanting to have fun with their projects. Speaking from experience here (though I work on video games, not movies), it really is a lot of fun to add little Easter eggs and whatnot just for the hell of it," Niiue said.

Could be, could also be that it later eats the heart, or it could just be a joke.
We were also interested to know which production houses and directors are most adept at hiding Easter eggs in their movies. According to the moderator, some production houses and directors are more into hiding Easter eggs in their movies than others. "Besides the obvious choices like Pixar, I think Edgar Wright is another example of someone great at hiding details in his movies,” Niiue said and continued the list: “Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, and Hot Fuzz are the first ones that come to mind in this regard. You'll find that his movies tend to get featured on this subreddit a lot, which I think reflects his skill as a director."

In Disney's 'Aladdin', the Genie sings "Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves, Scheherazade had a thousand tales." Scheherazade actually had One thousand and one Arabian tales, but one of them was the tale of Aladdin.
Marianne 4 years ago
There are not really exactly 1001 tales, it just sounds nice. Also in the Arabian original, many stories were totally different and English "translators" just added more stories that they thought were better suited for European audience. If I remember correctly, Aladdin was one of those.
Lilith the Demon Panda 4 years ago
stories of Shahrazad as we know them are not Arabic but Persian... and even not Persian originally, these legends can be traced back to India or so... so probably the Persians just collected the stories from half of the continent and put them together... Arabs just assimilated them later

Totally unrelated here but my man was always talking about an Arabian Nights book he had when he was a child and how much he loved it, so I found an old one in an auction on eBay and got it for less than £10, it was published in the 1930's, almost a hundred years old now!

The moderator of the Movie Details subreddit also shared their personal favorite hidden movie details. "Personally, I liked the way Scott Pilgrim had a recurring number motif tied to the Evil Exes. In the scenes before each fight, there are numerous references to the corresponding Evil Ex; for instance, right before the fight with Lucas Lee, the main characters pass by two crossing signs with an X design, a reference to Lucas being the second Evil Ex.”
“These kinds of references even continue after the Evil Ex in question is introduced, such as Lucas Lee saying (twice) that it will take 'two minutes to kick [Scott's] ass' and later fighting Scott accompanied by his stunt doubles.”

In Disney’s “The Lion King” The line “What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?” was improvised by Timon’s voice actor Nathan Lane. The director liked the line so much, he decided to make a scene for it.
Leodavinci 4 years ago
The original Lion King had the single greatest joke (at Disney's expense, btw) to ever occur in a Disney feature when Scar demands Zazu sing him a song. As Zazu starts to sing "It's a Small World", Scar immediately grabs him by the throat and says "Not that song". Every adult who's been on that ride identifies with Scar at that moment. Can't believe I've been on it at least four times.

Hercules movie subverted everything about the Greek Mythology's real Hercules. To begin with, Hercules is a semigod, that is, son of Zeus and the mortal queen Alcmena. Hera/Juno just hates him. She proves no motherly feelings for little Hercules. And Hades only appears when cruel and cunning Euristeos, adviced by Hera (who wants Hercules dead), orders him to bring to his palace Cerberus, Hades'three-headed dog who guards the entrance to Hell, so nobody can leave. Silly movie. Worse than what Disney Studios made with Pinocchio, who in the original story was a young scoundrel who finds redemption, very in the way of the biblical prodigal son, and turned the character into a nice, somewhat silly puppet. Nonsense.

Thats the whole plot of the movie though. No one thinks Judy can be a Police officer, because she is a rabbit (prey).

Now that I’m thinking about this really for the first time, I’m guessing the main thing is it makes it more believable that everyone else in the palace believes that Ursula is the one who rescued him. Eric is just under a magic spell. However, I am betting in his days of trying to find the mystery girl, he gave descriptions of her to his staff for them to look for her too. His right hand man even says it appears this mystery woman exists after all, which could also imply she matches the description that Eric previously gave him.

This is most likely because hand-drawn animated movies take a lót time, especially complicated moves like this.

Attention to fine details is the difference between computers and craftsmen doing a restoration.
Disney movies are often more complex than they seem, filled with intricate details and hidden gems not immediately apparent on first viewing. This thematic exploration is reminded to us in Ratatouille, where a deep dive into the animation reveals subtle yet meaningful Easter eggs, enriching the viewer's experience.
We invite you to explore these minute details further, much like the ones highlighted in Pixar's masterpiece.

An euphemism is a "nice" word or phrase that stands in for something more unpleasant. Like "between jobs" instead of "unemployed". But I am not sure what is meant in this scene.
