Disney cartoons are a staple in many homes. They are often enjoyed by children and adults alike. However, there are some hidden details in these cartoons that can make us look at them differently. In this blog post, we will explore some of these details and see how they change our perception of these beloved characters!

Pinocchio’s Nose Actually Grew Only Once during the Movie

We all remember the scene where Pinocchio tells a lie and his nose starts growing. What we don’t remember is that this only happened once in the movie. Anytime anyone mentioned Pinocchio the first thing that comes to the mind is the thing about nose getting bigger. Even though his nose getting longer is one of the most famous aspects of his character it actually only happens once in the movie.

His nose growing only once is actually symbolic. This was to show the positive side of his character, that he was learning from his mistakes and becoming the protagonist of the movie.

101 Dalmatians Has a Total of 6,469,952 Black Spots

The black spotted white dogs in the 101 Dalmatians have to be some of the cutest Disney characters but have you ever wondered how many black spots actually appear on the screen throughout the movie. Believe it or not but the number of times the black spots appears is a whopping 6,469,952. The number was determined by taking a frame by frame analysis of the film and counting each and every single black spot.

Seems like a pointless thing to count the black dots but once you see how many times the black spots appear you just cant stay without being surprised.

Rapunzel Is the Only Princess with Green Eyes

You might think that Rapunzel’s hair is her most unique quality however that is not true. She has another unique feature in her character and that is the color of her eyes. When you think of Disney princesses the first thing that probably pops into your mind is their blue eyes. After all, most of them have blue eyes with the exception of a few like Pocahontas and Mulan.

However, there is only one princess that has green eyes and that is Rapunzel from Tangled. Green is actually a very rare eye color in real life so it is pretty cool that Rapunzel was given this unique trait.

Tiana Is the Only Disney Princess with a Real Job

Most of the Disney princesses are either from royalty or they have some sort of magical power. However, there is only one Disney princess that has a real job and that is Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Tiana is a waitress and she eventually owns her own restaurant. It is pretty refreshing to see a Disney princess with a realistic job.

It shows that you do not have to be born into royalty or have some sort of magical super powers to be a Disney princess.

Did Disney Base Aladdin on Tom Cruise?

Many times Disney animators looked at Hollywood for inspiration for their characters. The Disney character Aladdin is one of the most popular animated characters of all time. He is also one of the few Disney characters that is said to be based on a real person. It is rumored that Aladdin was actually based on Tom Cruise. This makes sense when you look at the two characters side by side.

They both have similar features like the hair and the nose. However, there has been no confirmation from Disney that this is actually true.

Hans From Frozen Can Be Seen In A Background Picture in Big Hero 6

Hans from Frozen is one of the most hated Disney villains of all time. He started off as a nice, kind hearted person but it was later revealed that he was just using Anna to get to the throne. Hans is such a disliked character that Disney decided to give him a cameo in Big Hero 6 as a wanted criminal.

If you look closely at one of the pictures on the wall of the police station, you can see Hans’ face. This is probably one of the best Easter eggs in a Disney movie.

The Character of Wall E was named after Walt Disney Himself

Walt Disney was one of the most important people in the history of animation. He was the founder of Disney and he created some of the most iconic characters of all time. Walt Disney’s full name was Walter Elias Disney which shows that Wall-E is actually taken from Walt and Elias. As he was the founder of the company, it is only fitting that the character of Wall E is named after him.

To be honest it just feels weird that the company waited too long after Walt Disney’s death to release a movie with a character that was named after the founder.

Maui from Moana Was Based on Dwayne Johnson’s Grandfather High Chief Peter Maivia

Maui is one of the main characters in the movie Moana. He is a demigod who helps Moana on her journey to find a fabled island. Maui is voiced by Dwayne Johnson who is also known as The Rock. What most people don’t know is that Maui was actually based on Dwayne Johnson’s grandfather High Chief Peter Maivia who was also a wrestler like Dwayne Johnson.

This is pretty cool as it shows that Dwayne Johnson has a connection to the character. It would be interesting to see how Maui would have been different if Dwayne Johnson didn’t voice him.

The Cars franchise is one of the most popular franchises created by Disney. It is loved by both kids and adults. The movies are also filled with Easter eggs and references. One of the references is to Apple. In the movie Cars, there is a scene where Lightning McQueen is racing on a track. If you look closely at the track, you can see an Apple car.

This is probably a reference to the fact that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was on the board of directors of Pixar, the company that made Cars. The car has an Apple logo and the number 84 written on it which is a nod to 1984; the year when Apple was founded.

What most people don’t know is that if Merida straightened her hair, it would be 4 feet long. Rapunzel would be proud of her.

This is pretty cool as it shows that her hair is really unique. However this is just an information that we get from the movie makers we don’t actually get to see the full length of her hair.

Chicha from the Emperor’s New Groove Is the First Pregnant Woman in a Disney Movie

Chicha is one of the supporting characters in The Emperor’s New Groove. For Chicha, Disney actually moved away from their regular portrayal of mothers and tried to portray her in a more positive role. What most people don’t know is that Chicha is the first pregnant woman in a Disney movie. This is pretty cool as it shows that Disney is starting to represent different types of people in their movies.

It would be interesting to see more pregnant women in Disney movies in the future as this gives the character a unique arc and makes the character more loveable in the eyes of the audience.

Maui’s Tattoos Show His Supernatural Achievements in the Movie Moana

Maui is one of the main characters in the movie Moana. He is a demigod who helps Moana on her journey. One of the things that makes Maui unique is his tattoos.

Ursula Was Initially Supposed To Be Ariel’s Aunt

Ursula is one of the main villains in the movie The Little Mermaid. She is a sea witch who tries to take over Ariel’s kingdom. Ursula was actually initially supposed to be Ariel’s aunt. However, the creators decided against it as they thought it would be more interesting. It definitely makes Ursula a more interesting character and it also makes her relationship with Ariel more complex which is a great story element.

– Advertisement –

Who knows, maybe we will see Ursula’s backstory in a future movie. It is said that she may not be her aunt but was she was definitely a part of King Triton’s kingdom.

Gaston Was Initially Supposed to Say

Gaston is one of the main villains in the movie Beauty and the Beast. He is a narcissistic man who is obsessed with Belle. Gaston was actually supposed to say “Time to die” in one of the scenes but the dialogue was later changed to “Belle is mine”. The creators through that using the words “time to die” would be a bit too dark for the movie and thus deciding against using it.

– Advertisement –

The change in dialogue definitely makes Gaston seem less violent and more obsessed which is the true nature of his character.

Dr. Facilier’s Look Was Based off Michael Jackson

Dr. Facilier is the main villain in the movie The Princess and the Frog. He is a voodoo doctor who has evil intentions. Dr. Facilier’s look was actually based off of Michael Jackson. This is evident in his clothing choice and his hairstyle. It is also said that his voice was partly inspired by Michael Jackson’s voice and judging by their voices that does seem to be a fact.

It is definitely interesting to see such a famous musician be the inspiration for a Disney villain. When the movie came out he was one of the most popular Disney villains.

Ariel from the Little Mermaid Was Based On Alyssa Milano

Ariel is the main character in the movie The Little Mermaid. She is a mermaid who dreams of becoming human. Ariel was actually based on the actress Alyssa Milano. This is evident in their physical appearance as well as their personalities. It is definitely interesting to see such a famous and beautiful actress be the inspiration for a Disney character who is equally as lovable.

Unlike Milano, Ariel is a redhead but it is said that the creators of little mermaid didn’t only base Ariel’s look off Alyssa Milano but also her character traits.

Simba Does Not Roar Like a Lion; Instead He Roars Like a Tiger

Most people don’t even know this but the Lion does not have the loudest roar in the Jungle. Tiger’s have a relatively denser roar than a lion. Simba is the main character in the movie The Lion King. He is a lion who becomes the king of his Pride Lands. Adult Simba’s roar in the movie was actually taken from a tiger as the lion’s roar is relatively quieter as compared to a tiger.

– Advertisement –

This was done because it sounded more intimidating and it also sounds better when Simba is an adult as his voice gets deeper. It definitely adds value to his character.

Dumbo Is the Shortest Disney Movie

This 1941 movie is only 64 minutes long, making it the shortest feature-length Disney movie ever made. Dumbo was also one of the first Disney movies to be made in color. It introduces the very loveable character of Dumbo, a baby elephant with big ears who is ridiculed by the other animals in the circus. All I remember from watching Dumbo was the anger I started feeling for other characters who teased the cute elephant dumbo.

However, Dumbo soon discovers that his big ears give him the ability to fly and he becomes a star attraction in the circus.

Sleeping Beauty’s Main Character Aurora Only Had 18 Lines in the Whole Movie

Aurora, the main character of Sleeping Beauty, may not have had much to say in the movie, but she sure was pretty! The animators did an amazing job of making her look like a real person, and they even managed to make her look like she was blushing in some scenes. Interestingly, Aurora only had 18 lines in the whole movie. That is actually a bit surprising considering she is the main character of the movie.

– Advertisement –

And we don’t think there is any other movie in existence where the main character has so few lines. Even though she didn’t say much, her character still made an impact.

The Beast in Beauty and the Beast Is a Mix of Many Animals

The Beast from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is said to be a mix of many animals. He has the head of a buffalo, the mane of a lion, the tusks of a wild boar, the eyebrows of a gorilla, the arms of a bear, and the legs and tail of a wolf. You can also see the information about the make up of the beast in the photo above.

If you have ever wondered why the beast’s face looks so disfigured; well now you know. However we think that this was a very creative way to make the Beast look unique.

Toy Story has The Same Carpet like the One in the Horror Movie the Shining

We all love Toy Story, right? The toys come to life and have adventures, it’s a heartwarming story of friendship and loyalty. But did you know that the carpet in Andy’s home is the same carpet from The Shining? The Overlook Hotel is one of the most iconic haunted locations in movie history, and the fact that the same carpet was used in both films is pretty creepy.

– Advertisement –

In the scene above you can see Woody trying to walk very quietly through a room where the carpet can be seen. It’s weird to see a carpet design from a horror movie in a children’s animation.

The Jungle Book Vultures Were Based on the Beatles

You know those four vultures in The Jungle Book with the moptops and British accents? They’re based on the Beatles! In an interview, Disney animators said that the vultures were loosely based on the four members of the boy band Beatles. The reference is pretty clear when you see the vultures together. They have similar characteristics as that of the Beatles.

It is truly great to see such a reference of one of the famous bands in one of the most famous cartoons.

Eeyore & Optimus Prime Are Voiced By the Same Person

You might not have realized it, but the voice of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and Optimus Prime from Transformers are actually performed by the same person. The actor is Peter Cullen and he has done an amazing job at making both characters sound unique. It’s interesting to think about how different these two characters would sound if they were voiced by different people.

– Advertisement –

It surely requires some skills to be able to make your voice sound completely different for two completely different and unique characters that don’t even belong in the same genre.

Remy’s Shadow in Ratatouille Looks Like the Dog From UP

When Ratatouille was released it became one of the most popular animated movies. When you watch Ratatouille, you might notice that Remy’s shadow looks a lot like the dog from UP. This was a foreshadowing attempt by Disney to show the viewers what the future held. However this is just one instance, Disney very often foreshadows future movies in their past ones.

– Advertisement –

Both movies were a huge success and even after all these years both kids and adults enjoy watching them. We personally prefer UP over Ratatouille however both movies are great.

Pocahontas Is the Only Disney Heroine Who’s Based on An Actually Historical Person

Pocahontas is the only Disney heroine who is based on an actual historical person. The real Pocahontas was a Native American princess, believed to have been born around 1596. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the leader of a group of tribes in Virginia. At the age of 11 or 12, she married a man named Kocoum. In 1607, the English settled in Virginia and established the Jamestown colony.

Pocahontas met John Smith, an Englishman, and they became friends. She saved his life when her father ordered him to be executed. So it was only fair to base a character on such a kind hearted soul like Pocahontas.

Topless Woman in the Rescuers

The Rescuers came out in 1977 and was one of the first Disney films to be released after Walt Disney’s death. The movie is about two mice who try to save a little girl who has been kidnapped by an evil organization. While the film is lighthearted and fun, there is a scene that has caused some controversy over the years.

In one scene, the two main characters fly past a topless woman in an open window. The woman is not shown in close up and she is only on screen for a split second, but it is still clearly visible that she is not wearing a top.

Lilo and Stitch Have a Strong Obsession with Elvis Presley

Lilo and Stitch is one of the most popular Disney movies of all time. The movie is about a young girl named Lilo who befriends an alien named Stitch. Together, they go on wild adventures and have a lot of fun. What many people don’t know is that Lilo is actually obsessed with Elvis Presley. Throughout the movie, she is constantly talking about him and even has a poster of him in her room.

This obsession is actually based on the real life obsession that the movie’s director, Chris Sanders, had with Elvis. He even named one of the characters after him!

Several Disney Main Characters Have Horses as Their Sidekicks

Horses are one of the most beautiful animals ever and there is surely someone at Disney who loves the as much as we do. One of the most classic examples is Sleeping Beauty, in which Princess Aurora has a horse named Samson as her confidant and best friend. Similarly, in The Little Mermaid Ariel befriends a seahorse named Sebastian, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast has a horse named Philippe for company.

Even though these characters are anthropomorphized animals, they maintain many characteristics of their real-life counterparts – including the horse’s loyalty, strength and beauty.

Pumba Was the First Character to Pass Gas in a Disney Movie

Disney movies aren’t without their fair share of questionable jokes and scenes. In the scene where Timon and Pumba are teaching Simba “Hakuna Matata”, Pumba lifts his tail and lets out a loud fart. This was the first time that a character passed gas in a Disney movie. While it may seem like a small detail to some of the audience.

This instance of flatulence helped to break down barriers and pave the way for more adult-oriented humor in Disney films. You might not realize this but it was actually a history in the making for animated movies.

The Vegetarian Shark in Finding Nemo Was Named Bruce After the Animatronic Shark Used in the Movie Jaws

We all know the ruthless Shark from the Jaws movie but did you know it wasn’t CGI, it was actually an animatronic shark that was used in the entire film. The animatronic shark was called Bruce on the set of Jaws. Finding Nemo pays homage to the movie jaws by having their own loveable Shark character by the same name.

What better way to pay tribute to a classic movie than by using the same name of the animatronic shark in your own film.

A Hyena Researcher Was Offended By The Way Disney Portrayed Hyenas in the Lion King: He Even Sued the Company

Few people know that Disney was sued over the way they depicted hyenas in The Lion King. A biologist was so offended by the portrayal of these animals as cowardly and stupid that he decided to take legal action. Thankfully, the case was eventually thrown out, but it’s still fascinating to think about. His point was that Hyenas are actually very intelligent animals, and they should not have been portrayed in such a negative light.

– Advertisement –

It’s weird because Lion King is just a cartoon and it just goes to show that people would joke around with the legal system without a care in the world.

However, Jackie Chan has done a lot more than just action movies, he has also dabbled in voice work and singing.

In addition to singing for Mulan he has also released other songs in Mandarin and Cantonese. Who knew that the action star had such hidden talents?

Pocahontas Sidekick Was Initially a Turkey

In the early stages of developing the film, Pocahontas’ sidekick was not the lovable raccoon we know today. He was actually a turkey named Redfeather. Imagine if Meeko had been a turkey! The name “Redfeather” eventually became Meeko’s official middle name. The reason the character was changed was because the voice actor of Redfeather the Turkey passed away and the filmmakers thought it would be a better idea to change the character to a different animal.

– Advertisement –

Pocahontas was based in Virginia and there are a lot of Turkeys found in Virginia and this is why the creators wanted a turkey character. However then they settled for Raccoon which have a large population in the United States of America.

There is no denying that Margaret Kerry was very beautiful in her youth. She still looks very graceful.

The character of Tinkerbell was portrayed flawlessly on the big screen so we can say that chose the right person to base the character on. Now we cannot see Tinker Bell being portrayed way other way.

The movie starts with a beautiful shot of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris. We then see a close up of Quasimodo, the hunchback of the title, who is sitting on one of the gargoyles on the cathedral.

The Stampede Scene in the Lion King Took 3 Years to Complete

The stampede scene in Disney’s Lion King was one of the most difficult scenes to animate. It took over three years to complete and involved more than 100 animators.

Creating a completely new language for a movie or TV show isn’t something that Hollywood has never seen before. Marc Okrand, the person who developed Klingon for Star Trek was called in to help with the film Atlantis: The Lost Empire. He created an entirely new language for the Atlantean people that was based on ancient languages like Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit.

Did you know that the voice of Lilo from Lilo and Stitch also voiced Samara from The Ring? Daveigh Chase was just 14 years old when she voiced Samara in the horror movie. She did an amazing job at sounding like a creepy little girl, which is probably why she was cast in the role. It is very interesting to know that Lilo and Stitch has a horror movie connection like this.

It is always fascinating to see how a single actor can voice two completely different characters that are on opposite sides of the spectrum. One is a fun loving young girl in an animated movie while the other one is a super natural being in a horror movie.

They Wanted To Cast Jack Nicholson as the Voice of Hades in Hercules

Hades, the Lord of the Dead, was almost voiced by Jack Nicholson in Disney’s Hercules. The filmmakers originally wanted the Oscar-winning actor to star in the 1997 animated film, but he turned down the role. Hades ended up being voiced by James Woods instead. The reason that Jack Nicholson turned down the iconic role was because he felt he had to be paid more than what Disney was paying.

Henry Selick and Tim Burton Had a Clash on Set of the Nightmare before Christmas

Henry Selick, the director of The Nightmare before Christmas, and Tim Burton, the producer, apparently had a bit of a clash on set. This was mostly due to the disagreement between the two on how the movie should end. It is even said that out of anger Tim Burton kicked a wall leaving a hole there. We hope that both guys were able to mend their relationship in the time to come.

Selick wanted the character of Oogie Boogie to be revealed as Sally’s father at the end of the movie where as Burton wanted the ending we actually see in the movie.

The Voice Actors of Both Mickey and Minnie Mouse Fell In Love and Married Each Other

Very often we see that two actors who work in a movie together tend to fall in love and start a relation and even get married. The same can be said about voice actors. You may not have known this, but the voice actors for both Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, fell in love with each other and ended up getting married. They both voiced their respective characters for 32 years in total.

May be it was the chemistry they had with each other that led to the onscreen chemistry of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and yes we do understand that they are just animation but chemistry in voice over acting is also equally important.
