Easter Eggs You Missed In Frozen 2

aprildawn73 There's so much to look at and think about in Disney's long-awaited sequel that it's easy to overlook the many jokes, references, and shoutouts hidden throughout. Fortunately, we're here to help you make sense of it all with this look at some of the best and most memorable Easter eggs in Frozen II. It's almost as obvious that Frozen II is a Disney movie as it is obvious that it's a movie about a queen with magical powers who turns stuff into ice and belts out "Let it Go" to make herself feel better. Yes, the House of Mouse signed the paychecks for all the animators and voice actors who worked very hard to make Frozen II a dazzling cinematic experience, and the crew said thanks by dropping in a number of cute references to Disney projects old and new. The film begins with a pre-Frozen flashback to Anna and Elsa as kids. Although they live in a magical fairy tale kingdom of yore, they do what kids of any time would do: play with dolls. But these dolls are made out of ice, courtesy of Elsa's magical powers. One of the figures is a little elephant with a long trunk and oversized ears — Dumbo, in other words. A slightly hulking, rounded one is a dead ringer for Baymax, the friendly robot from the 2015 Disney/Marvel hit Big Hero 6. There's also one who looks like adorable monster Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro, a 1988 Studio Ghibli film to which Disney controlled American distribution rights. Of course, the most recognizable character in Disney's long history is Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney's first successful creation is so recognizable and so popular that the silhouette of this high-voiced star of "Steamboat Willie" is a linchpin of Disney's iconography. Disney theme parks are full of "Hidden Mickeys" — those three black circles that comprise the mouse's head and big ears are real-life Easter eggs to be found on the ground, walls, and inside rides. Just like Disneyland, Frozen II is sprinkled with a few Mickeys. During a game of charades, Olaf cycles through several poses, one of which involves placing coals on top of his head and one in his nose region. The clue he's acting out is "mouse," and he chose to look like Mickey. Later, when Elsa sings "Into the Unknown," she spins and leaves an ice circle in her wake. Very briefly, two circles appear atop that circle, forming the well-known Mickey shape. Keep watching the video to see the Easter eggs you missed in Frozen 2!
