Disney artists love referencing older work from the Studio, so over the years, they’ve crafted into each and every one of their movies a character or two from previous films, without anyone noticing.
The best Easter Eggs can only be found after watching for a second, third or tenth time, with Disney films being possibly the most re-watchable in quality for those who remain children at heart.
