The making of an acclaimed movie isn’t just about what happens on-screen, but also what happens behind the camera. Whether it’s a detail hidden in plain sight or an Easter egg only known by those who study cinema and TV, there are plenty of things we might not notice in our favorite productions. Let’s have some fun with some trivia.

The Bright Side team is always happy to help you find new details about your favorite movies. So let’s scroll through these awesome findings.

1. The IRS auditor played by Jamie Lee Curtis in Everything Everywhere All at Once was inspired by a stock photo of an actual employee.

3. In Coraline, 3 bowls are used to represent the years that each of the ghost children went missing or got captured.

4. The movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, has a lamppost with roots.

This is because in the books by C.S. Lewis on which the film is based, the lamppost was grown from an iron bar torn from a similar lamp in London.

8. In Your Name, the sky of the city is polluted.

In Your Name, the night sky where Taki lives is significantly less starry than Mitsuha’s sky. This is because Taki lives in the city, where there’s more light pollution than in the countryside.

9. In Encanto, Delores covers her ears because of her super hearing gift.

When everyone cheers for Antonio’s new gift, she plugs her ears.
