20+ Cameos in Famous Cartoons We Were Amazed to See

Animators just love sneaking in little Easter eggs for fans to catch in their shows and movies. Disney has been doing this for years... a lot of their films like to hide pictures of Mickey Mouse ears, also known as “Hidden Mickeys,” and it’s been a staple of their films since Snow White!

We at Bright Side love cartoons and here’s our list of special cameo appearances in some of your favorite animated shows and movies.

1. It’s not just cartoons that appear in Ralph Breaks the Internet...

2. You know SpongeBob made it big when he guest-starred on The Simpsons.

4. Lady and the Tramp make a brief appearance in 101 Dalmations.
