20 Easter Eggs in Animated Movies That You’ll Want to Go Find
In movies, Easter Eggs are hidden treats left by movie makers. The term probably started back in the ’70s when Atari, the video game maker, didn’t give credit to their game designers. One of them, Warren Robinett, added a secret code in his game that said “Created by Warren Robinett.” Today, we’ve even seen Easter Eggs in popular animated movies.
Bright Side takes a closer look at your favorite animated movies to hunt for Easter Eggs hidden by the movie makers themselves.
1. In Frozen, the characters’ names put together sound like Hans Christian Andersen who wrote the story that Frozen was based on.

Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine, never wore the classic Wolverine suit from the comics. He even teased that he might finally wear one for Halloween.

Cameron Diaz who voiced Fiona was dating Justin Timberlake at the time.

How funny was Kristoff’s song?! I was happy to understand each era/genre/band referenced and was almost crying. Usually there aren’t nearly that many clever references to past generations in kids’ movies.
