I remember I watched it a lot in my childhood, but I completely forgot the name and couldn't find it anymore
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.
2. When Roddy (voiced by Hugh Jackman) in Flushed Away is deciding what to wear, he pulls out a Wolverine suit.
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.
3. In Shrek, Fiona has a poster of Sir Justin, modeled after Justin Timberlake, in her room.
Cameron Diaz who voiced Fiona was dating Justin Timberlake at the time.
4. Moana saving the baby turtle is a nod to Stitch using a big leaf to give shade to turtles in Lilo and Stitch.
5. At the police desk in Big Hero 6, the photo frames contain the pictures of Esther and Bolt from Bolt.

10. Sid from Toy Story uses Binford Tools, which is the fictional tool company in Home Improvement.

it was a really good animated movie, but I don't recall it being super popular actually
Though I remember I watched it too, but wasn't a big fan ?
I have always liked such adventurous cartoons, like this one
but I can agree, the plot was kind of generic. I can recall there were a lot of funny jokes :D
now I'm gonna re-watch it this weekend
haha it reminded me of a cartoon called "Shark Tales". It was not hitting high ratings, but I remember I loved it when I was a kid
I watched it more than 20 times, that's for sure!
I liked it too when I was young. But I mostly liked all the cartoons and didn't think much of analyzing whether they were good or bad. I just enjoyed the process in general
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.
