In 1986, Steve Jobs purchased the Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas’s Lucasfilm and established the independent company we now know to be Pixar. In honor of the man who also founded Apple, Pixar has included references to the tech company or Jobs himself in a number of films. Most notably, the titular robotic hero of Wall-E makes the recognizable Mac startup chime when he’s done charging, and Apple products like computers and iPods are shown throughout Toy Story 3 . Finally, after passing away in 2011, the end credits of Brave featured a dedication to Jobs in memory of his contribution to Pixar. That last one may not necessarily be hidden, but it’s worth mention

As one of the most successful movies Disney has ever released, we’re willing to bet that Easter Eggs and references to Frozen are just beginning. The minds behind Big Hero 6 are clearly fans – and hold a serious grudge against Hans, the would-be king who tried to kill both of Frozen ‘s leading ladies. A statue of Hans can be seen for just a moment before Baymax completely destroys it. If that weren’t enough, his face can be seen gracing a Wanted poster in a San Fransokyo police stat
Most movie audiences head to the theater to see a story exactly as its told, without looking too closely at the plots, characters, or lines of dialogue. But for the diehard fans always searching for added meaning, some twists, names, or confusing quotes can make even a classic movie twice as much fun to wa
There’s one fact that no one can deny: the Disney animators are most certainly dog people. And what’s better than a canine adventure? How about a shared universe of them? 101 Dalmatians has enough spotted dogs in a single family to worry about, but when the call goes out that the pups are in trouble, Lady and the Tramp can be seen in the city streets, along with their canine co-stars Jock and Peg. The litter’s father, Pongo also makes a Cameo in Oliver & Company, along with Jock, Peg, and the always loyal Tru
Although most of the film is set on a remote tropical island, Cast Away begins in the heart of Texas, introducing an unknown woman sending a FedEx package. The choice makes sense when the camera follows a FedEx package from there all the way to Russia, where the film’s hero Chuck Noland is introduced. When Chuck finally makes it back to civilization, little of his old life remains, and he decides to start over from scratch – but first, he has to return a package that washed ashore on his desert island along with him. That brings him to the exact same intersection the movie opened on, where Chuck finally encounters the woman who he says saved his life. After considering which direction to head, Chuck turns to the woman’s disappearing truck with a smile, and the film’s final shot gives another look down the deserted road it opened on – plus Ch
One of the best known Pixar Easter Eggs is the label “A113”, the classroom at the California Institute of Arts where many of the company’s earlier animators learned their trade. But the California locations are nothing new: in Beauty and The Beast, Maurice and Felipe find themselves lost in a terrifying forest, with a worn-out signpost offering little help. But a closer look shows arrows pointing to both Valencia, where the school is located, and Anaheim, home to Disneyl
David Fincher had an incredible challenge adapting the novel Gone Girl to film, but the opening shot is a hard one to forget. Showing what should be a loving scene between a husband and wife, star Rosamund Pike’s sudden stare into the camera and Ben Affleck’s narration put audiences on edge, warning them that the story about to unfold was anything but simple. A kidnapping, lies, and murder all led the estranged couple back to eachother, forced to decide just how willing they were to keep lying for the sake of a marriage – and public perception. Having the couple end up right back where they started from may have been a hard pill for viewers to swallow, but Fincher makes the message loud and clear, ending the movie with the exact same shot he opened on – but the audience’s opinion of the woman in frame has completely chan
