What you don't know abt Disney!
The witch from Brave made a bunch of amazing wood carvings and one of them features Sully from Monsters Inc.

Flynn and Rapunzel from Tangled are surrounded by library books, three of which include Disney classics like Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty.
But that's not the only Disney carving the witch was working on. Check it out: it's the Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story!
The Pizza Planet truck also was part of Wall-E's collection of junk!
In fact, the Pizza Planet truck has been featured in a ton of Disney movies. From left to right, Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, Cars, and Ratatouille!
In Hercules, you might have noticed that the slain lion is Scar from The Lion King.
Don't blink during the first wedding scene in The Little Mermaid! You might just miss the king and his court from Cinderella.
The magic lamp from Aladdin makes a swift and short appearance in The Princess and the Frog when Mama Ode flings it around her cabin.
This one is nearly impossible to notice unless you pause your DVD! Goofy
and Donald Duck attend King Triton's concert in the beginning of The Little Mermaid!
Since Radiator Springs is such a small town, we're guessing there's only one movie theater! And guess what's playing? The Incredi-mobiles! Hmm... sounds like the Cars version of The Incredibles!
In this scene from Up, a little girl has two very familiar toys: the Pixar ball and a Lotso Hugging Bear from Toy Story 3.
Speaking of familiar toys, the dentist's office from Finding Nemo has a treasure chest of toys for its younger guests. One of the toys at the office is Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story!

After Reading This, You Will Never Watch Frozen, Tangled or The Little Mermaid the Same Way AgainCredits:John Boone!
Credit where credit is due: Buzzfeed resurfaced this theory from a fan on Tumblr. But it's too interesting (and crazy) not to share. Fair warning: It's very depressing. Now, if you're ready to feel all the feels, let's dive deep...
WATCH: Guy sing Frozen's "Let It Go" in 21 different Disney and Pixar voices
We start with Frozen. Remember early on in the film, during "For the First Time in Forever," when the castle doors open for Elsa's coronation and Anna finally gets to step outside and meet other people? Watch carefully...
"What if the king and queen of Arendelle were on their way to Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding when their boat sank, and that's why Rapunzel and Eugene felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation ceremony?"
WATCH: Kristen Bell and the Frozen cast reunite live in concert
Frozen doesn't tell us much about where the king and queen of Arendelle were heading, just Elsa asking, "Do you have to go?" and Anna sending them off with, "See you in two weeks!"
After the shipwreck and funeral, Frozen jumps forward three years...
"So if it's true that Elsa and Anna's parents were going to Rapunzel's [wedding] three years ago (actually when the movie Tangled released) when their ship sank, which was the reason Rapunzel and Flynn felt the need to come to Elsa's coronation...GUYS. What if that sunken ship in The Little Mermaid is the king and queen of Arendelle's??"
This connections takes a little research:
No movie explicity pinpoints the real world location where it takes place. We know that Tangled takes place in the Kingdom of Corona. According to Disney Wikia:
By looking at five things: architecture, nature, landscape, politics, and the styles of dress in Tangled,
the best fit for a real-world Kingdom of Corona would be along the
Baltic Sea coast of Germany and Poland at some point from 16th to the
18th century.
Frozen is a little more straightforward:
The
name "Arendelle" is based on the Norwegian town of Arendal, located
southwest of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. In Norwegian, "Aren" means
"eagle", and "delle" is most likely derived from "dal" which means
"valley."
And The Little Mermaid story was written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. There's even a Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen.So Corona = Germany. Arendelle = Norway. And The Little Mermaid takes place off the coast of Denmark.
