In any movie, whether it be animated or live-action, there are always going to be a few easter eggs, especially if the movie is the continuation of a series. After all, the movie directors want the movie to explain everything without the viewers having to catch every past iteration while also giving loyal viewers something to find out. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about this is the Conjuring series but that is another story.
However, like in most games, there are always easter eggs. Little things that pay homage to older movies or something else entirely unrelated. It might be because the art director really liked one particular movie or it was done because they had worked on another movie that they wanted to link to this one. While most of the following movies are primarily made for children, that doesn’t mean there isn’t something for all the adults to look at either.
So if you want to look at some hidden details and easter eggs in animated movies that might not be so apparent at first glance, just scroll below to take a look.

It is a blink and you miss it moments but I actually loved it when I first saw the movie.
Now we understand the reasoning behind his bigger size though but I wonder how he escaped.
But it does make sense that both of them fell in love with not-so-refined people. But I think the teapot might just be an easter egg. After all, didn’t the teapot turn back into a human?
To be fair, she did bandage herself so I am not sure if it would have been clear.
