Perhaps with that in mind, though, the filmmakers have put a few little Easter eggs and nods to other Disney movies in there. Take, for instance, the brief nod to Pinocchio in the pub scene. Or the homage to The Little Mermaid. You might even see something not a million miles away from the rose in Beauty And The Beast, too. “Well, besides that Pinoochio is hidden in the pub,” revealed Nathan Greno, “in the town in the kingdom, there’s this book at the bookstore, where they’re looking at a book together? There’s about a million things hidden in there.” “Once the Blu-ray comes out, it’ll sharpen up. Freeze frame that and take a zoom around!” added Howard. That said, it’s possible to see a few tips of the hat on the big screen, but you need to be sharp to spot them! “I think we ran out of posts in the end!” says Howard. On the musical side, keep your ears peeled, too, because as composer Alan Menken told us, he’s slotted in a musical cue from Enchanted. Want some help in finding it? Over to the man himself: “There’s a two-measure, big swell, that is basically the same. I don’t know if it’s the same key, but it’s right out of Enchanted. It’s in the film, and it’s almost in an analogous spot from the spot in Enchanted.” Follow Den Of Geek on Twitter right here.
