An official Disney Studios video clip about the Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition.

Disney•Pixar's First Teaser Trailer for Monsters University

Get ready for summer school in 2013 -- here is Disney•Pixar's first official peek at the Monsters, Inc. prequel Monsters University!

TRON {easter eggs}

We sat down to watch the original TRON released in 1982. To our surprise there is a Hidden Mickey in the film!

About 3/4 into the movie when the Solar Sailor is gliding across the grid, look for Mickey in the landscape!

An added surprise! On the bridge of Sark's battle cruiser there is a diagram. On the right you'll see and hear Pac-Man, "womp womp!" ;)

The Little Mermaid {Easter Eggs}

Summer is here, and we generally avoid the heat and crowds of Disneyland Resort. To pass the time we've been introducing our boys to our Disney movie collection. While they are enjoying the films, I am easter egg hunting!

Let's take a look at The Little Mermaid, one of my favorite Disney movies!

I'm not going to mention this...

or what may or may not be the minister's knee (which Snopes.com has proven false btw). I did, however, discover a few really good hidden gems with the help of Eeggs.com!

In the beginning of the movie when King Triton makes his grand entrance into the concert hall look for fab three -- Mickey, Donald and Goofy all in a row! They are to the left of King Triton, closer to the left corner of your screen. On the right side of Triton, closer to the right corner of your screen, you can find a merperson wearing Mickey ears!

This next egg can only be seen in slow mo. When Ariel gives up her voice to Ursula she signs a contract to seal the deal. At first you see the top of the scroll, then it quickly drops down to the bottom. Slow it down you'll see in the middle of the scroll inbetween some writing is a Mickey head!

I hope you enjoyed these as much as we did! Happy hunting! ºoº

The Princess and the Frog {Easter Eggs}

As most Disney fans know, the Princess and the Frog was released on Disney DVD and Blu-ray, Tuesday, March 16th. It's also offered in a three disc Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo - available at Amazon!

Since Easter is just around the corner we thought we'd share some "Easter Eggs" or hidden secrets in the movie with you!

• A bit after the movie begins (while the title song "Down in New Orleans" is playing), look for the Magic Carpet from Aladdin being shaken out on a balcony.
• As Mama Odie is digging through some objects (while singing "Dig a Little Deeper") the magic lamp from Aladdin is one of the items tossed aside.
• During the Mardi Gras parade scene, look for a float with a head that looks like King Triton from The Little Mermaid.
• Riding on the King Triton Mardi Gras parade float are caricatured versions of John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Frog.
• Towards the end of the movie, the jazz band Louis is playing with at Tiana's restaurant is named "The Firefly Five plus Lou." This is a nod to the "Firehouse Five Plus Two" ragtime band from the 40's and 50's made up of Disney Animation employees -- including Disney Legends Harper Goff, Ward Kimball and Frank Thomas! Though most of the original members have passed, the band is still active and continues to play at Disneyland.

And finally here is a picture of Louis with swap grass on his head. A pose that pays homage to the marvelous Madame Mim from The Sword in the Stone!
