Hidden secrets, aka Easter Eggs, are hidden treats left by moviemakers. All started back in the ‘70s when Atari, the video game maker, didn’t give credit to their game designers. One of them, Warren Robinett, added a secret code in his game “Created by Warren Robinett”. Today, you can even see Easter Eggs in popular animated movies.
Here are 20 Easter Eggs in the most popular animated show:
1. The carpet in “Toy Story”
The carpet in Sid’s house in “Toy Story” was inspired by “The Shining”. “The Shining” is one of the most famous horror movies in history.
2. The characters’ names in “Frozen”
When the characters’ names from “Frozen” are put together, they sound like Hans Christian Andersen. “Frozen” is based on Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Snow Queen” which was published in 1845.
3. Singing in “Frozen 2”
Kristoff’s song “Lost in the Woods” was invoking lots of “ ‘80s rock songs. Multiple Svens coming up behind Kristoff when he was singing, is a reference to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
4. Wolverine suit in “Flushed Away”
When Roddy (voiced by Hugh Jackman) is deciding what to wear, he pulls out a Wolverine suit. Believe it or not, Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine, never wore the classic Wolverine suit from the comics. He even said that he might finally wear it for Halloween. Just do it, man!
5. The classic Macintosh in “Coco”
In the land of the dead in “Coco”, the civil servants use the classic Macintosh. When Mamá Imelda tries to find out why she can't leave the Land of the Dead to go visit her family, the clerk assisting her uses a Macintosh computer to look her up. This is a tribute to Steve Jobs who made Pixar possible.

9. Moana and Stitch with a big leaf
Moana saving the baby turtle with a big leaf is a nod to Stitch using a big leaf to give shade to turtles in “Lilo and Stitch”. Some people say that this could be a coincidence, but Disney’s attention to detail says that that couldn’t be just a coincidence.
10. Margo’s shirts in the “Despicable Me”

Gunther is the recurring character who has the most appearances in the series, aside from the main characters. He won everyone’s affection because of his great love for Rachel. James had worked in cafés before, and even though he started out as just another extra, he was chosen for the role because he was the only one who knew how to work an espresso machine.
Sadly he passed away this year.
Paul Rudd (Michael “Mike” Hannigan)
The best part of the love story between Mike and Phoebe is how they meet: Joey was supposed to introduce Phoebe to someone, but he totally forgets about it. When their double date starts, Joey improvises and claims to know, Mike. Of course, he didn’t have a friend by that name, so he starts yelling “Mike!” in the restaurant and that’s when Paul Rudd enters the scene. Besides Friends, Rudd has had a successful career as a comedian and now he is well-known for playing Ant-Man.
Noelle and Cali Sheldon (Emma Geller-Green)
Noelle and Cali, twin sisters, were famous before they even realized it. They were barely one year old when they were playing the beautiful Emma, daughter of Ross and Rachel. After Friends, they worked on a few short films together. Time flies!

He changed everything in the series forever when Rachel gets her first job that she really likes at Bloomingdale’s. Of course, he’s the main reason behind Ross and Rachel’s first breakup, because of how jealous Ross gets when he’s around.
Tate Donovan (Joshua Bergin)

Ubbe Ragnarsson is the first son of Ragnar Lothbrok and Aslaug. He is the second oldest of Ragnar's sons. He later marries Torvi. Without tattoos on his face and his typical Vikings look, he is almost unrecognizable.
Margrethe was Ubbe's first wife. Unfortunately, she went insane in the course of the series and Ubbe looked for a "replacement". With her yellow hair, she is not so easy to recognize anymore. In real life, she apparently has a significantly different look.
Rollo of Normandy, originally known as Rollo Sigurdsson, is the older brother of Ragnar Lothbrok and the Duke of Normandy. Before his marriage, Rollo was known as a fearsome Viking warrior who had an impulsive streak and was plagued by internal struggles. This is what he looks like in real life.
Halfdan "the Black" Halfdansson was the ruthless younger brother of the Norwegian king Harald "Finehair". At the beginning of the series they were one heart and one soul. Nothing was more important to them than family, but even that was to change at some point. Without tattoos he is hardly recognizable.
Horik Gøtriksson is the king of Denmark. He forges an alliance with Ragnar, but sees Ragnar's ambitions as a threat to his own position. As so often, it's all about power in the end. After a visit to the barber & a shave, he is no longer easily recognized.
King Æthelwulf Ecberting (Old English: ˈæðelwuɫf; means "noble wolf") is king of Wessex and Mercia and the son of King Ecbert. He was one of the Chrtists and his trust was tested over and over again. He does not look so different in everyday life.

In reality, apparently, with a different hairstyle.
Ivar Ragnarsson, also known as Ivar "the Boneless", is the youngest son of Ragnar Lothbrok and Aslaug. Arguably the most controversial character in the series, as most just didn't like him. But in the end, he too shows his true self! Would you still recognize him?
Hvitserk Ragnarsson is the second son of Ragnar Lothbrok and Aslaug. He had to prove himself again and again and his character was often put to the test. After some knockdowns he finds his way back to such. He also looks like this in real life.
Athelstan means "noble stone") is a young Anglo-Saxon Christian monk who is kidnapped by Ragnar Lothbrok as a slave from the monastery of Lindisfarne.

Aslaug Sigurdsdottir is the second wife of Ragnar Lothbrok. She is the former queen of Kattegat and the mother of Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd and Ivar. She is believed to be a völva, which means that she can see the future through visions. She is harder to spot without the makeup!
Torvi is a shieldmaiden and the former wife of Jarl Borg. She eventually marries Ubbe. In her private photos she presents herself clearly different, what a great woman!
Helga is the faithful lover and later wife of Floki. They have a daughter named Angrboda. In reality, you would probably not recognize her at all. Wouldn't you?
Jarl Borg is a grim Jarl of Götaland. His seat of power is in a village larger than Kattegat, located in the southern highlands of Götaland. In real life, however, he doesn't look so grim anymore.
Haraldson is the Count of Kattegat before Ragnar Lothbrok. He is madly in love with his wife Siggy. They have three children, a daughter named Thyri and two sons. Without a beard, he is not quite as easily recognized.
Floki Vilgerðarson is a boat builder and incorrigible crook, who is also the eccentric and closest friend of Ragnar Lothbrok. He is the husband of Helga, and they have a daughter named Angrboda. In real life, however, he looks considerably different with a bald head.
Lagertha is the first and former wife of Ragnar Lothbrok and the former queen of Kattegat. She is the mother of Björn. Lagertha is a Jarl and a fierce shieldmaiden. In everyday life, however, she doesn't look like a shieldmaiden at all. Wow!

Of course, Sauron has never been seen without his mask in the film adaptations, but here you can see how the actor behind Sauron looks in reality. Did you imagine him like this?
Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit from the Shire, the main character in The Hobbit and a minor character in The Lord of the Rings. He is one of the oldest actors and you can clearly see that now.
Gollum, originally named Sméagol (or Trahald), was initially a Stoor, one of the three early Hobbit types. The name Gollum was derived from the sound of his disgusting gurgling, retching cough. This is what he really looks like.
