Secret Disney Details You've Probably Never Noticed Before

The animators and story tellers behind the Disney movies are dedicated to details. So much so that sometimes it takes years just to create the art for a single character, like the octopus in Finding Dory, the meticulous detail took 2 years! Suffice it to say, I'm not sure everyone always appreciates the amount of effort put into the movies we cannot get enough of. But that doesn't mean that there aren't some people who appreciate those details to the point of combing through each and every movie with a proverbial fine tooth comb... 

And thanks to their effort and attention to detail we can all take a moment to appreciate the little details, most of which you probably have never noticed before. Once seen, they cannot be unseen, but are guaranteed to increase your appreciation for movies you already loved.

2 movies, 1 story.

Toy Story 2 features animated "bloopers," and by far the best one is with Flik and Heimlich in a scene where the toys cut through a bush. If you look back to the actual movie, you can see a tiny caterpillar on the plant, conveniently the same coloring as Heimlich! Very clever. 2 movies, 1 story.Disney
