Best animated movie trivia of all time

Trivia: Nintendo originally started out in the late 1800's as a company that produced a style of playing cards called "hanafuda." In the scenes taking place in Brooklyn, you can see a billboard for hanafuda playing cards as a reference to Nintendo's more humble beginning.

Trivia: When Nancy Tremaine (Idina Menzel) is singing to Morgan about her memories to make the tree come to life again she sings a line "Let it glow, let it glow." This is an homage to Idina Menzel as Elsa in Frozen singing "Let it Go".

Trivia: Rudolph and others visit the island of misfit toys and promise to help them. In the original version, the Misfits don't get mentioned again, and the producers were swamped with letters from children, upset that the Misfits didn't get the help they were promised. A new scene was produced and included in future versions, where Santa and Rudolph give the toys new homes.

Trivia: When Ted opens a drawer looking for a nail for the Once-ler, a Minion figurine (from Despicable Me) is shown in the drawer.

Trivia: At the beginning of the film, when baby Tarzan is blowing spit bubbles, the bubbles look a lot like Mickey Mouse. It's a long standing Disney tradition to put "hidden Mickeys" in their movies.

Trivia: When Molt sheds his entire skin from being scared of the ants, the skin is the model that they use before they add the color.

Trivia: When all the sharks are sitting around the table, Lenny coughs up several items including a license plate. This is the same license plate from both "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea." (01:10:35)

Trivia: The newspaper where Barnaby leaves his fingerprints is Le petit vingtième, an inside joke to the children's supplement newspaper where Tintin's adventures were first published.

Trivia: Chris Wedge, the director of Ice Age, voiced one of the Dodos and also Scrat the little squirrel at the beginning of the movie.

Trivia: Also, in Swahili, Timon means 'Team' and Kiara, suprisingly means 'small dark thing'. Plus, Kovu means 'Scar'.

Trivia: Australian comedian Mark Mitchell re-voiced Buck Cluck for the Australian release, but in an American accent.

Trivia: Capitan Gonza's head looks just like the crone Yubaba's green bouncing head pets in director Hayao Miyazaki's 2001 film "Spirited Away."

Trivia: In the scene where Bianca & Bernard first fly with Orville the bird, they fly straight down beside a building. In one window that they pass, there is a topless woman in it. This was corrected about 4 years ago, and can be seen on the original VHS release if you go frame by frame.

Trivia: In the casino, while D.J. is fighting with Yosemite Sam's goons, Daffy tells him to "bite his ear." This is a reference to boxer Mike Tyson, who bit off a portion of Evander Holyfield's ear during a match.

Trivia: The candy factory name, Jolly Jack, is a tribute to "Jolly" Jack Kirby, a legendary comic book artist and writer.

Trivia: In the original Japanese trailer, most of the scenes were fully animated, yet not used in the final cut. Some of the shots were Ash standing on top of a crystal pillar, as the camera pans around him and he is searching for something, a bunch of random wild Pokémon running away from the crystallization, and a shot of Mewtwo standing at the entrance of a cave with lightning cracking behind it. Supposedly, the 3rd and 4th movies were to inter-connect, with Mewtwo being the one who connects them. Perhaps the anime producers decided to throw that away and instead advertise the then-new Pokémon Crystal game? After all, several elements from the game (the Unown, Suicune, Celebi) appeared in both movies.
