There aren't many people who've only seen a Disney movie once, but even on repeat viewings,

some of the best kept secrets and details can still be hard to spot. Allow us to fill

you in. Here are 20 Hidden Secrets in Disney Movies You Won't Believe.

Beauty and The Beast

Younger fans might keep their eyes covered in the movie's terrifying forest, but look

again: on the worn out road signs there's an arrow pointing to Anaheim - the home of

Disneyland - and Valencia - the hom of Cal Arts, where plenty of Disney animators learned

their trade.

The Little Mermaid

It's hard to forget the visual design of the movie's villain Ursula, but her unlikely inspiration

deserves most of the credit: the 1970s drag performer "Divine."

Wall-E

The movie may be set after the fall of the Disney and Pixar universe, but it's named

for the one who started it: Wall-E, as in Walter E. (for Elias) Disney.

Mickey Mouse

Disney's mascot has always had a sweetheart in Minnie, but when his voice actor Wayne

Allwine met voice actress Russi Taylor a decade into his career, real life sparks flew. The

two were married five years later.

A Goofy Movie

It may not get the same attention as other Disney flicks, but A Goofy movie's famous

Powerline number has a great Peter Pan easter egg backstage: Tick Tock, the Croc.

Cinderella

Ever gotten a real "Wicked Stepmother" vibe from Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent? You should,

since both iconic villain roles were played by and modeled after the same actress, Eleanor

Audley.

Tangled

During the lantern sequence, one of the thousands floats down next to Rapunzel, who keeps it

from sinking and sends it back into the sky. Notice the royal emblem? It's the same one

her parents sent out in her honor.

Snow White

The movie made animation, and Disney overnight sensations, but the artists took some clever

shortcuts to get there. To get Snow's skin looking just right, they applied actual rouge

to the animation cells - clearly, it worked.

As for the Dwarves, well the final seven were just a few of dozens of potential names, like:

Baldy, Hickey, Jumpy, Wheezy, Puffy, Tubby, Burpy, and Deafy. They made the right call

- even if "Wheezy" would be easier to remember.

Hercules

The Musical Muses of the movie steal the spotlight, but they also pay one massive tribute to the

broken busts in Disney World's Haunted Mansion.

Toy Story

Tom Hanks' performance as Woody helped make him Pixar's mascot, but his lines were actually

performed during breaks from other films - mainly Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their

Own.

With Terminator 2 releasing just years before, the animators planned to have Buzz and Woody

rescued by their own Sarah Connor badass: Barbie, in her toy Corvette. Mattel who owned

Barbie refused, saying Barbie's personality wasn't set - and because they figured the

movie would flop. Good call on that one.

Toy Story 2

The team at Pixar clearly featured some Canadians, with a magazine on sale on Toy Story 2 priced

at $5 America, but $50 Canadian, taking a shot at the retail mark-up for imported products.

Jessie's exclamation, "sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln" upon meeting Woody may fit her characters,

but it's also a joke at Tom Hanks' expense. The actual mother of Abraham Lincoln was Nancy

Hanks - a distant cousin to the actor himself.

Zootopia

The animal cast includes a total of 64 species, but also pay tribute to past Disney releases.

Assistant Mayor Bellwether is a nod to the lambs of "Melody Time" and "Make Mine Music,"

and Mayor Lionheart was designed after The Lion King's Mufasa.

The movie is all about Judy Hopps' journey, but that wasn't the plan. Actress Ginnifer

Godwin had already recorded her lines for a supporting role to Nick the Fox's lead,

until one of the vocal crew informed her the script had been completely re-written with

Judy as the star.

The team tried to be accurate with their character designs, even traveling to Africa to see native

species up close. But when they realized a talking rabbit's upper lip would be split

up to its nose, they made an executive call, and stuck with the classic - and inaccurate

- talking rabbit tradition.

Frozen

The one-of-a-kind style and artwork in Frozen's world might seem like a Disney animator's

work, but it's actually known as "Rosemaling" - a traditional folk art hailing from Norway,

where the film is set and was used as inspiration for Arendale.

Most fans know that the movie started development with Elsa as the villain, but when that was

the plan, her character design was based on the late Amy Winehouse, with short, spiky

hair and blue skin.

The movie's success is mainly due to the bond shared by the starring sisters. That might

be because unlike most animated films, actresses Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel actually recorded

some of their scenes together - including the songs.
