Frozen Secrets Revealed!

Disney and PIXAR are notorious for hiding inside jokes, secret images or hidden characters into their films. It’s been going on for decades and we hope it continues to for decades to come. It’s always cool to catch a glimpse at another character, visual or audible reference from another one of your favorite films, and Disney’s latest animated masterpiece FROZEN, does not disappoint. With a fantastic opening weekend and great buzz from families and Disney fans, you can expect this one to carry straight thru the new year in theaters.

In “Frozen,” fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) teams up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven in an epic journey, encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) in a race to find Anna’s sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Click ahead to check out some of the hidden jokes and references the filmmakers cleverly placed in the movie!

REPURPOSED PAINTING – Artist Lisa Keene’s painting—completed during the development phase of “Tangled” and based on “The Swing” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard—made such an impression on “Frozen” filmmakers, it became part of Anna’s signature song, “For the First Time in Forever,” when she leaps into the air and mimics the painting’s pose.
