    For as long as I can remember, Disney animators have been hiding little nods to previous films and Disney culture in their films.  Frozen is no exception, and we’ve go a look at some of the hidden gems that you may (or may not) have caught.

    WELCOME TO ARENDELLE – Elsa’s coronation draws guests from far-away lands—and movies. From “Tangled,” Eugene Fitzherbert aka Flynn Rider and Rapunzel even made the guest list.

    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.

      I very much like the Tangled cameo, though I regret I did not catch it when I watched the film. I hope that keep those kind of cameos happening in future films.
