Hidden Secrets

I was hoping that you would reveal secrets for The Jungle Book, which has been my favourite Disney movie since I was a kid!

I fail and don’t own Jungle book. :(

Can you do Alice in Wonderland or Tangled? That, The Little Mermaid, and Tangled are my absolute favorites :)

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:50:03 -0500

I already did Alice, but I’m going to try working on Tangled :)

I dont know if you already know this, but I just saw Tangled for the millionth time, and discovered that Pinochio appears in the Snuggly Ducklin Bar scene!

Yup, and there’s a lot of other Disneys in that movie. In the bookshop, for example. Look closely at the books. ;)

Could you find secrets for The Jungle Book? It was my favourite movie as a kid

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:48:00 -0500

I don’t have the jungle book :(

When did they change the lyrics for "Savages" in Pocahontas? I have the VHS and Original Soundtrack and the lyrics aren't changed. Just a question. :) Love your blog!

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:47:44 -0500

If you watch the original VHS then watch the DVD you’ll notice the change in the lyrics.

FYI, your blog is 62 pages long. Also, I stayed up way too late to discover this fact. :)

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:47:03 -0500

Oh really, well now it’s even longer

So I just went through every last page of this tumblr. WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:46:32 -0500

Go back through and read the new ones!!!

Bwahahahahahaha!!!

Your blog is amazing I love learning all this stuff especially about movies I have grown up with. My favorite is the tea pot in Toy Story since it is the tea pot in all 3ds max programs and I am in game design where we use 3ds max for everything.

ATLANTIS THE LOST EMPIRE?? Could you maybe do that? It's my absolute favorite Disney movie and I feel it's so often forgotten! Even Kida isn't considered a Disney princess even though she's ACTUALLY a princess and FULLY DISNEY.

I happen to love that movie to a slightly unhealthy degree so I will gladly do it. :)

In the climax of the picture, Trusty was originally killed when hit by the wagon. That is why Jock nudges him and he does not rouse. When Walt Disney viewed this scene, he was shocked. Walt did not want a repeat of the traumatic scene in Bambi. He thought it was too intense. Walt then made the animators put Trusty into the end Christmas scene to reassure the audience that Trusty was simply knocked out and injured in the previous scene.

The mischievous young puppy at the end of the film (the one who resembles his father, Tramp) is called “Scamp”. He was featured in a children’s book, a syndicated daily comic strip, and comic books, before starring in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure.

The song howled by the dogs in the pound is “Home Sweet Home”. It is the only song to be in the film that was not written by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke

Walt Disney originally didn’t want to include the ‘Bella Note’ spaghetti-eating scene, now one of the most iconic moments in the whole Disney canon.

The Beaver character was effectively recycled as the Gopher in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, right down to his whistling speech pattern. This voice was originally created by Stan Freberg who had a background in comedy voices. The demands of voicing the character proved too much, however, so Freberg eventually resorted to using a real whistle to capture the whistling effect.

At the time of its release, this was the highest grossing Disney cartoon since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

To maintain a dog’s perspective, Darling and Jim Dear’s faces are rarely seen.

The background artists made models of the interiors of Jim Dear and Darling’s house and shot photos from a deliberately low angle to simulate a dog’s eye view of their world.

Walt Disney read Ward Greene’s story, “Happy Dan, the Whistling Dog” in Cosmopolitan magazine in 1943 and eventually hired Greene to include the Dan character in the film during the pre-production stage. But Greene wrote and published an entirely new story “Lady and the Tramp; the Story of Two Dogs,” which became the source of the film.

The film’s setting was partly inspired by Walt Disney’s boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri.
