In a current episode of Corridor Crew‘s Animators React, the gang brought in animator Tom Bancroft to talk about some of the films he’s labored on over the years together with The Lion King, Mulan, and VeggieTales.
During the present, he was requested about the Disney’s tendency to place Easter eggs in the background of photographs which may in any other case be much less visually fascinating. It’s at this level he says that each one of the “dirty” Easter eggs that individuals discuss are “false.” He mentioned:
“Sometimes we do add some things. All of them are innocent. The ones that everyone kind of hangs onto are the ones where they’re ‘dirty,’ right? Almost all of those are false, and we can talk about that another time and dig deep into that.”
I undoubtedly bear in mind a few of these, and I’m certain you do as nicely! I bear in mind watching the VHS tapes with buddies rewatching and pausing the scenes. Some of the extra well-known Easter eggs that unfold round concerned The Lion King with the phrase “Sex” being spelled out in mud; the priest getting an erection in The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin whispering to “take off your clothes” in Aladdin. These are issues I bear in mind as being details, and you’ll look them up on-line and be reminded that, yeah… they’re there.
Maybe a few of them are unlucky coincidences, however I don’t know. I want he would have gone into extra element explaining these issues! Hopefully, in one other episode, the Corridor Crew group does that! In the meantime, watch this one!
