29 Secret Disney Cameos You Were Not Meant To See

The magic of Disney is in the details. The storywriters and animators are masters of creating imaginative, immersive worlds, which we’ve come to love. Sometimes though, they like to sneak things in just for themselves. One of the longest running gags is to include secret cameos of characters from other movies. Some very dedicated Disney lovers have studied the films frame by frame, and this what they’ve found.

The Little Mermaid

When King Triton first enters, you can spot Goofy, Mickey, and Donald.

101 Dalmatians

During the Twilight Bark, Lady and Tramp are wondering the streets.

Aladdin

When Aladdin finds the Sultan's toys, the Beast is one of them.
