par Disney movies are much more than time machines capable of bringing our childhoods back, leaving an aftertaste of nostalgia. In fact, they’re all linked and have small details that are hidden from viewers who haven’t seen all these movies many times. But even if you’ve seen a lot of these films multiple times, there are so many hidden details in them, you’ve likely missed a handful.
We decided to carry out some quick research to find out what some of the best-hidden details in Disney movies were, and here’s what we found. Spoiler alert — if you’ve already found any of these, it means you really have an eagle eye.
1- Hercules bumps his head on a ship he traveled on
When young Hercules first enters Phil’s cabin, you might recall that he accidentally hits his head on the Argo’s mast. In Greek mythology, the Argo was a ship that belonged to another well-known hero, Jason. On the Argo, he led a crew of heroes, amongst which you could find Hercules as well. Interestingly enough, it’s said that Jason died from a blow to the head when he bumped into a piece of wood from the ship, just as it happens to Hercules in that scene from the movie.
2- The Genie from Aladdin writes from right to left
Aladdin, one of Disney’s most iconic films, is based on a story from the classic collection of folk tales known as One Thousand and One Nights. These stories were popular in the Middle East, and the Disney movie pays homage to Arab culture, even in great detail. One of them is a scene where the genie notices Aladdin’s fictional desires. You can clearly see how he writes from right to left, as in Arabic and other Middle Eastern languages.
