Pinocchio in Tangled

The pub Snuggling Duckling in Rapunzel is home to several weird characters. During the song “I Have a Dream”, you won’t believe who’s in the pub, Pinocchio, of course.

Heihei in Raya and the Last Dragon

The famous rooster from Moana made its way into Raya and the Last Dragon. During the market scene, the rooster can be spotted with a basket on its head.

Nemo in Brother Bear

Dug the Dog in Ratatouille

Remy’s life isn’t easy as he has to run away from both blood-hungry humans and dogs. During one of these encounters with his enemy (a dog), keen on-lookers would notice that the dog is none other than Dug.
