There are so many Hidden Mickeys in Zootopia
In terms of Hidden Mickeys and other Disney Easter Eggs, Howard discussed the idea of “plussing,” which occurs when a film is passed from script to storyboard. “Every time it passes to new hands, it should get better and better,” he explained in the same interview. “The Hidden Mickeys, in a way, are sort of an example of that. It’s people who care enough to kind of put a little extra into the scene to make it a bit more fun, or say, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be funny to make these two little elephants dressed as Anna and Elsa from Frozen walking around?’”
Despite not knowing where all the Hidden Mickeys are throughout the film, Howard and Moore were able to disclose the location of the following five:
1. In a cluster of spots on Benjamin Clawhauser’s face:
2. On the tip of a pen in the police station bullpen:
3. On a plank of wood in the Rainforest District:
4. As a doll in a stroller:
5. As a marshmallow in Clawhauser’s cereal:
We also spotted a couple more Hidden Mickeys, ourselves. Check them out below:
1. As a formation made up of Assistant Mayor Bellwether’s bell necklace and polka dot shirt:
2. On the car dashboard of Mr. Manchas’s car:
