Trading a human or animal star for a robotic one, Wall-E was a major turning point for Pixar as a whole, relying less on dialogue than ever before. Set in a future where mankind has turned Earth into one massive landfill and headed into space, Wall-E is just one maintenance robot left behind. He's put his time to good use, too, collecting dozens of trinkets and souvenirs to store in his home. When Wall-E first enters his house in the movie, one Toy Story character can be seen hidden behind a pair of bowling pins. How Rex managed to survive the man-made end of the world isn't clear, but if he survived, then it stands to reason Woody and the gang were still alive off-screen as w

Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how Marvel explores Thanos as a villain and realizes him on the big screen for longer than five seconds. It's comforting that Joss Whedon and company didn't resort to CGI to bring him to life in The Avengers , but I wouldn't mind seeing a version of Thanos that's a little bit creepier than the one we saw previou

There's one fact that no one can deny: the Disney animators are most certainly dog people. And steam sale tracker|https://gamedealhq.com/ what's better than a canine adventure? How about a shared universe of them? 101 Dalmatians has enough spotted dogs in a single family to worry about, but when the call goes out that the pups are in trouble, Lady and the Tramp can be seen in the city streets, along with their canine co-stars Jock and Peg. The litter's father, Pongo also makes a Cameo in Oliver & Company, along with Jock, Peg, and the always loyal Tru

The tradition may have started during World War II, but these days, hanging a pair of fuzzy dice from a car's rearview mirror doesn't need to be explained. Apparently, even Han Solo and Chewbacca can use the added luck, including a pair of gold dice hanging in the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon. They're hard to spot, but the die-hard fans know where to look. In fact, The Force Awakens was already filming by the time a crew member realized the dice were missing, buying a gold plated pair on eBay. Talk about commitment to continu

"Kirby had done 'The New Gods,' which I thought was terrific. He was over at DC at the time. I came up with some things that were inspired by that. You'd think that Thanos was inspired by Darkseid, but that was not the case when I showed up. In my first Thanos drawings, if he looked like anybody, it was Metron. I had all these different gods and things I wanted to do, which became Thanos and the Titans. Roy took one look at the guy in the Metron-like chair and said : 'Beef him up! If you're going to steal one of the New Gods, at least rip off Darkseid, the really good on

There have been countless examples of people finding sexual imagery hidden in the frames of Disney movies, and not every one of them is convincing. But one film that definitely has a sexy subliminal secret is 1977’s The Rescuers . The animated adventure about two mice on a quest to find a kidnapped girl has a not-so-innocent image inserted during a sequence where Bianca and Bernard are flying on the back of Orville the albatross. A topless woman was superimposed onto two of the windows flying past during the movie's post-production. This discovery of the image in 1999 led to Disney issuing a recall of 3.4 million home release copies of The Rescuers - but thanks to the internet, it's still easy to find the c

According to recent reports , Thanos will be featured in both Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2 (probably less the former and more the latter). It’s unclear in what capacity he’ll appear, or what comic book stories those movies will draw from - perhaps 'The Infinity Gauntlet,' 'Annihilation,' or the more recent 'The Thanos Imperative' - though he will almost certainly be "courting death" at every t

Warning For those buying From CJS CD KeysDid you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves' found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d

The first of two entries from Alfred Hitchcock on this list, Psycho is full of smaller details that make it worth watching the movie over and over again - including a brief cameo from Hitchcock himself. During one of the final shots of the movie, as Norman Bates is sat in the police station after being arrested, Hitchcock subtly superimposed the image of Mrs Bates' mummified skull onto actor Anthony Perkins' face. To make things even creepier, not all of the theatrical prints of the movie included this detail, so audiences in the 1960s could spot the skull in one screening and then find it gone in another - leaving them to wonder if they'd ever really seen it at al
