A gargoyle that looks like Pumbaa
Possibly the most beloved Disney characters of all time, Timon and Pumbaa, the endearing meerkat and warthog duo from The Lion King, are among the most beloved of all time. So it was possible to find these two franchises all over the place during the height of the Lion King craze in the early 2000s.
They also make cameo appearances in several other Disney films. For example, when the gargoyles on the cathedral appear in the film The Hunchback of Notre Dame, one of them has a tail, similar to Pumbaa from The Lion King, which is a nice touch.
Blink, and you’ll miss it
In the film Wreck-It Ralph, there is a scene in which a bulletin board can be seen in the background. On the table are several sheets of paper and a few pieces of paper with notes written on them. Then, finally, there is one of them, with a lipstick kiss on it.
The overwhelming majority of viewers of Wreck-It Ralph would have no reason to believe this. It is, however, a subtle reference to the lesser-known Disney film Paperman. It’s the story of a man on the lookout for a woman who left a kiss on a scrap of paper. Someone should notify that individual of our discovery.
