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.

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.
