35+ Details of Disney Cartoons That Make Us Look at Them Differently

There is no denying that Disney's animated movies are some of the most iconic stories ever told on the big screen. It seems like every myth and fable has been transformed into an animated feature full of color, magic, and wonder. But there are tons of little details that you might have missed from these unforgettable movies. From the old classics to the latest Pixar flicks, here are some of the coolest details about Disney animated features that will make you look at them differently.

It's always a mystery as to how Disney's creators envision the appearance of their iconic characters. When it comes to the main character of The Little Mermaid, Disney had a pretty random choice of who they wanted to model Ariel on.

It might seem like a strange fact to include on this list but it is fascinating, nonetheless. When using sound effects for the animal sounds in The Lion King, grown Simba's roar at the end of the movie wasn't actually that of a lion.

Some Disney movies have the most random pop culture references in them and Lilo and Stitch is a good example. While the King was famous for having songs in his movies, the popular animated movie features many of his tunes.

OK, we probably need to be a little bit more specific. There are more than 18 lines in the classic Disney flick Sleeping Beauty. However, the main character, Aurora, is the one who only had 18 lines in the entire movie.
