Moana: did you spot the Easter eggs?

Disney's Moana has nods to The Little Mermaid, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen and more. Here are the pictures to prove it...
As is now always the case, Disney layered in a few special Easter eggs and callbacks to its earlier movies in its latest delightful movie, Moana. Furthermore, it’s now released a collection of images just in case you missed what they were first time around.

Firstly, then, if you look carefully at the following image, one of the Kakamora has the look of Baymax, familiar of course to fans of Big Hero 6…
Then, if you look closely at this tapa cloth from the movie, you’ll see the character of Flounder. Flounder appeared in The Little Mermaid, that was also helmed »
Oscar Eligibility Decisions Give Musical Scores a Shot
18 hours ago | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Oscar’s disqualification of the original scores for “Arrival” and “Manchester by the Sea” have been much-debated in the music community in recent weeks. What has garnered considerably less attention, but may have a big impact on the music competition in years to come, is how the Academy music branch has treated this year’s musicals.
For the first time in many years, the branch executive committee has declared all of the year’s major year-end songfests – including “La La Land,” “Moana,” “Sing” and “Trolls” – eligible for the “original score” Academy Award.
This is a marked difference from previous years, when song-dominated films have been routinely disqualified from the score Oscar on the basis of a long-standing Oscar rule denying eligibility if “it has been diminished in impact by the predominant use of songs.”
Last year, for example, the dramatic score for “Straight Outta Compton” was declared ineligible under this rule, »

Disney movies are famed for their cross-referencing nods which have over the years become known as ‘easter eggs’. With so many (Many!) films under the Disney umbrella, it’s no wonder than that the filmmakers like to pay homage to other creations they’ve worked on throughout their time at the famous studio.

Whether it’s a live action movie or animation, there’s no stopping the creators and it becomes an awful lot of fun for us, the viewers to try and spot the references whenever they may appear.
We saw this recently in our 20 Star Wars Rogue One easter eggs (linked above) although all those references were linked to previous Star Wars movies, when it comes to Disney animation, it’s much more common for the animators to link hark back to previous movies and even future ones »

What to Know About the 2017 Golden Globe Best Original Song Nominees
3 January 2017 3:08 PM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Nothing makes for stranger bedfellows than the best original song category at a movie (and television) awards show. Last year at the Golden Globes, we saw the theme song from a Bond film go up against a Brian Wilson song and and a Charlie Puth tune — with a Wiz Khalifa guest verse — from a Fast and the Furious film.
This year, it’s a similarly mixed bag, with Justin Timberlake rubbing elbows with Iggy Pop and Stevie Wonder. Let’s take a look at the tunes.

‘Arrival,’ ‘Deadpool,’ ‘Stranger Things’ Land Ace Editing Nominations
3 January 2017 8:00 AM, PST | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Members of the American Cinema Editors have weighed in with a list of nominations for the 67th annual Ace Eddie Awards, taking place on Friday, Jan. 27.
All three of the awards season’s strongest players — “La La Land,” “Moonlight” and “Manchester by the Sea” — were recognized in the film categories. Denis Villeneuve’s alien invasion psychodrama “Arrival,” Mel Gibson’s World War II epic “Hacksaw Ridge,” and David Mackenzie’s indie darling “Hell or High Water” filled out the drama category.
Joining “La La Land” in the comedy field were “Deadpool,” 20th Century Fox’s irreverent superhero blockbuster; “Hail, Caesar!,” the Coen brothers’ latest jaunt (the filmmaker siblings editing together once again under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes); “The Jungle Book,” Disney’s mega-hit that could be a dark horse for an Oscar nod here; and in a twist, “The Lobster,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist satire that continues to maintain a footprint »
