You Won't Believe These Hidden Disney Easter Eggs

I love Disney. I've always dreamed of being a princess and finding my prince charming. I love magic, miracles, and happy endings. I take pride in my youthful heart and hope to inspire my future children to believe in all of the beautiful things Disney taught me to believe- like following my heart and chasing my dreams. There are many people in the world who claim that these films give false hope, but I refuse to side with them, because where's the fun in arguing about how inaccurately some animated movies represent life? I certainly don't see it.

All of the sappy stuff aside, Disney movies themselves are beautiful and entertaining, funny and heart-warming. But they're also full of mysteries. Some of the movies connect to others in ways that normal film viewers may not catch. Personally, I'm a huge fan of conspiracy theories. I've read most of the Star Wars ones and I find them incredibly fascinating that fans are so devoted to these huge films that they come up with these theories about characters or plot lines. A Disney theory popped up on my news feed on face book and once I started reading, I became intrigued. I found so many articles and lists of all of the hidden treasures in Disney movies that i'm dying to share with you all. Here are my favorites.

Jessie's owner, Emily, is actually Andy's mom.

Andy and Jessie's owner both wear an identical hat. The decorations on the room of Jessie's owner were very retro which indicates the time period she grew up in that was most likely the same as that of Andy's mom. The name of Andy's mother is never revealed even after three movies. It makes sense that his mother would remark how special Woody is because it's the boy version of a toy she very well could have had growing up.

A lot of characters in the early Disney films don't have mothers, here's why....

Walt Disney felt guilty about the death of his own mother. He bought his parents a home after the success of "Snow White" and believes the faulty heating system in the home led to his mother's carbon monoxide poisoning and death. He felt so guilty that none of the characters he created in his early films were motherless.

Disney recycled animations in quite a few movies to save time and money.

"UP" is actually about Carl's journey in the afterlife.

Many fans of "UP" support the theory that Carl died in his sleep after being told he had to move to a retirement home and his journey to paradise falls is actually his journey to heaven. He is accompanied by Russell, his guardian angel in the form of a child because he and his beloved Ellie wanted a child so badly but their baby died before it was born.

"Frozen," "Tangled," and "The Little Mermaid" are all connected.

One of the directors of "Frozen" confirmed that Anna and Elsa's parents were on their way to a wedding when they got into a shipwreck, possibly Rapunzel and Flinn's. However, they didn't actually die. Instead, they washed up on an island where they built a tree house, had a son, and were attacked by a cheetah. And their ship sank to the bottom of the ocean where Ariel found it.

The Pizza Planet truck from "Toy Story" makes an appearance in multiple movies.

"Wall-e," "Brave," "Cars," "Bug's Life," and "Finding Nemo" just to name a few.

Mickey and Minnie were voiced by a married couple.

Seriously, how cute is that?

Walt Disney kept live animals in the studio lot as reference for his animators during production of "Snow White" and "Bambi."

Some possible Dwarf names in "Snow White" that were considered but not included in the film were Jumpy, Dizzy, Lazy, Puffy, and Stuffy among others.

The spinning wheel from "Sleeping Beauty" makes an appearance in "Tangled."

Tiger roars were recorded for sound effects in "The Lion King" because lions weren't loud enough.

These are just some fun facts and fan theories that I find entertaining and interesting. Some may not be true, what do you think?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

sex and the city
Warner Bros. Television

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
