Subject: Hidden Mickey list - part 1
The following is a list of the HIDDEN MICKEYS (HM) as of 08/26/93.
When I receive an update or addition to this list, I append the text to
the end of this file. At least once a month I update the file by placing the
additions in the proper catagory and I *try* to post it on the net. If I
receive a request for this file, I'll E-mail the unedited file.
I try to leave the updates/additions in the original form, but once in a
while I must change it to fit the format of this file. My apologies if any
contributors are offended by this.
Basic rules for contributions to the list;
- When I receive a report of a new Hidden Mickey, I add it to the list with
the name of the person who reported it and the date I received the file.
- When (and if) I receive a report of a confirmed Hidden Mickey, I add the
name of that person with the date.
- Any additional comments will be added to the list.
- If after a while, let's say a year, there is no confirmation of a
reported Hidden Mickey it will be deleted from the list.
While I read r.a.d often, I cannot always check out the HM postings there.
PLEASE Email any requests or contributions directly to me. This way I'll be
sure to get them. My INTERNET address is "sroka@evax.gdc.com".
Thanks to all for their efforts, and now ... the Hidden Mickey List.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
-> As you enter the scene with the two dueling pirate ships, the ship to
the left has a hidden Mickey. As the captain of the ship turns and waves
his sword, the silhouette of his head and hat on the sails makes a hidden
Mickey.
REPORTED: mousktr@carson.u.washington.edu (Denise "ABU" Lockner)
We saw this one when we went to Disneyland on the 5th of Aug (93). My
daughter spotted it first..

-> In one of the little "town" scenes (I forget which one), on the right
side in a window high up just as you exit under a bridge (or something),
there is a duel taking place (in shadow form). During one point of the
duel, one shadow has a very Mickey-esque appearance. The "dueling" shadow
on the other hand it very out of the way from where your attention is
supposed to be at the time (it may be the section where they are
auctioning off women, I don't remember.)
REPORTED: "househol@sun1.is.battelle.org" (Tim Householder) 05May1993

pavement shows the 'cobblestones' underneath. Just to the left of the
rear tire of his car (as you face the garage) is one of these spots. There
are three of these stones arranged in a familiar pattern. Anyone else
think this looks like a Mickey? It'd be nice to have some corroboration
on this...

DISNEYLAND HOTEL
-> In the gardens (Fantasia Gardens) at the entrance to the park there is a
Hidden Mickey created by the circular ponds. You'll probably need a

definitely there though.

It is quite weak. There are, however, several rock formations that look
stronger, in the same location.
REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993
CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 03AUG93
-> I don't know if anyone noticed this or not, but if you stare at the funky
shapes and colors on the viewscreen on Space Mountain, you will see a
Hidden Mickey. I don't know if this is a REAL Hidden Mickey or just the
way the lines form, but one does appear (albeit a little pixelated) for
about 1 second in the lower middle of the screen in green. Can anyone
corroborate this?
REPORTED: jgray@crash.cts.com (Jeff Gray)
-> We didn't see three glass spheres looking like Mickey but we did find
Mickey at the end of both Rika 1 and 2. (We rode space mountain twice.)
Near the beginning of the moving-walkway the walls are lumpy rock. There
are three round lumps of rock down low with green light raking across
to highlight the Mickey impression.
REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier <dc5m+@andrew.cmu.edu>
CONFIRMED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 03AUG93
SPLASH MOUNTAIN - Imagineers say that there are 3 hidden Mickeys.
-> In the middle of the ride, if you look at all the clouds, one of
them has a peculiar resemblance to the Mouse enough to stand out
from all the other clouds. I was told that this is behind the
boarded up house that the rabbit left. The HM is about the size of
a quarter. (unconfirmed)
-> At the end, in the riverboat scene, the pink clouds in the background
look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse lying down for a nap. The feet and
belly are in focus, but his head is rather stretched.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> In the projected scene (on your right) where B'rer Fox and Bear chase
B'rer Rabbit over the hill, at the very end of the projection, B'rer
Bear appears to be a Mickey. I saw this just as the boat was rounding
the corner, and when the projection repeated, I found it was difficult
(but not impossible) to see closer up.
CONFIRMED: IEBF94S@TJUVM.TJU.EDU (Craig Doerrmann) 15MAY1993
-> Just before the big drop is a HM. It isn't the "traditional" hidden
mickey (Face on) but a side view - as reported.
CONFIRMED: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LaMaster
THUNDER MOUNTAIN
-> A shadow appears at a certain time of the day that is a HM. You
have to be standing at a certain spot to see it. (unconfirmed)
-> On the ride during the last lift (where the rocks 'fall') there
is a lamp overhead that is supposed to have a HM projected on it
(unconfirmed)
-> Look for the three cactus (cactii?) just outside the exit in the
shape of a HM.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
FRONTIERLAND TRAIN STATION

JOURNEY TO MARS
-> As a lark, I and my friend decided to go to the "Journey to Mars" ride,
arguably the cheeziest attraction there. If you look down at the "rear
view" screen when the ship takes off and lands, a large fuel tank (?)
and two smaller ones are arranged in Mickey formation.
REPORTED: atendido@stolaf.edu (Robert J Atendido) 07May93
MICKEY STARLAND

gates, the first stepping stones form traditional HM's.
REPORTED: shawn@cars.com (Shawn Connelly) 29Jun93
CONFIRMED: friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93
-> In Mickey's office, there is a picture on the wall next to his desk which
has a mouse-eared frame! A picture of Walt, no less.... I snapped a photo
of the desk setup--made sure to catch the "MM" engraved in the front of
the desk. The globe on Mickey's desk appears to be a globe-version of WDW,
but I was having a hard time telling.
REPORTED: ericp23@aol.com or disneywrld@aol.com (Eric)
-> The window on the door to Mickey's house in in the shape of a big circle
with two smaller circle ears.
RPEORTED: UNKNOWN

the garden circle right in front of the castle that waved to the people
as they approached the castle.
REPORTED: lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu- Loren & Brenda Knutson 07JUL93
JUNGLE CRUISE

letter "C" in the word "EXOTIC" the mouse appears from the formation of 3
of the barnacles. The cluster is separate from all others.
REPORTED: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93
SPECTRO-MAGIC
-> On the right side of the float that has the mirrorballs on the front (the
balls can move up and down). Next to the mirrorballs there is a mirror.
Now there is a small and a larger mirrorball. The two, with the mirror
form mickey at certain times as they go up and down.

COMMUNICORE EAST
-> The Get Set Jet Game at Backstage Magic is set on three circular
platforms in the shape of Mickey. (unconfirmed)
WONDERS OF LIFE
-> Mickey is painted clearly in the green broccoli like stuff in the
mural over the ride. He is as plain as day if you have patience
to find him.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
My wife found the "Broccoli" Mickey in Body Wars. It is in the middle
clump of broccoli (there are 3 clumps). I thought that it was kind of
weak but my wife and family saw it. The one we saw was at the bottom
right of the middle clump.
Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com
SPACESHIP EARTH
-> Just as the ride starts to go up, look overhead at the star
panels. In the second panel look to the left side of it and the HM
is in the shape of the stars.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> After the "Tomorrow's Child" section of the ride where the silhouettes of
children are projected onto mirrors you will start to descend again, but
this time inside a microchip. On your right will be three monitors that
display scientific things like DNA etc. Now on the CENTER monitor three
yellow electrons will come together to form mickey's head. You might have
to go on the ride a few times before you see this.
REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93
WORLD OF MOTION
-> In the scene about the used chariot lot, the middle chariot has a
Mickey headpiece.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> Later, as you approach the 1960's you will find everybody hitting
the open road. In one of the cars (a family going on vacation) is
a young boy wearing Mouse Ears.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
JOURNEY TO IMAGINATION
-> In the ride, there is a scene of Figment in a 'dressing room' with
costumes (he's playing with a Dreamfinder mask). The hem of a dress at
the very beginning of the scene has a lace-like border with circular
cutouts; an extra length of the border material has been stapled on at
one point to create a Mickey.
From: myawn@hpcupt3.cup.hp.com (Mike Yawn)
-> Also on the ride, look on a giant globe for an island in the shape of
Mickey East of Australia.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
LAND
-> I talked to a [Cast Member] named Brad. He has worked their for seven
years and he is considered the Hidden Mickey expert. He said that there
are approximately 20 or more hidden mickey's in the Land pavilion alone;
including over half a dozen in Symbiosis, and approximately 5 on the mural
behind the loading area for Listen to the Land. He also said there are
subliminal audio messages in many of the attractions, including Horizons
and Journey into Imagination. I didn't hear anything. My entire family
keeping their eyes peeled for Hidden Mickey's we were bound to find some.
Little did we know however that we would find some new ones!!
-> Those balloons hanging from the ceiling DO form a mickey head. As you
enter the pavilion go to the left. Keep going until you are about 2/3 of
the way to the Land Grille. Now the balloons are moving, but every time
the two outer ones pass the middle balloon, mickey's head is formed and is
clear as day. (Pavilion attendants know about this).
REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93
-> Enter and go straight to the railing and look down. The table
and stools are arranged to be a HM. During the day the stools are
move around a lot so it may not be that way for long.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> While standing at the railing, turn towards the entrance and look
at the pattern on the floor from the overhead lights. They form a
large circle and two small circles on the carpet. It may be difficult
to see during the day.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) & Damon Burke
-> In Listen to the Land, spot him in the beginning leaf and vine
painting as the ride begins. Later, look for the three horseshoes
above the barn in the farming scene. (unconfirmed)
We missed both of these, and we were looking.
REPORTED: switzki@piano.cs.indiana.edu (Shawn M. Witzki) 27Jun1993
-> In Kitchen Kabaret, the refrigerator handle is in the shape of
Mickey. (unconfirmed)
We didn't find a single Mickey, but the refrigerator handle is definitely
NOT a Mickey. Somehow I remember it being that way before, but not now.
I don't think that it happened in the "Nestle's switch" since all of the
"Kraft" condiments are still unchanged.
Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com
-> In Symbiosis Mickey is reported to be seen four times.
- Small stones in front of the crouching Indian man.(unconfirmed)
- baseball cap of the man driving a harvester. (unconfirmed)
- when looking at the woman taking a water sample in a lake, the
reflection in her sunglasses shows the cameraman wearing a
Mickey Mouse T-shirt.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
- The very end shows a farmer standing in a field. As the camera
pulls back, the field is shown to be in the shape of Mickey.
(unconfirmed)
-> A host said "there are 10 inside and 8 outside of kitchen kabaret."
I found one in a poster. Some woman had an outfit that resembled one.
Couldn't miss it. But i didn't see 18.
From: Damon.Burke@p12.f118.n363.z1.fidonet.org (Damon Burke)
-> The dunes on the land ride look like a mickey from the restaurant.
From: Damon.Burke@p12.f118.n363.z1.fidonet.org (Damon Burke)
HORIZONS - you can find Mickey twice, maybe 3 times.
-> At the entrance, supposedly if you look down there is a pattern of
Mickey's head made from the 3 spot lights in the ceiling above.
(unconfirmed)
-> In one scene towards the end of the ride, the family is preparing
for a birthday party. One of the presents is wrapped in Mickey
paper. (unconfirmed)
I can confirm the Mickey wrapping paper on the gift. It occurs twice:
Once in the kitchen in the desert (it has been wrapped for delivery), and
during the "Happy Birthday" sequence. I won't claim credit here since I
believe that you previously credited "The Mayhew's" for both.
Pete LaMaster - Melbourne, FL - pvl@cadence.com
In the scene where the family is getting ready for the birthday party,
and in the scene where the family is having the party, there are
packages wrapped in red Mickey paper. The packages are clearly visible,
but the Mickeys are small. You have to look close.
CONFIRMED: Craig Doerrmann 15MAY1993
Internet: IEBF94S@TJUVM.TJU.EDU Bitnet: IEBF94S@TJUVM
-> Just as your vehicle enters the space colony, there is a view
through windows of the colony rotating beneath you (landscape moves
from top to bottom). At one point, there were three dome-like
structures outlined with small lights that were definitely a Mickey.
The loop of film displaying this scene runs longer than it takes to
move through the scene, so on another trip through we did not see the
same view.
From: myawn@hpcupt3.cup.hp.com (Mike Yawn)
I can confirm the Mickey in the rotating space colony. I've been on
Horizons at least 10 times and never got the ride timing right before. My
daughter picked it out: the "Mickey in Lights" is toward the right-hand
side of the satellite (far side as you are travelling left-to-right). It
is quite obvious if your car happens to get you there at the right time.
Please credit Kelly LaMaster (my 9-yr-old) with confirmation.

wearing a Mickey Mouse watch (ghosted Mickey circles).
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)

If you look at her chest, HER right, your left, you will see a
Mickey profile in the shadows of her white shirt. He is a little
distorted but definitely Mickey..too close to be a coincidence.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)

BACKLOT (New York Street)
-> My seven year old sister found this one! On the backlot street that has
the locksmith sign hanging from a building you will find this one. Go
into the middle of the street so that the locksmith sign is on your right.
Now walk backwards until the street ends. Now on the curb, BEFORE the
locksmith sign, and BEFORE the first lamp post, you will see mickey's head
chipped into the curb. It is quite large and you cant miss it. (We took
a picture of it...)
REPORTED:TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) Date: 16JUL93
MAIN PLAZA
-> It is built in the shape of Mickey's head, with Echo lake making one
ear and the planters forming his nose and mouth. Ask any cast member
or just turn your guide map upside down.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
MAIN STREET?
-> A real tricky one, while sitting in the Hollywood and Vine restaurant,
near the mural, I looked at Mick and Bill's Dockside Diner. The 2 black
disks on the "anchor" line look like a side view Mick.
REPORTED:friedman@mbcl.rutgers.edu (Rich Friedman) 16JUL93
-> In the display window just to the right of the Hollywood Blvd entrance to
Keystone Clothiers at the Disney/MGM Studios is an old camera. The main

CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> Also reported is Mickey as a cookie cutter in the bin labeled
'PAD 61257' in front of one of the worker drones.
REPORTED but unconfirmed (it is dark right there.)
The other "PAD" basket should be easy to find: it is directly after
the "non-basket" - the only thing hanging and circulating which is NOT
a basket (it looks like a car's brake drum). I finally saw the old
"Journey into Inner Space" microscope in the loader bay. Thanks for
pointing it out.
From: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993
-> When exiting down the corridor, there are six posters featuring
M&M's (the sponsor of ST). There was reported a HM in each of the
posters. I found three of the six. A ride op didn't know where
they all were either.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka) 3 out of 6
SCI-FI THEATER
-> I work there and there are couple of hidden Mickeys. There is some
trees painted in the back of the theater, and the leaves in one make
out the image of MM... And some of the constellations resemble MM as
well. I also believe that the tag numbers on the cars are high up
executive's initials and birth dates. And at the back of the theatre
where the popcorn machine is, there is tile on the wall.. And there
is someone's initals in the tile. Probably the person who did the tile.

MUPPETVISION
-> The wreath projections on the walls of the theatre are suspiciously
Mickey-shaped.

BACKSTAGE TOUR
-> Just as you pass through the archway and are heading toward the tour cars
to the right you will see a bush that looks like Mickey as the sorcerer
from Fantasia. To the left you will see a bush that looks like Mickey
holding one of those film marker boards (the ones that always show what
scene is being shot and what take it is, but I have no idea what they are
called).
REPORTED:lknutson@cnde.iastate.edu- Loren & Brenda Knutson 07JUL93
GREAT MOVIE RIDE - Mickey is everywhere (an Imagineer's dream).
-> While I worked there I was told there is a Mickey in the Hollywood
set on the load dock, but damn if I couldn't find it for 3 months.
(unconfirmed. I even asked but a ride op who worked there from day
one and he said that there isn't one.)
-> As the vehicles enter Gansterland, Mickey's feet can be seen peeking
out from under the 'Public Enemy' poster.
The part of the poster where Mickey's feet show has been ripped a bit.
Mickey's feet are still there, but less obvious.
CONFIRMED BY:"pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993
-> As you enter the Gangster scene, and approach the run down porch,
looking over your left shoulder towards the roof you will see
Mickey's silhouette in a warehouse window. (An interesting point
about this Mickey...It was not placed there by the Imagineers, but
rather by a guy named Carlos, who was a gangster at the Movie Ride
a few summers ago. The fake Warehouse windows are really next to
the actor's corridor, where the Mugsy's wait to take over
vehicles. There are chairs and a water cooler up there..it's
rather cozy. (I was Mugsy in the summer '92) When the Imagineers
found out Carlos had cut out a Mickey and put him there, they
liked it so much they kept it!)
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
The "Mickey in the Window" (during the gangster hijacking) *IS GONE*
Yes, friends, we rode twice in a row to be sure. I guess it got too
famous and someone official took it out.
UPDATE: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete LeMaster 10MAY1993
In the updated Hidden Mickey list it has a quote from a person who said
that the micky placed by a cast member in the window of the ganster scene
had been removed. Everyone rest at ease though, I was just there in July
and mickey is still watching over the entire scene.
UPDATE: TODDM@UCSVAX.UCS.UMASS.EDU (TODD D MCCARTNEY) 06AUG93
Well, it had been taken out for a little bit because it was never
officially approved, but the new one is not only approved but was made by
the imagineers to be the exact proportions of the original Mickey drawings.
Unfortunately though, the new Mickey looks like a piece of cardboard in a
window, while the old one really looked like Mickey was looking down from
the warehouse. Oh well, yet another 'improvement' by WDI. It even has a
little message on the back saying do not remove, WDI approved.. I think
it was put up on June 6, 1993, but I can double check.
UPDATE: ssquier@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (Sean Alan Squier) 12AUG93
-> Further on in the Movie Ride you can find Mickey in the hieroglyphics
of the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene..(last block on the left) having
lunch with Donald Duck.. Interestingly, ALSO in the heiroglyphics,
directly across from Indiana Jones, you can find C-3PO and R2-D2 carved
in stone. There is also a very small hieroglyphic painted with Mickey
Mouse ears, but it is not visible from the ride.
Kelly showed me the Mickey (and Donald) in the hieroglyphics, but I'd
recommend taking a flashlight with you. It's really dark in that corner
and you must depend on the lightning flashing at just the right time.
Of course, you might get thrown out for using the flashlight, but...
CONFIRMED: "pvl@Cadence.COM" Pete and daughter Kelly LeMaster
10MAY1993
"wallace@titan.trl.OZ.AU" (Glenn Wallace) states that these were
present on the original movie set.
-> In Tarzan, if you look up into the trees on the right side to
Tarzan's tree house, you will see three grapes in a basket with a
spotlight on them. Yet another hidden Mickey.
CONFIRMED: sroka@evax.gdc.com (Stan Sroka)
-> I found what MAY be a Mickey on the loading dock. His face is in profile
(side view) in the SHADOWS on the mural of "HOLLYWOODLAND". It is all
the way over at the left side (when facing the mural), at the edge where
the "mountain" sticks out from the wall. It is only visible when a
particular set of lights is on: just before the actual ride starts and
just after it ends. It is NOT visible during loading since the lighting
changes then. The Mickey is a real shadow - not a shadow which has been
painted on. It was clear enough for my daughter to agree with - but I
wouldn't be really upset if someone else said it was too weak to count.

VACATION CLUB
-> Some of the pickets on the railings of some of the porches have Mickey's
head cut out of them. If you go into the registration area of the
Vacation Club these railings can also be found behind the check-in desk.
If you don't want to go into the Vacation Club area, go to the
intersection of Lake Buena Vista Drive and Bonnet Creek Parkway. Here
there is a look out tower marking the Vacation Club and again the railings
used have Mickey's head cut out of them.

-> While watching my Day at the Magic Kingdom video again, I spotted another
Hidden Mickey at WDW. There is a overhead shot of the Grand Floridian
pool area in the video, and as the camera approaches the pool you can see
that a Hidden Mickey is in the design of the grass and walkways below the
pool. Mickey's ear on the left of the screen has a path crossing the
middle of it, though.

PLEASURE ISLAND
-> The search lights used at night are in three clusters, and they are
arranged as a Hidden Mickey. To see this you must be flying towards
Orlando Int'l Airport from the southwest, and at night and it is clear
as day.

TYPHOON LAGOON
-> I've been home all summer, after I went to WDW for a week with my
girlfriend, and I would like to mention one other hidden Mickey. Anyone
noticed the one in Shark Reef? It's on the wall below the exiting steps.

WDW - ON PROPERTY BUT NOT AT THE PARKS
==========================================================================
-> Survey markers.
-> Manhole covers.
-> Sand bunker on the sixth hole at the Magnolia Golf Course.
-> The putting green at the Eagle Pines & Osprey Ridge Golf Courses.
-> When entering the Contemporary Hotel via day guest monorail on the
exterior beam, the lights used if the restaurant area are viewed
to be in the shape of Mickey.
-> I saw a Hidden Mickey while riding the monorial between MK and
EPCOT. As you look out the right hand side of the monorail as
it passes over the road, you will see that the two lanes of
traffic are separated by a row of palm trees. As you pass by, you
will see a group of three palm trees in the median strip of the
road. When viewed from the proper vantage point, they form, you
guessed it, a Hidden Mickey.
Confirmed by Russell I. Dyreng (bd670@cleveland.Freenet.Edu)
-> Sticker - There's a Disneyworld sticker which I bought. It has a picture
of Mickey standing to the right of Cinderella's castle. There are
fireworks in the background. The diecut of the sticker is a profile of
Mickey's head. The curved cuts around the fireworks are his ears and the
extra little bump around the printed Mickey is his nose.
REPORTED: Daniel (and Mrs.) R Cormier <dc5m+@andrew.cmu.edu>
-> Some of the road signs on the WDW highways feature hidden Mickeys, or
least hidden, one-eared Mickeys. I don't think they're all like that.
However, the bus from Fort Wilderness to MGM Studios (and other buses
to MGM from the TTC area as well, I believe) pass at least one such sign
after leaving the TTC for the long back road that passes the Fort
Wilderness main entrance.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
-> umm.. if you check in the "gaston" scene at the tavern....
right b4 he gets into the brawl....
you can see on the wall in the backgrounds.....
like 6 or 7 plaques.. with "tropies" on them....
well.. of you check on that horizontal beam about 2/3rds of the way up....
over on the left hand side....
there is a *small* plaque.. without any antlers....
if you look closely. it looks like mickeys head....
hmm....
is this the end of the hidden mickeys???
REPORTED:SQUID
-> Belle opens her door, sending Gaston headlong into a mud pond. Does the
design on his protruding posterior (kind of scrawny for such a big guy)
remind you of anything? I might be reaching, but it seemed pretty clear
while watching the tape. He's got Mickey's pants on! :-)
REPORTED:cs64fad@sdcc8.ucsd.edu (Robert Cook) 08Nov92
-> In the movie Beauty and the Beast, Gaston and "friends" are trying to
break down the door to the Beast's castle. If you look right above the
door there is a shield/crest that looks a lot like Mickey's head. Has
anyone else noticed this or am I imagining things ?
REPORTED:Sutor@Fwva.Saic.Com 8JUL93
LITTLE MERMAID
-> There's a scene where a whole load of birds come flying through Ursula's
dress. Just after that, Max is barking up a storm. And JUST AFTER THAT is
a scene of some debutante-type person in the background. And from behind,
I SWEAR she has mouse ears -- two big black lumps, one on either side of
her head...remind you of anything?
REPORTED:mikeho@seeker.mystic.com (Michael Ho)
CONFIRMED: ins448c@aurora.cc.monash.edu.au (Tim Pickett) 29Jun1993
Note from Tim "Quetzal" Pickett;
In fact the two lumps on her head are not on either *side* of her head but
are buns on the front and back (you can see this clearly by pausing the
film). Still, it does look fairly convincing and is probably intentional.
ALADDIN
-> Mickey appears in the snout of what looks like a tiger on the Sultan's
throne. When Sultan is playing with his toys, his stacking animal
shaped figures. Beast is in the pile of figures.
REPORTED: Jason.
On the throne...the lower and upper parts of the tiger's jaw form three
very definite circles in the right shape.
REPORTED: thespian@access.digex.net (Stephanie M. Clarkson-Aines) 04AUG93
-> At the point when the line calling Jafar a "vile traitor" or somesuch is,
right after he has taken all of Jasmine's father's clothing (which fits
him remarkably well, I must add :) Over her father's left shoulder are
three pebbles in the right layout and size.
REPORTED: thespian@access.digex.net (Stephanie M. Clarkson-Aines) 04AUG93
PINOCHIO
-> When Pinochio catches his finger on fire, Gepetio(sp?) is frantically
running around to try and find water to put it out, he runs by a table
with a mirror on it, the top of the mirror is in the shape of Mickey.
There are two small circles protruding out of the sides with the base
of the mirror being round, thus giving you a Mickey. Just thought I
would pass it on.
Daniel Hansberger (danielh@brooktree.com)
-> I have a list of Hidden Mickeys in animated films that I will share. The
general trend seems to be that they usually show up in a background
displayed for a few seconds, rather than such things as dancing plates,
etc. where you usually have to pause the film to see it.
From: Phil Stern
101 Dalmatians: In the stain glass window in the chapel during the
wedding scene there is a pattern of Hidden Mickeys
Beauty and the Beast: In the fight scene between Beast and Gaston they
wind up outside one of the castle towers. The circular roof shingles
on the tower are arranged in a pattern of Mickey Ears (entire tower
roof)
Lady and the Tramp: Similar to Beauty and the Beast. The scene in
which Jock and Trustee find Lady depressed because Darling and Jim
Dear have changed recently. Lady is lying outside her home. When Jock
and Trustee turn the corner to find her, the background is a pattern
of circular shingles on the house arranged in a Mickey Ear pattern.
These are the shingles directly above the foundation of the home. (I
was surprised when I viewed Beauty and the Beast that the pattern was
repeated from Lady and the Tramp. The difference being one movie used
roof shingles, the other house shingles)
Little Mermaid: When Ariel is sitting on a dock watching Eric's
wedding ship sail. The dock she is sitting on has a stone stair case
behind her. The hand rails of the stair case are supported by what
appear to be stone Mickey Ears. (Though they are displayed for more
than an instant, they are small so you may wish to freeze frame this
one).
Sleeping Beauty: The scene in which the two kings discuss their
children's wedding. There is a balcony area in the castle. The
balcony wall has a pattern of right-side-up and upside-down Mickey
ears (alternating) carved out of the half-height wall.
TRON
-> The outline of Mickey's head (more of a shadow really) on the "floor" in
the computer world as they are flying over part of it.

suddenly turns their getaway car into the Drive-Thru at a fast food
restaurant. Burger Beagle decides, at that moment, that he is hungry, and
leaps out of the car to order a snack. The ordering intercom box is a
statue of Mickey, in a chef's hat, with a burger in his hand. The statue
is painted red.

PROMOS (TV commericials) and other places
=============================================================================
-> There is a new "Be Our Guest" commercial for WDW which premiered on the
Very Merry Christmas parade from WDW on Christmas [1992] morning (but it
has been running on network TV since then, too). In the scene where the
kid has his Mickey doll on the bed with him as he's about to drift off to
sleep, the camera pans over to the resort room window which has a view of
the castle. Look at the clouds to the left of the castle as the fireworks
are going off. You'll see a Hidden Mickey cloud near the castle!

-> There is a Hidden Mickey on the current promo on the Disney Channel which
tells about their 10th anniversary contest. Look in the fireworks on the
left half of the screen and at one point you will see a Hidden Mickey
which the fireworks form (actually it looks like the production of the
promo created the 3-circle Mickey shape by cleverly mixing fireworks shots
together).
