20 Best Easter Eggs In 2016 Movies
20. Timon & Pumbaa Cameo - The Jungle Book
Jon Favreau's marvelous live-action adaptation of the beloved Disney animation features a ton of brilliant Easter eggs, though unarguably the most fan-pleasing is a quick cameo from The Lion King's beloved meerkat and warthog duo, Timon and Pumbaa.

Near the end of the movie, as all of the animals are gathering at the water hole ahead of Shere Khan's (Idris Elba) appearance, a warthog and meerkat are not-so-coincidentally stood next to one another, and the camera lingers on them for an unnecessary amount of time.
It's a great Easter egg because the intent is obvious yet it doesn't get too blatant with the fan service, as these animals could easily just be a random warthog and meerkat (but they're totally not).
