Beauty And The Beast: 20 Fiendishly Clever Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

9. The Wilhelm Scream

In the packed final battle scene, there's also room for this much-used communal Easter Egg. Just after the sequence that shows Chip finding Belle and telling her about the raid, the film cuts back to the castle to see one of Gaston's men thrown through the front doors, along with the immediately recognisable Wilhelm Scream.

As far as is reasonable discernible, this marked the first time Disney had used it in their animated movies, with a spate of their next movies - Hercules, The Little Mermaid 2, A Goofy Movie, and Aladdin - also hiding it somewhere.

Pixar have a more frequent tendency to use the sound-clip, with only A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, and Finding Nemo not featuring it in any way.
