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

Given that this is a Disney film, it should be no revelation that the film is chocked-full of hidden Mickeys. Inevitably, the most rewarding ones to find are also the most difficult to spot.

The library - which is apparently based on the Oval Reading Room of the Richelieu Building at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris for an extra Egg score - has an ornate Mickey in its upper reaches. Elsewhere, when Gaston and his mob cut down a tree to storm Beast's castle, there are 3 rain drops that form an upside-down Mickey.

The key that winds Cogsworth's mechanism is also a Mickey - albeit one that is a lot more obvious in certain shots than others. Incidentally, in the French release, Cogsworth's name was changed to Big Ben in honour of the London landmark.
