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

12. Belle's Cameo In The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame

Beauty And The Beast Easter Eggs

Another Easter Egg trick that's popular in the Disney universe - and one that actually suggested a shared universe before Pixar came along and apparently "invented" the idea - is the tendency to drop characters from one film into another.

While there aren't any character cameos in Beauty And The Beast, per se, several characters from the ground-breaking animation do pop up elsewhere. The most notable (and hardest to spot) comes in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame when Belle can be seen briefly walking across a square (presumably on holiday away from Prince Adam).

The same scene also features a cameo for Aladdin's Magic Carpet, which is seen beaten at a window above Belle, and Pumba, who is carried on a spit by two locals to the left of shot.
