View Poll: #1608942
As Requested:

Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar1994

- ‘Robin Williams’ was not a part of this movie due to a disagreement with Disney
- The Genie lost his cuffs (the mark of his imprisonment) in the first movie, but he wears them in both sequels and the TV show because he “looks better” with them on.
- Disney’s first direct-to-video seque
**
Toy Story 2 1999

- Toy Story character Woody is actually based on a character from the fictional television show Woody’s Roundup, which in Toy Story 2 ran from 1941 to 1943, then 1946 to 1957 and gained a great deal of popularity, especially for its lead character, Sheriff Woody Pride.
- Jodi Benson, who voices Ariel, does the voice of Barbie in Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3
- Toy Story 2 was not originally intended for release in theaters. Disney asked Pixar to make a direct-to-video sequel for the original Toy Story with a 60 minute running time.
- The dust in the scene where Woody meets Wheezy set a record for number of particles animated for a movie by computer.
- This was the first sequel for Tom Hanks and Tim Allen.
- When Jessie (Joan Cusack) first meets Woody (Tom Hanks), she exclaims, “Sweet mother of Abraham Lincoln!” Abraham Lincoln’s mother was Nancy Hanks, a blood relative of Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is a direct descendant of an uncle of Nancy Hanks.
- This is one of three Disney movies to win a Golden Globe for Best Picture. The other two are Beauty and the Beast (1991) and The Lion King (1994).
- In the scene in the airport baggage area, it took an average of 70 hours to render each frame.
- Many people think the Woody’s Roundup sequence was filmed with real puppets. But really they took the same CG models and made small changes to make them look like puppets. Then they animated the puppet versions of the characters in a CG black and white set. Then they used this technique called the kinescope effect, which adds scratches, hairs, and pieces of grain to the image to make it look old.
**
Fantasia 2000 1999

- At 12 minutes, Rhapsody in Blue is the longest segment.
- The Broadway ending sequence of Rhapsody In Blue contained so many different colors (over 200), that the CAPS system had trouble rendering it, causing delays in the production of Tarzan.
- The rain seen during Pomp and Circumstance was filmed back in 1940 and was used in the Rites of Spring segment in the first Fantasia (1940).
- George Gershwin himself features in the Rhapsody in Blue segment. He’s the slender man seen playing the piano through his apartment window, above Rachel and her piano lessons.
- The first feature length animated film to be presented in IMAX.
**
The Tigger Movie 2000

- When the movie was first released, Tigger, rearranging the letters in the title to spell out The Tigger Movie was cut out and shows the title on a black screen. In later releases, the scene was added before the film started.
- When Tigger is searching through his barrel looking for some evidence of his family, a ship’s life ring is thrown out. The name “RMS MILNE” is clearly visible on it, referring to the author A.A. Milne.
- The original trailer for the movie, as well as some of the TV spots, had the song “Semi-Charmed Kind of Life” by the rock group Third Eye Blind. This had to be changed because the song is about being addicted to crystal meth.
- This was the first Disney movie in 29 years, since Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971), to have songs by former Disney mainstays Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman.
**
Dinosaur2000

- The film was originally supposed to have no dialogue at all, in part to differentiate the film from The Land Before Time, with which Dinosaur shares many plot similarities.
- Pop singer/songwriter Kate Bush reportedly wrote and recorded a song for the film but due to complications the track was ultimately not included on the soundtrack
- The Countdown to Extinction attraction at the Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park was re-named and re-themed to the movie, and is now known as DINOSAUR. The storyline was always intended to tie in with the movie, considering the usage of a Carnotaurus as the ride’s antagonist and Aladar as the Iguanodon that guests rescue from the meteor shower and take back into the present, seen wandering the Dino Institute in Security Camera footage seen on monitors in the attraction’s unloading area.
- The backgrounds in the movie are actually superimposed photos of exotic tropical locations such as Tahiti and Hawaii.
- The job of composing the score was offered to Harry Gregson-Williams, but he turned it down Because of his work on Shrek (2001).

- The movie that the dogs are watching when Chloe and Kevin go out for a date is “Lady and the Tramp”. The specific scene is when Lady and Tramp go to Tony’s Italian Restaurante. The restaurant that Chloe and Kevin go to on their date is named Tony’s Italian Restaurante.
- Because Dalmatian puppies grow so fast, each pup only got to “act” for two weeks before being replaced by a younger pup.
- As in 101 Dalmatians (1996), when Cruella is foiled by the dalmatian puppies, she is wearing a red and black fur coat.
**
The Emperor’s New Groove 2000

- Sting’s songs, related to specific scenes that were now gone, had to be dropped. Sting was bitter about the removal of his songs (which are available on The Emperor’s New Groove soundtrack album). “At first, I was angry and perturbed. Then I wanted some vengeance.”
- Unlike many previous Disney animated films, The Emperor’s New Groove is almost completely devoid of musical numbers. It is the first Walt Disney Feature Animation film since 1990′s The Rescuers Down Under not to be a musical, and the start of a larger trend where the studio began to move away from musicals.
- Pacha’s wife, Chicha, is pregnant. According to the DVD Commentary, this is the first Disney Animated Feature to show a pregnant woman.
- Like many other Disney films, this one contains a number of hidden Mickey Mouse images. One is in the bushes when Kuzco gets pulled from the water and another is Yzma’s head and earrings (upside down).
- Pacha’s name means “earth” in the Incan Language.
**
Atlantis: The Lost Empire 2001

- It marked the final film role for Jim Varney, who died in February 2000.
- When it came to creating the look of the city of Atlantis, the filmmakers wanted to avoid the common conception of Atlantis being depicted as “Greek columns under the sea somewhere,” says art director Dave Goetz. Instead, they modeled their Atlantis on the architecture of ancient civilizations in China, South America and the Middle East.
- The film’s production design style was based upon the personal style of comic book artist Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy. Mignola was one of four production designers hired by the Disney studio to work on the film, and provided style guides and preliminary character and background designs for the film.
- Some viewers noted that Atlantis bore striking similarities to the popular 1990s Japanese anime television show, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, along with the Studio Ghibli film Castle in the Sky. Similarities included character designs, story flow, and the background settings.
- Originally, Disneyland Park was to revive its Submarine Voyage ride with an Atlantis theme by using elements from the movie. The ride was promoted with a meet and greet with the movie’s characters. These plans were cancelled after the film’s under-performance at the box office, and the attraction was reopened in 2007 as the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage instead, basing its theme around Pixar’s 2003 film Finding Nemo.
- Marc Okrand, who created the Atlantean language, also created the Vulcan and Klingon languages for the “Star Trek” series.
- Originally, the final battle was to be only on land. The creators had decided put the action in the air to create a more dramatic sequence.
- First Disney animated film since The Black Cauldron (1985) to be released with a “PG” rating by the MPAA.
- After Milo gets seasick on the first ship, his line, “Carrots? Why are there always carrots? I didn’t even eat carrots!” was ad-libbed by Michael J. Fox.
**
Princess Diaries 2001

- The film was produced by singer and actress Whitney Houston.
- Anne Hathaway was hired for the role of Mia because Gary Marshall’s granddaughters saw her audition tape and said she had the best “princess hair.”
- The autograph seekers, Lilly and Charlotte, are director Garry Marshall’s twin granddaughters. Also, one of the buildings in the school was the “Lilly and Charlotte Grove Building.”
- Garry Marshall confessed that nearly all the film crew had a go on the fireman’s pole.
- It was Anne Hathaway’s idea to have the pore strip on her nose.
- While filming the final celebratory dance scene, the Madonna song “Like A Prayer” was played on a boom-box to elicit natural dancing from the actors on set (to be then dubbed over by the song that appears in the film’s final cut). The assistant director had to do multiple takes of this scene because the actors kept mouthing the words to “Like A Prayer” while on camera.
- Mia’s cat, Fat Louie, was Anne Hathaway’s pet in real life. Four different cats played the role. One who allowed people to carry it, one who could sit still, another who would jump and the last one who sits on the envelope at the end of the movie.
- Juliette Lewis was originally offered the role of Mia but turned the role down. Christina Applegate, Amanda Peet, Cameron Diaz, Alyssa Milano, Josie Davis, Kate Beckinsale, Tiffani Thiessen, Eva Mendes, Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Silverstone, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brittany Murphy, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Claire Danes, Kate Hudson, Christina Ricci, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel and Kirsten Dunst were all offered the role of Mia after Lewis departed, but turned it down.
**
Monsters Inc 2001

- The release of Monsters, Inc. was almost delayed by a lawsuit brought by Lori Madrid against Pixar, Disney and Chronicle Books. The suit alleged the defendants had stolen her story There’s a Boy in My Closet, which she had mailed out in October 1999 to a number of publishers, including Chronicle Books. The plaintiffs had requested a temporary injunction against the release of the film. Judge Clarence Brimmer, Jr. had a hearing on the injunction on November 1, 2001, the day before the film was to be released. He judged against the injunction, and the entire suit was thrown out on June 26, 2002
- Monsters, Inc. was featured on Happy Meal toys, it was also featured on Tropicana with stickers shaped rectangularly.
- News leaked in early fall of 2001 that this movie would feature the first teaser for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002). Hundreds of Star Wars fans paid admission for the movie just to see the teaser and reportedly some left after seeing it.
- This is the fourth movie to feature both John Goodman and Steve Buscemi and is the first of the four not to be directed and produced by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen.
-About 3:26 into the movie, when the simulation is ended and the monster reaches for a knob on the control panel to review the videotape, just below and to the left of the knob is a little indicator which reads “510-752-3000″, which is Pixar’s phone number.
- It normally took 11 to 12 hours to render a single frame of Sulley because of his 2.3 million individually animated hair strands (Total number of hairs: 2,320,413).
**
Lilo & Stitch2001

- Teaser trailers for this film parody trailers for other Disney films (two of these were animated by Sanders) from recent years. These are called “Inter-Stitch-als” and are featured on Disney’s official site. The original actors were brought back to reprise their roles and were shocked when asked to act negatively towards Stitch. The trailers also include the AC/DC song track Back In Black.

– Lilo & Stitch received very positive reviews from critics and movie-goers alike, and along with The Princess and the Frog was one of only two Walt Disney Feature Animation/Walt Disney Animation Studios productions released during the 2000s to meet with critical approval and make its cost back during its original theatrical run.
- Hawaii-born cast members Jason Scott Lee and Tia Carrere helped the writers with dialog and accents.
- The name “Lilo” means “Generous One” and its origin is Hawaiian. It can also be interpreted as “Lost” and this would give the song title “He Mele No Lilo” a loose translation as “Lullaby of the Lost”.
- The name Nani means “Beautiful” in Hawaiian.
- After Lilo throws her doll Scrump on the ground, then picks it up and walks away, Scrump begins to smile.

**
Treasure Planet 2002

- Joseph Gordon-Levitt stated that he was attracted to his voice role because “it’s a Disney animated movie and Disney animated movies are in a class by themselves,” and that “to be part of that tradition is unbelievable to me”.
- The name of the ship, “R.L.S. Legacy” is a reference to the book’s (“Treasure Island”) author, Robert Louis Stevenson.
- The performance of Jim Hawkins was based in part on James Dean.
- Alan Silvestri left the movie to work on Lilo & Stitch (2002). The company then wanted James Newton Howard to score the film, who had conducted, and recorded all his music scores in less then five months.
- This was Patrick McGoohan’s final acting role before his death on January 13, 2009.
- In the end of the film, Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia (two aliens) got together and had children. In a few lines cut from the film it was revealed that Dr. Doppler (the male alien) gave birth to the children. Disney ordered the lines to be cut because they thought males giving birth, even male aliens, was too risque for a children’s movie.
**
Finding Nemo 2003

- In an interview, Megan Mullally revealed that she was originally doing a voice in the film. According to Mullally, the producers were quite disappointed to learn that the voice of her character Karen Walker on the television show Will & Grace wasn’t her natural speaking voice. The producers hired her anyway, and then strongly encouraged her to use her Karen Walker voice for the role. When Mullally refused, she was fired.
- The character, Bruce, shares his name with the mechanical sharks built for the 1975 production of Jaws, collectively nicknamed “Bruce” by the production team after Steven Spielberg’s lawyer, Bruce Ramer.
- The coloration of Gill’s face simulates the characteristic lines around the mouth of voice actor Willem Dafoe.
- To see how realistic they could make it appear, the art team were asked to make exact copies of actual underwater and above water shots. Ultimately the results were simply deemed “too realistic” for a cartoon.
- Afraid that kids would try releasing their pet fish by flushing them down a drain, a company that manufactures equipment used by water filtration and sewage treatment plants released a warning the Thursday after the film came out saying that, even though drains do eventually reach the ocean, before it got there the water would go through equipment which breaks down solids, and went on to say that in real life the movie would more appropriately be called “Grinding Nemo”.
- In order for it to sound like Nigel had Marlin and Dory in his mouth, Geoffrey Rush held onto his tongue as he said his lines.
**
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2003

- After researching 18th century pirates, Depp compared them to modern rock stars and decided to base his performance on Keith Richards.
- Walt Disney Pictures also took a big risk in allowing it to be the first PG-13 rated film by the studio, with one executive noting that she found the film too intense for her five-year old child Umm…it’s a movie about pirates, lady….
- When returning from a night shoot on one of the Caribbean islands, Keira Knightley’s boat struck a reef and went down. The only people aboard were Knightley, her mother Sharman Macdonald and the boat’s skipper, all of whom escaped unharmed and were rescued within a few hours. However, the incident ultimately determined that the rest of the island night shoots needed would complete filming in a studio, rather than on location.
- The scene where Orlando Bloom impersonates Johnny Depp’s performance was devised by Bloom who asked producer Jerry Bruckheimer if he could put it into the movie.
- The substance sprayed on William Turner after the sword fight between him and Captain Jack Sparrow is actually powdered chocolate.
- The various “eunuch” lines were improvisations by Johnny Depp.
- The words “pirate” and “piracy” are said 56 times.
- According to the DVD commentaries, Geoffrey Rush has a theory that people watch the screen from left to right, just like when they read a book. Therefore, he tried to be in the left side of the screen as often as possible. He was particularly intent on doing this in the scenes with the monkey and Keira Knightley because he didn’t think anyone would look at him otherwise.
- In an early version of the script, according to the DVD commentary, Norrington was to ask Elizabeth to marry him and she says no. Enraged by this Norrington was going to join Barbossa and the two of them were going to try take over the Caribbean. However this script was turned down.
**
Brother Bear2003

- The third and final film to be fully produced at Disney’s Orlando, Florida animation facility at the Walt Disney World Disney-MGM Theme Park (after Mulan (1998) and Lilo & Stitch (2002)). This studio was shut down in March 2004 in favor of computer animated features.
- The lines, “I don’t care that you and Binky found the world’s biggest pine cone ever” and “First of all, it’s not Binky, it’s Bucky, and it wasn’t a pine cone it was a pine nut” said by Kenai (Joaquin Phoenix) and Koda (Jeremy Suarez) was an accidental improvisation because Phoenix messed up his line and Suarez corrected it.
- The cliff where Kenai kills Koda’s mother then changes into a bear is shaped like a bear’s head.
- The only one of the major animated Disney movies (which do not include Dinosaur (2000)) to include the black and orange Disney Pictures logo in its initial release. The black and orange logo was first used in 2000 and only lasted until 2006 when an elaborate CGI logo was unveiled during the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006).
- Jason Raize, who provided the voice of Denahi, originated the role of Adult Simba in “The Lion King” on Broadway.
**
Home on the Range 2004

- This film earned its “PG” rating due to one of Maggie’s lines about her udders (“Yeah, they’re real. Quit staring.”)
- The working title of this film was “Sweating Bullets” and an early plot idea was about a calf named Bullets who saved his herd from a band of ghost cattle rustlers called the Willies.
- Writers Will Finn and John Sanford originally pitched the film as an animated feature film based on the myth of the Pied Piper. Maggie the Cow was originally written as a deaf girl. Michael Eisner immediately hated the idea, because he thought no parent would take their children to see a movie where children are murdered. So Will and John wrote this movie, which contains elements from the Pied Piper myth.
**
The Incredibles 2004

- John Barry was originally hired to score the film in his James Bond-style, but left the project after recording only a few demo themes; some were used for theater trailers.
- Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of Walt Disney’s Nine Old Men (his team of nine supervising master animators from the classic era of animation), provide voices for their own caricatures near the end of the film. They also appeared in and provided the voices for the train engineers in The Iron Giant (1999), which was also directed by Brad Bird. This is not the first time Pixar Animation Studios has included references to famous animators in its films (see the trivia for Monsters, Inc. (2001)).
- In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice, Brad Bird made Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.
- The code to Edna’s Lab is 6395742.

Monsters Inc 2001

- The release of Monsters, Inc. was almost delayed by a lawsuit brought by Lori Madrid against Pixar, Disney and Chronicle Books. The suit alleged the defendants had stolen her story There’s a Boy in My Closet, which she had mailed out in October 1999 to a number of publishers, including Chronicle Books. The plaintiffs had requested a temporary injunction against the release of the film. Judge Clarence Brimmer, Jr. had a hearing on the injunction on November 1, 2001, the day before the film was to be released. He judged against the injunction, and the entire suit was thrown out on June 26, 2002
- Monsters, Inc. was featured on Happy Meal toys, it was also featured on Tropicana with stickers shaped rectangularly.

Lilo & Stitch2001

- Teaser trailers for this film parody trailers for other Disney films (two of these were animated by Sanders) from recent years. These are called “Inter-Stitch-als” and are featured on Disney’s official site. The original actors were brought back to reprise their roles and were shocked when asked to act negatively towards Stitch. The trailers also include the AC/DC song track Back In Black.

- Lilo & Stitch received very positive reviews from critics and movie-goers alike, and along with The Princess and the Frog was one of only two Walt Disney Feature Animation/Walt Disney Animation Studios productions released during the 2000s to meet with critical approval and make its cost back during its original theatrical run.
- Hawaii-born cast members Jason Scott Lee and Tia Carrere helped the writers with dialog and accents.
- The name “Lilo” means “Generous One” and its origin is Hawaiian. It can also be interpreted as “Lost” and this would give the song title “He Mele No Lilo” a loose translation as “Lullaby of the Lost”.
- The name Nani means “Beautiful” in Hawaiian.
- After Lilo throws her doll Scrump on the ground, then picks it up and walks away, Scrump begins to smile.

- The performance of Jim Hawkins was based in part on James Dean.

- This was Patrick McGoohan’s final acting role before his death on January 13, 2009.
- In the end of the film, Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia (two aliens) got together and had children. In a few lines cut from the film it was revealed that Dr. Doppler (the male alien) gave birth to the children. Disney ordered the lines to be cut because they thought males giving birth, even male aliens, was too risque for a children’s movie.

Finding Nemo 2003

- In an interview, Megan Mullally revealed that she was originally doing a voice in the film. According to Mullally, the producers were quite disappointed to learn that the voice of her character Karen Walker on the television show Will & Grace wasn’t her natural speaking voice. The producers hired her anyway, and then strongly encouraged her to use her Karen Walker voice for the role. When Mullally refused, she was fired.
- The character, Bruce, shares his name with the mechanical sharks built for the 1975 production of Jaws, collectively nicknamed “Bruce” by the production team after Steven Spielberg’s lawyer, Bruce Ramer.
- The coloration of Gill’s face simulates the characteristic lines around the mouth of voice actor Willem Dafoe.
- To see how realistic they could make it appear, the art team were asked to make exact copies of actual underwater and above water shots. Ultimately the results were simply deemed “too realistic” for a cartoon.
- Afraid that kids would try releasing their pet fish by flushing them down a drain, a company that manufactures equipment used by water filtration and sewage treatment plants released a warning the Thursday after the film came out saying that, even though drains do eventually reach the ocean, before it got there the water would go through equipment which breaks down solids, and went on to say that in real life the movie would more appropriately be called “Grinding Nemo”.
- In order for it to sound like Nigel had Marlin and Dory in his mouth, Geoffrey Rush held onto his tongue as he said his lines.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2003

- After researching 18th century pirates, Depp compared them to modern rock stars and decided to base his performance on Keith Richards.
- Walt Disney Pictures also took a big risk in allowing it to be the first PG-13 rated film by the studio, with one executive noting that she found the film too intense for her five-year old child Umm…it’s a movie about pirates, lady….
- When returning from a night shoot on one of the Caribbean islands, Keira Knightley’s boat struck a reef and went down. The only people aboard were Knightley, her mother Sharman Macdonald and the boat’s skipper, all of whom escaped unharmed and were rescued within a few hours. However, the incident ultimately determined that the rest of the island night shoots needed would complete filming in a studio, rather than on location.
- The scene where Orlando Bloom impersonates Johnny Depp’s performance was devised by Bloom who asked producer Jerry Bruckheimer if he could put it into the movie.
- The substance sprayed on William Turner after the sword fight between him and Captain Jack Sparrow is actually powdered chocolate.
- The various “eunuch” lines were improvisations by Johnny Depp.
- The words “pirate” and “piracy” are said 56 times.
- According to the DVD commentaries, Geoffrey Rush has a theory that people watch the screen from left to right, just like when they read a book. Therefore, he tried to be in the left side of the screen as often as possible. He was particularly intent on doing this in the scenes with the monkey and Keira Knightley because he didn’t think anyone would look at him otherwise.
- In an early version of the script, according to the DVD commentary, Norrington was to ask Elizabeth to marry him and she says no. Enraged by this Norrington was going to join Barbossa and the two of them were going to try take over the Caribbean. However this script was turned down.

- The lines, “I don’t care that you and Binky found the world’s biggest pine cone ever” and “First of all, it’s not Binky, it’s Bucky, and it wasn’t a pine cone it was a pine nut” said by Kenai (Joaquin Phoenix) and Koda (Jeremy Suarez) was an accidental improvisation because Phoenix messed up his line and Suarez corrected it.
- The cliff where Kenai kills Koda’s mother then changes into a bear is shaped like a bear’s head.
- The only one of the major animated Disney movies (which do not include Dinosaur (2000)) to include the black and orange Disney Pictures logo in its initial release. The black and orange logo was first used in 2000 and only lasted until 2006 when an elaborate CGI logo was unveiled during the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006).
- Jason Raize, who provided the voice of Denahi, originated the role of Adult Simba in “The Lion King” on Broadway.

Home on the Range 2004

- This film earned its “PG” rating due to one of Maggie’s lines about her udders (“Yeah, they’re real. Quit staring.”)
- The working title of this film was “Sweating Bullets” and an early plot idea was about a calf named Bullets who saved his herd from a band of ghost cattle rustlers called the Willies.
- Writers Will Finn and John Sanford originally pitched the film as an animated feature film based on the myth of the Pied Piper. Maggie the Cow was originally written as a deaf girl. Michael Eisner immediately hated the idea, because he thought no parent would take their children to see a movie where children are murdered. So Will and John wrote this movie, which contains elements from the Pied Piper myth.

- Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of Walt Disney’s Nine Old Men (his team of nine supervising master animators from the classic era of animation), provide voices for their own caricatures near the end of the film. They also appeared in and provided the voices for the train engineers in The Iron Giant (1999), which was also directed by Brad Bird. This is not the first time Pixar Animation Studios has included references to famous animators in its films (see the trivia for Monsters, Inc. (2001)).
