Just about every Disney movie has references to other Disney classics, and Moana is no exception. Seriously, it's jam-packed with easter eggs from all of your faves, including Frozen, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. Prepare to be mind blown.

1. Olaf appears in Moana's basket.

When Moana sets off into the ocean to find Maui, she packs a handful of things in her basket, and if you look close enough, you can spot Olaf's arm and nose among the pile.

2. Maui turns into Sven from "Frozen."

As Maui struggles to shape-shift with his newly recovered fish hook, he turns into Frozen's Sven for just a split second. Skip to 1:23 in the video below to see for yourself.

3. Moana's necklace looks like Ursula's.

Clearly Moana's necklace does not hold human's voices captive, but you have to admit, the two look very similar. The swirls are almost identical.

4. Moana wears a pink flower in her hair.

Baby Moana and Ariel look absolutely precious with pink flowers in their hair. Think Moana grabbed some beauty inspo from the little mermaid?

5. Tamatoa makes a joke about Sebastian the crab.

At the end of the credits, Tamatoa is laying on his shell and struggling to get back up. He then turns to the camera and says, "Can we be real? If my name was Sebastian and I had a cool Jamaican accent, you'd totally help me." I mean, he's not wrong.

6. Flounder makes a cameo.

Flounder from The Little Mermaid appears on screen during Maui's song, "You're Welcome." Pay extra attention around 2:26.

7. Wreck-It-Ralph appears at the end of the credits.

Just before the movie credits end, you can see Wreck-It-Ralph on a tapa cloth.

8. Moan's messy hair looks like Princess Anna's bed head.

We've all been there, right?

9. Mini Maui resembles Jiminy Cricket.

Like Pinocchio's Jiminy Cricket, Mini Maui is the sidekick character who serves as the conscience and voice of reason. In fact, Jiminy helped inspire the animated tattoo.

"Somewhere in the process, Mini Maui started to emerge, almost as a Jiminy Cricket alter ego; the tattoo can't speak, but he can communicate with Maui," John Musker, one of the movie's directors, told The Hollywood Reporter.

10. Zootopia's Flash is in disguise.

This easter egg was almost impossible to spot, so no worries if you missed it. Take a closer look at this masked monster and you'll notice his claws look awfully familiar.

11. The baby turtle looks like Finding Nemo's Squirt.

At the beginning of the movie, Moana protects a baby turtle from predators, and honestly, the little creature looks just like Squirt. Either way, those big, round eyes are to die for!

12. Tamatoa found Genie's lamp.

Tamatoa has collected a lot of gold over the years, but Genie's lamp (located on the bottom left) is by far the greatest treasure of all.

13. The ocean acts just like Aladdin's magic carpet.

Maybe it's their magical abilities or their hilarious personalities, but these two characters could not be more alike.
