More people should see Coraline and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. They’re hidden gems in the long list of animated movies

I never pegged the "Frozen Heart" metaphor before, but it seems more obvious now. Also, Hans sings "You" and Anna completes "And I", signifying how their relationship is mostly about Anna.

Here’s something about the Atlantis twist: there as a little exchange between Helga and Rourke when they entered Atlantis that some may have missed, where Helga informs him about people living in the lost city, saying “this changes everything”, in which Rourke replies with “this changes nothing.” I actually missed this on my first viewing, and I wonder if anyone else actually noticed that this foreshadows the upcoming betrayal.

It's amazing how Coraline is such an iconic film, Yet not too many people seem to talk about it anymore in terms of movie review and analysis videos. But at least people are still watching it which is good enough!

Missed One: In Madagascar, Marty says “This could be the best thing that’s ever happened to us”. Alex denies that hard. However, in Madagascar 3, when they return to the zoo, Alex says “Leaving the zoo, was the best thing that ever happened to us.”.

Coraline is still one of those movies that can cause a lot of eyes to open wide, and get some people to ask, “how in the world is this made for kids”

Disney always did a great job at foreshadowing the inevitable, and we still don’t see it coming till the reveal

“Amphibia” had a lot of foreshadowings throughout the season trilogy when it comes to loose an eye or arm, missing one shoe, and dialogues that we did not see it coming. I love how they show elements that create the entire story arc.

The fact the color foreshadowing of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse isn't even on this list is insane! Who could've guessed we've been teasing one of the biggest plot twists in animation five years ago?

11:39 At least there was no romance between Wilbur and his young mother, unlike another famous movie about a boy who traveled through time and his young mother fell in love with him.

There's also the fact that Han's and Kristoff's body language is different towards Anna. While Hans creeps up on her, not maintaining eye contact, Kristoff picks her up from her front, not her back, and maintains eye contact while doing so.

Why No Capes?! Why not “I don’t see anyone from the old days Bob, just you” that to me’s more important

Friends on the other side should have been here as there are many different cases of foreshadowing.

I feel like death wolf hiding in the croud after puss hits the sign and drinks the coffee is better foreshadowing than the Jack Horner sign.

The Coraline cake double O loop meaning someone is lying. She’s welcome but she’s not home.

Coraline is one of my favourite animated movies and all the foreshadowing is obvious now

Coraline DID give me sleepless nights. A decade’s worth of them

I don't know if forshadow in sequels count, but I wish they discussed Reverse-Flash's appearance in Suicide Squad Hell to Pay after he got shot in The Flashpoint Paradox

I’m glad “No Capes” was number one. Syndrome should of brushed up on his super history 😊

I would have chosen Death hidden in the crowd at the start of Puss in Boots 2 when he’s laughing at death/acting pompous during the giant fight.

Also in WALL-E when you see the pictures of Autopilot with the Captain, the Autopilot gets closer and closer to the centre of the frame with each photo, foreshadowing that Autopilot has grown more powerful and is going to supplant the current Captain entirely, which is his eventual end goal, only stumbling at the last second. In Megmind Minion fakes his death in the intro. foreshadowing that he will be alive after Hal has been defeated, even though we think he's dead. Maybe it even foreshadows Metro Man faking his death

1:35 Seriously?!?! The Bakery Sign is on this list?!?! What about all the hints regarding the Wolf's true identity???

In Coco there's more good ones, like when at the beginning Miguel says something like ' I have to perform at the plaza even if it kills me...'

IF you're able to find more foreshadowing in other Disney dreamworks or Pixar movies, will DEFINITELY be HOPING for an eventual part 2 PLEASE 🥺🙏🤞?

What about the camera panning towards Bridgette after Gristle’s conversation that he won’t be able to be happy since the Trolls escaped in the first Trolls movie?Or also, Gru telling Lucy on their first mission that the Cantina owner looked a lot like an old deceased villain Gru knew and after Lucy told him that El Macho sounds a little dead,Gru told her that they never found his body in Despicable Me 2.

The foreshadowing in "How to Train Your Dragon 2" about the Night Fury being almost extinct. When Valka is petting Toothless in her sanctuary, she states "he very well may be the last of his kind!" In the third film, it's revealed that Grimmel has hunted down every Night Fury besides Toothless. This is very deliberate, as in a promo clip of the same scene from HTTYD2, Valka originally says "I've never seen a Night Fury this close." They had to change it in the final film to avoid confusion in THW.

My favorite "Coraline" Easter Egg is the writing on the cake "Welcome Home." The 'o' in Welcome is closed but there is a double loop on the 'o' in home. According to Graphology, a double loop on a lower case O means that the person who wrote it is lying. There is only one double loop, meaning she is welcome but she is not home

Where's Pochontas with the Shamsns vision when the wolves swirl around Kockum?

Lucifer from cinderella reminds me of Tom from Tom & Jerry

In my case, it'll be Dolores prophecy. Happy sunday afternoon, Phoebe. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

Suprising Fact In Megamind, When Minion hit Hal with the Forgive Me Stick, you would see a Book Hal was reading "Comic Book Supervillains"

The MsMojo lady was having so much fun with the puns in this one !

5:31: Those 2 DO NOT COUNT because they were shown AFTER WE DIDCOVERED SHE WAS THE CRIMSON PAW!!!!

Water nooses speech to Sully. During their talk while he's getting coffee, he says the company's been in the family for 3 generations and would do anything to keep it from going under. As the company's head he would stick to his word, but we'd never know how far he'd go until the scream extractor.

There is a theory going around that Syndrome made Edna make his suit and that she knew or had at least an idea of him being responsible for the death of all the superheroes so she attached purposely a cape to his suit

Another forshadowing in puss in boots is death having a pressence everywhere From the watching crowed in the intro fight you see him in a quick or miss it moment hiding in the shadows And when puss recount his deaths (pun not intended) in the cutaway cards you see death on the edges of each card

Atlantis is one of Disney's most underrated gem!❤

3:13 Her glasses are actually hexagons

This just made me think I have to watch Atlantis again, I haven't seen it since I was little.

I feel like ASTV's Earth 42 reveal should have been in the top 3. Literally, it was foreshadowed at the VERY START of ISTV, along with Spider-42 glitching when Miles checked it out

Tarzan has 1 scene where Kerchak and Kalas son is about 2 chase a chameleon but is stopped by Kerchak. Then the following nkght he's not lucky when he chases a frog then chased and killed by Sabor the leopard. That was a bit of foreshadowing i never noticed until now.

Ha! I just started reading through Sense and Sensibility today! 😂 Emma Thompson’s in the movie version and plays someone named Elinor! Like in Brave!

If I were you guys, I'd replace the Frozen Heart with Jim Hawkins' solar-surfing skills in the underrated Disney masterpiece, Treasure Planet. But as usual, you went with the obvious popular choice instead of the better and more deserving one for biased reasons. I've already explained that in great detail in the Top 20 Uses of Foreshadowing in Disney Movies list, so I'm not gonna repeat it here. Go check it out, if you haven't.

Great video

Metalocalypse Army Of The Doomstar (2023) Such a good movie

I like list

11:45 oh come on second time seeing that made me realize he had to help his mom

The foreshadowing that made me surprised and blew my mind is cloudy with a chance a meatballs 2 is that Chester v was the villain because getting flints invention was a hacking device After in the middle manny witnessed on his camera that is Live corp and it turns out it was actually the word evil spell backwards.

11:42 I liked that scene

Another example of foreshadowing in 3 is that rouke casually comments that the book had nice picture but prefers a good western and when milo mentions a page being missing like someone ripped said page out, indicates that rouke did it to hide that he and the others were after the heart of atlantis.

12:04: *oh no, not the bear puns*

You missed out on the animated movie 9. During the movie the ruling Stitchpunk 1 tells the group that he sent 2 out expecting him to die saying: “Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the good of many.” as he saw 2 as weak. Cut to towards the end of the movie where 1 realizes the errors of his ways and pushes 9 out of the way of an attack, getting his own soul sucked out, paying off the saying: “Sometimes 1 must be sacrificed for the good of many.”

I love that Victor releases a butterfly at the very start of Corspe Bride 🦋🩷

How THE HELL did you leave out WRECK IT RALPH? That movie has THE most brilliant foreshadowing ever done in a Disney movie.

There's Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death. Before, Gromit discovers that Piella is the serial killer, there is a foreshadowing: she explains to Wallace that her brakes failed and when Gromit tests her bike, the brakes were working fine.

I love brave foreshadowing.💜🧸

When I saw bad guys I thought she was guinea pig assistant but as a sly cooper fan I somewhat saw that coming

I am going to list one that remains currently theoretical. So before I put it down let me give some context. In One Piece as people know there exists the mystery Gatcha item's DEVIL Fruit. On top of that it needs to be pointed out that Luffy made the NEED for a MUSICIAN on his crew known at least twice before Brook joins. Now for the Foreshadow as I understand it. The Music of Uta from Film Red. Its both revealing for the film itself and clearly defines our Musician of the movie and the very personal head space they are currently in... meaning that the darker songs make plain what was already seen from the happier ones still having to much "control freak" energy; but on the grander scale that is the series at large Film Red can be seen through her songs as pointing out how OP music was in the past and possible future. So before you question the validity of this idea; remember the history of Tot Musica in the movie one of Uta's song is called Tot Musica... oh and as a side note almost Ado the singing voice at least for Uta has a certain fan fave on the movie collection not in the movie proper... Binks' Sake. I believe whats being foretold is that the real identity of Black Beard's inate ability (what makes him feel off to others; prompting a sense of them instead of him when referring to BB) is that he houses Tot Musica and his OG DF was in fact a version of Utas own. Thats why he has never slept; why dreams are a focus of his. Because Utas songs apply to his past we do not know also.

Transformers The Movie after Optimus Prime dies, he drops the Matrix of Leadership, but Hot Rod catches then the Matrix lights up meanwhile Unicron sees this and starts to growl foreshadows how Hot Rod opens the Matrix and becomes Rodimus Prime

Interesting

Totally forgot about Zootopia. The part where they see Doug’s number on bellwether’s phone ☎️.

In Sing 2, there's a bit of foreshadowing on the wolf Jimmy Crystal. He seems like a very nice guy at first, but with critical tactics, we can see that he's not as nice as he appears to be.

Puss in Boots: the last Wish, Spiderman Across the SpiderVerse, Mulan and Shrek 2

You also see Death in the audience watching Puss fight the giant.

I mean, over the garden wall I’d dripping in foreshadowing. All of the instances can fill it’s own video lol

11:39 THATS HIS MOTHER

To be honest, I actually like Kristoff as a child, he looks like Link from the Legend of Zelda when he was a child

Encanto is peak disney

A another one from coralline is when the other mother said that the other father was “hungry as a pumpkin” and when coralline came to get the first lost child’s eye the other father was a pumpkin 😮

Wilbur meeting Franny isn’t foreshadowing anything, he knew what his parents looked like as kids, HE’S the one from the future.

no capes

Do top 10 adult cartoons who are populair by kids

The Jungle Book's I Wanna Be Like You foreshadowed Mowgli's mastery over fire and ascension to manhood.

NO CAPES!!

The only ones to not sing We Don’t Talk About Bruno are Mirabel’s parents, Luisa, Antonio, and of course Bruno They sing about Bruno because they found a loophole in the family’s rules They were like “Are trying to get us to talk about Bruno? Cuz we’ll gladly do so… in song form!!”

Also, in Doc Ock’s office you can see the prototype for a mechanical clawed tentacle on a desk in the background

In Coraline the the cake has a double loop and in many cultures that means the person is lying so she was home just not welcome

The “Bruno” in the dancing in background of “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is Camilo (cuz he’s a shapeshifter)

Cinderella is my one of my favorite movie

The crimson paw one is obvious, everything in that movie is obvious actually

It was even worse for Syndrome, since unlike Stratgale, he went feet first.

Just because these were _good_ foreshadowing doesn't mean they were _subtle._

Hot Rod catching the matrix in Transformers the movie 86 for me foreshadowing and guessing the matrix can stop unicron.

We all came because of Caroline❤

If 42 isn’t in here I will sob

I watched Atlantis

❤

HI

I am a seamstress... NO CAPES!!!

"Cah-see-tuh"?? No offense, but something that drives some of us Spanish speakers crazy is how some people pronounce Spanish words. Lol.

isnt the hint in the bad guys just all of the animals are / were "bad guys"? reporters, police many others are human the henchmen is human but he's not a thief

The old no cap

11kth

****NO CAPES!!!!****

Oh great, it's Liv.

C'mon, Octavia's name is clearly just a gender-flipped version of the classic Doc Ock! That's so obvious it shouldn't even count as foreshadowing!

Girl, if u keep up these puns imma unsub
