One underrated part of learning more and more movie easter eggs is that you can mildly amuse (or annoy) someone watching something for the first time. In some cases, this behavior has become so common that it actually spawns its own memes.

For example, fans of the second Lord of the Rings film, the Two Towers, will generally bombard new viewers with the fact that actor Viggo Mortensen broke a toe in real life when he kicked a helmet on screen. His cry of pain is completely real and the director, Peter Jackson decided to simply leave it in the film.

In general, filmmaking is such a massive and collaborative process that it’s no wonder that all of these creatives combined start to add their own little details. After all, from costumes, to props and sets, most background details are hand-made somewhere. Once you include the writers, director, actors and the hundreds of others involved, there is a lot of space to hide something interesting.

Fun fact, and slight spoiler alert: while Perdita does appear in the original book by Dodie Smith, and was indeed a mother dog, she wasn't Pongo's "wife," nor did she give birth to his puppies. That honor belongs to Missus. The book is quite a bit different from the Disney movies - for example, Cruella wasn't a crazed lunatic, but rather was elegant, sophisticated, and coldly calculating - and in my not-so-humble-opinion far superior to them.
