Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The Dog with the Keys
A direct reference to the original Disneyland ride, where a group of prisoners tries to lure a dog holding the keys to their cell with a bone.
Mickey in the Moon
When the curse is broken and the smoke clears at the end, the craters on the moon briefly form the shape of a Hidden Mickey.
Tortuga Cameos
Several background pirates in the Tortuga scenes are dressed in costumes that are exact replicas of the animatronic figures from the theme park attraction.
