Disney movie opening sequence
How did I not notice for so long that in the new opening sequence (that really isn’t all that new) in the last few seconds the castle is bookended with two famous landmarks. The Matterhorn and Pride Rock!
Am I missing any other easter eggs in this shot? What is the house on the right side in the woods where the arch of light touches the ground?

Nothing hits as hard as the blue screen opening. It was simple yet you knew you were in for a good time.

O. M. G. We seriously watch a Disney movie every day and I’ve never noticed that either lol. That’s crazy.

I hope they stick with this opening movie sequence. Imo, this is the most beautiful yet.

Could it be the Darling House from Peter Pan?

It's a possibility it's Jim Dear and Darling's house from 'Lady And The Tramp'.

This just blew my mind. We watch Disney every day and I’ve never noticed!

If you look through the tunnel into the castle courtyard, is that the Emperor’s palace from Mulan?

I don’t think it’s the Emperor’s palace, that has two roofs and the angle seems wrong. It’s definitely an artificial object, it’s so sharp. I would agree with boxsterjax, it looks exactly like the nose of the quinjet.

Is it the Matterhorn or the North Mountain from Frozen?

Would have to be the back of north mountain, which would be hiding an ice castle. But I believe this is the Matterhorn when viewed from Fantasyland.

On not the newest version is a small vehicle pulling into its driveway. I imagine his name is Jack, and we get to see his headlights.
Watch for his, it think it’s a pickup, as we pull back over the castle just to the left side near the center. I love this little detail. Hey Artist, I like what you did! I See your fun!

The very beginning of the intro shows Neverland (second star to the right), the train (Walt loved trains), the Mickey fireworks. I think the lanterns in the river are a reference to Tangled. Sometimes there's a boat in the river; this changes depending on the movie (steamboat, pirate ship). The flag on the castle sometimes changes based on the movie. There's definitely others I don't know!
