18 Hidden Easter Eggs From DreamWorks Animated Movies That You Probably Missed The First Time
DreamWorks has a way of planting little details we often miss...I mean, the Easter eggs aren't just for Disney! But I bet you were too into the movies to even notice them. Fortunately for you, I picked up on them and these are the 18 that I noticed in particular:
1. Roxanne's dress color changes throughout Megamind.
2. In Penguins of Madagascar, Dave is seen drinking clam juice when the North Wind breaks into his submarine.
Clams are actually known to be one of octopuses' main source of food.
3. The prison floor in Kung Fu Panda 2 resembles the Yin Yang symbol.
4. In the opening scene in Flushed Away, Roddy pulls out Wallace's outfit from the Wallace and Gromit series.
5. In that same scene, Roddy also pulls out a Wolverine outfit.
Hugh Jackman, the voice of Roddy, also plays Wolverine in the Marvel films.
7. In Shrek 2, one of the potion bottles the workers put on a conveyor belt in Fairy Godmother's factory is marked "Fiagra"— a play on "Viagra."
DreamWorks Animation
8. In Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Mort mimics the airplane wing walker from the Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."
9. When Puss first attacks Shrek in Shrek 2, he carves a "P" into the tree.
11. Plushes of Alex from Madagascar and Gromit can be seen in the little girl's bedroom in Flushed Away.

12. In Shrek 2, the Big Bad Wolf is found reading a magazine called Pork Illustrated, a parody of Sports Illustrated.

13. The monsters in Monsters vs. Aliens are all nods to classic monster movies.

14. Mason and Phil from Madagascar make a cameo appearance on a newspaper in Turbo.

15. In The Road to El Dorado, Tzekel-Kan's sacred book contains a picture of the DreamWorks logo.

16. In Flushed Away, Roddy slides past various DreamWorks DVDs (how many can you spot?).

Maren Morris Gives Update on Coparenting With Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd: ‘Better This Way'
Maren Morris and ex-husband Ryan Hurd eventually found their stride coparenting 5-year-old son Hayes. 'We're over a year out now … [and] we get along now and have moved past a lot of it,' Morris, 35, recalled of her divorce during the Thursday, June 5, episode of the 'Dear Chelsea' podcast. 'We're neighbors, and I'm just so fortunate that we have put our son above each other's s***, and it's better for the two of us if we're getting along.' Morris and Hurd, 38, split in 2023 after five years of marriage. They finalized their divorce in 2024, splitting joint custody of Hayes. 'I'm lucky that we love each other so much still,' Morris, who publicly came out as bisexual following their divorce, gushed. 'We have the highest respect, but also there is that devastation that two people [who] love each other that much can't make it work in the real world. It's always going to be multifaceted.' Maren Morris Details Coparenting With Ex-Husband Ryan Hurd, Gives Post-Split Dating Update She added, 'I think, ultimately, we both knew it was probably going to be better this way, which is a success.' Later on the podcast, Morris reiterated that she and Hurd are 'great coparents.' 'We've let each other go in that romantic sense, even though we still have so much love and history,' Morris said. 'The person you marry is not the person you divorce, and … just the hardest part is knowing that it's not the same.' According to Morris, it was especially helpful that the judge in her and Hurd's divorce case told them 'how to split the coparenting schedule.' Ryan Hurd 'Wasn't Expecting' Maren Morris to File for Divorce 'Out of the Blue' 'That's very bizarre, but also gives me comfort to know that,' she said of the Tennessee legal process. 'The state has given us this split and we have to abide by it, so there's no, 'Well, do you get Easter or do I?' It's in writing, and that takes us and our emotions out of it, which is really helpful for both of us.' She continued, 'I won't say [it is] easy, and we do coparent super well now, but you just have to allow yourself that time to feel all the feelings.' Morris further stated that she 'feels like a woman' following the breakup, which taught her new lessons. 'I love living alone,' she said. 'Love having my space, that's very sacred [and] just not sharing a closet with someone or bathroom counter. I can have all my s*** everywhere. That feels very womanly to me. It's just, like, the liberation of home [and] space in your house, [which] is so nice.'

However, his own children have inherited his passion for movies, comics and the visual arts — though they do have their differences. 'You have to stay in the moment and stay involved," he told Esquire about parenting. "You just can't assume that things are going to go the way you expected. All three of my kids are different from one another." Read the original article on People
