Have you seen Disney’s Moana? We bet you didn’t spot the HUGE nod to Frozen in it

Only die-hard Frozen fans will have spotted the tribute...

IT’S the latest Disney movie to clean up at the box office.

Moana follows the adventures of a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfil her ancestors’ unfinished quest.

During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui, and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage.

But in true Disney fashion, the film has paid tribute to another of its much-loved classics: Frozen.

A key character from the ice fantasy has been hidden inside a Moana scene – but did you spot it?

It takes place in the Tamatoa sketch where the big crab sings ‘Shiny’ and Maui steals back his magical hook.

The hook allows Maui to transform into various animals.

He tries to change into his classic Giant Hawk form, but he’s a bit out of practice and ends up morphing into a variety of creatures.

He turns into a fish, a shark and an iguana before changing into Sven, the adorable reindeer from Frozen.

It’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment as he quickly changes back into his normal self.

But this isn't the first time the cartoon movies have become intertwined.

A Disney fan has claimed that Tangled, Frozen and The Little Mermaid are all linked.

While another fan theory believes Tarzan is the real prince of Frozen’s Arendelle.
