Warning: Spoilers ahead for Disney's "Frozen 2."
The new sequel to "Frozen" is packed with small details and references you might not have noticed.
From Disney Easter eggs of other characters and movies like "The Little Mermaid" to neat costume parallels, here are all the things you might have missed.

Disney's new animated sequel, "Frozen 2," has several key moments you might not see upon your first viewing of the movie. We watched the film twice to try to catch all the best Disney references (like nods to "Big Hero Six," "The Little Mermaid," and more) plus cool examples of foreshadowing.

Keep reading to see 22 details you might have missed in "Frozen 2."

In the opening flashback, Anna and Elsa are playing with small snow figurines, including a little Dumbo.

One of the other figures is Baymax, the lovable robot from Disney's 2014 animated movie "Big Hero Six."

Both "Bolt" and "Big Hero Six" were codirected by Chris Williams, the same man who voiced Oaken in the "Frozen" movies.

When Anna and Elsa hear the story of the enchanted forest for the first time, there's a small horse figurine sitting on Elsa's bedside table.

Our first hint that Queen Iduna was the one who saved King Agnarr came when little Anna reacted to her father's story.

Starting in those flashbacks, we see a lot of important patterns.

We saw that diamond pattern — which was also on Agnarr's coat trim — in the first "Frozen" movie.

The new symbol was shown in the very first poster for "Frozen 2."

Anna and Elsa's first dresses and necklaces seen in "Frozen 2" were hints about how they'd separate by the end of the movie.

Anna was always more connected to Arendelle, both emotionally and literally (through her costuming), so it makes sense she winds up being the queen.

Anna's traveling cloak also tells part of the story about her relationship to Elsa and Kristoff.

The color of the cape Anna wears for the first two acts in "Frozen 2" is similar to Elsa's cape from the first movie.

The cape Elsa wore and then discarded during the iconic "Let It Go" number had an Arendelle sigil on it, further showing her disconnect from the kingdom. Disney

It's only when Elsa literally pushes Anna away and onto a different path that the younger princess stops wearing the magenta cape.

When Anna was wearing her traveling cloak, she was more visually connected to Elsa.

But once the cape is gone, we can see clearly how Anna's outfit actually matches the one Kristoff had been wearing the whole time.

Now onto some fun Easter eggs. When Kristoff is singing in "Some Things Never Change," you can briefly see little statues made in the likeness of two Disney animators.

It looks like Elsa's silhouette is on Arendelle's money.

If you look closely, you can make out Elsa's head on the coins. Disney

There's a hidden Mickey in the scene when Olaf sings "When I Am Older."

We're pretty sure this is the hidden Mickey design. Disney

You might have noticed that a scene shown in the trailer for "Frozen 2" never appeared in the movie.

Anna grabs Kristoff's sword at the end of the first "Frozen 2" teaser trailer. Disney

That scene had already been cut from the movie by the time the teaser premiered, but the fan reaction persuaded the directors to add it back in somehow.

Kristoff's song "Lost in the Woods" was invoking lots of '80s rock ballads and gave a nod to "Bohemian Rhapsody."

When Elsa sees all the snow memories in Ahtohallan, there's a reference to "The Little Mermaid."

There is a mermaid figure on the cover on Agnarr's book. Disney

This could be a hint about what year "Frozen" takes place.

When Olaf "dies," his snow is gathered by Gale and dotted with purple flowers.

When Anna is revealed as the queen of Arendelle, her hairstyle perfectly mirrors Elsa's original coronation style.

In the post-credits scene we see that the snow goblin has Elsa's crown — the one threw away while singing "Let it Go" in the first movie.
