Coco Apparently Has A Shining Easter Egg

Ah, Pixar. The wonderful animation studio that has given us countless unforgettable and heart-wrenching tales. Their stories have impact, and their characters are timeless — they’re the perfect studio for the whole family, right? Sure, there are tons of little in-jokes that are often fun little nods to both their history and their future, but not all of them.

Every so often, there’s an Easter egg that doesn’t allude to anything of Pixar’s, but rather an appreciation for film in general. Occasionally, they don’t even fall under the “kid-friendly” category. Such is this one Easter egg from Coco. Speaking with Yahoo!, director Lee Unkrich revealed a Shining reference in the background of one of the shots.

Check it out below:

Did you see them on a canvas in the background? If you didn’t, here’s what you should be looking for:

That’s right, Coco features none other than the infamous sisters from the Stanley Kubrick-directed film (and no, they’re not twins, the one on the left is clearly a couple years older than the one on the right). While it’s hard to make out, it looks like the painting has them in their fitting skeleton form, which is fun.

It’s no huge deal, but it goes to show the personality and fun the studio allows in their films.
