If you’re a Disney lover – and honestly, who isn’t (even if it’s deep down) – then you’re going to love the facts below. Some of them might even surprise the most savvy among you!

#15. Beyoncé refused to audition for the role of Tiana, thinking she would be offered the role anyway.

I mean, she is the queen.

#14. If Finding Nemo was scientifically accurate, Nemo’s dad would have switched sexes after being widowed and then mated with his son.

That’s a whole different story, my friends.

I’ll never be able to unsee that.

Worth it.

It’s a salute to the California Institute of the Arts classroom where many of the animators got their start.

Who said you can’t learn something from children’s movies?

If that’s not the most adorable thing ever I don’t know what is.

Oh, how times have changed.

Nice work, if you can get it.

No word on why it didn’t work out, but we’re all worse off because of it, for sure.

Idk about you but this makes me like Aladdin less.
