Back to “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”, third part of the famous saga, and to a small detail that hardly anyone had seen on the nautical chart that Will Turner studied at the beginning of the film.
Like other famous popular culture franchises such as Star Wars, Matrix or Indiana Jones, the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, which began in the early 2000s by director Gore Verbinski, contains several minor references, particularly related to the Disney attraction it is based on. inspired.
Some Easter eggs — like the scene where Jack Sparrow tries to coax a marrowbone dog into breaking out of prison — will pop fans right in the eye, without them having to make any effort to see them. But others, like the ones we’re going to talk about here, are much harder to spot, or even downright impossible to find if you don’t know exactly where to look for them.
The hidden detail that will interest us today is at the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, the third part of the saga released in 2007. To recognize it, you have to freeze the frame at 24 minutes and 16 seconds of the film, very precisely.

To the right of your screen, in the sixth circle of the map, just next to Will Turner’s right hand, you will indeed be able to make out a very small silhouette of Mickey Mouse, facing a huge tiger.
