Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the most famous songwriters alive. His hit musicals In the Heights and Hamilton made him a Broadway legend. He successfully transitioned to film by writing songs for Disney’s Moana, including the hit “How Far I’ll Go.”
Disney fans are only just realising Finding Nemo’s Crush and Squirt are in Moana. However, even we didn’t spot this clever Easter egg hiding in 2016 flick Moana. It turns out Finding Nemo’s Crush and Squirt make a very subtle appearance in the film, but did you ever spot it?
