Its one of my favourite [cameos in the film], he said. I can speak to that. Its one of my favourite things in the movie. And Im very excited for people to see it I dont know what I should, what Im allowed to say [about it]. I think I will actually plead the fifth. Rescue Rangers features other animated cameos ranging from classic Disney characters to more obscure creations. Speaking broadly about the process of securing them, Schaffer said he wanted to thank the lawyers. It was super-important to me to get a bunch of third-party cartoons, because if this is going to be some sort of a celebration of animation, it cant just be a celebration of Disney animation, he explained. The [characters] you see in the movie sometimes we had to try two or three other things before we found one that could be licensed. It was a process. [] You dont usually come out of a movie and want to thank the lawyers, but we genuinely owe the Disney lawyers for being team players. [They] super stayed optimistic about it, and really saw the value of the third-party stuff, and they had to really work hard. [] Its easy for me to go, like, Oh, it would be cool if My Little Pony was in the movie, and theyre like, running in the hallways [] But then [the lawyers] have to go call Mattel and pitch them the movie, and tell them its not making fun of [the characters], and then I have to get on, and then blah, blah, blah. So it was a process. But you know, it makes [the movie] so much better.
