Easter eggs

As an animation studio, Zagtoon tends to put in **easter eggs** as an intentional inside joke, hidden message or image, or secret feature of a work. This page lists all the known easter eggs that they put within their media. Feel free to add more references if you spot one that involves either ZAG Entertainment and/or a show/movie that made a reference to another show/movie.

## Easter eggs

### Within the shows/movies

* In a *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir* episode "The Mime", the ZAG logo appears on the advertisement on the bus for *The Mime's Extraordinary Adventures*.
* Various *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir* episodes would have the cars and/or buses have a license plate that reads "ZAG•100•UG". Aside from the obvious fact that "ZAG" represents ZAG Entertainment, "UG" represents Univergroup, its parent company.
* In *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*, there are advertisements at the Parc des Princes stadium that feature the ZAG logo. Sometimes, the logo spells backward as "GAZ".
* In a *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir* episode "Copycat", Théo Barbot owns a Maneki-neko (a cat figurine) that bears a resemblance to Néko, the main antagonist of *Kobushi*.
	+ According to a now-deleted tweet by Thomas Astruc, Néko's cameo is a reference to one of ZAG animation's future projects. He might be referring to the upcoming CGI feature film of *Kobushi* that was in production at that time.
* In a *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir* episode "Darkblade", there's a poster for a film called "Le Manoir de Grace Ouilette". If you look closely at the poster, it is said that the in-universe film is produced by Univergroup. Univergroup happens to be the parent company of ZAG Entertainment.
* Ivan Bruel's shirt has a picture of two crossing bones that's similar to the design that's seen on Zak Storm's shoes.
* As seen on Adrien's schedule, there's an illustration of a blushing sea turtle that resembles Ella from *Sammy & Co* under the April 19 to April 27 "vacation" slot.
* As seen in the Fox Miraculous page from the Miraculous spellbook from *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*, one of the codes written in Nyctographic reads "Zazsqrx". But when rotate by 9 places, it reads "Ijibzag" (in ROT9) "Jib", "Zag", "Ijib" change into "Eajib" meaning "Wonderous" (in English) and "Iji" meaning "Maintain" (in English).
* In the English version of the *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir* episode "Timetagger", when Bunnyx returns to the present time after she got send to the Cretaceous period by the titular character, she yelled, "Down, Denver, down!" to a green dinosaur. This is a nod to the 2018 CGI reboot of *Denver the Last Dinosaur* that ZAG produced.
* If you look closely at the poster for the in-universe movie *Les aventures de Ladybug & Chat Noir* from *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*, it's said that the "filming location" is in Los Angeles, California. The city is where the American division of ZAG Entertainment located in real life.
