Here are some Easter eggs from the 1980's with no mention of Easter on the packaging. My personal favourite was the Lion Bar one. Can we all move on from this now please?

A teaser trailer for upcoming Pixar film Monsters, Inc. drops on the Internet.
Film studios do not typically release trailers on-line, so this might be the beginning of a greater trend.
