The first comparison is from the movie Sydney White with Amanda Bynes, which is a direct comparison to the 1937 Disney movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The second comparison is from the show The Simpsons, which depicts Mr. Burns and Smithers performing an experiment on Santa's Little Helper. This is a direct comparison to the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange. The last comparison is from the movie Lilo and Stitch in which Lilo is talking to her sister Nani and behind Nani, you can see a movie poster for the Disney movie Mulan, which is a subtle Easter Egg. Intertextuality is when one text makes a reference or comparison to another text either directly or indirectly. The three types of intertextuality are indirect (optional), direct (obligatory), and accidental. Indirect (optional) intertextuality is when filmmakers are inspired by other works made before. The audience can understand what inspired the filmmaker, but it is not important to the interpretation of the story. Direct (obligatory) intertextuality is when the filmmakers make comparisons or reference other texts on purpose, like Easter Eggs or "fan service." Accidental intertextuality is when the author did not intend to make a comparison between text, but relies on the audience to make those connections.
