Between 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 minutes into the film (counting from the Buena Vista Films logo
at the start of the film), the character of Ben is sitting the aunt's kitchen, eating
and telling the story about the treasure in the film's title. Over his right shoulder,
which is the left side of the picture for the viewer, are three copper sauce pans
hanging on the wall. The pans have their bottoms facing the viewer, and are hung such
that the large saucepan in the center is lower than the two smaller pans located above
it to the right and the left. The bottoms of the three pans clearly show the
distinctive head and ears of the Hidden Mickey.

This occurs at 1:41 in Disney's 1976
film, "The Treasure of Matecumbe." The scene in question is an overlay
transition between a shot of the swamp and a shot of lightning flashes in
the sky as a hurricane is beginning. The first vid cap
shows the first of four studio-created lightning flashes and is clearly
not a Hidden Mickey. The second vid cap however, does show what
appears to be a three quarter (not straight-on) view of Mikey's head.
