For those of you who are curious, (Which is probably none of you.) I thought I would inform you about Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov. Why am I telling you about them? I'll explain.

When Bunny tells the Guardians that they should help him with Easter, North says that they can take the sleigh to the Warren. Bunny declines and instead opens up a hole beneath them. North is surprised by this and exclaims, "Shostakovich". A few minutes later when Jack sends a snowflake at Bunny and he starts showing them around, North says "Rimsky-Korsakov, that's a lot of eggs!" North uses these names when he is surprised.

So, who are Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov? Dmitri Shostakovich was a composer and pianist who worked under Joseph Stalin. He was born in 1906 and died in 1975. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was also a Russian composer. He was known for his operas that often focused on fantasy and fairytales. Interesting that North would like his music. So, if you've ever wondered what North was saying in these scenes, now you know. I can't tell you why he said it, but at least you know what he's talking about.
