Toy Story Fun Facts

Here are the fun things we found out, either from ourselves or with a little research!


Did you catch who the garbage man was? Black skull shirt:





It was Sid!!


The "Toy" (Toyota) truck made an appearance as usual! I think that is what always reminds me they do this sort of thing! It has been in every movie since the original Toy Story!


Andy's Room

In Andy's grown up room, there are over 300 stickers on his wall. I counted. Kidding, I found that on the web. And a bunch of them are from Pixar movies past and even future.

There is a post card on Andy's bulletin board addressed to Carl and Ellie Fredricksen from the movie Up. The bulletin board also has other stuff on it, like references to Pizza Planet.

Andy's calendar used to have the Bug's Life picture on it, it is now a car from Cars:




This is also a Cars character, but from the upcoming sequel:




Pixar

Above Andy's door there is a sign from W. Cutting, which is where Pixar originally was headquartered and the map in Andy's room has pins in all the home towns of the production staff of the movie.

There is a PU (Pixar University) penant on Andy's Wall.

A lot of Pixar movies have a reference to A113 in them, the animation classroom number from CalArts where many of the head Pixar people attended, and it is Andy's mom's license plate number in this movie.

The number 95, the year the first Toy Story was released, shows up a lot in Pixar films. It is on the train in the opening sequence and is Lightning McQueens number in Cars to name a couple.

Toys

There are a TON of toys at the Daycare that are significant. The stingray from Nemo is on the shelf, Wall E is being played with, there is a lightning McQueen toy and a kid wearing a Lightning McQueen shirt.

The tractor from Cars as well as the Fire Truck.

The batteries in Buzz were from Buy N Large. Do you remember that name from Wall E? And the other batteries you see in the film are Re-Volting, which was a sponsor of the number 84 race car in Cars.

A lot of the mean toys look strikingly familiar...pieces of them were in the toys in Sid's room in the original Toy Story.

Bonnie has a Wall-E patch on her backpack.

Flick is one of the toys that hides right before the kids burst into the room for the first time in the daycare.

Future Movies

Pixar likes to hide characters from their future movies in their current releases. You never know who they are until after the next movie is released.


Boo’s fish toy in Monsters Inc ended up being the title character of Finding Nemo. A kid in the doctor’s office in Finding Nemo was reading a comic book of The Incredibles. WALL-E appeared in 2D on the Ratatouille DVD short film, Your Friend the Rat. And Up’s Dug the dog appeared in silhouette in Brad Bird’s Ratatouille chasing Remy through the walls of a building.
Lotso was in UP! In the scene where the balloons go past the window of the little girls room, he is under her bed!


And in this movie? There is speculation that this little girl from the daycare might be a grown up Boo:




Since there is a Monsters Inc 2 being released. She is even holding a Kitty and says Boo! to her toys while she is playing.
