Alright folks, get those peepers checked because there are some teeny tiny details that you probably didn’t notice in these popular animated movies.
We’re here to point them out to you!
RELATED STORIES
Buzz’s Batteries
Well, it looks like Buy ‘N’ Large really is the Wal-Mart of the Pixar universe.
Not only do they make batteries for toys, but they make advanced robots that clean up a very polluted earth as well!
Zazu’s Prediction
Woah! Looks like this morbid prediction became a morbid reality!
And I hate to say it but… Zazu was kind of right! Scar does make a pretty handsome throw rug!
Stay Away From That Mime In ‘Ratatouille’
He’s not just any mime, folks. He’s “Bomb Voyage” from The Incredibles , and he might have more up his sleeve than an invisible rope.
Maybe some invisible explosives or something.
A Familiar Shadow
We all know that loveable shadow barking at Remi from Ratatouille ! It’s Dug, the hilarious and adorable dog from Up !
Don’t worry Remi, you don’t have to be scared, Dug wouldn’t hurt a fly!
Nemo in ‘Monster’s Inc.’
This one is pretty obvious, so if you noticed this don’t be snarky about it in the comments.
However, Boo actually has a Nemo doll that she shows her big furry friend Sully.
Crush’s Attitude
Ever wonder why Crush seems…er…so intoxicated?
It’s because tortoises eat jellyfish, and when the jellyfish’s toxin gets released into the tortoise’s system it produces a feeling like that of humans and marijuana.
Wall-E takes care of Rex
It’s good to know that after the apocalypse, Rex is being taken care of by the world’s most adorable robot.
Still, he must be sad without all of his friends…
Where’s The Detail?
Don’t tell me I never stimulate your mind during these things.
Do you know where the detail in this scene is? Take some time, look around, really canvas the frame…
There it is!
There was a tiny little Nemo sticker at the corner of the Toy Box in Andy’s room.
There you go, a bit of intellectual sharpening for today. You’re welcome.
Sid’s Carpet
Horror movie fans are going to love this one: The carpet in the evil, sadistic Sid’s house is the same one in the Overlook hotel.
Which, as you already know, is the hotel from The Shining .
Doc Hudson in ‘The Incredibles’
This Cars character makes an appearance in The Incredibles .
So this must have happened before Cars took place.
Ever wonder how Elastigirl knew the plane wreckage was about to fall on them?
Well, discounting the fact that they had just jumped out of an exploding plane, so it was probably bound to land on top of them, check her eye line.
She saw the reflection in the water.
Postcards
Andy has led a pretty interesting life, apparently. He has trophies, he’s entered both art competitions and has been on a sports team, and he knows the people from Up !
That would be the only explanation as to why he has one of the postcards from the movie.
It’s a little hard to see, so here’s the postcard a little closer up.
It seems that Andy from Toy Story has some sort of relationship Carl and Ellie from Up .
Ooh… I hope no one told him what happens at the beginning of that movie…
Three words: Pizza Planet Truck
What kid didn’t want to go to Pizza Planet? And it was all because of that darned first movie, a fact they’ve been reminding us about for several movies since.
This truck appears in a bunch of Pixar movies, from Cars to A Bug’s Life .
A113
It’s Andy’s mom’s license plate, it’s on a cereal box in Bug’s Life , it’s one of the most prolific details in any Pixar movie.
It’s a reference to the CalArts first-year graphic design and character animation classroom where a lot of the Pixar animators studied.
Pumbaa Is A Gargoyle
In The Hunchback Of Notre Dame , when Quasimodo is hanging off of Notre Dame itself, we see a very familiar-looking gargoyle.
Is… is that you, Pumbaa? What are you doing in France?
Lady And The Tramp Are Helping The Dalmatians
If you’ve already got a bunch of dogs in your animated universe, you may as well use them for your dog movie!
This is probably the thinking behind putting Lady and The Tramp in 101 Dalmatians .
I Know That Lamp…
In a very adorable moment, Wall-E builds a statue of Eve with a bunch of garbage. But wait a minute… Eve’s right arm… Doesn’t that look familiar?
It’s the lamp from the Pixar logo!
Rapunzel Goes To The Coronation
We’ve all seen this one before. Rapunzel and her boyfriend/husband/lover Flynn attending the coronation of Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
We still want to know about their relationship with each other. Are they cousins? Is it just a diplomatic mission?
Mickey Loves Powerline
While it’s not his only appearance in the movie, Mickey does apparently love Powerline: He is at his concert after all.
I wonder how he felt about seeing his pal Goofy onstage…
The Cars World Reflects Our Own
Or, well, at least the world that Pixar has set up for itself.
This is a scene from France in the Cars world. Notice the restaurant? It was the same restaurant from Ratatouille , except now it has a car pun.
Rapunzel Better Watch Out!
Not just for Mother Gothel and her goons, she doesn’t even have to leave the tower to be in danger!
If you prick your finger on that spinning wheel Rapunzel, things definitely won’t go well for you.
Someone’s A Fan!
He’s not just adorable when he’s alive! Even as a toy, Dumbo can still make our hearts melt.
That’s probably why someone in The Great Mouse Detective has him as a bubble blower.
What Is This, A Crossover Episode?
All the toys seem to be in order here…Woody, Doll Thing, British Hedgehog, Nervous Triceratops, and Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro .
We love a great crossover story, don’t we? Pixar and Disney invented that.
Lilo and Nani: Huge Mulan Fans
Look at the poster behind her bed, you recognize that movie?
What if I told you she was “not just a girl worth fighting for, but one who can do it herself?”
It’s Mulan!
Tinkerbell Makin’ Cameos
If you look in between the boy and the girl (I don’t expect you to know the names of the characters from The Black Cauldron ) then you’ll see her, floating there.
Pixar Stories
Look past Woody’s uncanny valleyish face for a moment at the books behind him.
They’re titled: The Adventures of Andre and Wally B. , Reds Dream , Luxo, Jr. , Tin Toy , and Knick Knack …
The names of Pixar’s short movies.
The Tire Brand
Notice anything significant about Lightning McQueen’s tire brand?
Oh yes, it bears the name of a certain space ranger… one that might like to go to infinity… or perhaps even beyond.
Familiar Wall Paper
When that mean ol’ Randall is practicing his camouflage, we see him practice on a very familiar wallpaper.
Watch out, Andy! He’s coming to scare you! Woody, Buzz, get the toys ready!
Who’s That? Blink and you’ll miss him!
Quick, look! Before he gets away! Take a long look at that branch in front of Buzz, you see that little caterpillar? Does he look familiar?
It’s the one from A Bug’s Life !
Get Out Of There!
So not only is the supervillain Bomb Voyage from The Incredibles , in the background of Ratatouille but in the back is Notre-Dame.
Sure, the movie takes place in Paris, but is it too much to believe that the Hunchback of Notre-Dame is up there?
