That is really neat, Axiom. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled next time I watch it.
In my sticker book it also says that there are the flamingos from Knick Knack somewhere on Earth. Anyone spotted them yet?
If anyone has any spare time and could get some screen caps of any Pixar in-jokes in WALL•E, that would be great. As of yet I don’t have any screencaps, and I also don’t own the DVD… it would be a great help so that when I do get the DVD, it won’t be such a massive task to go through the movie finding every single one to add to The Definitive Pixar In-jokes List. Thanks in advance to anyone who does provide some screen caps. =)
Can anyone recognise any Pixarian names in this screenshot? (Click to enlarge)
Plus, the voice that says “A service bot will be with you momentarily” when we first see John after he falls over, that sounds to me like Teddy Newton. Does anyone else think so?
After watching Toy Story 3 for the first time, I decided to rewatch Wall-E. I was surprised to find Lotso hidden in Wall-E’s trailer among other peices of trash! You can never see it clearly, because every time it is on-screen it is out of focus, but it is obviously a pink teddy bear. The most obvious spot is when Eve is first introduced to Wall-E’s trailer, and investigates his knick knacks. When Wall-E hands her the Rubick’s Cube he goes to get Hello, Dolly! and returns to find the cube completed. If you pause at the exact moment when Wall-E goes to the iPod for the movie, you can see Lotso in the background resting on some peices of junk. If this really is Lotso Huggin’ Bear, then this would mean he had a cameo in a Pixar film before Up! However, even if it isn’t the same Lotso from Toy Story 3, it is obviously a pink teddy bear of sorts.
I don’t have a picture of it, but you can see it in this video at about 2:56. He is very blurry, but you can make him out in the bottom left corner.

My first reaction was pink hippo, but I can see how that could be Lotso!
As for the Pink Flamingos, I remember seeing them in the far upper right hand corner as Wall-e enters his trailer for the first or second time.
There won’t be any Wall-E Easter eggs in John Carter of Mars, so says Andrew Stanton a few days ago:
fandango.com/movie-trailer/j … 2191803439
You have to skip to the relevant trailer to bypass all the other JCofM ads. With all the Mars rovers, such as Curiosity, it would seem natural for our Wall-E to be seen in the distance tooling around, with a little dust cloud trailing behind.
The thread concerning Wall-E being in other movies was closed, not sure where to look for supposed additional threads on that topic…
Oh, Mr. Stanton looks like he did 8 years ago, same haircut and seems to have lost some weight. Maybe he adopted some of J.L.'s 5:30 a.m. regimen. Probably would have to be in-house. I was in Mill Valley recently and the chain gym I’m a member of has a really dinky outlet in that town. Had to go 10 miles to get to a nice, large one. You really need a wide variety of equipment to select what is right for you to help slim down.
I can understand his decision not to have a cameo because John Carter takes place in the early 20th century and Wall-Es weren’t built until around the late 21st/early 22nd century in their canon. And there are no rovers at this point either.
Would’ve been cool, but wouldn’t have made much sense from a storytelling standpoint.
