Are you taking trailer in-jokes?
Because Flik-E pointed out that [spoil]Buzz’s batteries (as Rex “resets” him) are “BnL Alkaline.”[/spoil]
Unfortunately, I can’t get a screenshot.
This probably has been said before but Buzz’s Batteries in Toy Story 3 are the sole property of the Buy n Large Corporation.
Some of the other members here already mentioned the trash cubes that appeared in Monsters Inc. and their similarities to the ones in Wall-E, so I figured I’d make a comparison while I was ripping movies:
I do know that Pete Docter was originally working on Wall-E with Andrew Stanton and that the film was once going to be called Trash Planet so maybe the idea of Wall-E being a trash compactor was already there (I also think they may have changed the title cause of Disney’s Treasure Planet).
XD That’s so cool to see his birthdate as an Easter Egg in Up! I always liked Lou Romano. 
He did an excellent doing artworks of The Incredibles and Up at Pixar as well as voicing Linguini in Ratatouille.
Thanks,

Hey guys, I’ve been looking at this screenshot of Muntz’s map regarding Kevin the bird.
[url]http://i48.tinypic.com/fn61zq.jpg[/url]
and on the upper left corner, i noticed that there is a card that records Muntz’s 198th sighting of Kevin. The date for that is 08 16 66. Underneath the date, it says “saw the beast yet again unable to contain”
Now, August 16 is the day in which Joe Ranft died. The 66 is maybe a reference to Route 66, a major subject in Cars, which was of course Ranft’s last movie. I also thought that maybe the “beast” is a metaphor for how hard it has been to withstand the loss of Ranft’s life.
There is another record of a sighting, which is 62. The date for this one is 11 20 38. I can’t think of anything, except that Toy Story 2 was released on November 19. Also, 62 and 38 add up perfectly to 100, so that might be something. Or maybe it’s just an over-speculation.
What do you guys think?
I noticed something while reading the Art of Up.
You know, in the Adventure Book, there’s a little newspaper snippet of Muntz. Next to it, in tiny text, is about Gusteau’s.
I thought that was cool.
EDIT; Whoops, I didn’t see that this was posted already. Sorry guys. D:
Dillinger- Cool.
EDIT- There’s no need to quote the post directly above yours, especially if it has large images. Thanks!

Ok, so just a bit of an update (you can find the list on the first post of this thread). I’ve only added the rest of the Up in-jokes, but I’ll try to add the other in-jokes another time. A BIG thanks to ffdude1906 for researching and capping the pictures. Thanks buddy! =)
The first Pizza Planet truck - does anyone know whereabouts in the movie that’s from?
Sure do Rachel, it’s just after the liftoff sequence. The house is drifting over that intersection in that cameo just seconds after the house takes off. Hope that clears it up
Also, I know a few of the Pixarian voices. First and foremost is Bob Peterson, who did the voices for both Dug and Alpha. Pete Docter did the voice for Campmaster Strauch at the badge ceremony. Jerome Ranft did the voice for Gamma, and I’m not sure where, but some of the miscellaneous voices included a few Pixarians, I remember Jeff Pidgeon was in that list. I’ll post a full one soon.
Was reading the paper today and came across an article all about some interesting in-jokes and facts about Up. I know most people on here will already be aware of the majority of these, but I thought I’d type them all up anyway as there’s a few in there that I didn’t know about. So, here’s the article:
From Dug the Dog to Pizza Planet, have you picked up on Pixar’s in-jokes?
Pixar’s latest movie, Up, which is about to come out on DVD, is ‘Up’ for five Oscars and has madea staggering $750 million at the box office since its cinema release. To celebrate, the film-makers here reveal 15 clever clues and in-jokes to look out for…
-
In every Pixar film, spot the Pizza Planet Truck. In Up, you can see it when Carl’s house flies above his neighbourhood. Though originally a fictional restaurant, since its appearance in the Pixar movies there are now Pizza Planets at Disneyland Paris and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
-
John Ratzenberger, best known as Cliff in Cheers, has a cameo as the voice of Tom, a construction worker who asks main character Carl (voiced by Ed Asner) if he’s ready to sell his home. Raztenberger is the only actor to voice a role in all Pixar’s ten films- from Hamm the piggy bank in Toy Story to P.T. Flea in A Bug’s Life.
-
A113- the classroom number at the California college which Up co-director Pete Docter attended crops up in every Pixar film. In Up it’s the courtoom number, where Carl makes an appearance.
-
Dug the Dog made his debut in the 2007 film Ratatouille- as a shadow on a wall that barks at Remy, the film’s star rat.
-
The Luxo Ball- a yellow ball with a blue stripe and a red star- also crops up in several Pixar films and can be seen on the floor of the little girl’s bedroom as Carl’s house flies past her window.
-
The Buy n Large logo- from the 2008 hit WALL-E- features on the construction site equipment surrounding Carl’s house.
-
In the scene where Carl meets his hero, explorer Charles Muntz, he is served a scallop dish for dinner which is the same one served up in Ratatouille.
-
Cark is the most complex human character ever created by Pixar. His design is symbolically and literally square.
-
Russell, a boy scout trying to earn his last merit badge, has more layers of clothing than any other Pixar character- a shirt, a sash covered with badges, a neckerchief and a backpack.
-
Bob Peterson, the film’s co-director and the voice of Dug the Dog, says of all the voices he has provided for Pixar movies, Dug is the most fun. ‘Dug is a labrador because they’re extremely cuddly and friendly.’
-
Technical director Steve May and his team created a canopy of 10,297 balloons to float Carl’s house.
-
Pixar brought a live ostrich to the studio to help inspire the legs of Kevin the bird. Kevin was also based on a cassowary for feathers, a pheasant for iridescence, a heron for behaviour and a toucan, quail and peacock for beak and wattles.
-
Paradise Falls is based on the famous Angel Falls in Venezuela. Up’s version is 1.8 miles high- almost three times higher than the real Angel Falls.
-
Muntz’s jacket is made of fur, the first time in Pixar history that a piece of clothing is made from an animal. They insist no CG animals were harmed!
-
Watch Up closely and you’ll see a pink teddy bear on the floor of the girl’s bedroom when Carl’s house goes floating by. The bear’s name is Lotso and it is said to be one of the new characters in Pixar’s Toy Story 3, due out this summer.
This is a shot of said PP-truck from the Blu-ray, albeit taken with a lousy compact camera:
Haha, Bryko agreed with me a while back, but thanks totoro! I KNEW IT! Totally caught it on my 16th theatrical viewing.
I saw the Luxo Ball as one of Russell’s badges when I looked at my wall poster this morning.
I don’t know if this has already been mentioned.

I will definantly be contributing to this list when Toy Story 3 comes out.
openteng - Wow. Good eye there, openteng!

Hm… I’m gonna watch the Toy Story 3 trailer again and see if I can find anything that hasn’t been posted already.
Edit: Found these refrences to Cars: “ReVolting” batteries are seen on a table where some of the toys are playing cards. (ReVolting was the sponsor for Car #84.) and A tractor toy similar to the “cows” rolls past Buzz.
I’ll let you guys know If I find anymore.
Buzz&Woodyforever - Those are some neat references. Do you happen to have a screenshot of both?
