The Pizza Planet Truck

I’m sure I’m not the only

one who loves this little vehicle. Let’s see if my predictions are correct… :wink:

[b]Where to

Find that Elusive Truck[/b]:

[b][i]Toy

Story[/i][/b] - Woody and Buzz are transported to Pizza Planet by way of the Pizza Planet

truck.
A Bug’s Life - The “city” where

Flick travels on his search for warrior bugs is situated next to a trailer. Next to the trailer is the Pizza

Planet truck.
Toy Story 2 - The toys chase after Al,

who is on his way to the airport, via an unattended Pizza Planet truck.
[b][i]Monsters

Inc.[/i][/b] - Near the end of the film, Randall is evicted from the Monster World when he

is flung through a closet door – by Mike and Sulley – and into the same trailer that we see in [i]A

Bug’s Life[/i]. And next to this trailer is, of course, the Pizza Planet

truck.
Finding Nemo - At the very end of the movie,

when Philip Sherman discovers that the tank gang has escaped, the camera pans down and out of the window to the

busy street that Gill and his troop dared to cross. It is difficult to spot, but the Pizza Planet truck can be

found zooming across this street, if one looks carefully enough.
[b][i]The

Incredibles[/i][/b] - As of today, I have not yet spotted this elusive truck in Pixar’s

hit film, The Incredibles. It is rumored to have been seen speeding along a high-way

at the end of the film.
Cars - The Pizza Planet

truck comes to life in Pixar’s newest film, Cars, and can be seen twice during the

movie: At the beginning race (in one of the VIP boxes, I believe), and during the second race near the end of the

film (in the backround near Bob and Darrell).

Ratatouille - Yet to be confirmed/reported.

If anyone has any information regarding the sighting of the truck in [i]The

Incredibles[/i], please let me know. In the mean-time, feel free to discuss topics of thought and

opinions concerning the Pizza Planet truck in this thread.

[b]To make things easier, I will

refer to the Pizza Planet truck as “Rocket”, which is the name that my sister gave it.[/b]

been discussed previously. I wouldn’t mind one bit. :wink:

Well, the Pizza Planet truck in the Incredibles is very debateable. I believe there is one,

and it is very faint in the highway scene. But it is still debateable.

No, you

are not indeed the only Pizza Planet truck fan. :slight_smile: To tell the truth, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to 100%

forgive Brad Bird for not putting it in TI; 99.9999%, maybe, but not 100%. Personally, I’m hoping like heck

that Mattel will have a Pizza Planet truck die-cast in their Cars line-up, although the chances of that happening

are pretty dang small. :unamused: It’d definitely make my day, though, even more than the Hamm car. And when I get

my own car, I am so making a bumper sticker that says "My Other Car Is A

Gyoza" on it. :smiley: Wonder how many people on the highway would get that?

I

see a car in the Incredibles that is the same colour of yellow as the truck, but cannot confirm or deny if it’s

it. On the plus side, it definately appears in the Video Game, when Dash is running up a busy street.

I

too want it in the Cars line.

#5

I have a

love/hate relationship with the Pizza Planet truck. I do love how it’s been in every Pixar film (though as said

previously, with The Incredibles, we’re not one hundred percent sure) and so it’s therefore become a real

legacy, just like Raztenburger.

#6

I wouldn’t call it a legacy. maybe a tradition that is

put in every Pixar film. And maybe the Pizza Planet truck is another one of the many good luck charms Pixar

has.

[b]The

Pizza Planet truck can also be seen in the “Life of a Highway” scene sleeping at a Dinoco gas

station.[/b]
