Toy Story 3 Pixar References

[WadeyWilson42]

I went to look back at the [spoil]Carl & Ellie postcard[/spoil], but I seem to be the only one that noticed this!

Above it, there’s some sort of certificate that ends with “lorer”, my guess is that it says “Senior Wilderness Explorer”. Could Andy have become friends with Carl after Up? You never know, Up could be set in the recent past, so after Up Andy joins the Widerness Explorers and they become friends.

This thread hasn’t been busy for a while. Just thought I’d add this little easter egg that I just noticed in the new trailer centering around interviews with Michael Keaton, Lee Unkrich, etc. There’s an elephant in the background of the daycare in some of the scenes from Toy Story 3, and it appears to be the same elephant from Tin Toy! I have images, but I can’t figure out how to attach them correctly.

I’m surprised that I’m the first to notice, but Andy has a street sign for West Cutting Boulevard in his room.

Interesting thing I’ve thought about regarding all the references to Cars: In Toy Story 2 there were a lot of references to A Bug’s Life, not just cause it was the only other film at the time but because they were both directed by John Lasseter, so now it seems like most of the references that can be found in Toy Story 3 are of his last film before that which was Cars (and even though Lee Unkrich is directing now it’s probably still a nod to John directing the original).

It’s because Cars 2 is Pixar’s next movie.

That too, but it could be both.

Now I see it! You should post that in the Pixar In-jokes list.

EDIT- Please don’t quote images, especially if they’re directly in the post above yours, thanks!

Toy Story 3 fact sheet, giving some more insight into the easter eggs:

-Director Lee Unkrich edited the first two “Toy Story” films, and co-directed “Toy Story 2.” He also served as a film editor on “Toy Story 3.”
-“Toy Story 3” Producer Darla K. Anderson is the namesake for the character Darla in “Finding Nemo.”
-Director Lee Unkrich performs one line in the movie, as the voice of the Jack in the Box character who says “New Toys!” when Woody, Buzz and the gang first arrive at Sunnyside.
-On January 15, 2010, the final day for many of the 58-person animation crew, director Lee Unkrich led a mini-marching band through the studio composed of two snare drummers, two bass drummers, two giant monkeys and a Yeti.
-17 animators on “Toy Story 3” also worked on animation for “Toy Story 2.” Four animators worked on the animation for all three “Toy Story” films.
-92,854 storyboards were drawn over the course of the film, and of those, about half (45,516) were delivered to the editorial department. Editorial turned those storyboards into eight different “Milestone Screenings” that were shown to the Pixar Brain Trust while the film was in development.
-There are 302 total characters in the film.
-There are more than 300 stickers in Andy’s room.
-The pins on the map in Andy’s room correspond to the hometowns of “Toy Story 3” production staff.
-A few pieces of art hanging on the walls in Andy’s room were actually created by “Toy Story 3” art coordinator Erin Magill when she was in high school.
-Andy has a banner hanging on one of the walls in his room that reads “P.U.” P.U. stands for Pixar University, a professional-development program for Pixar employees.
-Above Andy’s closet is a street sign for W. Cutting Blvd., the street on which Pixar’s original headquarters were based.
-Hidden in Andy’s bedroom is a hint at a new character in next year’s “Cars 2.”
-The number A113, which refers to John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton’s former classroom at CalArts, makes an appearance in every Pixar film. Despite the years that have passed, Andy’s mom hasn’t changed her license plate, which still reads A113. In “Toy Story 3,” however, Andy’s mom has a new license plate frame that reads “Tiger Pride,” which is a reference to director Lee Unkrich’s hometown of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and his high school mascot, the Tiger.
-The Pizza Planet Truck, which first made an appearance in the original “Toy Story,” has made a cameo in nearly every Pixar film. It also appears in “Toy Story 3,” [spoil]providing a bumpy ride to some traveling toys.[/spoil]
-Sid, the mean kid who liked to destroy his toys in “Toy Story,” [spoil]is all grown up as well, and he makes a cameo in “Toy Story 3,” wearing his signature skull t-shirt. Sid’s cameo is voiced by 27-year-old Erik Von Detten, who at the age of 13 was the original voice of Sid in “Toy Story.”[/spoil]

Very cool that they got [spoil]the original actor of Sid to return.[/spoil]

[Kyle]

Interesting that they used the same recordings for Molly in the home video footage. makes me wonder if they did the same for Andy. I mean, he sounds identical to the young Andy we used to know, but are these unused recordings from the original movies? or did they hire a sound alike?

[Pixar_Builder]

I’m also really glad that the [spoil]Pizza Planet Truck[/spoil] seems to be back in Toy Story 3 as well, and with a larger role than just a simple cameo. Can’t wait to see what Deus Ex Machina it serves in this film.

[Bryko614]

Kyle: They hired a new kid, Charlie Bright, to play young Andy.

[MIKE_WAZOWSK-E]

It comes out today! I may try to spot spotted cameos in the film.

[TylerHaslett]

[spoil]The toys hitch a ride on the pizza planet truck. Yes, again. Didnt expect pixar to reuse it like that.[/spoil]

EDIT- Please use spoiler tags when revealing what happens in a film that hasn’t yet been released worldwide.

[Dinoco]

Yeah, they definately score a point for being creative there (it would have been hard to use it in any scenario).

[spoil]Had the toys known it, there would be a “thank you Sid!” moment all over again at the end. Does Erik von Detten still voice him, by the way?[/spoil]

Finn! Good find.

Also, i was listening to Lee Unkrich on some podcast yesterday and he said a 6 Million Dollar Man lunchbox appears in the movie. [spoil]Buzz grabs onto it when the metal flies towards the ceiling at the dump.[/spoil] If you don’t know, that was one of Lee’s favorite toys as a kid.

Awesome easter egg! And the toy version from the show was used for inspiration on Buzz as well.

[Small_Mailman]

They missed one! Bonnie has a Wally B. sticker right on her backpack! That one took me a while to confirm, you never really see a clear shot of it in the film.
