I think it’s more just Pixar creatively reusing some old models more than any sort of implication, because as near as I can tell, it’s exactly the same house, right down the colors of the bricks and such.
There’s still some tiny imperfections, so I still think it’s a reference rather than a shortcut. Colors match, but Toy Story 3 uses more vibrant shades, and there’s a misplaced brick here and there.
I wouldn’t really trust that. [spoil]It’s kind of mind-boggling how an actual item from Monsters Inc. is seen, yet there are toys of the characters. I’d assume the one about Boo and Mike toys is false, and if the door one is right, that means Boo’s Jessie definately isn’t the same, and helps further establish the Pixar timeline as well.[/spoil]
Check the background, towards the right. Isn’t that the fish tank from Finding Nemo? If not, it looks similar.
Also, look at the second shelf in the left (you can spot it better if you have the image in 1080p.). The blue basket contains a lot of shapes, like stars. The yellow one is actually a Woody profile!
I didn’t say anything about the bucket because it was discussed a lot on another threads since that scene became available. Actually, there are some hopeful fans who believe that’s the bucket with the rest of Andy’s soldiers.
One of the stickynotes on the computer in Bonny’s house says Nov 2, walk for the kids or something, November 2 being the home video release. Do you think it’s on purpose?
