Reel News: TOY STORY 3 Easter-eggs!

Before rushing out to see TOY STORY 3, the fine folks over at www.slashfilm.com (link below) have compiled an impressive list of easter-eggs (non-spoiler) that are sprinkled throughout the film. Pixar loves to place references to their past and sometimes future works into their films, and this time they have really outdone themselves. My personal favorites include:

-A postcard from Carl and Ellie (UP) is on the wall in Andy’s bedroom.

-The Lotso Bear actually makes a cameo in UP.

-Buzz Lightyear’s batteries are B&L brand (WALL-E)

-Lightning McQueen and Red (CARS) make appearances as toys in the daycare center.

…and many more. You have to admire Pixar’s strong attention to detail, along with the rich and coherent universe they’ve created. These many references tie all of their films together in clever ways. Marvel should take note!
