Easter Eggs
The Pizza Realm Truck
The classic Pixar Pizza Planet truck is reimagined as the Pizza Realm delivery truck, visible in the background at the troll-manned toll bridge [2.1].

Instead of a visual nod, the famous CalArts room number A113 is heard audibly over Officer Colt Bronco's police radio as 'A-113 in progress'.
Dorothea Williams Record
In Ian's room, a record by the Dorothea Williams Quartet can be seen. This was a sneak peek at Pixar's next film, Soul (2020), where Dorothea is a major character.
Triple Dent Gum
The pixie duster biker gang has a pack of Triple Dent Gum, referencing the catchy commercial jingle from Inside Out.
John Ratzenberger's Cameo
