Ratatouille - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The Pizza Planet truck from "Toy Story" can be seen on a bridge over the Seine during the chase scene between Skinner and Remy.
The Pizza Planet truck is a recurring Easter egg that appears in almost every Pixar film, creating a fun, interconnected universe for dedicated fans to discover.
Bomb Voyage, a villain from "The Incredibles" (also directed by Brad Bird), makes a cameo appearance as a mime on a bridge as Linguini and Colette are roller-skating. He also appears on the front page of a newspaper that Colette is reading.
This is a direct nod to director Brad Bird's previous Pixar film, "The Incredibles," and is a fun inside joke for fans of his work.
When Linguini is trying to hide Remy in his pants, his underwear has the logo for "The Incredibles" on them.
Another playful reference to Brad Bird's prior film, this Easter egg is a quick, humorous detail that rewards attentive viewers.
The number A113, a reference to the classroom at the California Institute of the Arts where many Pixar animators studied, appears on a tag on the ear of a large rat named Git.
A113 is another one of Pixar's signature Easter eggs, appearing in every one of their feature films as a tribute to the animators' shared origins.
Doug, the dog from the movie "Up," makes an early appearance as a shadow on a wall when Remy is running through the buildings of Paris.
This is a fun instance of Pixar teasing a character from a future film. "Up" was released two years after "Ratatouille."
