Toy Story - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
The ball from Pixar's 1986 short film "Luxo Jr." appears in Andy's room.
This is a nod to one of Pixar's earliest and most iconic animated shorts. The Luxo Ball has since become a recurring Easter egg in many Pixar films, representing the studio's heritage.
Several books on the shelf behind Woody have titles that are the names of Pixar short films, such as "The Adventures of André and Wally B." and "Tin Toy."
This is another tribute to Pixar's early work and the creative minds behind the studio. "Tin Toy" in particular was a direct inspiration for "Toy Story."
The carpet in Sid's house has the same hexagonal pattern as the carpet in the Overlook Hotel from the horror film "The Shining."
This is a subtle and somewhat dark homage to Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film, adding to the unsettling atmosphere of Sid's house.
A bin in Andy's room has a sticker for "Binford Tools," the fictional company that sponsored Tim Allen's character's show in the sitcom "Home Improvement."
This is an inside joke referencing the career of Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, who was starring in the popular sitcom at the time the film was made.
