Toy Story 2 is no exception, paying homage to the previous year’s film, a bug’s life, many times throughout the movie.
The character with the most appearances in Pixar films isn’t really a character at all (well, except in the Cars universe)-It’s the Pizza Planet Truck, which originated in the first Toy Story and makes its third appearance in a Pixar film with Toy Story 2, where it serves as a crucial form of transportation for our merry band of toys.Īnother kind of iconic Easter egg that Pixar prefers to hide in their movies are references to movies from the studio that debuted directly before and after the film you’re currently watching (for example, you can spot Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear from 2010’s Toy Story 3 in 2009’s Up).
Keep your ears open for the buzz of a lightsaber, the blasts from an X-Wing, and even some ominously familiar breathing. Many popular films get visual references and shout-outs in Toy Story 2, but one of the most well-known references is to none other than Star Wars! Not only is the main storyline between Buzz and Emperor Zurg a direct homage to that plot twist from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, but the video game that Rex plays at the beginning of the film, Buzz Lightyear: Attack on Zurg, uses sound effects that sound suspiciously familiar to those you might hear in Star Wars films. Each clip shown on screen is taken from one of Pixar’s early shorts, including Tin Toy, Red’s Dream, and Luxo, Jr. If there’s a record for most Easter eggs displayed in a few seconds, this moment may be a leading contender-when Hamm is flipping through TV channels trying to re-find a commercial for Al’s Toy Barn, he’s not just flipping through your normal TV shows. Next time you have a family movie night (or feel like re-watching the film on Disney+), make sure to keep an eye out for the following: To help ring in the anniversary, we’ve brought seven of our favorites to the roundup. Following the adventures of Woody, who has been stolen from Andy and faces a future inside a toy museum, and Buzz, who will stop at nothing to get Woody back to his home, Toy Story 2 expanded the world built in the original film and proved to us that we’re never too old to play with our toys! Besides introducing us to thrilling new adventures, catchy songs, and a host of new characters (Jessie! Bullseye! Emperor Zurg!… Barbie?), Toy Story 2 followed in the grand tradition of its Pixar predecessors with a veritable treasure trove of hidden details for sharp-eyed fans to spot. We’re celebrating the 20th anniversary of Pixar’s first ever sequel-1999’s Toy Story 2.
