Now that the world is all Up with Up, a grand tradition of Pixar films is abound.
Spot the Easter Eggs. The hidden tributes to other films and personal nods of the producers of the film.
Well in the internet age, these urban legends and word of mouth references are a thing of the past, we now have a mass collective offering up things they saw, and /Film has a pile!
– Standard John Ratzenberger Cameo: Construction Foreman Tom
– A113: a reference to the classroom number that was used by Animation students like Lasseter and other Pixar crew, is found as the Courtroom number.
– Carl’s court summons features the number 94070, the Zip Code where Brad Lewis (Pixar Producer/Director) was once Mayor.
– Buy N Large logo on some of the Construction Workers hats
– The Generic Grape Soda from the Buzz Lightyear commercials is on Carl’s Hat.
– A stylized Pizza Planet truck is seen as the house lifts off and we get a view looking down at the street
– Lotso the Bear (Toy Story 3) is under the girl’s bed as the house and balloons float by, as well the Luxo Ball is on the floor of her room.
– Many Oakland landmarks and oddities make appearances.
My favourite so far is the appearance of a clip that was a popular internet Failblog feature. In the promo clip “Meet Russell” we see Carl watching the shop@home network.
and the original Failblog clip showing the on screen blunder, and you can hear the audio used.
Always a treat to find these moments.
