Toy Story, Monsters, Inc. and more, check out these Pixar Easter eggs
The makers of some of children's most loved films have been keeping secrets from us for years, have a look at the ones we can't believe we missed
PIXAR movies have been gracing our screens since the release of Toy Story in 1995.
Over the years, the animation studio have produced some of the most highly regarded animated films of all time.
Amongst the kudos, however, Pixar is also known for a number of in-jokes.
We have rounded up some of Pixar's best Easter eggs for you to kick yourselves over not noticing.
You are welcome...
Toy Story's Andy knows Up's Carl and Ellie
In Toy Story 3, one scene shows Woody climbing up onto Andy's desk.
Nestled in amongst all of the memos on his pin board, however, is a rather unnoticeable post card.
On closer inspection, it appears that the card has been sent by a Carl and Ellie Fredricksen, the subjects of the 2009 film Up.
Maybe Andy is still clutching at memories of Ellie since her death.
Weep.
Rapunzel and Flynn cameo in Frozen
This is one of our personal favourites.
As Anna sings "For the First Time in Forever" some fans picked up a couple of familiar faces.
Although only on the screen for a split second, it was noticed that Rapunzel and Flynn from previous Pixar film, Frozen, appear to feature.
Rumour has it that Tangled co-director, Nathan Greno, came out to say he didn't know Pixar planned to incorporate the pair but he had received confirmation it was intentional and they're not just look-a-likes.
Boo gives Sully a Nemo toy
OK, how didn't we spot this one?!
In one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in Pixar history, and trust us there have been many, Sully has to say goodbye to his new best friend Boo.
It seems that we were too busy crying to spot that the toys that Boo hands Sully are all Pixar classics.
You might spot Jessie from Toy Story now that we've mentioned it.
The most obvious?
The orange clown fish, Nemo.
A113
For years, people wondered what Pixar's obsession was with the code A113.
It has featured in almost every Pixar film.
a possible reason behind the obsession with the code.
It seems that the code is the name of a famous graphics and animation classroom at California Institute of Arts.
It is suggested that many animators that studied at the school like to feature the code as a subtle nod of respect to each other.
N'aww.

The Pizza Planet truck
First appearing in Toy Story, the Pizza Planet truck has appeared in every Pixar film since (except for The Incredibles).
It makes appearances in different scenarios across all of the films, some of which are almost unnoticeable.
Despite not featuring in The Incredibles, Pixar did manage to get it in the film's computer game.
A Bug's Life storybook in Toy Story 2
Only really noticeable if you knew it was coming, Mrs Potato Head is seen reading a story book to the Toddle Tots in Toy Story 2.
On closer inspection you might feel it looks a little familiar.
That's right, the potato toy is reading A Bug's Life.
With only a year in between the two films, we feel like we should have spotted this sooner.
Hidden City café in Monsters, Inc.
Legend has it that Pixar executives once masterminded several of Pixar's most popular films in a café close by to their studios named Hidden City.
In a teaser trailer for Wall-E, director Andrew Stanton discusses how in one meeting at Hidden City, ideas were thrown around for A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo as well as for Wall-E the robot.
As a gentle tribute to this cafe and all that it stood for at Pixar, they recreate it in Monstropolis, the setting for Monsters, Inc.
Pretty cool, huh?
