Pizza Planet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pizza Planet is a fictional pizza restaurant in the Pixar motion picture, Toy Story. It is a large restaurant with arcade games and is similar to Chuck E. Cheese's, but with an outer space and sci-fi theme. It is the place where Buzz Lightyear first encounters the three-eyed Little Green Men characters inside a game of skill.

Pizza Planet is also refrenced breifly in the series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It is unknown if this is simply a pizza franchise or also an actual planet within this series.

[edit] Real Resturaunts

Restaurants at Walt Disney World's MGM Studios and Disneyland Paris are named after the site in the film and are designed to resemble it as much as possible.

Pizza Planet is also a standard everyday pizza restaurant located in the Texas Panhandle area, and a pizza restaurant in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, UK and Cam, Gloucestershire, UK as well as a pizza delivery and takeaway in Kingsbridge, Devon, UK.

[edit] Pizza Planet delivery truck

The Pizza Planet delivery truck has appeared in each of the other Pixar features - A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles (possibly), and Cars.

The truck is notable for only showing the letters "YO" - a popular degradation of '80s model Toyota compact pickup trucks. The truck itself looks like a 1979 Toyota Pickup. Pixar branded the truck a "Gyoza" (which is actually a Japanese style Chinese dumpling) in order not to involve legal obligations by including Toyota's brand name. ^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] Film appearances

Toy Story: Buzz and Woody get to Pizza Planet in this truck.
A Bug's Life: At the caravan where the "Bug City" is located, as the two bugs are talking about seeing the light, the truck can be seen parked next to the caravan. Also, one of the mosquitos fell down into a Pizza Planet cup after getting zapped by light.
Toy Story 2: The toys steal and drive the truck to the airport.
Monsters Inc.: At the end of the movie, Randall is thrown through a door and ends up in a caravan, where he is mistaken for a gator. The caravan is identical to the caravan in A Bug's Life and, like before, the Pizza Planet truck can be seen parked next to it.
Finding Nemo: While the escape plan is being shown, as the bags of water cross the road, the truck drives past.
The Incredibles: It is unconfirmed and contested that The Pizza Planet truck can be seen on the freeway towards the end of the film, in the top left when Bob says "I take Seventh, don't I?". However, the Truck definitely appears in one of the levels of The Incredibles Video Game, during which Dash is running up a busy street filled with traffic.
Cars: In the Life is a Highway Scene. Also seen close to the end of the film, before the last race, the Pizza Planet truck, anthromorphised, can be seen next to the Elvis RV on the raised platform to the left of and behind Bob Cutlass and Darrel Cartrip.
