[edit] removed trivia section

Section blanked by User:Alientraveller, please find citations and restore INTO THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE any trivia that can be cited.

Trivia;

- Trivia|date=June 2007

-

• The Pixar logo with the hopping Luxo Jr. is absent before the film. He is present at the very end of the credits instead.

-

• Sid's outfit is identical to that worn by Chris Cornell in the 1994 Soundgarden video "Black Hole Sun". Both shirts feature logos which resemble the skull logo used by Zero Skateboards. The black tee shirt with white upper skull also resembles the traditional outfit of The Punisher.

-

• The "Hand" in the Box in Sid's room plays the same music that the toy did from Tin Toy (1988), the short movie that inspired Toy Story.

-

• When Woody jumps through the window of the Pizza Planet truck, there is a sticker on it that appears to be Herbie's famous number 53.

-

• The toy shark, wearing Woody's hat, proclaims, "Look, I'm a cowboy! Howdy howdy howdy!" This references a cowboy-eating vulture in one of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" daily comic strips from the early 1980s: "Look, I'm a cowboy! Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!"

-

• The toolbox that Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) pushes off the milk crate bears the name "Binford Tools," the name of the fictional company which sponsors Allen's character's show in Home Improvement (1991).

-

• "Hakuna Matata" from The Lion King can be heard in Andy's mother's car on the way to their new home.

-

• During the staff meeting at the beginning of the movie, some of the books on the shelf behind Woody are named after some of Pixar's short films, such as Tin Toy and Knick Knack.

-

• In the movie's opening scene, Mr. Potato Head says "What are you looking at, you hockey puck?" This is one of Don Rickles's (the voice of Mr. Potato Head) trademark insults.

-

• In Hannah's tea party, her teapot is the Utah Teapot, famous in the computer graphics community.

-

• The moving truck company is called Eggman Movers. Eggman is a nickname of Pixar Art Designer Ralph Eggleston.

-

• The license plates on the cars feature words in place of names of states. For example on Andy's mom's minivan, the plate reads "Minivan" in place of a state and another car's reads "Auto".

-

• There are numerous references to Star Wars (Such as Buzz's monologue regarding a space station with enough power to destroy a planet, a reference to the Death Star). Pixar was originally formed from the Industrial Light & Magic Computer Graphics Group.

-

• When Buzz gets knocked out the window, he emits the Wilhelm Scream.

-

• In 2003, the Online Film Critics Society ranked the film as the greatest animated film of all time.^[1]

-

• All of the cars in Toy Story are registered for November 1995, the film's month of release.

-

• Sid's room contains an issue of "TM 31-210 IMPROVISED INTERROGATION HANDBOOK". However, the real title of TM 31-210 is Improvised Munition Handbook.

-

• A poster on Sid's wall that says "Megadork" is perhaps a pun on the metal band Megadeth

-

• When Sid is attacked by his abused toys, a doll behind him screams 'redrum', an homage to Stephen King's novel, 'The Shining'. During the same scene, Woody spins his head around 360 degrees; an homage to 'The Exorcist'.

[edit] Santa Clause 2 reference

In one of the final scenes of Santa Clause 2, Scott is fighting the plastic Santa, and the plastic Santa goads him in saying "You are a sad and strange little man." Toy Story much? :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.152.120 (talk) 15:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
