the street on which Pixar’s original headquarters were based. The pins on the map in Andy’s room correspond to the hometowns of “Toy Story 3” production staff.
P.U. stands for Pixar University, a professional-development program for Pixar employees.
The Pizza Planet Truck from the first every feature length CGI film 'Toy Story' has appeared in every Pixar film since. This is intertextual and shows a visual timeline of the content improvement of CGI animation whilst using the pizza truck as a symbolic reference to the first film which produced every one of these other fantastic films. Pretty cool, right?
A113: What started as an inside joke of CalArts alumni (a reference to the classroom number that was used by Animation students, including John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Brad Bird, Pete Docter) has been present in not only every Pixar film, but Disney movies, Iron Giant, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Powerpuffgirls and Tinytoon Adventures. It's almost a way of each post graduate student signalling to each other that them too studied in that room and look at the work they are producing now. I'll admit if I ever get the opportunity i'd do the same writing 'FMM' or 'UoH' for the sake of subliminal references.
The version of Ken used in “Toy Story 3” is modeled after “Animal Lovin’ Ken” from 1988.
The version of Barbie used in “Toy Story 3” is modeled after “Great Shape Barbie” from 1983.
