For years, fans have been obsessed with theories that the Pixar movies are set in an alternate universe, leading to video compilations and thesis’ being written. In the 34 years since then, Pixar has given audiences around the world 21 feature films, with two more on the way this year: Onward on March 6 and Soul on June 19, and four more untitled pics slated for the early 2020s. Pixar started out as of Lucasfilm’s graphics-driven computer division and became its own corporation on February 3, 1986. “We have no choice but to stan - and stream - Pixar! Happy Anniversary to the iconic studio.” Additionally, Pixar shared original artwork commemorating its movies via social media, which can also be found below. “The attention to detail here is INCREDIBLE,” reads the tweet. ![]() Of all of the popular Pixar franchises, Toy Story is the one that has really lent itself to both hiding and providing Easter eggs.

The movie has references to a couple of Pixar classic Easter eggs - Luca takes a train ticket with A113 on it to Genova, the Luxo ball is seen on a roof and there's a few Disney movie references with the fountain in the piazza taken from Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The pair are able to look human as long as they don't get wet.
