Toy Story 3 Movie Facts, Easter Eggs and hidden details

When explaining how they play with Bonnie, Buttercup played by Jeff Garlin says "We do a lot of improv here." Jeff Garlin is most well known for Curb Your Enthusiasm, a show where most of the dialogue is improvised.

While in Andy's room you can see pinned on his board a post card from Carl and Ellie from the film Up (2009)

One of Bonnie's treasured toys was a Totoro plushie; showcasing a cool collaboration between Disney, Pixar, and Studio Ghibli.

Kent State University nod. Michael Keaton was the actor who voiced Ken in Toy Story 3. Keaton is also a proud Kent State alumni. During this scene, he shows Barbie his varsity jacket which Kent State school colors, blue and gold.

At Sunnyside Day Care, we see a child wearing a shirt with a lightning bolt and the number 95 on it. Ka-chow! That's a reference to Lightning McQueen. In addition to being the racer's number, 95 also commemorates the year 1995, when Toy Story was released.

The train in the opening sequence is labeled as "95". A reference to the first Toy Story film released in 1995.

Pixar's easter egg A113 is used as license plate of the van of Andy's family

When Andy gives his toys to Bonnie, he briefly describes each of them before handing them to her. Since Andy isn't aware of them coming to life, or their personalities/experiences, his descriptions of them are how HE sees them, not necessarily how WE have seen them.

When Barbie meets Ken at the Dreamhouse, he takes the elevator and it hitches several times on the way down. It was a well known fact that Barbie dreamhouse elevators would hitch constantly when moving.

The closing shot is a nod to the opening shot of Andy's wallpaper in Toy Story 1.

Ken says Libary the way a child would say it.

During operation playtime in the beginning of the movie, Buzz has Andy's phone number written inside his communicator. The original sticker that had the communicator details is gone, because he peeled it off while he was depressed in Toy Story 1 (1995).

As the toys pull Buzz from underneath a broken TV, the music that plays is the first seven notes of his song, I Will Go Sailing No More by Randy Newman. This song was first played in the original Toy Story when Buzz finally realized he would never fly.

The trash collector that almost takes the toys away, is an adult Sid from the first Toy Story movie

When Hamm and Rex are pretending to fight in the cage in order to escape Sunnyside, Hamm says to Rex, "Hey! What do you think you're doing? I told you, keep your hands off of my stuff!". Rex was touching Hamm's cork.

The carpeting in Toy Story 3 (2010) is the same/very close to the carpet in The Shining (1980).

When the toys meet the bin man, it is in fact, Sid who is collecting the bins. He is even wearing the same skull t-shirt as he did in the first film.
