[0:00] I found every Pixar Easter egg in Toy
[0:02] Story 5, including the exact
[0:04] never-before-found Gato reference and a
[0:06] crazy joke the animators slipped in for
[0:08] Conan O'Brien's character, Smarty Pants.
[0:10] And I actually found Lotso in this
[0:13] movie. I wish I was kidding. I'm Eric
[0:15] Boss of the New Rockstars channel and
[0:16] this is a breakdown of all the Easter
[0:18] eggs, callbacks, references, and details
[0:20] you missed in Toy Story 5. I loved this
[0:23] movie and there were so many hidden
[0:24] details in every scene that I just had
[0:26] to break it down scene by scene. So,
[0:28] let's get started. Toy Story 5 opens
[0:30] with a point of view shot of one of the
[0:32] high-tech edition Buzz Lightyear's
[0:34] looking up at a palm tree from under his
[0:35] helmet on a remote tropical island that
[0:37] their shipping container apparently
[0:38] washed up on. Yeah, these Buzzes' fates
[0:40] are kind of similar to another Tom Hanks
[0:42] film, Castaway. But, it's interesting
[0:44] how we start this movie from a point of
[0:45] view of both a Buzz and a Jessie and a
[0:47] Woody all either in or looking up at a
[0:49] tree. Right away, we see this Buzz's
[0:52] chest console lights up with the space
[0:54] command sigil, whereas the 1995 Buzz's
[0:56] chest just has a sticker. This movie
[0:58] will set out to show that not all
[1:00] tech-enhanced toys are evil. When used
[1:02] properly and in moderation, they can
[1:03] serve other needs for a child. These
[1:05] high-tech Buzzes really serve that
[1:07] thematic mission. And it's pretty cool
[1:08] how this fifth movie totally gets the
[1:10] assignment of restoring Buzz Lightyear's
[1:11] reputation as the coolest toy ever.
[1:14] Similar to the opening sequence of
[1:15] Wall-E, also directed by Andrew Stanton,
[1:17] we get this really fun non-verbal
[1:19] sequence of these Buzzes waking each
[1:21] other up and scouting the island.
[1:22] According to the crew, there are exactly
[1:24] 51 Buzzes here. They start a campfire
[1:27] and before you ask, "How did these toys
[1:29] start a fire?" Um, did we forget the
[1:31] critical moment in the first Toy Story
[1:32] film when Buzz's dome focused sunlight
[1:34] to ignite the fuse? That's how. These
[1:37] embers flowed up to the brightest star,
[1:38] giving these Buzzes the star of their
[1:40] star command that will bring them
[1:42] ultimately to Jessie, who got her
[1:44] star-shaped sheriff badge from Woody in
[1:46] the final scene of Toy Story 4. And you
[1:48] know Pixar's overlords at Disney were
[1:50] thrilled that this movie ties in with
[1:51] the studio's motif of every animated
[1:53] movie having a wishing star. That's the
[1:56] one wish star of all Disney wishers. We
[1:58] transition to the blue sky with puffy
[2:00] clouds that really perfectly matches
[2:02] Andy's wallpaper, but we angle down on
[2:04] the tree many years prior where Jessie's
[2:06] owner Emily left her behind. We hear the
[2:08] notes of "When She Loved Me" and yes,
[2:10] many of us were crying at this point,
[2:11] but then this scene kind of
[2:12] recontextualizes exactly what went down
[2:15] there. Jessie who just wasn't left in a
[2:16] box, she really did have this emotional
[2:18] goodbye with Emily. On the inner flap of
[2:20] Jessie's jeans, thankfully never found
[2:22] by Al in Toy Story 2 cuz you know that
[2:24] guy would still be hunting her down to
[2:25] this address. Emily wrote her name in
[2:27] 1200 Ranch Road. The address number of
[2:30] 1200, no coincidence. Pixar Animation
[2:32] Studios is at 1200 Park Avenue in
[2:34] Emeryville, California. But for the
[2:36] first time, we see and hear Jessie's
[2:38] pull string phrases. Yeah, for every one
[2:40] of these films since Toy Story 2, Jessie
[2:42] has had a pull string, but it has never
[2:43] been pulled until this movie. Emily
[2:45] pulls it here and we hear Jessie go,
[2:47] "Friends forever, partner." Later in the
[2:49] movie when Blaze pulls the pull string,
[2:50] Jessie says, "I ain't afraid of nothing,
[2:52] partner." And "Yeehaw, that's right."
[2:55] It's going to be really fun to hear how
[2:56] these two particular phrases come back
[2:58] throughout the film to bring Blaze and
[3:00] Bonnie together. When Emily holds her
[3:01] face to Jessie for the last time,
[3:03] Jessie's plastic smile gives way to an
[3:04] affection and glance. Emily promises to
[3:06] never stop loving Jessie even if she
[3:08] can't see her all the time. The
[3:10] directors of every Toy Story film have
[3:11] made it pretty clear that this series is
[3:13] a metaphor for parents and children and
[3:15] how it's really a parent's job to just
[3:17] always be there for a kid even when the
[3:18] kid outgrows them. As this was the first
[3:20] Toy Story movie that I saw after
[3:22] becoming a parent, howdy howdy howdy did
[3:24] this one hit different. So, Emily's
[3:26] words here form a kind of message back
[3:28] from the kid to the parent. Just because
[3:29] I don't call or FaceTime you all the
[3:31] time doesn't mean I'm not thinking about
[3:32] you all the time. And on the final swing
[3:34] of the tire as Emily says, "I'm gone."
[3:37] In the blinding sunlight, we transition
[3:39] to the present day when Bonnie completes
[3:40] the thought. We're going to see
[3:41] throughout this movie how Jessie cannot
[3:43] get this memory of Emily out of her
[3:44] head. Emily's living rent-free in this
[3:47] plastic dome. But here, Bonnie is
[3:48] staging Forky's wedding to Karen
[3:50] Beverly, Forky's new partner from the
[3:52] final minutes of Toy Story 4, and all
[3:54] the other toys left at Bonnie's house in
[3:56] Toy Story 4 are in attendance, for the
[3:57] most part. We see Jessie, Buzz,
[3:59] Bullseye, Rex, Mr. Pricklepants,
[4:01] Buttercup, Dolly, and one alien who
[4:03] never talks in this movie, maybe because
[4:05] Pixar fired the guy who voiced him.
[4:06] Dolly now has glasses that Bonnie drew
[4:08] on her that Dolly claims helps her
[4:10] actually see better. We're really here
[4:11] in Bonnie's imagination. This film's VFX
[4:14] supervisor Thomas Jordan told TechRadar
[4:16] that the creative team experimented with
[4:17] different animation styles to show this
[4:19] and ultimately settled on this great
[4:20] pastel chalk design inspired by the
[4:22] pastel chalks used by the late great
[4:24] artist Ralph Eggleston for the very
[4:26] first Toy Story film in order to do
[4:27] lighting tests. And notice later when we
[4:29] see Blaze's imagination, it has a very
[4:31] similar pastel chalk design, though with
[4:33] just a few differences. This was the
[4:35] animator's way of showing that these two
[4:37] girls would ultimately be compatible.
[4:39] Bonnie made Rex the maid of honor who
[4:40] gets poisoned from the wedding cake. And
[4:42] notice how Rex turns blue with purple
[4:44] polka dots, the same color scheme of
[4:46] Sulley from Monsters Inc. Bonnie's a shy
[4:48] girl who's not great at breaking the ice
[4:50] and can't immediately befriend the
[4:52] Jackson twins across the street. And
[4:53] Jessie does some digging and learns that
[4:55] all the homes in town have been taken
[4:56] over by these green devices, tech. This
[4:59] bad news comes to her from this
[5:00] abandoned bath toy, Captain Suds. We
[5:02] first met Captain Suds in the 2012 Toy
[5:04] Story short Party Saur Rex. Other
[5:06] tech-fearing toys include a turtle
[5:08] sandbox, a transformer-looking toy, and
[5:10] a very funny Energizer Bunny type thing
[5:12] who's obsessed with the tap tap tapping
[5:14] and retreats into the bushes like the
[5:16] Homer Simpson meme. So, Bonnie's parents
[5:18] buy her a Lilypad tablet. The Lilypad
[5:20] based on the brand of LeapFrog. It comes
[5:22] in a Ship It box. Ship It is a shipping
[5:24] company that was first seen in
[5:25] [clears throat] Toy Story of Terror.
[5:27] There's also a Ship It Express that we
[5:28] see later in the movie by the ice cream
[5:30] parlor. Lilypad and many of the devices
[5:31] are manufactured by a company called
[5:33] Eggman. Eggman was also the name of the
[5:34] moving company from the first film, a
[5:36] reference again to Pixar artist Ralph
[5:38] Eggleston. As Bonnie gets
[5:39] screen-addicted
[5:41] with terrifying accuracy and lack of
[5:43] blinking, notice how her mom's voice
[5:44] fades away right as she starts to say,
[5:46] "And tomorrow we'll talk about" which is
[5:48] probably Bonnie's mom saying that
[5:49] they're going to have a talk about
[5:50] screen time moderation and how social
[5:52] media and DM apps can be toxic. But,
[5:54] within seconds, Bonnie doesn't even hear
[5:56] any of that. You see it's a play with
[5:57] the lily pad all night, for a while not
[5:59] even moving from her position, so the
[6:00] robo back just bumps into her. And the
[6:02] next morning, we end up echoing back to
[6:03] the first Toy Story where the new cool
[6:05] toy is up on the bed while all the other
[6:07] toys on the floor have to send the
[6:08] sheriff, this time Jessie, up to check
[6:10] it out. Lily pad is voiced by Greta Lee.
[6:12] The VFX supervisor, Thomas Jordan, also
[6:14] noted that while all the other toys'
[6:15] eyes when they come to life are somewhat
[6:17] organic, Lily's eyes are digitized.
[6:19] Another way of showing her more evolved
[6:21] status as a tech toy. Lily scrolls
[6:23] through a website on her screen called
[6:24] Ribbit. I guess it's a spin on Reddit.
[6:26] One of the articles reads, "How deep is
[6:28] the ocean?" And the art we see is
[6:30] actually a still from Andrew Stanton's
[6:31] first Pixar film, Finding Nemo. Looks
[6:33] like Marlin and Dory might have actually
[6:34] been removed from this reef, but this is
[6:36] a background that they used. Beneath
[6:38] that is a post that says, "Ducks win
[6:39] prizes?" and some duck sketches that
[6:41] some think could be a reference to the
[6:43] animated musical code named Ducks that's
[6:44] rumored to be in development at Pixar.
[6:46] Lily sends friend requests to the other
[6:47] girls in Bonnie's dance class, Chelsea,
[6:49] Cara, and Heidi, the true mean girl
[6:51] villains of this film. Chelsea's avatar
[6:53] is a beaver, which could be a nod to
[6:54] Pixar's previous film, Hoppers. Cara's
[6:56] blue bird kind of looks like one of the
[6:57] birds from the Pixar short, For the
[6:59] Birds. Bullseye shows his host to spell
[7:01] out D A N Y and then rearranges to Andy,
[7:03] just like when Andy had first written
[7:04] his name on his host at the end of Toy
[7:06] Story 2. Lily brings up an infopedia
[7:08] page on the Jessie cowgirl doll with
[7:10] imagery from the old Woody's Roundup
[7:11] puppet show that we saw in Toy Story 2
[7:13] and an eBay page for Jessie. And it
[7:15] reads "$0.00"
[7:17] meaning no one has bid on Jessie yet. I
[7:19] mean, based on the passage of time, I
[7:20] wonder if Al going out of business might
[7:22] lead to him no longer being with us.
[7:24] He's otherwise he would have bid at
[7:25] least a penny for Jessie. Lily gets
[7:27] Bonnie invited to a sleepover and
[7:28] Jessie, feeling obsolete, radios over to
[7:31] Woody's group which split off from the
[7:32] others at the end of Toy Story 4. Duke
[7:34] Caboom answers, once again voiced by
[7:36] Keanu Reeves, and then he goes over to
[7:38] Bo Peep and Woody, Bo down below by
[7:40] their skunk race car that they drive
[7:42] around in, which explains why they're
[7:44] always avoided. And Woody is up in a
[7:45] tree saving Dr. Nutcase, a peanut toy in
[7:48] a luchador mask voiced by Matty Matheson
[7:51] from The Bear and food content creator.
[7:53] He's stuck in a kite about to get eaten
[7:54] by a squirrel who thinks he's a real
[7:55] peanut. Ducky and Bunny are there
[7:57] helping with the rescue, returning from
[7:58] Toy Story 4. But it seems like Jordan
[8:00] Peele and Keegan-Michael Key did not
[8:01] return to voice any lines here.
[8:03] Meanwhile, the high-tech Buzzes make it
[8:04] to the Port of Oakland. I assume this is
[8:06] the Port of Oakland due to the fog, the
[8:08] proximity to Emeryville where Pixar our
[8:10] animation studios is, and really the
[8:11] lore every Pixar animator knows that
[8:13] these shipping container cranes were the
[8:15] inspiration for the AT-ATs in Star Wars.
[8:17] Now, George Lucas has said that's a
[8:19] myth, but I just feel like he's wrong. I
[8:21] mean, really, unless otherwise stated,
[8:22] most Pixar movies take place in San
[8:24] Francisco in the Bay Area. Certainly
[8:26] Inside Out and Inside Out 2 do, but also
[8:28] this movie has certain Bay Area
[8:30] geographical landmarks like the tunnel
[8:32] north of the Golden Gate Bridge on the
[8:33] 101. That's where Buzz and Jessie kiss
[8:35] in this movie. And the fact that horse
[8:36] ranches are nearby to some foggy port.
[8:39] Also have forest areas where people go
[8:41] hiking, and just this random elderly
[8:43] hippie couple in the VW. There's only so
[8:45] many places in America where you would
[8:46] find all those things. Though, I will
[8:47] admit whenever we see the city in the
[8:49] background of this movie, it's not the
[8:50] San Francisco skyline. At the sleepover,
[8:52] Bonnie is immediately judged for still
[8:53] playing with dolls like Jessie and
[8:55] Bullseye. So, she says, "Goodbye,
[8:57] Jessie." And then tosses them in the
[9:00] backseat and just takes Lily Pad as her
[9:01] toy of choice for the sleepover. Inside,
[9:03] these girls all just glue onto their
[9:05] screens and don't even look at each
[9:06] other. And they make Bonnie sit on the
[9:07] floor. Meanwhile, this old couple finds
[9:09] Jessie and Bullseye and drives back to
[9:10] the 1200 Ranch Road address. When Jessie
[9:13] first scans the farm, notice in the
[9:14] distance is that tree with the tire
[9:15] swing where she was left, but Jessie's
[9:17] just too panicked in this moment to
[9:18] realize the emotional significance of
[9:20] where she is. Jessie and Bullseye meet a
[9:22] real horse named Daffodil. Daffodil was
[9:24] created by the VFX team using an
[9:25] entirely new rigging system that doesn't
[9:27] use Pixar's normal lighting system of
[9:29] Luna or their rendering system of
[9:30] RenderMan. You can really see it in this
[9:32] shot after Daffodil has run Jessie and
[9:34] Bullseye back into the barn and Jessie's
[9:36] stuck under the hay. She sees Daffodil
[9:38] and Bullseye shake and stomp in parallel
[9:40] gestures, but where as Bullseye has the
[9:42] rag doll movement, Daffodil has a far
[9:44] more organic musculature to its
[9:46] movement. Woody and Bo Peep return to
[9:47] Bonnie's house. Woody wears a kerchief
[9:49] as a western poncho looking like Clint
[9:51] Eastwood as the man with no name in the
[9:53] Sergio Leone movies. Behind him when he
[9:55] lands, notice how Bonnie has drawn
[9:56] clouds on the chalkboard reminiscent of
[9:58] Andy's wallpaper. He has a bald spot on
[10:00] the back of his head apparently from
[10:01] taking his hat off and putting it back
[10:02] on too many times and it blinds
[10:04] everyone. Actually in the credits we see
[10:06] Bo Peep using a brown marker to finally
[10:08] cover Woody's bald spot. Buzz greets
[10:09] Woody with the same arm laser that he
[10:11] aimed at Woody when they first met in
[10:13] the first film. While Buzz claims to be
[10:15] Jessie's one deputy, Woody gets Buzz to
[10:17] look away, the same trick Woody played
[10:18] on Buzz in the first film. BUZZ, LOOK AT
[10:20] THE ALIEN.
[10:22] AND IN THIS MOMENT WOODY JUST TAKES ONE
[10:24] OF KAREN Beverly's other star stickers
[10:25] and puts it on. Meanwhile Jessie meets
[10:27] the pig Jimmy Dean, a pretty mean name
[10:29] for a pig, and Jimmy drops her in
[10:31] Blaze's old playhouse outside. Inside
[10:33] are a combat Carl all voiced by Ernie
[10:35] Hudson. Actually a different model of
[10:37] combat Carl was blown up by Sid with an
[10:39] M-80 in his backyard in the first film.
[10:41] >> Oh no, it's a combat Carl.
[10:44] >> There's an inflatable flamingo, a garden
[10:46] gnome, a giraffe xylophone, a stuffed
[10:48] cow, and a pizza with sunglasses voiced
[10:50] by Bad Bunny. The design of this
[10:52] character was actually used as the
[10:53] mascot of Pizza Putt, an early version
[10:55] of Pizza Planet when it was going to be
[10:57] a miniature golf course rather than a
[10:58] space themed arcade. After an awkward
[11:00] play tea party, Jessie realizes she's
[11:02] sitting on Blaze's first device, Smarty
[11:04] Pants, a potty training helper voiced by
[11:07] Conan O'Brien, the MVP of this movie if
[11:09] you ask me. This toy's design is based
[11:11] on a roll of toilet paper with one
[11:13] button for number one, one button for
[11:15] number two, and a middle blue flush
[11:16] button. Maybe the handle is meant to
[11:18] hang next to a toilet and the whole
[11:20] device just kind of occupies a toddler
[11:22] while it takes them forever to get
[11:23] something out. Obviously it's a failed
[11:24] device that didn't work too well. I like
[11:26] how Smarty Pants yellow handle evokes
[11:28] Conan O'Brien's iconic hair, which
[11:29] Smarty Pants actually later dons a
[11:31] realistic version of in Blaze's
[11:33] imagination. I also love the running
[11:35] joke that Smarty Pants says "flush" in
[11:36] place of another F-word. Meanwhile, the
[11:38] 51 Buzz is run into a deer. This leads
[11:40] to this hilarious unhinged moment where
[11:42] all the Buzzes mingle with all the
[11:44] woodland creatures set to "Love is a
[11:46] song that never ends" from the 1942
[11:49] Disney classic Bambi. And while you may
[11:51] have noticed that one, you might not
[11:52] have noticed the song that comes right
[11:53] after it when the human hikers walk up,
[11:55] the music switches to this very
[11:56] threatening music. This is actually the
[11:58] man returns theme [music] from the Bambi
[12:00] score. Jessie gets inside the main house
[12:02] and gets new batteries for Smarty Pants,
[12:04] who also recharges two other tech toys,
[12:06] Atlas, a GPS device voiced by Craig
[12:08] Robinson, and Snappy, a toy digital
[12:10] camera voiced by Shelby Rubara. Each of
[12:12] these toys represent different eras of
[12:13] evolving technology. The production
[12:15] designer said that Smarty Pants would
[12:17] have been something that Blaze had when
[12:18] she was two or three, and it would have
[12:20] been manufactured 5 to 8 years before
[12:22] that. Potentially like a 15-year-old toy
[12:24] based off of whenever this movie is set.
[12:26] And we learn that since they're all
[12:28] Eggman products, they are all compatible
[12:30] with each other using these cables, and
[12:32] Smarty Pants can send texts to that same
[12:34] Eggman Pond Messenger service. Snappy
[12:36] shows photos from Blaze including one
[12:38] from Disneyland.
[12:39] >> Wait a minute, where is that?
[12:40] >> That's Disneyland.
[12:42] >> Oh, yeah, that's me in a pocket.
[12:43] >> Flush, you both went there?
[12:45] >> Yeah, there's another big Disney plug
[12:47] from Pixar. Those Pixar folks really
[12:49] want new CEO Josh D'Amaro to keep giving
[12:51] them employee silver passes to the
[12:52] parks. Summertime's here and that means
[12:54] fun in the sun, but also bee stings,
[12:57] allergies, sunburn, scraped knees, and
[12:58] the occasional case of "I think my
[13:00] burger was undercooked." You know, stuff
[13:02] you'd love to get help from a doctor for
[13:05] if finding a doctor wasn't such a pain.
[13:07] Well, thanks to Zocdoc, it's easy to

[13:50] Berg got stung by something that made
[13:51] his hand swell up so much he couldn't
[13:52] make a fist. Using Zocdoc, he was able
[13:54] to avoid a pricey visit to urgent care.
[13:56] Instead, he saw an allergist a few
[13:58] blocks from his house who gave him
[13:59] prescription antihistamines that kept it
[14:01] under control. Your health matters, and

[14:20] >> [music]
[14:22] >> Jessie realizes that this was Emily's
[14:24] old house, and she says that she knew
[14:25] from the beginning that the dance class
[14:26] girls wouldn't be right for Bonnie
[14:28] because Bonnie just has a particular
[14:29] style of playing that not all kids have.
[14:31] I like the acknowledgement that it's not
[14:33] just like kids are mean. I mean, kids
[14:34] are mean. It's just that Bonnie is
[14:36] quirky in a particular way. And when
[14:38] Jessie sees Blades get stood up by a
[14:40] friend, cry, and then comfort herself by
[14:42] making her pig talk to her, Jessie knows
[14:43] that these two girls are going to make
[14:45] perfect friends for each other. Bonnie
[14:46] returns from her sleepover exhausted and
[14:48] bummed after being abandoned during a
[14:50] game of hide-and-seek. What the hell?
[14:53] Those three little witches let Bonnie
[14:55] hide in a coat closet or whatever and
[14:57] just left her there? I spent way too
[14:58] long trying to figure out what exactly
[15:00] happened at that sleepover. My theory is
[15:02] that they started to play hide-and-seek,
[15:03] and then they just all got distracted by
[15:05] their tablets, and seriously forgot that
[15:07] they were playing, and cared so little
[15:08] about this newcomer to their friend
[15:10] group that they just let her be
[15:11] passively bullied like that until it
[15:12] became more okay for them to actively
[15:14] bully her. Lilly swipes through a bunch
[15:16] of game apps, including this one called
[15:18] Pigeon Piazza. So, this is the Gatto
[15:21] Easter egg hidden in the movie. Remember
[15:22] every Pixar movie has an Easter egg
[15:24] reference in the next release. So there
[15:26] would be a Gato somewhere in this movie
[15:27] and this one detail seems to reference
[15:29] A, Italy and B, something straight cats
[15:32] in Italy would be obsessed with pigeons.
[15:34] Also the animation style of this icon
[15:36] with the pigeon does kind of look like
[15:37] the style director Enrico Casarosa loves
[15:39] to go for. Actually the directors of
[15:41] this movie Andrew Stanton and Kenna
[15:42] Harris said that the Gato Easter egg was
[15:44] one of the lily pad apps so it's got to
[15:46] be this one. There's another game called
[15:47] Chicken Farmer and it's the same red
[15:49] barn and chicken in overalls as Al's Toy
[15:51] Barn in Toy Story 2. Smarty Pants Atlas
[15:53] and Snappy use their compatibility to
[15:55] send a photo of Jessie and Bullseye to
[15:56] the egg man pond message board. When
[15:58] Smarty Pants finally sends it with his
[15:59] very slow upload speed it makes a whoosh
[16:02] sound effect. Smarty Pants offers Jessie
[16:04] to play one of his games, pick the poop.
[16:05] When Jessie says that she'll never play
[16:07] he teases, "They all say that." And he
[16:09] rubs the sticky hand in a circle around
[16:11] the number two button which in the
[16:13] context of what number two means to
[16:15] Smarty Pants, what exactly is he doing?
[16:17] But it's also the kind of thing Conan
[16:18] O'Brien will do whenever he's being like
[16:20] weirdly flirty or he'll just kind of
[16:21] like rub his chest specifically when he
[16:23] was on Hot Ones and he took the hot
[16:24] sauce and just started rubbing himself
[16:26] with it. I really do think the animators
[16:27] were referencing that particular thing
[16:29] that he does. The Buzzes meanwhile find
[16:31] the campsite where one of them was taken
[16:32] and finds the family in the tent reading
[16:34] this passage. And they had splendid
[16:36] games together in whispers when Nana had
[16:38] gone away to her supper and left the
[16:39] nightlight burning on the mantelpiece.
[16:41] And when the boy dropped off to sleep
[16:42] the rabbit was snuggled down close under
[16:44] his little warm chin and dream with the
[16:46] boy's hands clasped close around him all
[16:48] night long. This is from The Velveteen
[16:50] Rabbit, the 1922 Margery Williams book
[16:52] with William Nicholson's actual original
[16:54] illustrations here in the shot. This
[16:55] really was the original Toy Story story
[16:58] about toys feeling unconditional love
[16:59] for the children who own them. So cool
[17:01] for them to work it into this movie.
[17:03] They see on the girl's laptop the pond
[17:05] post of Jessie and they see her
[17:06] sheriff's badge associate the star
[17:08] command and their LED screens all light
[17:10] back up with this closing tag code
[17:12] symbol meaning the end of a function and
[17:13] the start of something new. In this case
[17:15] the new mission being to find Jessie.
[17:17] And the map application they look at has
[17:19] the destination pin as another Pixar
[17:21] Easter egg, the Luxo ball, red star on
[17:24] yellow circle. When we catch up with
[17:25] Jessie the next morning, Smarty Pants
[17:27] was right, she's totally DDR-ing on the
[17:28] Pick the Poop game. And yeah, the old
[17:30] generation toys all love electronic
[17:32] games. Ham and Rex played the video game
[17:33] Buzz Lightyear Attack on Zurg at the
[17:35] beginning of Toy Story 2. Jessie shows
[17:37] the tech toys the difference between
[17:38] games and play. We go into Blaze's
[17:40] imagination, which again matches the
[17:42] pastel chalk design of Bonnie's
[17:43] imagination. Incoming voices, imaginary
[17:46] Bullseye. Amazing casting there. Jimmy
[17:48] drags in the tech toys and Smarty Pants
[17:50] has Conan O'Brien's actual hair. The
[17:52] whole thing plays out like an espionage
[17:54] scenario, kind of like the beginning
[17:55] scene of True Lies. Bullseye himself
[17:57] gets to be the villain of this. It's
[17:58] really a continuation of the theme from
[18:00] Toy Story 4 that anything can be a toy,
[18:02] even if it was intended for something
[18:03] else. Like if the kid uses it for
[18:05] unstructured play, boom, it's a toy.
[18:07] Lily wakes up from her low battery and
[18:08] freaks out that the other girls have
[18:09] multiple inside jokes about breakfast.
[18:11] The last message reads, "Second
[18:12] breakfast." Meaning that this mean girl
[18:15] must have parents who love Fellowship of
[18:16] the Ring.
[18:16] >> What about second breakfast?
[18:18] >> If she really understood the core
[18:19] message of Lord of the Rings and
[18:20] Fellowship of the Ring, she would not
[18:21] treat her friends this way. Woody and
[18:23] Buzz force Lily to send out the Pond
[18:24] post of the photo of Jessie and
[18:25] Bullseye, which prints out from the
[18:27] printer and gets immediately shredded by
[18:28] the RoboVac. This got a big laugh from
[18:30] me, because these things aren't
[18:31] lawnmowers with blades that chop stuff
[18:33] up like this. But it's kind of like The
[18:34] Simpsons, everything that breaks just
[18:36] explodes into a massive fireball gag. I
[18:38] love it. Bonnie uses Lily to text Smarty
[18:40] Pants to meet up to get Jessie and
[18:41] Bullseye back. And I like how Smarty
[18:43] Pants starts to add, "Bring money."
[18:45] Another great joke here. But Bonnie then
[18:47] gets straight-up cyberbullied by the
[18:49] other three girls who also saw the Pond
[18:51] post of Jessie and Bullseye and shared
[18:53] it back in their group thread with
[18:54] Bonnie to call Bonnie a baby for still
[18:57] playing with toys, complete with images
[18:59] of babies crying. Again, I think this
[19:00] all started at the sleepover, but also
[19:03] we got to remember this is a world with
[19:04] psychopaths like Sid. So naturally,
[19:06] there would be mean girls like Chelsea,
[19:07] Heidi, and Kara. So when our already shy
[19:10] girl Bonnie meets the awesome Blaze who
[19:12] loves her toys as much as she does. Out
[19:14] of shame, she claims to not play with
[19:16] toys like this and that they're just
[19:17] antiques. Oof, Jessie has to go from
[19:19] that frozen smile that hides her panic
[19:21] and heartbreak. And when Blaze lowers
[19:23] them, Bullseye takes a chance to look
[19:25] over at Jessie to see if she's okay. And
[19:27] Jessie will not even turn her head. The
[19:29] colors are now morbid and dim back in
[19:31] Blaze's room when Jessie melts down,
[19:33] first trying to get Bullseye to leave
[19:34] her behind even though Bullseye knows
[19:36] he's more at home here with this horse
[19:37] girl than he is anywhere else. And then
[19:39] Jessie turns on Smarty Pants and she
[19:41] nearly like curb stomps his wiring all
[19:43] over Blaze's floor. Woody, meanwhile, is
[19:45] taken by the Buzzes and nearly is fed to
[19:47] Jimmy, but our Buzz explains to these
[19:49] high-tech models that they are toys,
[19:50] saying, "Search your feelings. You know
[19:52] it to be true."
[19:53] >> [laughter]
[19:53] >> A reference, of course, to what Darth
[19:55] Vader says to Luke after he reveals he's
[19:56] his father.
[19:57] >> Search your feelings. You know [music]
[19:59] it to be true.
[20:00] >> That being the big parallel with Buzz
[20:02] and Zurg from Toy Story 2 that this
[20:04] scene brings back at the end when Buzz
[20:05] tells the others that Zurg is their dad.
[20:07] And they all collapse in shock. So now,
[20:09] Bonnie's mom finally decides to observe
[20:11] her young daughter's first time usage of
[20:13] social media. And Lily decides to donate
[20:16] herself to the Tri-County Charity's
[20:17] Donation Center. This is the same
[20:19] organization where Jessie was donated in
[20:21] Toy Story 2. Jessie realizes that on the
[20:23] tire swing tree, someone had carved,
[20:25] "Jessie was here." And buried in a lunch
[20:27] pail of belongings is a message from
[20:29] Andy Dufresne. Just kidding. These are
[20:30] all things owned not by Emily, but
[20:32] Emily's daughter, Jessie. Yes, Emily
[20:35] named her daughter after her favorite
[20:37] toy and brought her daughter back to
[20:39] this beloved spot to play. Since these
[20:41] Toy Story movies are, again, all
[20:42] metaphors for parents and children and
[20:44] the obsolescence parents feel when our
[20:46] kids grow up, what a beautiful idea that
[20:49] we can find new joy and purpose in our
[20:50] children spreading the joy we taught
[20:52] them with someone else. And I love that
[20:54] after this, Jessie uses the yellow hair
[20:57] bubble from the lunch pail that human
[20:58] Jessie had in her hair in the photo to
[21:00] tie her own braid. So by doing this,
[21:02] Jessie finally heals the wound that Toy
[21:04] Story 2 never, in fairness, truly
[21:06] healed. It's not about finding a forever
[21:08] kid, it's about finding a kid you can
[21:10] help along at the right time in that
[21:12] kid's life. And the judgment she had for
[21:14] the devices that she met just being
[21:15] short-term toys was not warranted.
[21:17] There's still a function that all of
[21:18] these objects can play, including
[21:20] Lilypad. In Lilypad's case, just simply
[21:22] connecting kids, kids who normally have
[21:24] trouble breaking the ice. So, they all
[21:26] rushed to chase down Lilypad and the
[21:27] donation truck. They stop at a road as a
[21:29] Pizza Planet truck passes. Yes, the
[21:31] recurring Pixar movie Easter egg. But
[21:33] then as the truck goes on the freeway,
[21:34] we get even more Easter eggs. The street
[21:36] the overpass goes over has a Dinoco gas
[21:39] station, a Pizza Planet restaurant with
[21:41] a full rocket and planet design, and a
[21:43] Poultry Palace. Yes, three recurring
[21:45] in-universe chains in Pixar titles. Lily
[21:47] sees the QR code on the high-tech Buzz's
[21:49] back and unlocks a new upgrade in all of
[21:51] them, a drone function, of course.
[21:54] Finally, the one thing Buzz Lightyear
[21:56] thought he could do that he actually
[21:57] could not do, leading to his epic defeat
[21:59] where Randy Newman said he would go
[22:01] sailing no more.
[22:04] That Buzz could only overcome by
[22:06] settling for falling with style. Those
[22:08] brilliant bastards finally figured it
[22:09] out. He's truly a flying toy now. And
[22:12] what he even calls it in this scene,
[22:14] flying with style. And I like how many
[22:16] of the toy horses I get lifted up by the
[22:17] drone Buzzes. Many of them continue to
[22:19] gallop in the air because, you know,
[22:21] they just instinctively want to feel
[22:22] like they are running. But perhaps the
[22:24] most haunting Easter egg of this film,
[22:25] Lotso appears in this movie, right here.
[22:28] Production designer Bob Pauley said that
[22:30] Lotso was hidden somewhere in the movie,
[22:31] and I found him. He's right here as the
[22:33] donation truck goes into the tunnel, a
[22:35] garbage truck comes out the other side,
[22:37] and you can barely make out the purple
[22:39] blur of Lotso still tied to the grill of
[22:42] that garbage truck. It has been years
[22:44] since the end of Toy Story 3 where that
[22:46] was his fate, and he is still there,
[22:48] still plotting his revenge. And by the
[22:51] looks of it, headed toward the
[22:52] Tri-County City where Bonnie lives. In
[22:54] front of that tunnel on the 101 freeway
[22:56] north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Buzz
[22:57] tries to propose to Jessie, but she cuts
[22:59] him off with a kiss, and Buzz's leg pops
[23:01] up with the same speed of his turned on
[23:03] wings popping up when he first saw
[23:04] Jessie in action in Toy Story 2. The
[23:06] toys arrange for Blaze to visit with
[23:08] Bonnie's dolls, and Blaze recites the
[23:10] pullstring catchphrase that she heard
[23:11] from Jessie. Yes, it was Jessie's words
[23:13] exactly that breaks the ice between
[23:15] these girls. Bonnie calls after Blaze,
[23:17] and these two goofballs just match each
[23:19] other's playful freak well enough to
[23:20] become besties. The animators and
[23:22] effects team talked about what they had
[23:23] to really figure out for the specific
[23:25] curly hair on Blaze's head, and how each
[23:27] curl had to be kind of aware of the
[23:29] other curls in its proximity, and how it
[23:31] unlocked a whole new way to show
[23:32] characters of different ethnicity in
[23:33] future Pixar films. And specifically
[23:35] this moment of her using it as a beard
[23:37] to make Bonnie laugh was for the film.
[23:38] You can see how it was really important
[23:40] just for this story, too, to get it
[23:41] right. And we see Bonnie and Blaze's two
[23:43] imagination chalk pastel worlds come
[23:45] together in Buzz and Jessie's wedding.
[23:47] Buzz wears a kilt. Sammy to the
[23:49] salamander sits in a pew. As Mr.
[23:51] Pricklepants said earlier, he is the
[23:52] ordained minister of the ceremony after
[23:54] Bonnie dressed him as a haunted priest
[23:55] in the past Halloween. The robe of act
[23:57] brings the ring down. Yes, Bonnie's
[23:59] mom's actual wedding ring. But because
[24:01] this is partially Blaze's imagination,
[24:03] there has to be a big dramatic twist.
[24:04] Trixie stops the wedding to say Buzz was
[24:06] already married to her. Bonnie and Blaze
[24:08] plan a sleepover, and Bonnie pulls
[24:09] Jessie's pullstring one more time, and
[24:11] we hear Jessie's recorded voice say,
[24:13] "Friends forever, partner." Yes, the
[24:15] same pullstring phrase that Jessie said
[24:17] in her last words to Emily. And we pull
[24:18] back from Bonnie's house as they invite
[24:20] the Jackson twins over to play. Figured
[24:21] that problem out, too, didn't we? And
[24:23] the camera sweeps past Blaze's farm with
[24:25] a tree and the tire swing. And Taylor
[24:27] Swift's I knew it I knew you takes us
[24:28] through the credits. And the mid-credit
[24:30] scene shows a lonely kid on a playground
[24:32] as one of the Buzz drones floats down
[24:34] like an angel to be his best friend. And
[24:35] then all the kids on the playground get
[24:37] them, too, as does this teacher. One kid
[24:39] pulls out an enhanced Zurg figure that
[24:41] laughs and says, "We meet again, my
[24:43] son." A voice cameo by co-director
[24:46] Andrew Stanton himself. Those are all
[24:47] the Easter eggs I found in Pixar's Toy
[24:49] Story 5, a movie I very much enjoyed. A
