TOY STORY 5 BREAKDOWN: Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

[00:00] I found every Pixar Easter egg in Toy

[00:02] Story 5, including the exact

[00:04] never-before-found Gato reference and a

[00:06] crazy joke the animators slipped in for

[00:08] Conan O'Brien's character, Smarty Pants.

[00:10] And I actually found Lotso in this

[00:13] movie. I wish I was kidding. I'm Eric

[00:15] Boss of the New Rockstars channel and

[00:16] this is a breakdown of all the Easter

[00:18] eggs, callbacks, references, and details

[00:20] you missed in Toy Story 5. I loved this

[00:23] movie and there were so many hidden

[00:24] details in every scene that I just had

[00:26] to break it down scene by scene. So,

[00:28] let's get started. Toy Story 5 opens

[00:30] with a point of view shot of one of the

[00:32] high-tech edition Buzz Lightyear's

[00:34] looking up at a palm tree from under his

[00:35] helmet on a remote tropical island that

[00:37] their shipping container apparently

[00:38] washed up on. Yeah, these Buzzes' fates

[00:40] are kind of similar to another Tom Hanks

[00:42] film, Castaway. But, it's interesting

[00:44] how we start this movie from a point of

[00:45] view of both a Buzz and a Jessie and a

[00:47] Woody all either in or looking up at a

[00:49] tree. Right away, we see this Buzz's

[00:52] chest console lights up with the space

[00:54] command sigil, whereas the 1995 Buzz's

[00:56] chest just has a sticker. This movie

[00:58] will set out to show that not all

[01:00] tech-enhanced toys are evil. When used

[01:02] properly and in moderation, they can

[01:03] serve other needs for a child. These

[01:05] high-tech Buzzes really serve that

[01:07] thematic mission. And it's pretty cool

[01:08] how this fifth movie totally gets the

[01:10] assignment of restoring Buzz Lightyear's

[01:11] reputation as the coolest toy ever.

[01:14] Similar to the opening sequence of

[01:15] Wall-E, also directed by Andrew Stanton,

[01:17] we get this really fun non-verbal

[01:19] sequence of these Buzzes waking each

[01:21] other up and scouting the island.

[01:22] According to the crew, there are exactly

[01:24] 51 Buzzes here. They start a campfire

[01:27] and before you ask, "How did these toys

[01:29] start a fire?" Um, did we forget the

[01:31] critical moment in the first Toy Story

[01:32] film when Buzz's dome focused sunlight

[01:34] to ignite the fuse? That's how. These

[01:37] embers flowed up to the brightest star,

[01:38] giving these Buzzes the star of their

[01:40] star command that will bring them

[01:42] ultimately to Jessie, who got her

[01:44] star-shaped sheriff badge from Woody in

[01:46] the final scene of Toy Story 4. And you

[01:48] know Pixar's overlords at Disney were

[01:50] thrilled that this movie ties in with

[01:51] the studio's motif of every animated

[01:53] movie having a wishing star. That's the

[01:56] one wish star of all Disney wishers. We

[01:58] transition to the blue sky with puffy

[02:00] clouds that really perfectly matches

[02:02] Andy's wallpaper, but we angle down on

[02:04] the tree many years prior where Jessie's

[02:06] owner Emily left her behind. We hear the

[02:08] notes of "When She Loved Me" and yes,

[02:10] many of us were crying at this point,

[02:11] but then this scene kind of

[02:12] recontextualizes exactly what went down

[02:15] there. Jessie who just wasn't left in a

[02:16] box, she really did have this emotional

[02:18] goodbye with Emily. On the inner flap of

[02:20] Jessie's jeans, thankfully never found

[02:22] by Al in Toy Story 2 cuz you know that

[02:24] guy would still be hunting her down to

[02:25] this address. Emily wrote her name in

[02:27] 1200 Ranch Road. The address number of

[02:30] 1200, no coincidence. Pixar Animation

[02:32] Studios is at 1200 Park Avenue in

[02:34] Emeryville, California. But for the

[02:36] first time, we see and hear Jessie's

[02:38] pull string phrases. Yeah, for every one

[02:40] of these films since Toy Story 2, Jessie

[02:42] has had a pull string, but it has never

[02:43] been pulled until this movie. Emily

[02:45] pulls it here and we hear Jessie go,

[02:47] "Friends forever, partner." Later in the

[02:49] movie when Blaze pulls the pull string,

[02:50] Jessie says, "I ain't afraid of nothing,

[02:52] partner." And "Yeehaw, that's right."

[02:55] It's going to be really fun to hear how

[02:56] these two particular phrases come back

[02:58] throughout the film to bring Blaze and

[03:00] Bonnie together. When Emily holds her

[03:01] face to Jessie for the last time,

[03:03] Jessie's plastic smile gives way to an

[03:04] affection and glance. Emily promises to

[03:06] never stop loving Jessie even if she

[03:08] can't see her all the time. The

[03:10] directors of every Toy Story film have

[03:11] made it pretty clear that this series is

[03:13] a metaphor for parents and children and

[03:15] how it's really a parent's job to just

[03:17] always be there for a kid even when the

[03:18] kid outgrows them. As this was the first

[03:20] Toy Story movie that I saw after

[03:22] becoming a parent, howdy howdy howdy did

[03:24] this one hit different. So, Emily's

[03:26] words here form a kind of message back

[03:28] from the kid to the parent. Just because

[03:29] I don't call or FaceTime you all the

[03:31] time doesn't mean I'm not thinking about

[03:32] you all the time. And on the final swing

[03:34] of the tire as Emily says, "I'm gone."

[03:37] In the blinding sunlight, we transition

[03:39] to the present day when Bonnie completes

[03:40] the thought. We're going to see

[03:41] throughout this movie how Jessie cannot

[03:43] get this memory of Emily out of her

[03:44] head. Emily's living rent-free in this

[03:47] plastic dome. But here, Bonnie is

[03:48] staging Forky's wedding to Karen

[03:50] Beverly, Forky's new partner from the

[03:52] final minutes of Toy Story 4, and all

[03:54] the other toys left at Bonnie's house in

[03:56] Toy Story 4 are in attendance, for the

[03:57] most part. We see Jessie, Buzz,

[03:59] Bullseye, Rex, Mr. Pricklepants,

[04:01] Buttercup, Dolly, and one alien who

[04:03] never talks in this movie, maybe because

[04:05] Pixar fired the guy who voiced him.

[04:06] Dolly now has glasses that Bonnie drew

[04:08] on her that Dolly claims helps her

[04:10] actually see better. We're really here

[04:11] in Bonnie's imagination. This film's VFX

[04:14] supervisor Thomas Jordan told TechRadar

[04:16] that the creative team experimented with

[04:17] different animation styles to show this

[04:19] and ultimately settled on this great

[04:20] pastel chalk design inspired by the

[04:22] pastel chalks used by the late great

[04:24] artist Ralph Eggleston for the very

[04:26] first Toy Story film in order to do

[04:27] lighting tests. And notice later when we

[04:29] see Blaze's imagination, it has a very

[04:31] similar pastel chalk design, though with

[04:33] just a few differences. This was the

[04:35] animator's way of showing that these two

[04:37] girls would ultimately be compatible.

[04:39] Bonnie made Rex the maid of honor who

[04:40] gets poisoned from the wedding cake. And

[04:42] notice how Rex turns blue with purple

[04:44] polka dots, the same color scheme of

[04:46] Sulley from Monsters Inc. Bonnie's a shy

[04:48] girl who's not great at breaking the ice

[04:50] and can't immediately befriend the

[04:52] Jackson twins across the street. And

[04:53] Jessie does some digging and learns that

[04:55] all the homes in town have been taken

[04:56] over by these green devices, tech. This

[04:59] bad news comes to her from this

[05:00] abandoned bath toy, Captain Suds. We

[05:02] first met Captain Suds in the 2012 Toy

[05:04] Story short Party Saur Rex. Other

[05:06] tech-fearing toys include a turtle

[05:08] sandbox, a transformer-looking toy, and

[05:10] a very funny Energizer Bunny type thing

[05:12] who's obsessed with the tap tap tapping

[05:14] and retreats into the bushes like the

[05:16] Homer Simpson meme. So, Bonnie's parents

[05:18] buy her a Lilypad tablet. The Lilypad

[05:20] based on the brand of LeapFrog. It comes

[05:22] in a Ship It box. Ship It is a shipping

[05:24] company that was first seen in

[05:25] [clears throat] Toy Story of Terror.

[05:27] There's also a Ship It Express that we

[05:28] see later in the movie by the ice cream

[05:30] parlor. Lilypad and many of the devices

[05:31] are manufactured by a company called

[05:33] Eggman. Eggman was also the name of the

[05:34] moving company from the first film, a

[05:36] reference again to Pixar artist Ralph

[05:38] Eggleston. As Bonnie gets

[05:39] screen-addicted

[05:41] with terrifying accuracy and lack of

[05:43] blinking, notice how her mom's voice

[05:44] fades away right as she starts to say,

[05:46] "And tomorrow we'll talk about" which is

[05:48] probably Bonnie's mom saying that

[05:49] they're going to have a talk about

[05:50] screen time moderation and how social

[05:52] media and DM apps can be toxic. But,

[05:54] within seconds, Bonnie doesn't even hear

[05:56] any of that. You see it's a play with

[05:57] the lily pad all night, for a while not

[05:59] even moving from her position, so the

[06:00] robo back just bumps into her. And the

[06:02] next morning, we end up echoing back to

[06:03] the first Toy Story where the new cool

[06:05] toy is up on the bed while all the other

[06:07] toys on the floor have to send the

[06:08] sheriff, this time Jessie, up to check

[06:10] it out. Lily pad is voiced by Greta Lee.

[06:12] The VFX supervisor, Thomas Jordan, also

[06:14] noted that while all the other toys'

[06:15] eyes when they come to life are somewhat

[06:17] organic, Lily's eyes are digitized.

[06:19] Another way of showing her more evolved

[06:21] status as a tech toy. Lily scrolls

[06:23] through a website on her screen called

[06:24] Ribbit. I guess it's a spin on Reddit.

[06:26] One of the articles reads, "How deep is

[06:28] the ocean?" And the art we see is

[06:30] actually a still from Andrew Stanton's

[06:31] first Pixar film, Finding Nemo. Looks

[06:33] like Marlin and Dory might have actually

[06:34] been removed from this reef, but this is

[06:36] a background that they used. Beneath

[06:38] that is a post that says, "Ducks win

[06:39] prizes?" and some duck sketches that

[06:41] some think could be a reference to the

[06:43] animated musical code named Ducks that's

[06:44] rumored to be in development at Pixar.

[06:46] Lily sends friend requests to the other

[06:47] girls in Bonnie's dance class, Chelsea,

[06:49] Cara, and Heidi, the true mean girl

[06:51] villains of this film. Chelsea's avatar

[06:53] is a beaver, which could be a nod to

[06:54] Pixar's previous film, Hoppers. Cara's

[06:56] blue bird kind of looks like one of the

[06:57] birds from the Pixar short, For the

[06:59] Birds. Bullseye shows his host to spell

[07:01] out D A N Y and then rearranges to Andy,

[07:03] just like when Andy had first written

[07:04] his name on his host at the end of Toy

[07:06] Story 2. Lily brings up an infopedia

[07:08] page on the Jessie cowgirl doll with

[07:10] imagery from the old Woody's Roundup

[07:11] puppet show that we saw in Toy Story 2

[07:13] and an eBay page for Jessie. And it

[07:15] reads "$0.00"

[07:17] meaning no one has bid on Jessie yet. I

[07:19] mean, based on the passage of time, I

[07:20] wonder if Al going out of business might

[07:22] lead to him no longer being with us.

[07:24] He's otherwise he would have bid at

[07:25] least a penny for Jessie. Lily gets

[07:27] Bonnie invited to a sleepover and

[07:28] Jessie, feeling obsolete, radios over to

[07:31] Woody's group which split off from the

[07:32] others at the end of Toy Story 4. Duke

[07:34] Caboom answers, once again voiced by

[07:36] Keanu Reeves, and then he goes over to

[07:38] Bo Peep and Woody, Bo down below by

[07:40] their skunk race car that they drive

[07:42] around in, which explains why they're

[07:44] always avoided. And Woody is up in a

[07:45] tree saving Dr. Nutcase, a peanut toy in

[07:48] a luchador mask voiced by Matty Matheson

[07:51] from The Bear and food content creator.

[07:53] He's stuck in a kite about to get eaten

[07:54] by a squirrel who thinks he's a real

[07:55] peanut. Ducky and Bunny are there

[07:57] helping with the rescue, returning from

[07:58] Toy Story 4. But it seems like Jordan

[08:00] Peele and Keegan-Michael Key did not

[08:01] return to voice any lines here.

[08:03] Meanwhile, the high-tech Buzzes make it

[08:04] to the Port of Oakland. I assume this is

[08:06] the Port of Oakland due to the fog, the

[08:08] proximity to Emeryville where Pixar our

[08:10] animation studios is, and really the

[08:11] lore every Pixar animator knows that

[08:13] these shipping container cranes were the

[08:15] inspiration for the AT-ATs in Star Wars.

[08:17] Now, George Lucas has said that's a

[08:19] myth, but I just feel like he's wrong. I

[08:21] mean, really, unless otherwise stated,

[08:22] most Pixar movies take place in San

[08:24] Francisco in the Bay Area. Certainly

[08:26] Inside Out and Inside Out 2 do, but also

[08:28] this movie has certain Bay Area

[08:30] geographical landmarks like the tunnel

[08:32] north of the Golden Gate Bridge on the

[08:33] 101. That's where Buzz and Jessie kiss

[08:35] in this movie. And the fact that horse

[08:36] ranches are nearby to some foggy port.

[08:39] Also have forest areas where people go

[08:41] hiking, and just this random elderly

[08:43] hippie couple in the VW. There's only so

[08:45] many places in America where you would

[08:46] find all those things. Though, I will

[08:47] admit whenever we see the city in the

[08:49] background of this movie, it's not the

[08:50] San Francisco skyline. At the sleepover,

[08:52] Bonnie is immediately judged for still

[08:53] playing with dolls like Jessie and

[08:55] Bullseye. So, she says, "Goodbye,

[08:57] Jessie." And then tosses them in the

[09:00] backseat and just takes Lily Pad as her

[09:01] toy of choice for the sleepover. Inside,

[09:03] these girls all just glue onto their

[09:05] screens and don't even look at each

[09:06] other. And they make Bonnie sit on the

[09:07] floor. Meanwhile, this old couple finds

[09:09] Jessie and Bullseye and drives back to

[09:10] the 1200 Ranch Road address. When Jessie

[09:13] first scans the farm, notice in the

[09:14] distance is that tree with the tire

[09:15] swing where she was left, but Jessie's

[09:17] just too panicked in this moment to

[09:18] realize the emotional significance of

[09:20] where she is. Jessie and Bullseye meet a

[09:22] real horse named Daffodil. Daffodil was

[09:24] created by the VFX team using an

[09:25] entirely new rigging system that doesn't

[09:27] use Pixar's normal lighting system of

[09:29] Luna or their rendering system of

[09:30] RenderMan. You can really see it in this

[09:32] shot after Daffodil has run Jessie and

[09:34] Bullseye back into the barn and Jessie's

[09:36] stuck under the hay. She sees Daffodil

[09:38] and Bullseye shake and stomp in parallel

[09:40] gestures, but where as Bullseye has the

[09:42] rag doll movement, Daffodil has a far

[09:44] more organic musculature to its

[09:46] movement. Woody and Bo Peep return to

[09:47] Bonnie's house. Woody wears a kerchief

[09:49] as a western poncho looking like Clint

[09:51] Eastwood as the man with no name in the

[09:53] Sergio Leone movies. Behind him when he

[09:55] lands, notice how Bonnie has drawn

[09:56] clouds on the chalkboard reminiscent of

[09:58] 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

[13:09] find a doctor near you who's taking new

[13:11] patients instantly. Thanks to Zocdoc for

[13:13] sponsoring today's video. And Zocdoc is

[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

[14:03] getting the care you need shouldn't feel

[14:05] like you're going through hoops to see

[14:06] someone. If there's something you've

[14:07] been putting off getting checked, this

[14:09] is a simple way to finally take that

[14:10] step. Head to zocdoc.com/newrockstars

[14:14] Thanks to Zocdoc for sponsoring today's

[14:16] video and helping make it easier for all

[14:18] of us to look after our health.

[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
