All 46 References in "Toy Story" | Vanity Fair

That thing that buzz was doing is a direct reference to how humans breathe.

[KevinKadow]

Half of these are a real stretch. Sometimes a roar is just a roar.


That said, I'll give you "Howdy, Howdy, Howdy", that's a legit find.

[seanadultperson]

When Woody says “You are a toy” this is a reference to the movie Toy Story because the main characters are toys

[CatLadyofUtah]

“...it’s the exact same actor who played the Sergeant in Full Metal Jacket.” His name was R. Lee Ermey. He was a retired Marine GunnerySergeant before he was an actor. He passed away in 2018, may he Rest In Peace

[SharpDesign]

I never realized Rex quotes Back to the Future.

[houckhumin]

Some of these are kinda dumb others are good Easter eggs

[spaghettiyeti]

“The eye dilated just like it does in Jurassic Park”

Yeah I’m pretty sure all pupils do when they’re exposed to light

[alexmiranda]

Did you seriously just skip a Don Rickles reference at the beginning? You hockey puck.

[RollingOnFloorLaughing]

Don't get me wrong, it was a good Easter egg video, I learnt some things I didn't know, but everybody knows about the Wilhelm scream and there were some straight up wrong things like rex's roar sounding "JUST LIKE THE JURASSIC PARK T-REX" nah mate, it's a bit of a stretch

[tacoshell]

Did you know toy story actually references toys throughout the movie? Clever

[cearabostick]

I love how most of these are definitely a far stretch and how the video is 10 minutes 😂
Gotta get that ad revenue.

[fastestbasket]

“Here we see a car, it’s a reference to a vehicle commonly used by humans”

[CanadaDragon]

During the scene where Buzz watches the Buzz Lightyear toy commercial, Buzz's laser blast sounds just like the TIE fighter blaster in STAR WARS.

[wwood-ctyn]

"Luxo Jr." was actually the 2nd Pixar Short. The first Pixar Short was "The Adventures of André & Wally B."

[yukiayato]

Literally woody spinning his head around should remind you of child's play! When Chucky has no batteries and he turns his head around

[PopeeThePerformer]

The wallpaper in Andy’s room is a clear reference to the sky and clouds in real life. How did they miss that?

[dimitreze]

8:00 you missed the reference to Marie Antoniette with the dolls without heads

[frankcatlin]

2:06 How could you miss the reference to Billy Crystal with Woody saying like Billy does???

[bravskii]

In Toy Story 3 Woody (Tom Hanks) encounters Bonnie's toy German hedgehog. In Saving Private Ryan, Tom Hanks encounters real German hedgehogs on the beaches of Normandy. This is a really cleverly hidden reference that I'm surprised I found. I wonder how many other people found this.

NOOOO !!! YOU'VE FORGOT AN EASTER EGG !!! : the duck who squicks like donald duck is a PEZ ( this is a pocket size candy dispenser search on google if you don't know what is PEZ ) so there are 47 references 🤷‍♂️
