Fans
of Disney Pixar’s feature films love to scour the screen in search of
the Hidden Gems the filmmakers sneak into each film: WALL•E’s
explorations uncover a Mike Wazowski antenna ball, paying homage to
Monsters, Inc., and in Up, the classic Luxo Jr. ball can be seen in the
girl’s bedroom as Carl Fredricksen’s house flies by her window.
Disney*Pixar’s MONSTERS UNIVERSITY features a few such gems, three of which are revealed here:
A113
– The School of Scaring classroom number is A113, which refers to the
former classroom of John Lasseter, Brad Bird, Pete Docter and Andrew
Stanton at CalArts. The number makes an appearance in every Pixar
feature film.
Pizza Planet
– The Pizza Planet truck is in the driveway of the JOX fraternity house
when Mike is riding Archie the Scare Pig down Greek Row. The Pizza
Planet truck, which first made an appearance in "Toy Story," has made a
cameo in nearly every Pixar feature film.
Luxo –
The Pixar Luxo ball is in graffiti on the wall behind Claire Wheeler
and Brock Pearson during their introduction to the Scare Games’ first
challenge. Pixar Animation Studio’s groundbreaking short film “Luxo Jr.”
was the first computer animated short film released by Pixar during its
first year as a studio in 1986.
