Little known facts from Disney Pixar’s ‘Up’
In case you missed it, easter eggs from ‘Up’
In anticipation of Disney Pixar’s November 10th release of Up on DVD and Blu-ray, here are some little know facts from the movie.
* In the sequence where Carl’s house first lifts up, the Luxo Jr. ball can be seen in the girl’s bedroom as the house goes by her window.
* The Pizza Planet Truck, which first made an appearance in Toy Story, has made a cameo in nearly every Pixar film. In Up, the Pizza Planet truck can be seen at an intersection when Carl’s house flies over the town. The truck makes as second appearance in the Fentons Creamery parking lot at the end of the film.
* The number A113, which refers to Brad Bird and John Lasseter’s former classroom at CalArts, makes an appearance in every Pixar film. A113 is the courtroom number when Carl makes an appearance to plead his case.
* Fentons ice cream parlor in the movie is based on the real Fentons Creamery in Oakland, California.
* The flight number on Carl and Ellie’s tickets to Venezuela is 2319 – the same number as the alert in Monsters, Inc. when George Sanderson has a kid’s sock on his back.
* When Russell and Carl join Muntz for dinner in his dirigible, Carl is actually served the scallop dish from Ratatouille.
The Pizza Planet truck is actually in EVERY pixar film:
Toy Story (and Toy Story 2) – obvious
Bug's Life – above the City
Monsters Inc – near the trailer where Randal is banished
Finding Nemo – shooting past as Gil describes the escape plan across the street
Incredibles – On the street in Metropolis toward the end of the film
Cars – a version of the truck with eyes is a fan at the second race at the end of the film
Ratatouille – seen briefly during the paper chase
WALL-E – EVE looks in vain in a beat up one for the plant
UP – as mentioned above.
Hope that helps! Happy Pixaring!
