This video contains every Easter Egg in Toy Story, including about a dozen that I don’t think anyone has ever found before.

I went frame by frame through the film, spent a lot of time squinting at license plates and googling random combinations of digits, and reaching out to Pixar employees. As a result, I believe this is the definitive collection of Toy Story Easter Eggs. (I also know way, way too much about Toy Story now).

I define an Easter Egg as: a hidden reference to the film’s creators, whether that’s the individuals who worked on the film or the company as a whole (in this case, Disney and Pixar. And I guess High Tech Toons.). The Computer Animation book and Utah Teapot are arguably not references to the film’s creators, but I decided to include hidden computer animation references (like “Virtual Realty”).

If you think you’ve found an Easter Egg that I missed…well, you’re wrong. Reread the video’s title. Remember too that I’m not counting general film references (like the chest-burster alien video game, Buzz’s Darth Vader breathing, or the globe coming down on the characters like Indiana Jones) – Easter Eggs are not just film references. The Shining gets in because it’s a Pete Docter signature to reference that movie, plus it’s pretty subtle. If they’d played The Shining music over it or had someone ride a tricycle in that scene, I wouldn’t have counted it.

Having said that, if you really truly duly think you’ve found an Easter Egg I’ve missed, let me know in the comments. Here’s some that are frequently listed around the internet that I deliberately didn’t include:
–Andy’s car license plates are A111 and A113 (they’re not, I can’t find a single shot of A111 appearing anywhere in the film)
–Rex’s roar is from Jurassic Park (I went through that film for a long while and I really don’t think they are; they just don’t match up at all)
–The sound effects during the globe-rolling scene are from Indiana Jones. Here’s the common quote: “the pushpins falling make the sound of the shooting arrows, and the globe shares the sound of the rolling boulder.” (I went through that sequence several times but just couldn’t make it match up)
–The shark with Woody’s hate quotes a Far Side comic. (This is true, and a weirdly obscure reference, but I just don’t think it counts as an Easter Egg. If the Far Side artist had worked on the film, I’d have included it, but like I said, Easter Eggs are more than just “references to pop culture”.)
–In the background of the Pizza Planet scene, one arcade machine says “Game Over Dude”, a reference to Aliens (the quote is actually “Game Over, Man”)
–The characters blink one eye at a time (true, but this is a cool animation detail, not an Easter Egg)
–Andy’s friends are all just Andy (hilarious, but again – just a detail of the animation)
–The voiceover for the Buzz Lightyear commercial is performed by Penn Jillette (cool trivia, not an Easter Egg)
–That commerical is for Al’s Toy Barn, from the second film (this is just continuity – when they were writing the second one, they would’ve plucked the name from this film film, it’s not a forward reference like they started doing later. Also, references to future films in the same franchise aren’t really eggs.)
–The pink bear is Lotso from Toy Story 3 (lol no he’s not. They did not have that film written *twenty years* ahead of time.)
–In Sid’s room, Woody hides under a handbook that teaches you how to make bombs (true, fun set-dressing, not an Easter Egg)
–The film has some funny credits: “digital angel”, “digital massage therapist” (funny, not Easter Eggs)
–The fireworks were bought from “Ill Eagle” (good joke, not an Easter Eggs)

I also don’t have anything from future films referencing back to Toy Story; I’ll do them when I get there.
