Easter eggs are always something fun to look for, and Pixar never disappoints in that regard. They always have a number of Easter eggs that you can rely on finding in every film. Viewing Cars 3 we found all the standard ones we expected, plus a couple of others that we were just as much fun.
The Luxo ball
The Luxo ball shows up in the very first short that Pixar chief John Lasseter ever created for the company, Luxo Jr. You'll recognize the lamp from the Pixar logo, but the ball also appears in every Pixar film. In Cars 3 it makes an appearance in a slightly different way.
We never see the ball itself. Instead, we see a car during the demolition derby scene which has a paint job which matches the look of the ball. This is similar to the reference we got in Finding Dory, as the pattern of the ball was visible at one point, but we never actually saw the ball itself.
A113
A113 is a reference you see in a lot of animated films, not simply those from Pixar, it's a reference to the classroom at California Institute of the Arts where many animators learned character animation and graphic design.
In Cars 3 this is probably the most obvious Easter egg that's the hardest to miss. It's the office number for Nathan Fillion's Sterling and the number is right in the middle of the screen before Lightning goes in to speak with him. You have to work to miss that one.
Pizza Planet trucks
The Pizza Planet Delivery Truck is first used by Buzz and Woody in the original Toy Story, but since then it has appeared in nearly every Pixar movie. The truck has a rough time of it in Cars 3. Like the Luxo Ball, the Pizza Planet Truck can be found in the demolition derby scene. Things don't go well for him, as at one point he gets hit so hard that his rocket ship logo that's sitting on top of him gets knocked into the stands and grabbed by a fan. Needless to say, he doesn't win.
