Miguel and Dante Coco Disney Pixar movie

  • Disney's new movie "Coco" has several hidden Easter eggs referencing other Pixar films.
  • There's the iconic "Toy Story" Pizza Planet truck.
  • But also characters from "Finding Nemo,""Monsters Inc.," and "The Incredibles."
  • Warning: Minor spoilers ahead for "Coco."

Disney's Pixar animators are known for embedding movie references and Easter eggs within each new feature film they craft. The studio's latest movie "Coco" is no exception. We're going to run through all five Easter eggs spotted within the movie, starting with the first (and most obvious).

Towards the beginning of the movie, the "Toy Story" Pizza Planet delivery truck drives by Miguel's house.

As Miguel recalls times when Abuelita banned music, a Pizza Planet truck drives past the house while blaring tunes. The Pizza Planet truck, first introduced in "Toy Story," has appeared in almost every Pixar movie.

The next Easter egg is a tiny Nemo figurine sitting on a table Miguel passes while heading to the plaza:

On his way into town, Miguel dances by a table full of alebrijes — Mexican folk art sculptures. One of them is a small clown fish, referencing the titular character of "Finding Nemo."

The next two Easter eggs are placed on another market stall in the same scene.

Dolls of Woody from "Toy Story" and Mike Wazowski from "Monsters Inc." are hanging from the corner of a vendor's stand.

Last but not least, Hector and Miguel pass by an "Incredibles" poster on the alley wall when they're heading to the talent show.

This is likely a nod to the upcoming "Incredibles 2" sequel arriving next summer
