Toy Story

Trivia: When Buzz & Woody are on RC, it very briefly shows Andy's little sister in the car, watching them from the mirror. In the background, we can hear "Hakuna Matata" from Disney's "The Lion King" playing on the radio. (01:12:05)

Trivia: While Buzz is riding RC chasing after the moving truck, when Scud runs into the intersection causing the car pile-up, we see the building "Virtual Realty" the real estate company that sold Andy's house, and the bowling alley "Luxo Lanes" named after "Luxo, Jr" the first short film produced by Pixar in 1986. In the car pile-up, a blue car's license plate is "RES1536" which is also the Pizza Planet truck's license plate number, and the number's taken from Toy Story‍'‍s film resolution - 1536 x 922, the RES stands for resolution. Also, on the teal car's tire it reads "Tigger Paw" named after Disney's Tigger, and a play on the brand Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires.

Trivia: The sound the globe makes when rolling towards Buzz is the exact same noise as the boulder that rolls toward Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. (00:27:10)

Trivia: One of the books on Andy's bookshelf is "Smyrl, Smyrl, Twist and Twirl". This is a reference to Eliot Smryl on the modeling team.

Trivia: Original drafts of Toy Story had Woody as a mean, cold-hearted toy. However, that changed when the animators realised that audiences needed to be able to sympathize with Woody.

Trivia: A life-size replica of Andy's room, from the perspective of his toys, was created in Madrid.

Phaneron

Trivia: While Buzz and Woody are at the gas station, after Buzz tells Woody of Emperor Zurg's secret weapon being built, when Buzz says, "Farewell" to Woody, Buzz raises his hand and does something similar to the Vulcan salute from Star Trek.

Toy Story mistake picture

Continuity mistake: There's an electrical outlet on the wall below the window (aligned with the window shade's loop) in Sid's room near the Megadork poster, but when Sid throws Woody to the floor and raises the shade (before he scorches Woody's forehead with the magnifying glass), that outlet has vanished.

More quotes from Toy Story

Question: When Woody and Buzz are at Sid's house, at one point the baby with the spider legs taps something in Morse code to Sid's other toys. Is he really tapping something in Morse code or is it just a random jumble of dots and dashes?

Answer: Baby face taps RR TOYS COME OUT. Telling the other toys to come out from hiding. Pixar stated this in their Toy Story character overview.

But why "RR"?

"RR" is shorthand for "Message Received." Babyface is telling Woody that he understands Woody's problem and then taps out to the other toys to come out.
