Now, serious Pixar sleuths have compiled a master mash-up of hidden Easter eggs that show off nods to other movies as it speeds through clips from _Ratatouille_, _Finding Dory_, _Cars_, _WALL-E_, _The Incredibles_ and many more. Between a Nemo plush toy popping up in _Monsters University_ to an appearance from [_Inside Out_](http://time.com/3924847/pixar-disney-inside-out-emotions/?iid=sr-link10)’s Riley in the _Finding Dory_ aquarium, there are dozens of ingenious ways that the filmmakers have suggested continuity across story lines. Interestingly, the official _Toy Story_ Facebook page shared this master cut by Oh My Disney. So it looks like the wizards behind the curtain might officially approve of these theories after all. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4638276/pixar-easter-eggs-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4638276/pixar-easter-eggs-2/"},"headline":"This Video Proves How All the Pixar Movies Are Connected","datePublished":"2017-01-18T21:50:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:16.204Z","description":"From Toy Story to Finding Dory","url":"https://time.com/4638276/pixar-easter-eggs-2/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies","Disney"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4638276/pixar-easter-eggs-2/","name":"This Video Proves How All the Pixar Movies Are Connected"}}]}] ```
