00:07Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most exciting Easter
00:13eggs and background details from Pixar films.
00:16We'll be getting into spoilers for many of their movies, so consider this your warning.
00:20I am a great tracker.
00:21My pack sent me on a special mission, all by myself.
00:25Have you seen a bird?
00:27Number 10.
00:28Black Boar Surprise, Hoppers.
00:30I need your help.
00:31Oh, I don't go by Doc.
00:33This recent Pixar flick follows a young girl named Mabel, who uses an advanced new scientific
00:38technology to become a robot beaver.
00:40Sorry, Doc.
00:41I'll bring it right back.
00:46Mabel!
00:51Naturally, hijinks ensue, but a movie about bizarre scientific experiments is going to
00:56have a lot going on.
00:57Besides the Hopper tech, we also get small glimpses into several other unique scientific
01:02projects.
01:03More specifically, Dr. Sam, creator of the Hopper technology, has a blackboard with inventions
01:08of stuff we've seen from other Pixar movies.
01:10For example, there's a dog collar like the one from Up, and a robot cat like Sox from Lightyear.
01:28These fun Easter eggs show that Dr. Sam's always thinking ahead, and hey, it's safe to say that
01:34these inventions could be pretty successful if she makes them.
01:37Could I help with those?
01:40You mean work for me?
01:42Look, I know I destroyed your life's work, and you probably shouldn't even have let me
01:46graduate, but I'm looking for a job, and I just want to work with people who care.
01:53Number 9, 108 billion, soul.
01:56All new souls are given unique and individual personalities.
02:00I'm an agreeable skeptic who's cautious yet flamboyant.
02:04When Joe Gardner enters a coma, he's transported to a special realm where he must get his soul
02:09back and rediscover himself in the process.
02:11In this realm, every soul gets a specific number.
02:14Dr. Borgeson will be matched with soul number 22.
02:18One of them is marked as 108,210,121,415.
02:25Soul number 108,210,121,415.
02:30Congratulations, off you go.
02:32It's a long-winded string of digits, but there's actually a reason for that.
02:37The number is believed to be how many people have ever lived in all of existence.
02:41Well, at least it was believed to be this around the time that soul was being made.
02:45I'm 106 years old, been waiting a long time for this.
02:50For what?
02:51The great beyond.
02:54The population reference Burrell has debated on this specific statistics, and it's actually
02:59believed that the real number is closer to 117 billion.
03:03Either way, though, a lot of people have lived on planet Earth.
03:06This weird.
03:07What is it?
03:08It counts off.
03:09Excuse me?
03:10These are so missing.
03:12The counts off.
03:14Number 8, Gil's species are the ultimate escapist.
03:18Finding Nemo.
03:19If you've ever seen this cinematic classic about a dad trying to rescue his son, then
03:23you know that Gil's a master escape artist.
03:26Can you help me?
03:27No.
03:28You get yourself in there, you can get yourself out.
03:31Gil.
03:32I just want to see him do it, okay?
03:33He dreams about breaking out of Dentist Sherman's office and actually succeeds in this plan,
03:38and there's an awesome reason why.
03:40Gil is a Moorish idol, which is a special type of fish known for being able to escape captivity.
03:464.2 minutes.
03:47That's your cue, shark bait.
03:48You can do it, kid.
03:50Okay, we gotta be quick.
03:51Once you get in, you swim down to the bottom of the chamber, and I'll talk you through the rest.
03:55Speaking of escaping, sharks are also pretty good at that.
03:59In this same movie, we learn that Bruce never knew his father, and shark dads being deadbeats
04:04is surprisingly accurate to real life.
04:06I never knew my father!
04:08That's sort of a depressing detail, though, so let's get back to Gil.
04:12Squeezing out of tight spaces is literally in his genetics, and that's insanely cool.
04:21Now what?
04:22Number seven, the canyons are shaped like vehicle parts, cars.
04:26This is a movie that commits to the bit insanely well.
04:29In a world where there are no humans, we're instead left with sentient vehicles as the
04:33only civilization.
04:35From top to bottom, this whole society features cars, and when we say top to bottom, we really
04:40mean it.
04:41Once we're in Ornament Valley, we see some canyons, and if you look closely, they look
04:45like old car models and parts.
04:53This movie is pretty much dedicated to showing us that vehicles essentially run the world,
04:57even right down to the geography of everything.
05:00Whoa.
05:02Look at that.
05:06Look, and they're driving right by.
05:08They don't even know what they're missing.
05:10Well, it didn't used to be that way.
05:14Oh, yeah?
05:15Yeah.
05:1640 years ago, that interstate down there didn't exist.
05:19It's some stunning attention to detail, and also a very cool reminder that humans, more
05:24or less, don't exist in this high-speed franchise.
05:27How great would it have been to see this place in its heyday?
05:30Oh, can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of that.
05:33But one of these days, we'll find a way to get it back on the map.
05:37Number six, second breakfast at Berger Shire.
05:39Onward.
05:40Hey, go Griffins.
05:42What?
05:43You go to Willardale College?
05:44Oh, no.
05:46This was my dad's.
05:47Lightfoot?
05:48Weldon Lightfoot?
05:50Yeah.
05:50You're kidding.
05:51I went to college with him.
05:52Ian and Barley are two elf brothers who go on a wild adventure for a magical relic that
05:58could bring their dad back to life for a day.
06:00At one point, we see Ian at a fast food joint called Berger Shire.
06:03And if you pay attention, you'll spot a sign advertising a second breakfast.
06:07That's a cheeky nod to Pippin from The Fellowship of the Ring.
06:10He was an extremely hungry hobbit who wanted not just one, but two breakfasts.
06:15What about second breakfast?
06:20Don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
06:23In his defense, though, he and his crew were doing a whole lot of walking.
06:26The name Berger Shire is also a riff on both Burger King and The Shire, a region of Middle
06:31Earth.
06:32Mixing fast food with fantasy?
06:34Pfft, sounds like a place to be.
06:36Madam, I request an audience with the manticore.
06:40But of course, my lord.
06:44Oh, manticore.
06:49No, no, no, no, no.
06:50The real manticore.
07:02Scaring kids is an entire industry for the monsters in this world, and they take their
07:06work very seriously.
07:15In the prequel Monsters University, we get to see the rigorous schooling necessary to be
07:19a professional scarer.
07:20We also see Randall Boggs' dorm room, and in it is a poster that says, Winds of Change.
07:26Why are you in my room?
07:27Your room?
07:28This is my, this is not my room.
07:31At a first glance, it might seem like a corny piece of wall art, but it's actually got
07:36deeper importance.
07:37That's because the first movie, Monsters, Inc., shows Randall quoting the phrase to Mike
07:41and Sully.
07:42Shh, shh, shh, shh.
07:43Do you hear that?
07:44It's the winds of change.
07:47To him, it's clearly a deeply personal mantra.
07:51Randall might have ended up a rotten apple, but it's nice to see that this quote stuck
07:55with him all these years later.
07:57Never underestimate motivational posters.
08:02Okay, unpack, check.
08:04Hang posters, check.
08:05Now I just need to ace my classes, graduate with honors, and become the greatest scarer
08:09ever.
08:10Number four, charging up, Wally.
08:27We do a lot to protect the ones we love, and Wally, no different.
08:31He's a lonely robot on a desolate earth whose entire worldview gets transformed when a new
08:36robot named Eve shows up.
08:38Eve-a.
08:52He falls head over heels in love with her, which leads to numerous sequences where he's
08:57trying to get closer to her.
08:58In this particular sequence, he tries shooting her from the rain with an umbrella like a gentleman.
09:03The only problem is a lightning bolt strikes the umbrella and electrocutes Wally for a few seconds.
09:15Since it's played as a comedic moment, Wally isn't seriously injured.
09:19In fact, if you pay attention, you can see that the lightning actually recharged his battery.
09:24Looks like things worked out for the best.
09:31Wally?
09:37Number three, IG-99, The Incredibles.
09:40India Golf Niner Niner transmitting in the blind guard.
09:43Disengage, repeat, disengage.
09:45Few superhero families are as incredible as, well, The Incredibles.
09:50And the group's matriarch, Elastigirl, is a highly skilled hero who can keep her cool under pressure.
09:55Now our kids are in danger?
09:57Hey, if you've suspected danger, why'd you bring them?
09:59I didn't bring them.
09:59They start away.
10:00And I don't think you're striking the proper tone here.
10:02While piloting a jet that's plummeting through the air, she sends out a distress signal.
10:06In the process, she calls her jet India Golf Niner Niner.
10:10Pilot!
10:11Mayday, mayday.
10:12India Golf Niner Niner is buddy's fight.
10:14Abort.
10:15Abort.
10:15There are children abort.
10:16Say again.
10:17There are children abort.
10:18No!
10:20That name's a pretty deep pool.
10:22It's basically a longer way of saying IG-99, which refers to the movie Iron Giant, which
10:28was released in the year 1999.
10:30Incredibles director Brad Bird also gave nod to Johnny Quest in Incredibles 2, since it
10:35was a cartoon he grew up watching.
10:37Iron Giant is an arguably more distinct reference, though, since this was another movie Bird directed,
10:42and a pretty darn good one, too.
10:43You can fly?
10:47You can fly!
10:49Number two.
10:50Doug is the only dog in the movie capable of tracking.
10:53Up.
10:54Sit, boy.
10:55Hey, look.
10:56He's trained.
10:57Shake.
10:58Uh-huh.
10:59Speak.
11:00Hi there.
11:00Look!
11:01Grumpy old Carl Fredrickson decides to travel the world by strapping thousands of balloons
11:06to his house and soar in the skies.
11:08So long, boys!
11:10I'll send you a postcard from Paradise Falls.
11:25The only problem is when a kid named Russell tags along.
11:28Their journey is filled with surprises, including a dog named Doug.
11:32My name is Doug.
11:33I have just met you, and I love you.
11:36My master made me this collar.
11:38He is a good and smart master, and he made me this collar so that I may talk.
11:42Squirrel!
11:43Doug proves to be a valuable resource, though, since he's able to find an extravagant South
11:48American bird named Kevin.
11:49It makes a lot of sense why Doug was able to pull this off.
11:52He's a golden retriever, and they're excellent at tracking.
11:55The other dogs in this movie weren't golden retrievers, and so they couldn't pull this
11:59difficult task off.
12:00Dogs are great companions who can do lots of things, but ultimately, some are more skilled
12:06in certain things than others.
12:07Go on, master!
12:09I will stop the dogs!
12:12Stop, you dogs!
12:18If you love games, be sure to check out WatchMojo's new game, Terrible Influence, just launched
12:23for purchase at TerribleInfluence.com.
12:26Terrible Influence is a satirical board game about the dark side of fame from the writer
12:30of the most popular girls in school and us, WatchMojo.
12:33Boom, bird.
12:34I can make an apology video.
12:36Oh, you so would!
12:37Click on the link in the description to check out the game and be the first to play Terrible
12:40Influence.
12:43Number one.
12:44Don't touch my mustache.
12:45Toy Story 2.
12:46Come on, come on, come on, pick up the phone!
12:49It's me, it's Al!
12:50I got an emergency here!
12:52Yes, we're all busy, but it has to be tonight!
12:54Toys come to life in this cinematic heavyweight of a franchise and get into all sorts of scenarios.
13:00While many people cherish toys for the warm memories they associate with them, some people
13:04like Al McWiggin just see them as property they can squeeze money from.
13:08Fixed packages to Japan is how much?
13:11What?
13:12That's in yen, right?
13:14Dollars?
13:15Dog, you are deliberately taking advantage of people in a hurry, you know that?
13:19All right, I don't, I don't, I look, I'm, I'll do it, all right, fine!
13:22I'll have this stuff waiting in the lobby and you better be here in 15 minutes because
13:26I have a plane to catch!
13:28Al's a piece of work, but the way he bumbles around is also pretty hilarious to watch.
13:32Take this scene when he's on the phone with a Japanese toy museum, for example.
13:36He ends the call warning them not to touch his mustache.
13:39What he probably meant to say was do ita shamashite, which is Japanese for you're welcome.
13:44Instead, Al butchers the word and we all get to have a laugh about it.
13:48Don't touch my mustache!
13:51Sometimes things get lost in translation.
13:54Imagine we added another zero to the price, huh?
13:58What?
13:59Yes!
14:00Yes!
14:01You got a deal!
14:02Are there any small details from Pixar movies that we didn't notice?
