I’ll be honest, I’m not great with Easter eggs. I tend to get wrapped in movies and not notice all the little things, and in Pixar movies, there are a lot of little things. Here are 11 you probably missed.

1. Sid uses Binford tools

In the original Toy Story, Sid uses Binford tools. Binford was the fictional sponsor of Tim Allen’s show on Home Improvement. Tim Allen also voiced Buzz Lightyear.

They’re so clever.
