Cars Easter Eggs

  • Lightning McQueen’s racing number, 95, is a reference to Pixar’s first full-length movie to ever come out. Toy Story debuted in 1995.
  • Lightning uses “Lightyear” brand tires – a reference to Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.
  • The iconic Pizza Planet truck makes an appearance in all three movies (Cars: next to the Elvis car; Cars 2: on a TV screen; and Cars 3: during the demolition race).
  • “A113” is used throughout many Pixar movies. It was the number of an animation room at California Institute for the Arts, where many Pixar animators studied. “A113” can be seen in various places in all three Cars movies.

Cars 2 Easter Eggs
