Movie Geeks

Tonight both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were on TV. It was good fun watching the movies back to back, particularly as I have not seen Toy Story in a number of years, and I have never seen the sequel.

The best thing about Pixar films is the number of references to other movies and items from the real world they hide in their movies. IMDB has a massive list of trivia on their site for both of the movies, one of my favourites is the use of the use of the utah teapot in the original movie during the tea party. One of the more interesting references that I only picked up on tonight is a reference back to Logan’s Run. In that movie they must escape carousel, in toy story they must escape the claw.
