Pixar is known not just for its brilliant animations and captivating storylines but also for the amount of effort that goes into the details of each and every movie. Details that take a keen eye and a detective’s perception to notice.

Easter eggs and hidden details in Pixar movies are like leaves in Autumn—they’re everywhere. And once you notice one of them, you’ll find loads more. For all of you Pixar-loving Pandas out there, Bored Panda has created this list of some of the very best hidden details. Remember to upvote your fave Easter eggs as you continue scrolling and let us know what other hidden Pixar details you stumbled upon! When you’re done, have a look through our list of overlooked Toy Story details right here.

Pixar has its roots as part of the Lucasfilm computer division back in 1979. It was only in 1986 that it became a corporation with funding from Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. While in 2006, Disney bought Pixar for a whopping 7.4 billion dollars.

#3 In Finding Dory, Jacques’s Bag Is Cleaner Than All The Other Bags. This Is Because He’s A Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, Which Means He Eats Dead Tissue And Other Organisms.

The animation studio likes to make constant but subtle references in its movies. Not only does it sprinkle little hints that help tie each film in with all the others, but it also likes to refer to the real world. Not to mention all the metaphors hidden throughout!

It’s because of these hidden details that there are plenty of people out there who believe that every single Pixar movie happens in the same universe and that each film is connected. In fact, hidden details have inspired some fans to try and piece all the movies together into a single, coherent timeline.
