Day 440: Pizza Planet Truck

When I asked my Music theory class for random Disney topics, this was one of the things that came up: The Pizza Planet Truck. Now, for those of you that don't remember or know, this is the truck that Woody and Buzz ride in during the original Toy Story film. And Pixar, being Pixar decided that it would be a grand old time to include the truck in just about every single Pixar film after it. Because they're just awesome like that.

So, of course, it was in Toy Story, for quite some time. In A Bug's Life, it sits next to the trailer house (which you can later see in Monsters Inc. as well!). So they kind of killed two birds with one stone there...references to more than one Disney film all at once. Awesomeness.

In Finding Nemo, the truck can be seen as Gill explains is escape plans to the others. It's through a plastic bag as they roll towards the road and over into the ocean. Because of course there's a Pizza Planet truck in Australia. Apparently they went international!

In Cars, the truck got a revamp...meaning a mouth and eyes to make it an actual character. I like it. Granted, Cars is my favorite Disney Pixar Film...so I suppose I'd like it either way.

It's a bit far off in Ratatouille, on the bridge as Skinner is chasing Remy, but it's there, and in WALL-E, the truck is found broken and rusted in a junkyard as Eve searches through it for a plant. In Up, the truck gets another redesign, looking more like a delivery van, but it's still there, and obviously Pizza Planet. They must have modified stuff for the big city. Of course, in Toy Story 3 we see it again on the road, looking a little worse for wear during the scene that tells the story of Lotso. In Brave, it's one of the carvings in the woodworking shop the Witch owns, and while I'm not sure where off the top of my head, I'm sure it appears in Cars 2 and Monsters University, because not having it at this point just wouldn't make sense. 

I just love it when Pixar throws in Easter Eggs. They're always so fun to spot. Of course, people continuously ask me about them and sometimes I'm just like yeah I know already, but I really do enjoy it. My favorite happens to be A113, which my brother and I love pointing out. 

Have a magical day!

Day 259: Bulletin Boards

Last night I was at home, at least until around 9. Then I headed back to college. Carrying my laundry basket and my bag and all kinds of stuff and a bag of groceries, I walked up the three flights of stairs and headed towards my room while fumbling with my key, but you know what? I stopped. In the hallway. Why, you may ask? This:

Yeah, it pretty much made my day. It's one of those things you see sometimes, like on Pinterest or on some other site and then you're like "I wish I could have that somewhere," but then you realize that you will not have that somewhere. Unless you're in college and you have an awesome RA that does awesome things like this! 

Here's a few other details from the board: 

Along the bottom of the board is the selection of all the Pixar movies and what we learned from them, so I just randomly picked A Bug's Life because, well, it looks a bit awkward to be standing in the middle of the hallways taking pictures of the wall, but that's ok!

And then in the middle of the board there are lessons we've learned from the Disney Princesses. Obviously I picked Rapunzel, she is my favorite after all. But pretty much everyone other than Merida is up there (because she's obviously pretty new and wasn't part of the set yet). One of my favorite things about the Princess part though is the fact that they are all tailored to stuff going on for us in college, so it all works out great! 

At the current moment I'm watching DWTS...which is odd and I felt I needed to include it because I normally don't watch the show. But tomorrow we'll discuss WHY I'm watching this show and not really working on my homework like I probably should be. Don't worry, I'm just waiting for a particular couple to dance so I can turn it off and get to work. =)

Frumpstagram today had a prompt of "Frump," which kind of honestly confused me at first. I mean what does "Frump" stand for other than the obvious connect to the original creator of the entire thing and the title! But eventually I figured it out. Who's frumpier than my brother sometimes? Not in a bad way because it's always adorable, but some of his expressions are great. So here's today's Frumpstagram post! 

Here's today's Disney History: 2008: Disney World formally reveals plans for its Bay Lake Tower at Disney World's Contemporary Resort - confirming earlier reports that the 15 story tower rising just beyond the Magic Kingdom will be used for time shares. 

Have a magical day!
