Pixar movies are famous for hiding little surprises called Easter eggs. These hidden gems connect one movie to another, giving fans something fun to find. Take Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., for example.
At first glance, these movies seem unrelated. Toy Story is about toys coming to life, while Monsters, Inc. is about monsters scaring kids for energy.
But some fans think there’s a connection. They believe Boo from Monsters, Inc. grows up to be Andy’s mom in Toy Story. Sounds wild, right? The idea started because both movies have a Jessie doll.
Is Boo from Monsters, Inc. Really Andy’s Mom in Toy Story?
In Monsters, Inc., Boo has a doll that looks like Jessie. Then, in Toy Story 2, Jessie talks about her old owner, Emily, who looks a lot like Boo.
The theory gets more complicated when people notice Andy wearing a red cowboy hat, just like Jessie. Some even think Andy’s mom passed her hat down to him.
But there are some problems with this theory. Pete Docter, who helped make both movies, says the stories were never meant to be connected. He thinks the idea is fun but doesn’t believe it’s true.
While it’s exciting to think about these connections, sometimes an Easter egg is just a fun nod to another movie. So, next time you watch a Pixar film, keep an eye out for these hidden surprises!
