All the Easter Eggs in Pixar’s Soul

 

 

 

If you’re a lover of all things Disney and Pixar, you’re likely familiar with their movie Easter eggs (hidden references to other films) throughout their animated features. It's one of our favorite parts of Disney and Pixar movies: hunting for the Easter eggs in the films!

Pixar Soul still image

In Disney and Pixar’s “Soul,” Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) is a middle-school band teacher whose true passion is playing jazz. When he gets lost in his music, he goes into “the zone,” an immersive state that causes the rest of the world to literally melt away. Globally renowned musician Jon Batiste will be writing original jazz music for the film, and Oscar®-winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, will compose an original score that will drift between the real and soul worlds. “Soul” opens in U.S. theaters on June 19, 2020. © 2020 Disney/Pixar.

Pixar’s Soul did not disappoint on the Easter egg front. Whether walking down the streets of NYC or wandering the Hall of Everything, you should have found dozens of fantastic Easter eggs in Pixar’s Soul.

Check out what we found below!

Pixar’s Upcoming Project Easter Egg

Pixar always includes an Easter egg for its next feature animation in its latest release. There’s a nod to Luca as Joe and 22 walk past a travel agency. The poster for PortoRosso—a location you can fly to on Luca Airlines. Luca is scheduled to release on June 18th, 2021.

You may recall in Pixar Onward, one of the albums was a Dorothea Williams album.

22 Voices Callbacks

As 22 demonstrates all the voices she is capable of impersonating, one she demonstrates is Carl Fredricksen from Pixar’s UP.

Soul Easter Eggs Hall of Everything

The Hall of Everything

The Hall of Everything has, well, everything.

Like the Toy Story 4 Antique Mall scene, The Hall of Everything needs to be paused and watched slowly (a few times) in order to catch all the Easter eggs.

So many Easter eggs and I’m sure we missed a few. Let us know what else you found in the comments!

  • Pizza Planet Truck from Toy Story franchise
  • Starliner spacecraft Axiom from WALL-E
  • The Spirit of Adventure blimp from UP
  • Willy’s Butte from Cars
  • Ferris wheel from Toy Story 4
  • Aztec building from Coco
  • The Eiffel Tower is a callback to Ratatouille
  • Luxo Jr. lamp from the short film Luxo Jr.
  • A113 street sign, a reference to the A1-13 animation classroom at California Institute of the Arts in the Character Animation Program

Broccoli pizza!

A nod to Anger perhaps? The broccoli pizza on the top of the pizza display rack seen as Joe tries to educate 22 about pizza is call back to Inside Out.

New York City Pizza Rat

Thank you, Pixar for making the infamous 2015 rat who dragged an entire slice of pizza down the subway steps of NYC, aka, Pizza Rat. If you have no idea what I’m referring to, here’s the video captured by comedian Matt Little.

Soul Luxo Ball Easter Egg

Luxo Ball

22 uses the Luxo Ball as a table in her home box in the Great Before.

Soul Partners Statue Easter Egg

“Partners” Statue

In Dr. Borgensson's Hall of You, you can see a statue of him standing pointing with one arm while holding the hand of a child with the other. This statue is modeled after the “Partners” Statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse that displays at both Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland.

Mystics and Dylan Lyrics

The Mystics float around to the tune of “Subterranean Homesick Blues. Who doesn’t love a good Bob Dylan song that contemplates the virtues of life, but one that includes lyrics like “better jump down a manhole?” A touch meta.

A Walrus Headed to the Great Beyond?

As Joe finds himself heading to the Great Beyond, he runs into three Souls heading in the same direction. One of them casually states, “This beats my dream about the walrus.”

READ NEXT  Space Jam 2 Easter Eggs - All the Easter Eggs You May Have Missed in Space Jam a New Legacy

Likely a reference to “The Walrus and the Carpenter” song from Disney's 1951 Alice in Wonderland. The slightly disturbing song tells the story of a walrus and a carpenter who lure a family of young oysters away from their mother, where the walrus distracts the carpenter so that he can devour them all. That walrus was the last thing those oysters saw before they died. Dark, sinister analogy to that walrus or innocent comment on the weirdness of dreams? Comment below on which you think it is.

Burrow

The Pixar SparkShorts film Burrow that played ahead of Soul also got its own Easter egg. During a quick shot through multiple burrows, Kitbull can be seen in a steam room.

Finding Nemo

The hospital room they enter on their way out is room number P742. This is a nod to P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney from Finding Nemo. Sherman has 7 letters. 

Soul 2319 Easter Egg

Photo: ©2020 Disney/Pixar

 

2319

Joe and 22 hop on a subway train numbered 2319—the code from Monsters Inc. used when a human contaminant is found in the monster world. It’s a double Easter egg as 22 is supposed to be in the Great Before looking for her spark, and Joe is supposed to be heading to the Great Beyond, so both are intruders (monsters) in a world where they do not belong. 

Monster’s Inc. was Pete Docter’s directorial debut.

Soul Brang Easter Egg

Brang

There is an ad on the subway for Brang that can be partially seen. Brang is the name of Riley's dad's startup company in Inside Out. Docter co-directed Inside Out.

John Ratzenberger

John Ratzenberger is an Easter egg in and of himself, as the only actor to voice a character in every Pixar movie. As Joe bumps into a fellow subway passenger, the passenger says, “Hey, take it easy, eh?”

A113

Another A113. I mean, it is in every Pixar movie so why not have it in one twice! When Terry pushes a key on the untuned piano it is the “A1” note. Since the piano is not in tune (110 Hz) the tuning is actually 113 Hz. 

Edna Moda

If Libba’s friend looks a little familiar, it’s likely not a coincidence. She does resemble Edna Mode from The Incredibles.
