Pixar's "in-jokes"...

adam

Being a big fan of Pixar I've noticed quite a number of these, but never did I think there would be this many in their films!

they forgot my personal fav. every pixar movie ever made has the utah teapot someplace in the film. (the one that is a primitive in max) and every movie they make they release a special teapot themed for the movie, and it comes in the renderman tin box. The one for Ratatouille has a chef hat. a girl here at work has all of them, i got the Ratatouille one at siggraph this year, best swag ever.

The famous computer graphic of "The Teapot" can be seen on the table in Boo's room.
