Line 326:
** The overall plot and tone of the series (especially the third film) has more than a glancing similarity to ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' -- the first feature-length film Lasseter and Ranft worked on.
** The evil [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]] ''had'' to have been at least partially inspired by ''[[Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders|Merlins Shop of Mystical Wonders]]''.
** The little binocular wind-up toy could be a reference to the same character appearing way back in the cute [[Disney]] documentary ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20111115101635/http://madnessmonster.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/toys-come-from-review/ Where The Toys Come From]''.
** Look quick at the books Andy packs away and you'll spot the title of [[A.I.: Artificial Intelligence|another sad movie about a nonhuman who loves his owner unconditionally and went to great lengths to find her again]].
** In the 2nd movie Mr. Potato Head takes off his hat and throws it at the door of [[Villainous Glutton|Al's]] apartment building to keep it from closing. Oddjob from ''[[Goldfinger]]'' couldn't have done it better.
