Pixar including nods – past, present, and future – to its movies is nothing new. Monsters Inc had Boo holding Nemo from Finding Nemo, Toy Story 4 includes a sneaky reference to Up, and pretty much every single one of Pixar’s classics has the Pizza Planet truck tucked away in there somewhere.

Its latest release, Turning Red, is no different – and you can even see an Easter egg to the upcoming Lightyear, starring Chris Evans as the titular spaceman-turned-space-toy.

Speaking to Screen Rant about Turning Red’s many, many Easter eggs, director Domee Shi said, "Yeah, they're all there. Yeah, all the classic ones: Pizza Planet Truck, Luxo Ball, A113's in there. Also, every Pixar film has an Easter Egg that is a nod to the next film coming up. So there's a Lightyear Easter egg."

You don’t need to look to infinity and beyond to find the Lightyear Easter egg in Turning Red – we’ve already found it.

Head to 3:25 when streaming the movie to see Meilin and her adorkable group of besties strolling down the street. On the bottom of Miriam’s skateboard, you can see a Lightyear sticker. Neat. In case you missed it, here’s a quick shot of it courtesy of Twitter user @drbiby.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
