Where To Spot Pixar's Pizza Planet Truck In Turning Red
Warning! SPOILERS for Turning Red.
Like previous Pixar movies, Turning Red also includes an Easter egg appearance of Pixar’s Pizza Planet truck – here’s where to spot it. Turning Red was released exclusively on Disney+ on March 11, becoming the third Pixar film to be released only on the streaming platform after Soul and Luca. Turning Red follows 13-year-old Meilin “Mei” Lee (Rosalie Chiang) and her life as a straight-A student, a fan of boyband 4*Town (alongside her friends Miriam, Priya, and Abby), and a great helper to her mother Ming (Sandra Oh) at the temple they run in Toronto. Mei’s life changes unexpectedly following a fight with her mom when she realizes that if she experiences strong feelings, she'll transform into a red panda.
Pixar’s Pizza Planet truck is located in all Disney Pixar movies except for The Incredibles, going as far as taking the form of a three-wheeled retro Piaggio Ape in Luca. The truck first appeared in Pixar’s first movie, Toy Story, in 1995, where it proved to be a means of transportation for Woody and Buzz Lightyear. In Toy Story 2, the Pizza Planet truck also was important to the story, as Buzz, Mr. Potato Head, Slink, Hamm, and Rex used it to follow a captive Woody to rescue him.
