Where To Spot Pixar's Pizza Planet Truck Easter Egg In Lightyear
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Lightyear.
Keeping with tradition, Disney's new Lightyear film features the classic Pizza Planet delivery truck. An iconic Easter egg seen in nearly every Pixar film, the 1978 Gyoza Mark VII Lite Hauler pickup truck was first featured in 1995's Toy Story.

Serving as a large source of evidence for those who believe the 'Pixar Theory' where all the movies are supposedly connected in the same universe, the Pizza Planet truck has been featured in every film aside from 2004's The Incredibles (though it was featured in the video game adaptation). While it's most prominent in the Toy Story franchise, such as when Woody and Buzz hitch a ride in the first film or when several of Andy's toys work together to drive the truck in the sequel, the yellow and white pickup has always had some sort of role, however small.In WALL-E, the truck's engine was scanned by the titular robot. In Brave, it was seen as a wood carving made by The Witch. The Cars films even saw the truck coming to life as its own background character with the name Todd.
