Monsters & Co: It took us 23 years to notice this little detail

Since their first feature films were made nearly 30 years ago, the prestigious Pixar studios have enjoyed creating bridges between their films, crossing from one series to another to plant clues that might make some of their fans think that all their works are connected.

in 16 minutes and 54 seconds

For example, in Monsters & Co, we strongly recommend that you press the pause button on your remote at exactly 16 minutes and 54 seconds. Be quick and precise, because the detail to be observed here is hidden behind a hot door, and therefore only appears on the screen for a tenth of a second. It is enough to escape our vigilance for many years.

In this sequence, one of the monsters whose job it is to collect the children’s cries emerges from the room he entered. Terrified, he explains that he almost came into contact with this child, which is considered very dangerous for all residents of Monstropolis.

But have you noticed the poster behind the door before it closes?

Same poster as Sid

If you’re observant enough and know every Pixar movie like the back of your hand, you might recognize it. Because in reality, the same poster also hangs in the room of Sid, the hideous toddler who terrorized Woody and Buzz in the first Toy Story.

Some fans therefore go so far as to imagine that the poor monster was in Sid’s very lair, and that the latter, true to his reputation as a real terror, had actually injured him.

Yes but…

But there is a small problem. Indeed, when leaving the room, the monster does not wake up the boy, but the little girl. “He almost touched me, he was close to me!”She tearfully exclaims before her colleague reminds her that she is only 6 years old.

Supposedly, the Monsters & Co. employee didn’t run into Sid, but his little sister Hannah (a few years before the games’ story, in which she’s about 8 or 9 years old).

What do you think of this little detail that cleverly ties together two of Pixar’s most famous feature films?
