Having seen the movie 9 times as of Aug 10, I'm now trying to spot all the trivia items. I've seen the Pizza Planet truck, but I scanned the background shelves inside WALL•E's truck, but couldn't spot Rex from Toy Story? And the Pixar trivia sites, which say he's there, aren't much help.
So can anyone provide some hints on when and where to look, so I don't have to miss the main action staring at those shelves in search of the little green dinosaur?
Thanks!

When the door opens for the first time and we see the sunlight fall across the shelves . . . I think he's in like the second close-up shot of the shelves. REALLY quick but right in your face. I was distracted the first couple times by the sunlight movement effect because your eye naturally follows as the light moves. You have to kind of force yourself to stare right at the shelves.
There's no other action in those shots other than closeups of the shelves (an "establishing" shot). Once you see him, you'll kick yourself you hadn't seen him before.

Thanks, vanessajoyce!
I already did that ("kicked myself") when I finally noticed EVE slamming the hood down on the Pizza Planet Truck during my 9th viewing, after already looking for the truck in the 7th and 8th viewings . . . I was thinking that truck would be in the BNL Ultrastore parking lot!
Looking forward to another flash of the blindingly obvious!

I haven't managed to spot Rex yet, though I've only seen the movie twice...I was looking for him on the second time, though.

Well . . . I'm bad . . . but I hope you guys don't find him too soon . . . then you have an excuse to keep going to see it over and over again!  |

Just to make sure this thread actually contains the way to find Rex  When WALL-E opens the trailer door . . . there will be "establishing" shots that will give quick glimpses of his shelves. Count three shots . . . the fourth one looks like this . . .  |

Yep, Rex is pretty hidden! Much moreso than the giant Pizza Planet truck. Makes me wonder if there's anything else hidden at least as well, if not better, that we haven't found yet.

Well, Mike Wazowski makes an appearance as WALL-E is just waking up from hibernation early in the film (before he charges his solar cells).

Right here:  When WALL-E is thinking something along the lines of "Coffee now!" |

The eye shape in the background behind him? I'm not positive that's Mike, but it's cool if it is.  |

Two things on this thread . . .
First, on viewing #13 today, I finally saw Rex! When we first see inside WALL•E's truck, Rex's much-faded, almost grey head can be seen in a shelf behind a couple of white bowling pins. I think the whiteness of the pins, combined with Rex's almost grey head blending into the background make it very hard to spot him, given the shot only lasts a couple of seconds.
Second, I can verify Bkim's spotting of Mike Wazowski on the back of a shelf just to the right of WALL•E as he wakes up the next morning. It is a somewhat small Mike Wazowski doll, that like Rex, is also so faded from his original green that Mike is almost grey, too.
Anyone see any more Pixar "placements" or references?
