Trivia: When Woody thinks the toys who were in the trash bag are being crushed at the back of the garbage truck, the truck's license plate number is RM237. Then later, when Woody goes back to Sunnyside to rescue his friends, Chatter Telephone warns him about the Monkey who is the "eye in the sky" while watching the security monitors, and in a couple of shots of those monitors there's a box at the right side of the table which has a very distinctive design. Both are nods to the movie The Shining. (00:56:15)
