In the movie Coco, Miguel at one point runs through the village market on the way to the central plaza. As he is running through the marketplace, he stops by a piñata stand. We can see piñatas of Buzz Lightyear and Andy. And, if you look even closer, you might see a familiar one eyed, green-skinned monster. That’s right- Mike Wazowski (Monsters, Inc.) also makes an appearance! Near the back of the piñata pack is a turquoise piñata, likely designed to be Sully, Mike’s partner.
These easter eggs might not be as random as you would think. The director of Coco, Lee Unkrich, worked on three different Toy Story movies and was also the co-director of Monsters, Inc. It totally makes sense that he would tip his hat to his previous work in animation.
