The great sport of Easter Egg hunting has long been a passion for fans of Pixar. And the House of the Bouncy Desk Lamp, has, in turn, obliged with many sneaky peaks and hidden cameos. You don’t have to be eagle-eyed to have spotted Toy Story’s Woody in one of the alternate outtakes at the end of A Bug’s Life, or to spy the recklessly-driven Pizza Planet delivery truck in multiple movies (all, bar The Incredibles, in fact).

This week, a new video released by Disney through the Toy Story Facebook page, demonstrates that Pixar have been playing hide and seek with us – and winning - for more than two decades. Do you know that Brave’s Merida sees Monster Inc’s Sully in a wood carving? Or that Toy Story 3’s nefarious villain Lotso is a child’s plaything in Up?

Occasionally, the Pixar universe is connected in fiendishly concealed ways. Doug from Up cameos as a rat-chasing shadow in Ratatouille. A Good Dinosaur’s Arlo is swept up after a drill in Monster’s Inc. Over the years, Toy Story, in particular, has inspired many convoluted fan theories: is Andy’s mum really Jessie’s original owner, Emily? Is Toy Story 3 actually about the holocaust? Turns out, we didn’t need those tinfoil hats to find subtext.

From 'Monsters Inc.' to 'Toy Story' and from 'Cars' to 'The Incredibles', see how Disney Pixars movies are all linked together in a newly released 'Easter egg' video. Video: Disney Pixar
