Finding Dory Easter Eggs & Special Features!

Disclosure: Review copy received & contains affiliate link. All opinions are mine.

The summer blockbuster hit, Disney Pixar’s Finding Dory has arrived on Blu-Ray 3D, Blu-Ray, DVD and On Demand just in time for the holidays. We saw Finding Dory in the theaters and fell in love with Dory’s hilarious and heartwarming quest to find her family. My kids favorite character was Hank, the grouchy, but caring octopus who helps Dory during part of her journey.

This film has excellent bonus offers, including “Piper”, a theatrical short film starring an irresistible sandpiper hatchling. There is also a mini short featuring interviews from Dory’s pals from the Marine Life Institute, behind-the-scenes features and never-before-seen deleted scenes and much more!

One of my favorite things about watching a Disney movie is finding Easter Eggs. For those of you unfamiliar with Easter Eggs, they are hidden Disney Pixar references throughout the film.

Here are a few Easter Eggs from Finding Dory:

NOSTALGIC WHEELS – The truck that is featured late in the movie features a logo from the 1986 short “Luxo, Jr.” produced by Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. The short’s success helped launch the studio, and the image of the desk lamp appears in Pixar’s iconic logo today.
The license plate on the truck sports A113, which is reminiscent of the CalArts classroom for first-year graphic design and character animation where many of the artists and animators at Pixar began to build their craft.
Sets Art Director Don Shank’s name can be seen in the truck’s grill.

TAG IT – The tags donned by the lazy sea lions snoozing outside the Marine Life Institute together bear the iconic A113. While Rudder’s tag reads A1, Fluke’s says 13.

FIELD TRIP – Riley from 2015’s “Inside Out” appears in a group of kids touring the Marine Life Institute. She is clearly featured in a frame with Dory.

MAP IT – The registration number for the zodiac boat that picks up Dory in the bay outside the Marine Life Institute is PA1200, which represents Pixar’s address: 1200 Park Avenue.
