In the treasure cave scene, just before the ship and fort battle, there is a toy truck sitting on the pile of gold.

I’ve never seen it before but im wondering why it’s there..?

I missed that one. I know there's on in the mother's room in the treehouse and I saw one when I was on Small World.

Can someone explain to me what is the obsession over ‘Pizza Planet’ and the truck?
Is it a generational thing?
Call me a cranky old imaginative dragon, but I don’t ’get it’.

‘Toy Story’ did nothing for me when it was first released, and still invokes negative feelings as in reality its release helped kill off traditional animation.
Your view may be different. And that’s okay.

Later on in the years that followed the films release, it’s maker went crazy and overly-overused the IP everywhere in the Parks…to the point of over-overload saturation.
Which makes this dragon doubly cranky.
Not to mention the insane pile of tie in merchandise glutting up the shelves ….a synergy dream for today’s Disney.


Yeah, I’m not a ‘Toy Story’ fan at all…so I may be heavily bias, but I can see how it can appeal to folks.
It’s a movie they grew up with and all…and that’s great.
It has a fan following for sure, but the Pizza Planet truck…..?

Is the obsession just because it involves nostalgic memories of ‘Toy Story’?
Or does ‘Pizza Planet’ hold its own fan base now?
Seems a bit nutty to be shoving 52 versions of this truck into established Attractions and other locations …..where it doesn’t belong….even if just for a fun temporary ‘where’s the truck’ seek n’ find.

Just kinda scratching my head on the whole matter.

They also have a really ugly one at Mainstreet station in the window. It’s like a truck / train mix monstrosity

I certainly can't.

Is it a generational thing?

Apparently. But what generation? I would guess maybe Gen X that grew up with Pixar? Was that Gen X? Or is that the Millenials? Anyway, whoever was 10 years old in 1995 when Toy Story came out.

And so 40 year old adults are obsessed over the Pizaa Planet delivery truck now in 2024? Why? And what does that have to do with pirates or old New Orleans?

Call me a cranky old imaginative dragon, but I don’t ’get it’.

You are not cranky, and you are not old, but you are an imaginative dragon. And you aren't the only one who doesn't get it.

Pirates of the Caribbean cycles through about 40,000 people on the average 16 hour summer day. How many of those 40,000 will know why that truck is there? This campaign doesn't seem well thought out.

Totally agree. Toy Story is actual a rip off of the Jim Henson's Christmas Toy tv movie from 1986. It is the same plot except if Andy saw one of the toys out of place or moving, the toy freezes forever!
