Pixar have made it abundantly clear throughout the years that most of their filmmakers have an extreme fondness for the works of Stanley Kubrick, especially his horror classic The Shining.

This is evidenced no better than in Toy Story, where the carpet in Sid's house is very clearly styled on that of the Overlook Hotel's own iconic carpet design.

We get a prolonged look at it when Woody attempts to rescue Buzz from Sid's house, effectively confirming just how completely deranged Sid actually is.

The number "237" also appears several times in Toy Story 3, in reference to the hotel's infamously cursed room 237.
