Monsters University: 10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed

2. The Abominable Postman

Snowman While watching Monster€™s University, I was sat awaiting the Yeti cameo. John Ratzenberger has provided a voice for every Pixar movie, becoming known as the studio€™s good luck charm until Cars 2 disappointed everyone. As Mike and Sully entered the real world I began to wonder if we€™d get to see this fan favourite at all. But thankfully Scanlon was just stalling us; when the duo take up their job in the mailroom their boss is none other than the lovable white fluff ball. It€™s short but sweet - seeing him helps tie the two movies together and there€™s even a hint at how he ended up banished. But everyone saw that and it isn€™t simply appearance that has the character make this list. The Abominable Snowman being a postmaster is a direct nod to one of Ratzenberger€™s most famous live action roles; the postman Cliff Clavin in Cheers. Over many of the audience€™s heads, it€™s the best reference since his recurring appearances were directly referenced in Cars.
