The Good Dinosaur: 22 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed

7. Mad Magazine?

During the hilarious acid trip sequence after Arlo and Spot eat well fermented fruit from the ground, the little human's head swells horribly (to the point where it seems like he's suffering an allergic reaction). When the swelling subsides he looks almost exactly like Mad Magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman. And in the same drug sequence, Arlo sprouts extra eyes around his own, giving him the immediately recognisable look of fellow Pixar character Squishy from Monsters University. It's probably not an accident - The Good Dinosaur's director Pete Sohn voiced the five-eyed monster, after all.
