Toy Story 4: 19 Easter Eggs & References Explained

18. Finding Nemo

The movie's title sequence shows Bonnie (Madeleine McGraw) playing with Woody (Tom Hanks) and her other new toys gifted to her by Andy at the end of Toy Story 3, and in one memorable beat, Bonnie is shown jumping around in scuba gear with her toys.

Pay close attention to the inflatable ring she's wearing around her waist, though: the colour scheme is a distinct orange and white with black trim, mimicking the designs of clownfish Nemo and Marlin from the Finding Nemo franchise.

So, does this suggest that Finding Nemo might actually exist as a piece of media in the Toy Story universe? It's certainly easy to believe that young Bonnie might be a fan.
